You're forgetting that conservatives embrace moral standards. That DOES NOT negate anything. And it is hypocrisy. I mean, Newt couldn't control himself as Speaker and knowing the media scrutiny and how unpopular he already was?!
You know...all of the judgemental attitudes are hypocritical.
Let's look at Bible heroes and I do mean that they were heroes, though flawed human beings.
David: Adulterer and Murderer
Peter: Lied three times, after pledging his undying devotion the previous day.
Moses: Murderer
I could go on...but these men were not just Biblical heroes, they were LEADERS, annointed by God.
If you think that because Newt had a moral failing that he is unfit to lead...you better take another look at the Bible.
