You just can't help yourself in your sanctimoniousness. Is Newt's womanizing ongoing or well aired and in the past? Are there accusers of rape, sexual assault and the like against him? Has he lied under oath and obstructed justice? Let's face it - anyone who tries to compare Newt's case with Clinton's is a moron of ground-thumping proportions.
Newt's marital indiscretions were a decade and a half age. Despite her being his third wife, he does appear, by all evidences, to be as happily and monogamously married as the other three candidates, including good Mormon Mitt Romney.
Newt has said he repented of his past sins. From everything we can see, this appears to be genuine, so I'm not sure why it's still an issue, other than the fact that it serves as a cheap, sleaze attack campaign tactic for supporters of other candidates.

There you go, selective forgiveness....
How about someone like John Edwards ?
Suppose for example there was another GOP candidate in this race who was Newt's rival who also had extramarital affairs, but, this person also repented of it, and went on and had a healthy successful marriage ? would this person get the same treatment as Newt is getting and be forgiven ? or would the Newt supporters trash this person because they are not THEIR guy in this race ?
You can't have it both ways.
