I can't believe all the support for this man! He will never get my vote, ever! Morals matter, there is no way I want another president in the White House who can't keep his pecker in his pants. How many affairs and marriages has this guy had anyway? Doesn't it matter to anyone else here that he cheated on his wife when she was ill with Cancer? He takes all the credit for the wins in 1994, truth be told America was sick of all the bimbo eruptions and dem scandals. I remember how happy the media was when news of his affairs came out and how sick I felt that he could be such a freaking hypocrite. How many affairs and marriages has he had anyway? I had a hard time finding any info after a google search. This is Jim's wife BTW, feel free to flame away!

All right, woman. Quit dissin' Newt. Thought I wouldn't notice while I was at work, eh?

Morals matter but they are not the only thing that matters. Against a background of a history of flawed leaders and a current paucity of unflawed leaders Newt's indiscretions fade in importance. We can condemn how he got his whistle cleaned or his tack sharpened but right now he is the only person with ideas in what is supposed to be the party of ideas.

I wish we had another Reagan but we don't. In fact, the next Reagan will not look, sound or have the same ideas as Reagan. Whoever can apply the principles of the founders to the future and paint an optimistic picture of that future is our next Reagan.

There are more of Newt's indiscretions that we don't know about. That is unfortunate and a sign of our times. It would be a mistake to discard Newt's articulation for the sake of moralistic reprobation. The fate of the party and, more importantly, the direction of the Republic may be at stake.

But he wasn't a hypocrite as I recall. He never went after Clinton about Clinton's affairs. Infact, I don't remember hearing a peep from him about it and wondering why? If you know of something he did or said, hypocritically I would like to know.

Your post concerned me enough to do some checking. You are quite correct. Newt's been married three times. His latest was to Callista Bisek, a House aide 23 years younger than himself, and the subject of an affair he was having while still serving in the House and married to his second wife. This places Newt in the company of Gary Condit.

That's set my decision regarding Newt as president. I wouldn't vote for him. He could advise presidents, but lacks the integrity of leadership found in ordinary men to be president. Any man that will jeopardize his marriage and family will jeopardize the nation.
