I think going on TV and trashing your ex-husband in the days before a critical primary is bitter, bitter, bitter. But I&#8217;m a Christian. The private stuff I forgive and understand. Like many men, over the years, my libido has sometimes seemed to have a life of its own. I think we should all give people&#8217;s priavte consensual adult sex lives alone. But the public hypocrisy? The ranting about gay marriage destroying America? The lecturing of the poor on family structure? Not so much.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In my opinion, it is\u00a0foolish\u00a0to look for an\u00a0un-flawed\u00a0candidate. I contend that we never would have been able to elect an Abraham Lincoln (didn&#8217;t go to the right schools) or a Winston\u00a0Churchill\u00a0(drank too much) under the standards we set for our modern candidates. It&#8217;s why I was very please when 3 1\/2ish years ago, Republican Rudy Giuliani \u00a0had rival Barrack Obama&#8217;s back when he admitted he had used cocaine in college. I&#8217;m not saying we shouldn&#8217;t scrutinize a politicians personal live. All I&#8217;m saying is that we are not electing the person to be our moral guide, we are electing the guy (or gal in the future) to run the country in accordance with political philosophies and public policies we deem most\u00a0appropriate. I am definitely not a Newt support in any way, but, really, does the fact that Newt was (and may still be) a cad really going to affect how he governs now should he win? \u00a0The fact that he was having an\u00a0affair\u00a0at the time certainly didn&#8217;t stop him from riding Bill Clinton&#8217;s nose into the ground for doing the same thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Digg\",\"Reddit\",\"Bebo\",\"Delicious\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Irony%20Of%20The%20Week%21\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div><p>Gay sex advice\u00a0columnist\u00a0Dan Savage lecturing Newt Gingrich on morals!
