    As much as you don't want to admit it, the standard was set with Clinton, conservatives and Republicans lost the argument then and you won. How can you hold Gingrich to the standard you refused then and refuse now to hold Clinton to especially when the accusations against Gingrich come no where close to what Clinton did and his treatment of women including sexual assault and threatening their jobs if they spoke up, granting or offering favors if they would give him sexual favors?

    I don't see the interview as a "bomb" rather more so as a side show act. I could care less about a marriage that died out in a "he said, she said" 20 years ago. It's so irrelevant to me. I'm voting for a man to lead the nation, not Husband of the year, and to me, all this marriage bullcrap is meaningless.

    Way to lower your principles to meet the low mark of those you criticize. Hypocritical, childish, and moronic.

    But hey, at least you get to cheer for Newt.

    I don't answer for Democrats, just as I don't answer for Republicans. Bill Clinton is not on my list for possible office for anything. Neither is Gingrich. I don't disregard clear moral bankruptcy simply because someone pretends to support my ideals. You apparently do.

    Once again you refuse to face the issue that the 2 faced conservatives use Religion for their own political ends. Hence we have Gingrich supporting family values while trashing his ex- wives. And that's not the only ethical problems he has.

    And by the way forgving is not the same as trusting. Newt's entire past shows a violater of ethics and morals. And he continuse to bash his ex wife to this day. I might forgive an ex-con but that doesn't mean I want his as president.

    NEWT TRIUMPHS IN SOUTH CAROLINA

    Nice to see the bitter ex-wife's outburst had exactly the opposite effect to what she intended. An illustration of karma in action.

    You can apply all the ad hominem you want the fact remains as long as Clinton is the bar Gingrich has nothing to worry about. As I said, I and others lost the argument in 1995, but let me know when Gingrich lies before a federal grand jury, a federal court, has a subordinate employee escorted to his room where he then sexually assaults her, sexually assaults an employee in the Oval Office and denies an employe her raise and promotion in order to give it to someone who is granting him sexual favors, coaches his mistresses on how to lying to state and federal investigators and yes rapes a woman.

    Just let me know.

    You make no sense what argument???


    How can you hold Gingrich to the standard you refused then and refuse now to hold Clinton to especially when the accusations against Gingrich come no where close to what Clinton did and his treatment of women including sexual assault and threatening their jobs if they spoke up, granting or offering favors if they would give him sexual favors?

    Newt is a self proclaimed Womenizer. That's a fact. But he's had multiple partners when cheating on his wives. All the way back to his first wife. We have no idea just how much damage he's done to other women and families in the past. But once again the worst damage is this con routine that a trash can like newt gets a free pass because of what Clinton did or didn't do. This is a weak cowardly position. Only moral cowards would think that Clinton sets standards for them as a way to get off the hook. Gingrich is running for president not Clinton. Quit sucking on Clintons past to provide justification for Gingrich's lack of morals and ethics.

    You're making Clinton the bar, not me. You are putting your standards down to what you opposed because now it is politically expedient to do so.

    You want this to be about Clinton, but it is not. It is about the fact the Newt Gingrich has no moral character. If you don't care about that, that is on you, but it has nothing to do with Bill Clinton. It has to do with your own hypocrisy as evidenced by the fact that you admit to holding Clinton accountable yet refuse to hold Gingrich accountable now.

    Too bad he still won't beat Romney, and too bad neither one of them represent any kind of change from the corporate puppet we have in office now.

    as I thought. Suddenly all your moral pretensions disapear.

    But the American people will not replace Obama with disgrace like Newt. He violates ethical and moral principals. And he doesn't give a dam about anyone. As I've said. He is a self proclaimed violator of others. But he had to admit this. It was already a fact that he screwed around on his wives with multiple partners.

    Seriously, it's as if the caricature conservative Republican supporters actually don't have any kind of moral standard for their representatives aside from having an R. next to their name.

    It's pathetic.

    Them and ex-wife #2. It's been reported several times now that she had said in 1994 - "I could end his career w/one interview" - so 18 yrs later, she decided 'now's the time to make him wish he'd never dumped me'.......

    It's not that I'm a Gingrich fan, it's the sheer bitterness and vindictiveness from women like her, who conveniently forgets that she, herself, had been sleeping w/him, who was a married man w/2 kids and that was ok.

    The choice she made turned around and bit her right in the ass and she's never been able to accept it and move on w/her life.......

