“Since when does wanting our President to live by God’s standards being ‘holier than thou?’
Isn’t that what we’re all supposed to desire in a leader? “
Because no one with a brain thinks that anyone can or has.
Demanding that someone lives to perfection to get a vote is to demand that someone lives equal to God.
We have a real danger at the head of the government whom does not care about any Christian’s opinion of him, so most of us are looking to dispatch of that first with the best man to do that. He is not perfection by church standards as we are all not, but he knows how to fight in the political arena as it is now.
So some of us will have to deiced what they want more. To feel or to think.
Other than those glaring misperceptions of what I said, I understand those who prefer a fighter with a past to lead us now.
What I would love to see, and will never see because this is Free Republic, is respect for conservatives who see Santorum as the better candidate (and not say stupid things about Popes and perfection), and see the same kind of respect for those who see Newt as the better candidate.
I thought the same thing about Cain (whom I supported), and Perry.
Some on this forum have been hostile and nasty to others who are EQUALLY conservative, and I'd rather see it stop.
