If any of these guys can get us out of a deep recession and get this country back on the right track, they can have as many wives or dudes or whatever they want..........
If it were just his extramarital affairs, I'd agree with you. But it's more than that. Think back to when all this happened, and Clinton was having his way with Monica Lewinsky in the White House. Newt was one of Clinton's most vocal critics, totally hammering him for the immorality of what he was doing, while at that very same time, doing pretty much the same thing!

You can be a bad husband, and still be a good president. That's been proven over and over again. But IMHO, you cannot be the kind of hypocrite Newt Gingrich has proved he is, and still be a good POTUS.

"We are worried about the future here, not the past." Nice catch phrase, but if you really think about this statement, it's nonsense. How else are we to determine how a person is going to perform in the future, if not by past performance? If we're dismissing the past, why not just reelect Obama?
