Newt just managed to spin the "open marriage" thing into a positive.

Quote from Max E. Pad:

If edwards was to run for democratic nominee in 2016, would you find it appropriate for the moderators in the debate to ask him if he had a small pecker because his ex-wife said he did?

Forgive me for giving you the benefit of the doubt. I just assumed you were an adult.
 
According to the ex-wife, she only came out with it because his campaign, in an attempt to marginalize the issue, was starting to make her look bad.

I believe that she has a right to be heard.
 
Quote from Epic:

Well, I would argue that just because something is a "he said, she said" situation, doesn't mean that it didn't happen. In those cases, the journalist is required to get both sides of the story, perform a background check on all parties involved, and give each party a chance to make their case.

I'm saying that in Newt's case, the benefit of the doubt goes to the ex-wife, because she isn't saying anything that would be out of character for Newt. The first response for most people who are familiar with his history would be, "I can see him doing that."

But they DIDN'T get both sides of the story. Epic, man, I think we are arguing over each other here. Max and I are not defending Newt, we are going after the media. Now according to Newt, he offered a defense to the media as well as other people to testify, that this never happened. He said the media ignored him and didn't show any interest in his side of the story. Is he right? I don't know. That's the whole point. The media showed one side, the scorned ex-wife.

Again, quoting the ex-wife. LOL.
 
Quote from Epic:

OK, if you simply saying that the media should be verifying facts, that is one thing. I thought you were suggesting that because this stuff happened 15 years ago, it was irrelevant. I'm suggesting that it is a necessary part of vetting him as a candidate. As much as people want to claim that his infidelity is old news, it is only old news to people who were around and following politics that long ago.

I've had numerous people ask me what all this baggage is that everyone talks about with Newt, because that is all that anyone will say. Most people don't want to go out and research, they depend on the news media to tell them. So if we say that the news media is not allowed to report on this topic, then who does. The candidates during the primary are crucified for bringing it up, because they are "making it personal". But the party has an obligation to air all the candidates' dirty laundry before the general. The Democrats won't be crucified for bringing this stuff up. I'm suggesting that this stuff would likely cause the GOP to lose the election because of the women voters. If that is the case, then someone must bring it up, and give those voters a chance to decide.

But they are not verifying facts! And do you even know what super pacs are? They are running them around the clock 24/7 and they are very very personal. Anyone who comes up to and says they don't know what Newt's baggage is must not be watching TV or listening to the radio because it's being played on every commercial on every station. LOL. Come on man. Enough already. Super pacs have no limits. They are going after Romney's Mormonism, Ron Paul's racist newsletters and Herman Cain's sexual advances on women. The voter is getting bombarded with this stuff. It's the media's job to discern fact from fiction! Not to engage in tabloid journalism.

Because i was curious, and i wanted to prove that this is front page national enquirer type shit, i typed "Front page national enquirer" into a google search and here is one of the first pictures that came up.

So would it be appropriate for a moderator in a democratic debate to ask John Edwards whether or not he beat his wife?

I think "Maggot" sums up Newt's view on the subject quite well.

And his opinion of the media is summed up in a 10 second clip
