I actually read this article as a positive for Gingrich. Carr is essentially saying that Gingrich is only guilty of being a philanderer while Republican. Clinton made it de rigeur to be an adulterer, and the public and media did little more than snicker at the events that transpired.
Meanwhile Newt, who does not hide the fact that he’s a serial philanderer, is getting pummeled by the media for essentially the same thing that both Clinton AND Edwards have done with little fanfare.
Seems to me that the media is desperate to discredit most of the Republican field, but the only real scandalous stuff they can dig up on Newt is based around sex while Romney has some serious financial questions to answer.
Newt doesn’t strike me as sanctimonious. He’s out there, warts and all, and he’s not preaching his faith or otherwise trying to make people think what he’s done is socially or religiously acceptable.
We need to get past all of this BS and look at the content of these candidate’s platforms. Newt will destroy Obama on every front, and the MSM will continue the “But he had affairs while he was married!” whining tripe. As long as Gingrich continues to call them out on their BS, like he did last night, the voting public will take note and say, “Damn, this guy’s not afraid to call a spade a spade.” That’s what we need in the WH right now.
Newt isn’t hiding his past; everything negative about him is too well known.
What you’re not being told can be found at #20. The MSM won’t tell you the whole truth because then you will admire him for turning his life around.
