A few things about the Repub primary and Newt I find so frustratingly ironic.
1) South Carolina is widely considered a "family values" state. They traditionally lean towards voting super conservative, religious, strong "family men". I find these qualities not necessarily representative of a good politician, but this is besides the point. The point is, how can 40% of the voters of South Carolina vote for a man who has married three times, and who also left his cancer-stricken wife for another woman. If South Carolinians are going to place so much emphasis on good ol' conservative, family values, then Newt is your WORST candidate.
2) Newt Gingrich and other super religious types believe that gay marriage infringes on the sanctity of marriage. However, hasn't Newt infringed upon the sanctity of marriage just as severely as any gay couple could with his recent marital behavior?
And for your information, I am not gay. I just hate public display of hypocrisy and ignorance, whatever the situation may entail.
