Gingrich, why????

Apparently, as long as someone confesses to having an affair, the religious right will quit ranting about their "family values," and rally right back around them. James Dobson, of Focus on the Family infamy, recently helped counsel Newt Gingrich through an admission that, while he was persecuting Bill Clinton for his affair with Monica Lewinsky, he was engaging in an affair of his very own. It apparently slipped by Gingrich, ever one to stand up for the family values that evangelicals hold dear, such as: the inborn hatred of homosexuals, the inborn hatred of minorities, and the inborn desire to take away women's rights, that affairs destroy marriages, and therefore families. However, because he still believes in the hatred of homosexuals and minorities, the evangelicals are more than willing to stand by him. Jesus decried hypocrites and liars; his supposed followers stand by Gingrich, who says that he is not a hypocrite for criticizing Clinton, thereby proving himself a liar. This is not the first time in recent news that supporters of "family values" have shown their true colors; Ted Haggard, a prominent pastor, then-president of the National Association of Evangelicals, and well-documented hatemonger, was recently outed by the man he had a three-year affair with and also, charmingly, bought methamphetamines from. This is the man who, allegedly, had weekly telephone conferences withe the president, and directed the political future of evangelism in America. Now, that future could fall to Newt Gingrich, who is supposedly clearing the air for a 2008 presidential run. The message to America: "Caveat emptor."
