" Lets just cut to the chase.

Folks on FR are supporting Newt because they perceive him to be the most conservative of the candidates. And they seem to be willing to ignore any of the serious issues that Newt will have getting elected.

If another more conservative candidate was in this race, Newt would be savaged her for his serial adultery and attack on capitalism (etc).

I thought those of us on FR had principals first, and were also conservatives. After 12 years here, I am having doubts."

Good arguments, now ? let's also cut to the case.

This very website that was founded by Jim Robinson was also founded on the principle of family values.

Is Free Republic for Pro-Family and Family values ?

What message are we sending to the nation, to the world, and our future generation when we sacrifice the sanctity of marriage for the sake and the expedience to win ?

Isn't Pro-Family and Family values apart of one of the major founding principles of Free Republic ? yes or no ?

No, they don't perceive him to be the most conservative. They perceive him as the only defense against the Romney boogie-man. And in the process, they have talked themselves into believing that McNewt is a conservative, just as they did with McCain four years ago.

The sad thing here is that Romney has no shot at winning the nomination despite the fact that he is actually running to the right of Newt Gingrich.

That we believe someone can change, be redeemed and shouldn't have behavior that occurred more than a decade held against him?

The Bible is filled with flawed men that were redeemed and ended up writing a good portion of the Bible.

Isn't Pro-Family and Family values apart of one of the major founding principles of Free Republic ? yes or no ?

Very fair question. I'd say YES.

Two questions for you: 1. Isn't the moral code contained in the Christian bible a MAJOR source of the founding principles of our United States of America? yes or no?

2. Isn't forgiving those who ask for your forgiveness a major aspect of Christianity, and therefore a major part of being Pro-Family and Family values? yes or no?
