Let me make sure I've got this straight: You'd rather have an adulterer who is "man enough" to admit that he is scum, and stay that way, rather than a guy who admits it and asks for forgiveness.
I guess you've never had to ask God for mercy. I pray that you will always be perfect and never have to.
I think the thing I fear most about the radical right is their absolute conviction that their point of view is the only possible correct one and that their own holiness exceeds that of anyone else.
I honestly thought you were joking. I hope Newt has made his peace with the Lord, I like the guy a lot. I don't think he'd have a prayer in the election though - his negatives are at least as high as Hillary. I was never a believer in loud public confessions of any sort. The thief on the cross didn't call a press conference or go on a nationwide to confess. He made his peace directly with Christ. Anyone who makes a loud public confession always deserves a bit of skepticism, particularly when he stands to gain by it.
