Newt Gingrich had as many tax liens as ex-wives.

Some people collect baseball cards. I collect music records. But Newton Leroy Gingrich of Georgia collects a list of ex-wives and tax liens.


Companies run by Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich have faced overdue tax bills in four states worth more than $6,000, according to records reviewed by The Associated Press.

If Newt Gingrich listened to the blues

Just wondering if 2012 Presidential Candidate and lifetime serial adulterer Newton Leroy Gingrich of Georgia enjoyed some down home blues music and old school R&B what songs could we play for him.

How about some Denise LaSalle?


Or some ZZ Hill "Cheating in the Next Room", the one next to his dying wife.


I also wonder if any of Newt Gingrich's former wives or girlfriends ever had the conversation that Shirley Brown had with Barbara Mason.




The Pride and Soul Blog could offer many more classic soul and blues songs that accurately describe the moral and marital reality of one Newton Leroy Gingrich of Georgia, Presidential candidate for 2012. But there are so many songs left for future posts. So closing out this with a classic soul song that generally expresses that of most politicians.

Dedicated to you Newt, Sly Slick and Wicked! Take your pick.

A contract out on America?

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.

If Peaches turned into prunes...A political rant.

If the peaches turn into prunes in the Peach State, it might have something to do with a winking bimbo grandmother from Alaska coming for a visit to stump for one of the political parasites vying to run this state.

We should be very fearful if the former Govenor bimbo from Alaska should run to become a President of The United States of America.

(sorry guys for the pun, but you did name your group President.......etc.)


Someone protect the peaches! Sarah Palin is coming to Georgia to campaign for Karen Handel, one of two republicans running for Governor of Georgia. The state's runoff election is tomorrow August 10th. Nathan Deal is the other Republican candidate in the runoff. He has fellow hyprocrite homophobes Mike Huckabee and Newt Gingrich campaigning for him. Sadly one of the Republicans will face the Democratic former Governor hyprocrite homophobe Roy Barnes in the November General Election for Governor. Even more sad is that one of these three political parasites will be the next Georgia Governor.

If there is a hell below, Georgia is surely going to go.

And Curtis Mayfield was a Georgia resident late in his life. Something tells me he wouldn't appreciate this state's political climate either.

(only listen to this Curtis Mayfield classic if you aren't offended easily)

After the Prop 8 ruling, How strong is YOUR marriage?

The day after California's proposition 8 was ruled unconstitutional, those who oppose same-sex marriages are expressing their dismay and some with the usual comments about the "sanctity of marriage" between one man and one woman.

There are many couples who's relationships grow stronger every day. Some of those couples I know are GAY and LESBIAN couples who have been together for 2 years, 17 years, 26 years, 28 years, 40 years! But some MARRIED one man, one woman couples feel threatened because of the Prop 8 ruling. Threatened by what, the gay couple across the street? If they got married THAT would pose a threat to your marriage? Perhaps your "marriage" isn't as strong as you might think.

How strong was Rush Limbaugh's 4 marriages? How strong was one of Newt Gingrich's marriages? Larry King's? Elizabeth Taylor, Britney Spears, Michael Jackson? How strong were their marriages? Were any of them as strong as the 60 years my grandparents had til death did they part? Or the 34 years of one couple I know who are dismayed that their gay son cannot enjoy the same privilege?

Perhaps the "sanctity of marriage" isn't as strong as you might think.

"We're Getting Stronger" by Loleatta Holloway (1976), a song that may be known more to GAY couples as many are still fans of Disco music and its performers. And as their relationships grow stronger as they stay together, its long overdue for those relationships to be treated equally.
