So I guess according to Delay that as long as you're open about cheating on your wife you can set a "high moral tone." And I guess he was for Christ before he was against Christ because then he "returned to Christ." And they called Kerry a flip flopper. :rolleyes:

DeLay Explains How His Adultery Was Different Than Gingrich's
The New Yorker **|**Jeffrey Goldberg **|** May 29, 2007 01:12 PM


In the book, DeLay criticizes Gingrich for, among other things, conducting an affair with a Capitol Hill employee during the 1998 impeachment trial of Bill Clinton. (The woman later became Gingrich's third wife.) "Yes, I don't think that Newt could set a high moral standard, a high moral tone, during that moment," DeLay said. "You can't do that if you're keeping secrets about your own adulterous affairs." He added that the impeachment trial was another of his "proudest moments." The difference between his own adultery and Gingrich's, he said, "is that I was no longer committing adultery by that time, the impeachment trial. There's a big difference." He added, "Also, I had returned to Christ and repented my sins by that time."

    How people like this attain power is beyond me, Republican or Democrat. The people outside of Houston that voted this scumbag in for all of those years should all burn in hell with this asshole.

    Apparently for it... either way, I don't see him trying to take the moral high ground and somehow getting the support from the religious right that Gingrich or Delay get.
