Because he went after Clinton for doing the same thing. Its funny how Republicans think if a politician has an R next to their name, they can misbehave all they want. Clinton was wrong, and so is Gingrich.
You can try and rewrite history if you want.
Bill Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives on charges of Perjury and Obstruction of Justice.
The hypocrisy of him carrying on a six year extramarital affair while leading the charge against Clinton for his affair matters to me. That's six years of lying and living a double life.
Give us the details of Newt, "leading the charge against Clinton for his affair".
As I re-call Janet Reno, Attorney General under Bill Clinton, AUTHORIZED every action that Ken Starr undertook.
Most people here weren't old enough to vote back then, but there is definite hypocrisy. Liberals back in the '90s were saying Clinton's personal life didn't matter to how he was leading the country, something I happen to agree with.
If they weren't old enough to vote for Clinton, they obviously weren't born yet when JFK put up his nice little family man facade while he was screwing Marilyn Monroe and a bevy of Hollywood starlets. Having a brother-in-law (Peter Lawford) who was a movie star himself came in handy.
It's important because it provides the voters a picture of Newt's character. NOw its it does not provide the entire picture but it does give us a glimpse of his character.
Whether or not you would vote for him because of this one character flaw is something you have to decide.
I wouldn't expect a Dem to vote for Newt regardless of this flaw but I would expect them to point it out to the Independants... That's politics.. surely this is no surprise.
Certainly there are character issues, but the main reason the topic is out there is it is a very divisive (polarizing) topic that can be discussed endlessly, but amts to nothing. This is quite common in the MCM. I mean they just made it "legal" for the military to engage in sex w/ animals...don't see much discussion about that do you?
Why does it even matter if Gingrich has been married several times and has cheated on his wife. That has nothing to do with how he will lead the country! Every person in this world has a past and everybody has done things that are shameful and that they regret. Cut Gingrich a break!
Gingrich's past contains many instances where he's shown a lack of character and integrity. His warped self-impage is larger than the size to which his body has grown.

Yes, and back then REPUBLICANS like NEWT were saying it DID matter....
If Newt Gingritch represents core values in the United States, this is a sad commentary on our social system. His current wife is the classic "trophy" wife, she looks like she has had so much plastic surgery and Botox her face will shatter if she does not have a phony smile.
While I don't think ex wives are always the best source of information about a person, if anyone wanted to hear my opinion about my ex, it would be truthful, and not flattering.

So obviously you approve of Kennedy's affairs....
What having a brother-in-law actor has to do with anything ...????Wha!??? WHAT!???
BTW, Kennedy's affairs were made public A F T E R
AFTER
AFTER,
as in NOT BEFORE,
he was elected.
Repugs are willing to vote for the SAME THING KNOWING ABOUT IT IN ADVANCE.
They can deny it but they can't hide it
