Hey, Sun. I just finished posting to another FReeper who jumped me because I dared to thank a South Carolina voter for choosing Rick Santorum. I love your tag line. Prayer is really needed. But, after reading some of the hateful attacks spewing from the Newt supporters to anyone who dares say they prefer Santorum because he lives what he says, I am beginning to think there actually is not hope for America.
Honor and Integrity used to be the hallmarks of this country. The Newt supporters are convincing themselves that because *in this moment* Newt is behaving with honor and integrity, that he will always behave that way, even though his past, including his recent past, says otherwise.
I don’t dislike Newt. I dislike all the things he’s done in the past. I don’t trust him.
I am not a Romney supporter, and will not vote for him, no matter what, but, Newt was wrong on Bain and Perry went down, because he jumped in on it with both feet. Santorum, again, showed wisdom and hung back and assessed. As a result, he survived to play another day.
Newt is a “smooth operator”, a strategist, and he is intelligent. People in battle with him, underestimate him. I don’t. But that is not what I want to represent me and my family. I want honor and integrity with a firm reliance on Divine Providence. That is why I am voting for Santorum.
Don’t give up, just keep presenting the truth, as you do. Even if you don’t convince the poster you are debatting with, you might convince someone else. Not everyone has a closed mind.
I think Newt would be a good president, but Rick Santorum would be a GREAT president.
It was good to see the libs’ attack on Newt backfire, but I have a huge worry. When Herman Cain was first accused WITHOUT EVIDENCE, he raised a ton of money, so those accusations backfired at his accusers AT THE TIME. Then they had more women come out of the woodwork, and it got so bad that Cain had to pull out, as he couldn’t even get his message out.
Besides what Newt has actually done, and he says he is sorry for those deeds, they could also have fake women come out and say things about him, and it could also drive him out of the race.
IF that were to happen, and Santorum dropped out, we’d be stuck with Romney.
I don’t understand why anyone thinks Santorum should drop out anyway. EACH of the three front runners won a race!
