What is newt Gingrich criminal record?

As of October 2021, Newt Gingrich does not have a criminal record. He served as the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives from 1995 to 1999 and has been involved in politics for many years, but there is no public information indicating that he has been convicted of any criminal offenses.

Are the Republicans in favor of Newt Gingrich as the 2012 Republican Presidential candidate?

Newt Gingrich has very little support among Republican voters and certainly among Democrats and Independents. He is an intelligent politician, but he the bad habit of saying some of the most outlandish comments against people who he detests! He has also been around for over 3 decades and is old news. What most people remember about him was the government shutdown by him and the Republican-held House in 1995. He was Speaker of the House. In the latest polls, he is getting around 5% from Republican voters. I think he would be a great debater against Obama but he would also be on the defensive for all his extremist positions he has taken over the years! He would also have to convince Iowa and South Carolina primary voters next year, that he shares the same family values as they do, despite being married 3 times! His first wife was battling cancer and during that time he was secretly dating another woman who he eventually married! Iowa and SC Republicans are very Christian and conservative so I doubt he would do well in those states. The man is definitely not fit to serve as President and is such a hypocrite. He led the attack against Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky scandal in 1998, at the same time he was cheating on his wife!

Was Newt Gingrich kicked out of congress by his peers?

No, he was not. For intentionally lying to the Congressional Ethics Committee about the funding of two projects and whether they would violate federal law, Congress gave him the second most severe punishment they could, including a reprimand and a $300,000 fine. But with Congress controlled by Republicans for the first time in 40 years, not a single Republican would vote to expel him even though many of them later said that they felt he should have been expelled. However, he did lose his job as Speaker of the House, and subsequently, under pressure from his colleagues, he resigned from the House in 1999.

Is Newt Gingrich conservative?

Many people will debate on the answer to this question: Is Newt Gingrich a Conservative? The answer is a little hard to define. Although many of his thoughts and actions make it appear that he is a conservative-- for example, his opinions of abortion, illegal immigration, and education-- he might not be. In 2003, Gingrich stumped hard for President George W. Bush's prescription drug bill, which has added about $17 trillion to Medicare's unfunded legal responsibilities. "Every conservative member of Congress should vote for this Medicare bill," Newt urged. If you were to argue with this, I am not stopping you. This is merely just one example. Anyone can pass an idea off as their own when they go around talking about it so much.

"I'm the only conservative who realistically has a chance to be the nominee, so any vote for Santorum or Peree, in affect, is a vote to allow Romney to become the nomine," Gingrich claims in Florence, SC.

I hope this helped, it's truly up to you, though, to decide whether or not Newt is a conservative or not. Thank you!

How deep is Newt Gingrich in bed with the Moonie Cult?

The Washington Times, owned by Sun Myung Moon, is a conservative newspaper and Gingrich is a conservative politician, so of course they are going to share some views, but I haven't found any indication of improper relations between them. Actually, Moon is so far right he probably thinks Newt is a flaming liberal!

How big is newt gingrich?

His life sized standup, as it appears at the Hollywood Shoppe is 6 feet tall. They appear to at least aimed at accuracy: the Bush standup is 5'11" and Abe Lincoln is 6'3". Newt's standup weighs only 5 pounds, though, so it's obviously not as true to life as it could be.

Did Roman Catholic Church grant Newt Gingrich annulments of his previous marriages in return for monetary compensation?

I can not answer how many annulments Newt may have received. I am aware of one and that was to his second wife. When Newt married her, she was a divorcee. The Catholic Church does not recognize divorce so considered his marriage to her as being invalid. Newt is a recent convert, or convert in progress, to Catholicism. It is not a matter of public record of what his current status as a Catholic is at this time nor am I able to find any references to other annulments.
