You might want to give that story another read brother. David’s life was forever altered for the worse after his affair.
He was never again the same leader, never again wholly trusted, and even his own children turned against him.
Adultery is as grave a sin as any and wholly disqualifies a man for any and all leadership positions. Don’t believe me? Then believe the Apostle Paul.
Santorum hasn’t adopted the Gorebull Warming myth, cozied up to LIEberal commies, or been a lobbyist leech like Newt has. Newt wants to campaign on his record from two decades ago and have us overlook what he’s done since.

Political Chameleon Newt Gingrich Has a History of Working with Democrats

Right to Life -
Asked in an interview on the CBS News program “Face the Nation,” whether he agreed with Republicans who oppose Federal abortion payments in cases of rape or incest or to protect the life of a mother, Mr. Gingrich said: “No. First of all, I think you should have funding in the case of rape or incest or life of the mother, which is the first step.”

Self Defense -
“In 1996, Newt Gingrich turned his back on guns and voted for the anti-gun Brady Campaign’s Lautenberg Gun Ban, which strips the Second Amendment rights of citizens involved in misdemeanor domestic violence charges or temporary protection orders –- in some cases for actions as minor as spanking a child or grabbing a spouse’s wrist.(1)”
It wasn’t ridiculous. He was doing what too many candidates and others neglect to do: dividing with a scalpel instead of going in one way or the other with a sledgehammer and saying “Free market is all good” or “Free market is all bad.” Some of the things that happened on Wall Street were not so noble, but to say that is not to say OWS is right.
I wish people would just pay attention. Or possibly just refuse to see things in oversimplified terms when they are not that simple in reality.
Nevertheless, it MIGHT be too late for him, just because people are NOT paying attention.
Most people in our camp say it was a mistake to pull the troops out of Iraq. So why is Perry wrong to say we should send them back in?
God forgave him. That is all that matters.
Nope. Our actions do matter. Our actions do have consequences.
So, when this gets down to Romney and Gingrich, who will you vote for? Or are you one of those who will cede the office of President to Obama?
Hey, they've all got warts. Newt's been famously off the reservation a few times, but I think it's hilarious that you want to ignore Gingrich's record, even though he and Santorum served at the same time.
Could it be, you don't want to compare their records, because your guy's is so rotten?
Newt’s “off-the-reservation” moments are too numerous and too recent. Santorum has been consistent in his pro-life, pro-marriage, pro-second amendment stance....Newt has been all over the map trying to appeal to “moderates” and JACKASSES. His new line of attack isn’t gaining traction and only hurts the cause....I’d support Perry before jumping on the Newt bandwagon - he needs a sharp turn to the right to get a boost where Rick just needs to stick to his message.
Rick gave an interview to S.E. Cupp recently that shows he’s the one who’s conservative message is what can win the day...

People, please take note; at this point it’s pointless to obsess on Perry dropping out or whatever he does...notice the true, significant numerical split is between Gingrich and Santorum. They are almost evenly splitting it. Perry is barely registering.
Now he is making some noise, getting his points out, participating in the free for all, yes, but in actual votes...according to polls and so far in Iowa and NH, he’s so far down the list he isn’t impacting it votewise.
If he actually finishes very low in SC, would people STILL obsess that he should get out and throw his support to another? Why? What difference would that make, until he pulls enough to become a significant factor??
Also, you cannot make Perry supporters choose either your chosen candidate or choose the one Perry might endorse. These people are not going to follow anyone’s dictates, even his. Nor, if Perry got out, could he make Santorum or Newt get out.
Right now he’s making his points and they are points that need to be made. In most instances they are in the right direction on the right agenda.
And he doesn’t back down, if you’ll notice.
I pray he gets going in SC and FL, but if not, one thing he can always say is, people and businesses, come to Texas. I tried to get the Texas Way to become America’s way, but I was passed over in favor of others. But Texas is still here and I’m still here, ya’ll come on down.
Rick Perry can’t be bought.
No kidding.
Nor intimidated nor ganged up on to their desired effect.
Nor “poll cited” into acquiesence.
He goes on as HE is, not as somebody he’s demanded to be, or as somebody he’s not.
So you’re one of those people who, regardless of conviction, feel some absolute need to be associated with the “winner,” no matter how corrupt.
___________________________________
No, not at all, but I am a realist. If I wanted to be associated with the winner up to now, I would be supporting Mittens. I’m voting for Newt, unless he drops out before Florida. If he does drop out, I will vote for Santorum, if he drops out, Perry, if he drops out that leaves Hunstman, Paul and Romney and it then becomes a question of which one of those can beat the Kenyan Marxist or just doing a simple eeny meeny miny mo.
Santorum can’t win Florida. You can wish it all you want, it’s not going to happen. Too many damn snowbird Republicans that aren’t particularly socially conservative. It is what it is and as much as you wish it, it’s not going to happen, not in Florida. Just sit back and watch, we will talk after the FL primary. Bookmark this, lets see how Santorum does here. Florida is going be Newt or Mitty.
No way.
Venture Capitalists are out to do one thing - make money. If that means taking a bad company down and selling the assets or taking a bad company and plowing more money into it, that’s what they do.
It’s easy to say it’s inhumane or anti-American but the concept of investing is to make a return on investment, however that may be. In reality, it’s no different from a large company issuing layoffs, if financials deem that divisions or departments need to be cut to maintain profitablity, well that gets done every day and is in the same vain.
What amazes me is that when Wall Street is humming and everyone is making money, no one seems to care how so long as the ATMs keep spitting out money. But even in the good times, VC firms are active and doing the same thing they would do during the downturns.
Capitalism is a blood sport, not a sandbox.
Go after Mitt on his MA record, there’s more than enough there to lance him.
Good post, but are you sure you want to invite a bunch of yankees down here?
I take the point; however, good businesses and good people would be welcome additions. People who would come to TEXAS for all the right reasons.
I was thinking about Perry recruiting businesses from CA etc., to make their new home HERE.
Glenn Beck moving from NY to Texas with an expanding business and hiring new people.
If Texas builds it (a good environment for living and doing business, not to mention our historic and natural treasures), they will come.
If nothing else, that Texas story becoming part of a presidential campaign could be Perry’s legacy.
Hopefully there is more, but that in itself could be a very good thing.
I believe you’re right.
Glenn Beck has moved within walking distance from my house.
Think I should take him some cookies?
