Speaking of “chopped liver”, that is the old news you keep trying to peddle to delivery as if it still matters. Cain has not had time to get past his troubles, if they are even true.

Newt’s old marital troubles have been sudsed out, in public, back in the 90’s for crying out loud. His own daughter has clarified the condition of the marriage you lament.

The press never covered the facts, but got rich on all the innuendo, and Newt didn’t howl about it, or try to explain.

No one cares. Newt is happy now and it shows.

I’m not peddling anything and have certainly not posted one word about whatever you are jabbering about.

I am simply pointed out that someone supporting Gingrich has no grounds for claiming that another candidate’s adulterous affair makes him unfit for the presidency.

Claiming, as you do, that one guy’s misconduct doesn’t matter because it’s “old news” — gee, that’s what the Clintons and moveon.org always say! — is plain hypocrisy. If you personally are okay with Gingrich’s multiple affairs, you should not cast stones at anyone else who stumbles similarly.

Moreover, please read again WHY I posted the article that pointed out that Gingrich lied about the affair he was having during Clinton’s impeachment. (In case you don’t know, Gingrich has had more than one affair and three marriages. Oh, and fun fact! He wrote a novel about a “sex kitten,” too!)

The poster, in a lame attempt to avoid obvious and blatant hypocrisy, had claimed there was a difference between what Gingrich had done and what Cain had possibly done, in that Gingrich didn’t lie about his affair.

Which, of course, is utterly inaccurate. Gingrich DID lie about his affair and it became yet another reason that Gingrich was forced out by his own party and, on the other side of the aisle, he became the most hated Speaker in history.

And if you think people have forgotten things that happened “way back in the 90’s” — good grief.
