Too many of we Americans dive too deeply into careers, so much so that we do not take greater care and cherish the marriage as we strive to succeed. Yes, it is grounded in a type of selfishness. It is also how we open ourselves to the temptations which inevitably arise as the sex drive occasionally out pushes the success drive. As the divorce stats in America support, this had caused a too large number of marriage s to fail. That is a summation of what divorce in America is about.
Newt Gingrich became too deeply committed to succeeding in his career and drift away from a troubled marriage ... how else to describe a marriage joined by a teacher and her younger student? Would that real American men and women would look carefully at the lessons here, and decide that saving their marriage is more important to the health of them and their children and spouse. But alas, this nation is not there.
Marriages fail for a variety of reasons. At the heart of failed marriage is ego. Newt has a huge ego. Frankly, that is one of the aspects which will suit him well in his determination to restore this nation from the brink of European socialism now looming large in our immediate future.
Newt's marriage particulars are much less dangerous than the state of the nation, so I have chosen to set aside that aspect of his life. You can choose to focus upon that if you need to. You have a sovereign vote. But if Newt is not the President in 2013, there is a real likelihood that you will lose that sovereign vote in the future the democrats have planned and the enemy fifth column media is abetting.
The democrat machine has offered up a trap meant to re-elect their socialist leadership --not just Obama, but more democrats in House and Senate. If they can get conservatives assassinating the Republican candidates over character issues common to all humankind, there will be no momentum in November 2012 and no competent candidate to oppose little barry socialist bassturd.
Yes, you are correct...and the code word will be "hypocrisy."
"It is a great advantage to a president, and a major source of safety to the country, for him to know that he is not a great man." -Calvin Coolidge
Perhaps you can revel in Newt's ego and set aside his unfaithfulness. I'm strange in that I think the character of the individual is evidenced by his (mis)deeds, not his ego or aspirations.

'Common to all humankind'? Speak for yourself. Newt assassinated own character. Twice. What makes you think he'd honor an oath to you, a stranger, having twice violated a sacred oath to his wife? Your ego is probably only shadowed by his...
