I have strived here on FR to convince conservatives to vote for Newt. But some refuse, calling Newt a “pig” due to adultery.

It is shameful how people refer to themselves as Christian yet have no understanding what that truly means. Many Christian saints led lives of corruption and debauchery before finally seeing ‘the light’.

" There's no question that at times of my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate.
And what I can tell you is that when I did things that were wrong, I wasn't trapped in situation ethics, I was doing things that were wrong, and yet, I was doing them. I found that I felt compelled to seek God's forgiveness.
Not God's understanding, but God's forgiveness. I do believe in a forgiving God. And I think most people, deep down in their hearts hope there's a forgiving God.
Somebody once said that when we're young, we seek justice, but as we get older, we seek mercy."

~Newt Gingrich
