One of the GOP's leading candidates for the nomination in 2012 explains why he committed adultery in each of his last two marriages while his wife's were critically ill. The devil did not make him do it. His love of country made him do it. He was working so hard for his country (not his political advancement) that it clouded his judgement. He asked God to forgive him for his mistakes made for a good reason ( and perhaps to vote for him in 2012).
Newt's confession and plea for forgiveness will appeal to many in the GOP. Its similar to what they do at revival meetings. I'm sure that Newt knew that his infidelity would come up sooner or later and that it was best to get it out of the way early. Patriots will understand that love of country has no bounds.
I am sometimes asked why I am so hard on the GOP. After all, there are two sides to every story and their side should have equal time. My answer from now on will be to ask whether I should give equal time to hypocrites like Newt who wrapped himself in family values before he found it necessary to use the flag as a disguise. In my view, Newt is the archetypical prototype of the modern republican.
