“I agree with you. Newt Gingrich discussing exercising the restraint of one’s sexual proclivities is beyond ridiculous.”
Newt was asked the question about gays and he answered the question. Since he has a half sister who is gay, that’s likely why he was asked that question, due to the half sister stating she would not support him for president because he did not go along with her gay agenda.
If it bothers you Newt doesn’t go along with the gay agenda, you can vote for Romney as he does.
Newt was asked if homos chose to be homos. He entered into a discourse on choices, values and marriage.
"If it bothers you Newt doesn’t go along with the gay agenda, you can vote for Romney as he does."
I've financed Santorum and will vote for him, because among other things, he opposes the gay agenda and when the discussion enters traditional values, he stands on much firmer ground than Newt. Or Romney. If you like Newt, that's fine; he has a number of positions I'm fine with and can support. When it comes to family values, marriage, etc., he would do well to couch all his responses in terms of, "mistakes I have made and would want to spare others the anguish."
IMHO, Newt, probably because of his academic background, comes across as a lecturer. It's his strong suit in a number of areas. This isn't one of them.
