Gingrich V. Clinton? Not Even Close

J.J. Jackson* | March 11, 2007 

Uh oh, the left is finally going to try and claim that they‘ve got Newt Gingrich and that Newt is the same as Clinton who conservatives look at with disdain.

Newt Gingrich, the darling of the conservative right and architect of the Republicans’ 1990s “contract with America”, has spoken in depth about the extra-marital affair he conducted with a congressional assistant and confirmed that the relationship was ongoing at the time he forced the impeachment of President Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky affair.

“There were times I was praying and I felt I was doing things that were wrong but I was still doing them. I look back on periods of weakness that I was not proud of,” Mr Gingrich told the conservative Christian group Focus on the Family.

I’ve read a couple comments from moonbats about this so far spouting the same old stuff about how the “religious right” would be hypocritical to support Gingrich after they pursued Clinton to the ends of the Earth over “sex”.

So let’s get a few things straight. First Clinton perjured himself and incited others to commit perjury in order to prevent a United States Citizen from getting her day in court. You know, infringing upon that whole Constitutional “rights” thing.

Gingrich was also certainly a scum for cheating on his wife. But the one thing that the left never quite gets is that us Christians do believe in forgiveness when people sincerely ask for it. Personally for me the jury is still out on Gingrich.

The pursuit of Clinton was not because he had an affair. The pursuit of Clinton was because he worked to deny a woman her day in court. Personally Clinton can have all the sex with women other than Hillary that he wants. I don’t care. But when you start denying people their constitutional rights, call me crazy, but that’s when I start caring.
