"Candor is undisciplined"

This morning on Face the Nation, Rep Steve King, Iowa,
suggested that Presidential Candidate Newt Gingrich has shown
a "lack of discipline" in bringing up "the Palestinian question", link, and questions about immigration, link, when he didn't have to.

Let's see;

• a candidate with candor; willing to lay issues on the table for open and honest discussion, willing to take whatever lumps that brings,
  or
• a candidate with discipline; willing to confine their remarks only to approved sound bites, never leaving the party line.

... hmm
