News reports are that Newton Leroy Gingrich, former congressman from Georgia and former speaker of the house legendary for the 1994 "Contract with America" that lead to the Republican cult (you may still call them "Party") election success in the mid 1990's and INFAMOUS for having several marriages ended in divorce including his cheating on his wives even while one wife was on her sick bed facing death, will be announcing (finally) his intent to run for President of the United States in 2012. He will make his formal announcement online via Facebook and Twitter
This announcement will come after years of speculation and for some fantasies that he would run for President. His political cult (you may still call them "Party") line that preaches about morals and "Family Values" just may embrace this complete hyprocrite on those very ideals and push for him to become a leader of this nation. If successful, Newt Gingrich will work to push any progress toward equality back into the 1950's.
I honestly suspect the timing of Newt Gingrich's upcoming announcement which comes after another Georgian scores very highly with conservatives after a debate from South Carolina. That man being Herman Cain, a former Atlanta talk radio host, one time candidate for US Senate and former CEO of Godfather's Pizza. I would not be surprised if Newt wants to take some of the spotlight away from Herman Cain, who himself announced a special public event for May 21st where he planned to make his own announcement.
We shall see what happens. But not much of any of this will be good for LGBT issues.
