Are you asking how an ordained minister could be supporting someone you don't perceive as having "high standards, moral conscience..."?
Wow Guenevere, that was snarky towards xzins.
If I might add this: for all of your self righteousness in defense of, I guess, Santorum, I might say look for the plank in RS’ eye first. RS defends himself first and foremost in a petulant and almost childish way.
Newt, for his flaws, defends US first, defends CONSERVATISM first. Even last night, under the most personal of attacks, he made the point that the media is always attacking all Republicans in order to defend Obama. And he’s right.
Santorum, meanwhile, whines “me me me I I I me me me” — and it drips with off putting self righteousness.
