THOM!!! You are not being fair to the serial wife-recycler and slimy amphibian impersonator. You should stop interferring with Gingrich's martial process. Gingrich just wants to recycle his current wife and only knows how to dump a woman if she is sick and he can line up the next ex-Gingrich by boinking her while he is on the public dole.
"AH . . . FRANKLY", if you examine his intentions under any other light, you will be left wanting.

TEApublican feminism = Bare-foot, pregnant and beaten into a pre-Dickensian nightmare.

Why are Democrats shunned when the mess around on their wives, and Republicans get a pass? Easy Thom, Republicans have NO SHAME! So they don't care what is said about them, and are nearly impossible to embarass... remember these are the guys that openly take corporate cash, heck the shop for it. THEY HAVE NO SHAME.

Angela McGlowan starts out by saying she's "Taxed Enough Already" and then says she can't be required to answer a question of tax policy because she's not a public official? Despite the fact that she ran for public office?

Gee Thom are you sure we aren't a very socially mobile country, feels like I've gone from middle to lower class. Seems like a lot of my fellow citizens are in the same boat too.

Social Security isn't an entitlement because you've paid for it? How are you not "entitled" to what you've paid for?

From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
Gingrich's Tiffany's bill
Gingirch's Tiffany's bill might not be his wife's penchant for jewelry, maybe it's Gingrich buying peace offerings every time he gets caught having an affair.
