    Five major elections and we only hear this recently? With Bill, women were charging him and he was in court.

    How was Gingrich worse? What is worse than rape?

    We didn't hear about Bill until he ran for President. In fact, the similarities are amusing; both how those against the candidate and those supporting the candidate, especially how they are throwing the women under the bus and calling them names. In both cases the harm done to the victims is shoved over the bus in the name of political expediency.

    afaik Gingrich is a Catholic, or at least tries to practice Catholicism, and is not an Evangelical.

    I know, I know, Bill Clinton used to go to Catholic churches and take communion there, too.

    With Newt it was more about hypocrisy; him standing on a soapbox preaching family values and the sanctity of marriage against gay marriage but having been three times and an admitted adulterer.

    https://newrepublic.com/article/98097/newt-gingrich-scandal-hypocrisy
    Newt Gingrich is no stranger to hypocrisies. It’s just that his own self-righteousness often gets in the way of admitting to them: “There’s no question at times of my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate,” the family-values candidate once famously said about his multiple extra-marital affairs.

    You know, I see this from the legal view more than the political view or the emotional view. Have you read the book called Sell out?

    A Democrat attorney who represented the congress wrote a scalding book.

    Have you studied law? Ever notice there is no law against hypocrisy?

    Like a Greek tragedy, the fatal flaw emerges, then the fall into obscurity, but in modern times no deus ex machina or chorus to sing them out.

    I know there is a difference between law and justice. That said, I don't trust liars or hypocrites. When Bill Clinton claimed he didn't inhale, most Americans knew he was lying but voted for him anyway. Liars can't be trusted. Your previous reference to the book "Sellout' is proof of this. Newt was a hypocrite. While that's legal, and common in Washington, I'm not obligated to trust him and I didn't.

    You did. You failed to provide scriptural citations, let alone ones in context.

    You prove you quoted it right.

    Horrible spelling aside, Trump has never expressed an interest in genocide.

    Give every student a voucher to spend where ever they like. Public education is not free.

    to a born again Christian {sic} like him, there are no degrees of sin - according to the Bible that he claims to use in his worshiping all are equally bad

    the only problem is that in this society, usually only Democrats are held accountable

    Bush lied about imaginary WMD thereby causing the deaths of tens of thousands - yet he was reelected.

    Why did Shirer leave that out of his authoritative book? (Claim that Hitler went to church?)

    Bush could not lie. Bush reported what the Intelligence told him and used the Clinton administration evidence.

    Impeach is charges made. But the alleged Jury was fixed and refused to study the evidence. The republicans joined the Democrats in selling out America.

    Newt actually was made to account and paid about $300,000

    I remember reading Rise and Fall of the Third Reich in the late 1960s. I do not recall seeing any photos of Hitler with the Catholic clergymen though his alliance with them has been well established historically.

    You have posed a good question but that was up to Shirer and his editors to answer.
