No, you are not going to misuse my statement. I used the precise phrase that Gingrich stated. One can intrepret it anyway they wish. However, he did not say, I loved my country so much that I cheated on my wife, that is how the msm intrepreted the statement and I only wanted to make that particuliar point out. For Clinton, they excused him because he was unsure what “is” is. Yet, they take a potentially harmless statement and turn it all around.
Again, this is what Gingrich said, “There’s no question at times of my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate,”

I’m not misusing anybody’s statement. I’m simply pointing out the clinical facts behind what Newt said. Let’s look at it:
“partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country” so there he is putting love of country as the motivator for the rest of the sentence
“that I worked too hard” next issue is hard work, hard work that only happened because of his love of country
“and things happened in my life that were not appropriate.” those not appropriate things being doinking women not his wife.

It’s right there in his own words. The cause is at the beginning of the sentence, the effect is at the ends with a side trip through hard work. He cheated on his wife because he loved his country so much. That is what the words he used mean. Period. Any other interpretation is misusing his statement.
