Gingrich supporters, are hypocrisy and infidelity now acceptable parts of "family values"?

Shouldn't one running for the highest office in America practice what they preach?

Update:

"Why condemn Gingrich?" - Ahm, maybe because HE CONDEMNED Clinton among others for the same thing? Ya think?

    To me, it's more about the hypocrisy. First, he was cheating on his wife who had cancer at the same time he was impeaching Clinton. 2nd, those damn religious fanatics have more of an obligation to adhere to their freaky azz rules of morality because they are so judmental of others.

    In 2004 McCain made distinctive statements indicating that the conflict in Iraq may be over straight away and be gained actually. In 2007 McCain says some thing to the theory he consistently pronounced this would not be an actually gained combat. And that anybody who concept in any different case replace into being silly. it incredibly is no longer only the Iraq conflict he has been doing this with. I worry what's going to ensue if he actual partakes in talks with a distant places chief. He replace into plenty sharper in 2000. McCain makes those opposite statements for all time appropriate now. In 2000 i replace into delicate with him. i do no longer know why the alternative statements are appearing this many times with him. What may be worse, if it incredibly is planned, or unintended? to boot i'm a 30 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous male with a heart situation that no insurance organisation might insure. i desire extra effective than only emergency care to stay to tell the story. McCain can provide no longer something to me. the two democrat plans are plausible.

    Infidelity has been part of this country since there was a country.

    The presidents, the senators, the governors, the mayors, the city council, the police chief, the garbage collectors....I bet I can find one in every city on this planet that is getting some on the side.

    It takes either a naive fool, or a disingenuous harpy to manifest some outrage about marital

    infidelity at this point in history.

    I find it far more telling that Newt was censured by his own party than what he did with personal sex life. If I was going to evaluate him on the sewing circle standard, I might have to conclude that he may well be the next JFK.

    Obama was a drug dealer and put "Rules of Engagement" into effect that have cost the lives of our troops. Clinton took campaign cash from the Chinese and gave them our missile guidance system secrets. Where is the outrage there. Clinton engaged in less then stellar family values in the Oval Office. The timing is a little suspect don't you think. If Jesus Christ was running you would complain that he is too religious. You want someone perfect, you run.

    Additional: Gingrich did not condemn Clinton for his dalliances. He was impeached for perjury in the Paula Jones sexual harassment lawsuit. You are grossly under informed. Read "Sellout" by David Schippers. He is the far left Chicago Liberal lawyer that represented the House Managers in the Impeachment. Newt and Lott saved Clinton. The House Managers did not want to Impeach for perjury. They wanted to Impeach Clinton and Gore both for immigration law felonies in a scam to register illegal aliens as Democrats that Gore came up with. The evidence is all documented in his book. There was a secure evidence room that every member of Congress could have gone in to and reviewed the evidence, Only one did. Mary Bono Mack of Ca. Newt saved Clinton's butt. That is why I won't vote for him. He is an insider D.C. hack

    Yes he is! A huge fat doggish looking HYPOCRITE! I'm watching 'Nightline' now, and just saw the footage of fatso womanizer jumping all over the moderator for questioning him. And all his CHEATING condoning supporters of his in the audience clapping and screaming for the pig pfft! What a f*ked up CIRCUS! If it was switched around and if Obama was the one running for office, and he was found to be cheating on his wife, eventhough the GOPers hate that Black woman's guts just to hate her, ... they would STILL be on this board calling Obama all kind of "cheater, womanizer" and every other name in the book, and saying stuff like "if he cheat on his wife, he will cheat on the country blah blah blah!" But NOW that's it's one of THEIRS in the spotlight and hotseat, it's OK with the HYPOCRITES pfft! They are totally disgusting ! I just found out that he left BOTH wives once they got SICK! The first one had cancer, and the second one was diagnosed with MS. I knew about the first one and how he left her at a crucial time like that, but I did not know about the second wife having MS when he left her. That pig is scum! "Christian" my @ss pfft.

    Newt is an arrogant man and poster boy for hypocrisy! It is disgusting that he runs around talking about family values. He has no character and no honor. If he would leave the mother of his children while she is recovering from cancer, how could he possibly care about the people of this country and do the right thing!? Newt Gingrich cares about Newt Gingrich and feeding his giant ego!!

    I'm not a Gingrich supporter but I don't see what the big deal is. Take a look at the Kennedy's. They would screw anything with a pulse. But yet there are people out there that just think they are great.

    The Constitutional Oath of Office binds them -- as it did O'Bummer, O'Bushma and Clint'yewinski -- to define and avoid generally unlikeable behavior.

    I don't like O'Bombrich any more than Gingramma. I don't like raw sewage, either, but, then, I won't be voting for it.

    Unfortunately we would have had very few presidents if it was true including if not especially the one we have now. Up to this point in history very few have practiced what they preached. They only needed enough people for the popular voters and then enough electoral voters to believe them to get elected.

    I'm not a Gingrich supporter but I don't judge a politician based on what he does with his penis. I'm more concerned with how well they can do the job. I don't care if he "sexts".. I don't care if he cheats on his wife.. I don't care what his "family values" are like. It's bloody ridiculous. People are more concerned with the guy's sex life and marriage then they are with his record in Congress. Grow up people!
