I said the "family values era!" You know...the era in which Republicans were constantly beating us all over the head about how pure they were and about how loyal they were to their wives and family? Yea...that Era. The one that lasted from about 1980-2000. Remember all the Murphy Brown nonsense? Remember Ralph Reed and Jerry Falwell? Christian Coalition ring a bell? Newt was a leading Republican figure during that era and was just as vocal about that crap as his cohorts.
Yea, i know you might wanna catch a bout of amnesia right now, but i'm trying to help your memory come back a little bit.
Newt's adultery is an issue BECAUSE he made other's adultery an issue.
Newt help set the standard by which he is judged. Which in turn reflects on his judgement in many obvious ways.
He's also a hypocrite because of all the "family values" BS.
I'm a socially moderate to socially moderately liberal Republican. I can't stand the "family values' stuff in the first place and think the party should focus almost entirely on economic issues, but I especially can't stand it when they set such poor examples yet tell others how to live their lives.

I absolutely feel that Newt is a scumbag and should not win the nomination.
Thank God there are some members of the GOP that still have a shred of sanity, decency and remain solidly grounded. There's hope for the country yet. Frankly, the South Carolina republican electorate just dropped a notch in the credibility scale as far as I'm concerned.

Newt won 40.4% of SC's vote which meant 59.6 % voted against him.

Is the title a broad brush? Does it apply to every Evangelical Republican? No. But I believe the broad brush applies to a whole lot of them.
In South Carolina, voters who said that religion matters a great deal to voted 9 percent for Mitt Romney and 43 percent for Gingrich. Among voters who said religion was not important, 42 percent voted for Romney. Let me repeat. 9 percent to 42 percent depending on the voter's religiosity. And the largest religious voting block in South Carolina is Evangelicals.
I heard a lot of excuses like "Newt has family values" and "Newt is more honest" to explain why they vote for him. Let's be honest -- it was code for Romney is a Mormon!!!!.
Newt got kicked out of Congress for ethics violations, and Newt his a serial cheater, who has treated his ex-wives like dirt. Yet now he is now the "values" candidate in this contest. On the radio today, I actually heard one voter as say he would rather vote for a serial adulterer than a Mormon. What a disgusting display of bigotry and hypocrisy due to blinding religious bias.
Newt makes Herman "Let me grope you" Cain look like the Pope and any family value voter who voted for him is a hypocrite.
