I do not give a damn about his personal life past. What I do care about is what he will do with the country from here on out.

I don’t care what Cain did, Newt did, Perry did, Bachmann did, Romney did, Santorum or his wife did, in their past personal life.

Screw you Politico.

The problem is that trying to separate one's actions in personal and political matters is a false dichotomy. One's character is shown when a choice costs you something. The relationship between a husband and wife is one of the most intimate of all human relationships. Mr. Gingrich's serial adultery shows he is willing to toss his closest human relationship under the bus when it serves his interest. Just what gives you confidence that he will put your interests and mine and those of our neighbors at least on par with his own if there is a time to choose as president? I used to have great respect for Mr. Gingrich but he has shown me that he will say/do anything to serve his own interests. I have no confidence in his integrity. You are, of course, free to disagree. My point is that some of us believe we have good reason to want a principled conservative other than Mr. Gingrich.
