Let's get a citation for the affair thing. It's publicly acknowledged, but it'll carry more weight if it has one. --John 23:11, 9 March 2007 (EST)

I noticed he was categorized under Category: 2008 Presidential candidates. He never officially declared candidacy, therefore he shouldn't be in it. -Additioner 17:39, 20 January 2008 (EST)

Liberal Vs. Conservative

I have removed Mr. Gingrich from the conservative category into that of of detestable liberals, as the front page of Conservapedia has claimed him to no longer be a true conservative, having embraced socialistic views on Medicare. --TeaPartyFreedom76 19:12, 16 May 2011 (EDT)

Ethics Charges

Despite what his spokesperson says he was found guilty of ethics violation and had to pay a $300,000 fine. The panel found that he violated Rule 42 many times. The last three charges were dropped, as his spokesman said, in 1998 but not because they were without merit. The committee found that there was no evidence that he was still violating the rule and saw no reason to impose further sanctions.^[1][2] I'm going to remove the quote from his spokesperson.

Issues vs. quotes

I've started a new section, which shows his stand on issues (or at least indicates areas of concern to him). This may contain direct quotations, but it would not be a random collection of quotes. Wikipedia has quote farms, some of which are use for quote mining (like "Bushisms"): Gingrich said this, see how it proves he's a nutcase!

I want our readers to be able to read a straightforward statement of the man's views, not "distortion by selection". See Star Parker for a test case. See also Quotation out of context and Putting words into someone's mouth. --Ed Poor ^Talk 11:27, 9 January 2012 (EST)

Personal life

Gingrich is an orphan. The fact an orphan rises to the third highest office in the United States and is considered a viable candidate for President would be of more interest than the marital troubles intended as an obvious attack on his character should have precedence, at least in website written from a conservative viewpoint.

Ah, so we should give him a by for being an two-time (at least) adulterer. Okay, I give up. Whatever. Whitewash it anyway you want, Rob. --SharonW 19:08, 22 January 2012 (EST)

Gingrich is an orphan, right but that does not give him the right to live a sinful life !--PhilipN 19:09, 22 January 2012 (EST)

John 8:10-11, Where are thine accusers? She said, No man, Lord. "Neither do I condemn thee." [1] Rob Smith 19:15, 22 January 2012 (EST)

I know the bible Rob, but you cannot just get out of everything with it. Would you excuse murder and rape the same way ? --PhilipN 19:19, 22 January 2012 (EST)

Moses was a murderer. So was David. And between them God wrote the Pentateuch and Psalms (incidentally, Hillary cites the Book of Psalms as having inspired her to save her open marriage. As to rape, I'd have to do more bible research (and way off the point, I recently learned from the BBC that Uncle Joe Stalin condoned mass rape funded with Lend Lease dollars from FDR, but that's neither here nor there...)

And you are the one who speaks about Last wordism ? Come on, I am sure you understood my point.--PhilipN 20:48, 22 January 2012 (EST)

• According to Conservapedia, an orphan is a child who has lost both parents and has no one to look after them. I don't see how Newt Gingrich fits this description: republican-canditates.org
• A more loose definition would probably cover Obama, too.

How did CNN obtain sealed documents?

So, the question is now, for SharonW who wishes to insert citations for what are supposed to be sealed documents, (1) How did CNN obtained personal, confidential, and what are supposed to be sealed court documents? (2) the ethical implicationns of CNN publishing what may be illegally obtained personal, confisdential, and sealed documents?, and (2) Should Conservapedia be used as a platform to further the agendas of liberal, radical, and unethical mainstrream news organizations such as CNN to with the aim to cause personal, emotional, and professional harm to the reptations and career ambitions of people CNN does not like?

Stop the edit war!

Shouldn't we agree on something instead of keep reverting everything ? My question is why do we hide this gossip whil we keep the gossip on democrats pages ? --PhilipN 22:01, 22 January 2012 (EST)

(ec)Conservapedia articles tone, style, and content should be written with an American, conservative and/or Christian orientation or focus. If you're referring to debates on several other pages about the liberal concept of "open marriage", the Clinton marriage, as accurately cited from numerous sources, fits the definition of "open marriage" on both the sexual and non-sexual planes. In the Gingrich instance, ABC News correspondence, along with other liberal, mainstream, non--conservative and anti-conservative sources and journalists, clearly attack Gingrich's personal life to cause harm and personal suffering. These same journalists and news organizations in the cases the Clinton family and Obama family have repeated stated a candidates personal life, and that of their families and children, are off limits and out of bounds.

Because liberals. ScottDG 22:08, 22 January 2012 (EST)

Gingrich publicly acknowledges having affairs with his second and third wives. That's not gossip. There are many rumors, and have been for years, about other Gingrich adulterous affairs, but those weren't added to the article because those are gossip. The rumors about Gingrich serving divorce papers to the hospital to his "dying" wife" are also rumors and have not been added. What has been added has been cited, and in many cases have court records to back them up. --SharonW 22:12, 22 January 2012 (EST)

None of that material was reverted; the contrast with William Jefferson Clinton who publicly lied and misprisoned a felony, encouraging others to perjure themselves, has remained. Rob Smith 22:19, 22 January 2012 (EST)
