3. Let me start by saying how much I dislike Gingrich

He's the worst of the entire Republican field. And that's counting everybody who has dropped out too.

But I will say that as I grew from a child into an adolescent, I started to learn how many adults have skeletons like this in their closets. Cheating, being the 'other man/woman' (which is almost as bad, BTW), failing to be there when those who care about you need you most, etc.

I've done all of it myself. I've left people who needed me and I've been left by people I thought I needed.

But honestly, my beef with Gingrich isn't really his personal life, though that's fodder that I can't resist sometimes. It's his political life, which is just as full of duplicity as his personal life, if not more so. While I can honestly say I haven't conducted my personal life as badly as Gingrich as his, I have to admit I'm not perfect. Alot of other people across the political spectrum who don't like Gingrich would probably have to admit the same.

What I can say is that I haven't conducted my professional life at all the way Gingrich has. And that's where we should focus our criticism, because in the end, that's why he shouldn't be president.
