So if one just says “I regret my sin and God has forgiven me” that’s it?

If Obama, Ted Kennedy, Barney Frank, John Edwards, Jimmy Carter—if they said that, then everything is fine?

Is saying it in public the key? How do we know Clinton or any of the rest haven’t asked for forgiveness from God? Where is it written that this is required? (I’m asking, I don’t know.)

Sorry, I’m an atheist, so I don’t care in the first place. In the second place, I have called Romney “evil” here, yet he is a man who has been with the same woman for years, stood by her when she got ill, brought up a family of (I have it from folks who’ve experienced this first-hand) people who genuinely help others and are decent, and Romney isn’t just attacked for his politics, which is of course fine, he’s bashed as a human being. (He’s also donated tons of money, both in and outside of his religion.)

I just don’t get it.

My way of looking at it is that Gingrich may be forgiven by his God, but where does it say that means those past sins are just gone like they never happened? Did his judgement suddenly get better?

We really want a thrice-married guy who cheated on his wives for LONG periods, who has cozied up with Global Warming kooks, who praised Romneycare...THIS is who we’re going to say is our conservative standard-bearer?

This is what happens when one drinks the Kool-Aid, to use the cliche. Suddenly, it doesn’t matter that Obama had only teaching and government experience in his past—because now OUR guy is the same. Suddenly, things have been very quiet about Fannie/Freddie around here—because OUR guy was involved. Suddenly, we don’t hear talk about Democrat philandering...

I don’t understand it. Flame away, but I can’t just un-learn everything I’ve learned about this guy because people are in a fever waiting for a debate with the guy who hugged John Kerry he debated him on Global Warming.
