The gay
half-sister of Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich has criticised his
position on gay rights, saying she will support Barack Obama in the 2012
election.
Candace
Gingrich-Jones, a gay rights activist, said in an interview with MSNBC that she
and her older half-brother, the former speaker of the House of Representatives,
were "mutually respectful" but disagree on gay rights.
"He is
definitely on the wrong side of history when it comes to those issues,"
Gingrich-Jones said.
She said
she would "work really, really hard to make sure that President Obama is
re-elected next year no matter who the Republican candidate is".
Gingrich's
campaign nearly sputtered to a halt last summer, but he has recently risen to the top of the polls in the Republican contest to choose a nominee to face
Obama in the 2012 election.
Gingrich is
known for his socially conservative views and has said he opposes gay marriage.
Gingrich-Jones, a director at the Human Rights Campaign, a gay advocacy group,
said he did not attend her wedding.
A spokesman
for Gingrich was not immediately available for comment.

Who Controls America? Who Controls Wall Street? (72% are Jews)
Summary:
Of the
fifty-one (51) senior executives of the major Wall Street banks, trade
exchanges, and regulatory agencies, thirty-seven (37) are Jews or have Jewish
spouses. This is a numerical representation of 72%. Jews are approximately 2%
of the U.S. population.* Therefore Jews are over-represented among the senior
executives of the major Wall Street banks, trade exchanges, and regulatory
agencies by a factor of 36 times(3,600 percent).

"If an Arab and a Jew can look at one another and see the Akashic lineage and see the one family, there is hope. If they can see that their differences no longer require that they kill one another, then there is a beginning of a change in history. And that's what is happening now. All of humanity, no matter what the spiritual belief, has been guilty of falling into the historic trap of separating instead of unifying. Now it's starting to change. There's a shift happening."
