The "bloodlust" of right wing audiences

  I guess I don't have a problem with the press exploring the questions about Newt.
  I probably don't have a problem with the press exploring Romney's finances.
  To be honest, the moralizing about politics and people's personal lives gets old. We've all been sort of broken when it comes to morality after the whole Clinton debacle.
  It's not that character doesn't matter; it does. That's really not a question. 
  All the excuses Moveon.org tried to push when Clinton was exploiting a 20 something intern were phony and trumped up to excuse inexcusable behavior. 
  But the whole impeachment thing wasn't about sex. It was about lying under oath and it was about trying to force an innocent person, Linda Tripp, into testifying falsely.
  We also know that everyone has problems, suffers pain, makes mistakes, although some of Newt's mistakes are pretty awful.
  So liberals broke the sexually problematic candidacy with their guy Clinton. 
  Now they're trying to drudge up the whole sexual picadillo thing , using opposite arguments to their advantage and it's not working.
  It seems pretty naive for Newt to just proclaim, "I asked God for forgiveness, but the truth is that you reach a certain age when you realize that people commit some pretty awful deeds against one another and hide some pretty awful stuff.
  So back to the whole Romney's money/Newt's temperament issues.
  So why did the audience when Newt laid into John King? Why did the audience cheer in September when Rick Perry approved the death penalty when asked if he had trouble sleeping by the as always left wing so-called "moderator." 
  Why?
  IF THE MEDIA TREATED BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE THE SAME, WE WOULDN"T FEEL THIS IS SO UNFAIR, BIASED AND PARTISAN.
  If the media were doing its job, we'd be disgusted with them and their sex stories, but at least we'd know that they were doing their jobs, searching for truth and clarity, no matter what road we go down.
  But they're not doing their jobs.
  Thus the other side of the aisle is just going to have to get used to the "bloodlust" of right aisle audiences when it comes to excoriating the media and ripping on Obama.
