I don’t care about his divorces. I do care about his RINOness
....when he spoke on Dobson's radio show in 2007, Gingrich refused to say that he was actually repentant. The evangelical leader repeatedly pressed him on that point: "When I hear you talk about this dark side of your life...you didn't mention repentance. Do you understand that word repentance?"
-- from the thread Newt and Evangelicals: Not a Match Made in Heaven
"Mrs. Gingrich #2 was dumped after her husband had carried on an extramarital affair with a fetching, blond congressional staffer named Callista Bisek, who went on to become the present Mrs. Gingrich #3. This Family Values paradigm was complicated by the fact that whilst Mr. Gingrich was filibustering Ms. Bisek over the Speaker’s desk, he was simultaneously leading the impeachment charge against a naughty president of the United States....The much-married Newt Gingrich converts to Catholicism this weekend—and I’d pay a year’s salary to have been a bug on the wall during his religious instruction."Related thread:

The spendthrift, big-government, global-warming supporting side of him is why I’ll not be voting for him. Oh, that and the lobbying against conservatives on behalf of Fannie Mae. And the whole “compassionate conservatism” idiocy.
He’s a consummate politician in a time when talk is cheap. No thanks.
Right. Like this demo is going to stay home or vote for Obama instead.
This country has to first back away from socialism before we can go back to chosing leaders based on faith and social issues.
I wish it was not this way, but backing away from socialism; from either Obama or another RINO is much more important.
AMAZING GRACE, available to ALL.
If a conservative having been divorced is such a problem for evangelicals, they better stop listening to Rush Limbaugh, he’s on marriage #4 and Ronald Reagan was divorced as well. While, it certainly would be nice if a candidate married his high school sweetheart and was faithful his entire life, for me at least, a divorce isn’t a deal breaker. I voting for the best leader, not husband of the year...
IMHO, the GOP needs a teacher to educate the American people how corrupt our government has become.
Newt could be that man.
SEIU infiltration into local governments.
Acorn infiltration into local elections.
Stock market manipulation by elected officials.
Green movement being used as a slush fund for the DNC.
Communist party gaining power within the DNC.
Again IMHO, these things are far more important than if Newt is a Christian or how many times he’s been divorced.
I speak ONLY for this Evangelical. I hope he is sincere. I hope he is forgiven. Heaven knows I am a nothing in the eyes of God and not about to weigh in on his eternal judgment. But ...
Will I vote for him? Never, ever.
Good enough for me, Newt. I am also a humble Christian. Can’t STAND the hypocritical types who are the first to throw stones.
Sometimes those who have strayed the most can end up with the most powerful Christian testimonies. It’s not our place to judge.
Let me see if I follow the logic... we should dump Perry because we dissagree with him on one issue, and we should dump Cain because a few liberals accused him of being flirtatous.
And we should choose someone we dissagree with on lots of issues, who has a admitted history of infildelity and is on her 3rd wife...
got it.
lol
Forgiveness is between him and the lord. Trust is another matter, he cheated on his wives. Therefore, I don’t trust him.
What’s an ‘Evangelical’ ?
I never heard of that term before it was made up in the 2000s or so. Sounds like Evangelical means Christian.
Who will cast the first stone?
RE: What’s an ‘Evangelical’ ?
As per Wikipedia...
Evangelicalism is a Protestant Christian movement which began in Great Britain in the 1730’s and gained popularity in the United States during the series of Great Awakenings of the 18th and 19th century.
Its key commitments are:
* The need for personal conversion and repentance (or being “born again”);
* A high regard for biblical authority;
* An emphasis on teachings that proclaim the saving death and resurrection of the Son of God, Jesus Christ;
* Actively expressing and sharing the gospel.
These four distinctive aspects conversionism, biblicism, crucicentrism, and evangelism together form a quadrilateral of priorities that is the basis of Evangelicalism.
evangelical comes straight from the Biblical greek.
it was not “made up” recently.
He found that women are especially wary of Gingrich.
They’re right. They are so much better off with a guy who supports Sharia supporting Muslim countries and organizations in the U.S. as President.
(Saracsm)
Same.
But Newt is also a serial adulterer. This man has the character of Bill Clinton. Not someone I would like to have back in the White house.
