Well, that’s just nuts. Newt is a Christian. He’s confessed his sins, repented, asked for forgiveness and seeks redemption. I have full faith in his sincerity. Torpedoing Newt at this time will deliver the nomination to Romney and the election to Obama. How great can that be?
It *is* nuts. But if RedState and Erick Erickson are posting it, then it’s safe to say that it is happening.
Which ought to make us think about the goal of evangelicals in this election.
For it’s telling me that they honestly don’t give a flying rat’s @ss about a small-government... or a healthy, growing economy.
Just nuts is right. Something about this does not add up. The only sense I can make of it is that it’s like a “Monopoly” alliance, where two players team up hoping to take out the common threat (Newt), then duke it out later between themselves (Romney vs Santorum).

I wouldn’t worry too much about it, this scheme is almost certain to backfire. Rush will likely talk about it along with many other talk radio shows. If voters believe (and even have reports) that Santorum is nothing more than a Romney stalking horse, they will rally to Newt in even greater numbers.
Have them look up St. Augustine.