    No that bar was set by the left and the MSM and the Democrats and is maintained to this day. This is about Presidential candidates and their personal lives, you can't ignore Clinton, that is where the standard was set.

    Gingrich doesn't even come close.

    It's pathetic that Democrats still put Clinton on a pedestal and honor and praise him and then have the gall to try and attack Gingrich.

    It's pathetic that the Democrats still honor and praise Clinton and equally pathetic that the same caricature conservative Republicans that crucified Clinton on moral character are now hypocritically claiming it doesn't apply to Gingrich.

    Democrat hypocrisy doesn't negate Republican hypocrisy in my eyes.

    The bottom line is that BOTH parties are frauds. Gingrich is every bit the fraud Slick Willie is.

    When it comes to Gingrich the only moral standard the Republicans can adopt is that of Bill Clinton. In short the Republicans have no moral standards of their own. Their moral life blood comes from that of the Clinton administration.

    The Republicans are hollow and empty and adrift. They conveniently utilize the example of Bill Clinton when it's expedient but other than that they are a soulless Party.

    During a general election everything will be put on the table. Gingrich’s lack of morals will be fair game.

    Gingrich supported Clinton’s impeachment. And yet Clinton’s personal life was only put on trial because Monica Lewinsky had been recorded without her knowledge and permission.

    The gloves are off. Gingrich supported an invasion of privacy when it came to Bill Clinton’s Life.

    Gingrich’s personal life will now be put on trial in the court of public opinion.
    So why doesn't he man up instead of acting like a coward?

    Yes the Democrats won and made that the standard didn't they?

    I said back then it would come back to bite the Dems and the left and now they desperately try to run away from it just as you do. You can't even say that they sent him away after his term ended. He is STILL their hero, still the man up on the pedestal. When then announce that due to his moral failings he will no longer speak at their events or represent them, let me know.

    Not when Bill Clinton gets an honored role at the Democrat Convention.
    Which had nothing to do with the sex, he was impeached for committing felonies. He submitted and affirmed a false affidavit into a federal court and then lied about it in front of a grand jury. Was held in contempt of court for it.

    It got put on trial because he sexually molested a subordinate employee.
    You don't seem to understand what happened. Bill Clinton asked for the special prosecutor to be appointed not Gingrich. Reno selected Starr, not Gingrich. Starr was given evidence that the President was engaged in a felony. Starr confirmed it and turned it over to Reno. Reno assigned the invetigation to Starr over his objections, he thought another SP should handle it but since Starr was already investigating similar acts of witness tampering and perjury she assigned it to him. Starr did his investigation and as required by the law governing his office when he found criminal acts he turned it over to the Speaker of the House. That was Gingrich. As Speaker of the House who had just been handed evidence that the President had commit felonies and was going to be charged he initiated impeachment hearings, what he was suppose to just ignore it?

    And why should it matter...................Bill Clinton. Who did Gingrich sexually assault?

    Man up and what?

    Gee I don't know how many women Gingrich assaulted. You see I don't have a hidden pocket recorder to use on all his mistresses and girlfriends when I question them.

    But since we had an impeachment based soley on a secret recordingof Monica Lewinsky confessing to having consensual sex I'm sure this moral coward Gingrich will come around to the idea of having his privacy invaded too.

    Either way this will be an issue in the General Election and
    rightfully so. Along with Gingrich's ethics violations and total back flipping on the issues.

    "Based on Tripp's tapes, Starr obtained approval from Attorney General Janet Reno and the special court overseeing the Independent Counsel to expand Starr's investigation into the Clinton-Lewinsky relationship, looking for potential incidents of perjury, to investigate Lewinsky for perjury and suborning perjury as a witness in the lawsuit Paula Jones had brought against Clinton."[5]

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Tripp

    " January 1998, Tripp gave the surreptitiously recorded tapes to then-Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr in exchange for immunity from prosecution."

    The republicans are a dung heap of a party. Liars and hypocrites.

    Well we don't know how man Obama did either by that standard.

    No it was also based on the false affidavit he submitted, bu that it came from whatever evidence is a moot point. He lied in a federal court and a federal grand jury.

    Nope Reno assigned it to him on her own

    http://www.coffeeshoptimes.com/letter.html

    Yes which he and the FBI turned over to the Department of justice.

    When did Gingrich get charged with lying under oath and sexually assaulting someone?

    does OWS have to do with Gingrich being an unethical womanizer who trashes his ex-wives and then expects to be forgiven purely for politcal expedience?
