Gingrich Pledges To ‘Defend’ Marriage →
When he gets home at night, he must just laugh and laugh. Because he is awful.
Gingrich sent a letter to the group on Monday, in which … He did indeed say: “I also pledge to uphold the institution of marriage through personal fidelity to my spouse and respect for the marital bonds of others.”
Also, it’s important to remember… for some reason women keep agreeing to have...
