He said ... she said ... SO WHAT !!!!!! We are electing a president not a pope
Well, it’s all scummy and sleazy, and I don’t agree with what he did. However, it was a long time ago and he has since claimed that’s he’s confessed his wrongs and now appears to be in a stable marriage.
That’s all I can really fall back on in any of this. We’ve all done horrible scummy sleazy things and we’ve all sought forgiviness for it. I am not exempt in this matter, so therefore, I still don’t believe I can really judge Newt for any of it. It’s truly between Newt and his God (which I believe is the same as mine).
As far as his judgement and propensity to do it again ..well, one could say I still have the propensity to sin ... and that I could totally destoy my life and marriage if I chose to by repeating the sins of MY past, But honestly, time has really tempered me, and I’ve learned from that expeirence that it’s really not worth it anymore.
I have to believe it’s the same with Newt.
I do believe the man has gravitas. However, he’s also got courage and is bold. I have to really KNOW the man and understand the whole picture. He’s complex ....just as any of us are.
What I find personally more reprehensible are serial cheaters and philanderers who father children and then don’t take care of them. If THAT was what we’re seeing ...it would be different for me. But at this point, it’s between two consenting adults ...Newt proposed an arrangement which she declined. He has the love of his daughters and grandchildren. I don’t know what else to say.
