But Newts support of Dede Scozzafava is eminently defensible, right kevao?
No, it is not. And I'm still pissed at Newt for that. But I know of no Newt supporters claiming he is flawless or pure. Not even Newt claims that.
My comment was directed at the "Santorum is the only pure conservative left" crowd. Scozzafava taints Newt; *but* Specter taints Santorum just as much. Medicare Part D taints Newt; *but* Santorum's support for it taints him just as much.
So, let's all just drop the whole who's "real" or "pure", and get on with who's electable.
