You really think biblical forgiveness will insulate Newt from political attack? Do you really think it should?
Newt owns his baggage. That is also part of biblical forgiveness, by the way.
I think biblical forgiveness should be accepted by everyone, since we will be judged ourselves by the same mercy we give others. As far is God is concened, Jesus takes away our sins and cleanses us. Carry yours around if you wish to.
No, Newt hasn’t been insulated from political attack, especially by the hypocrites who fear him. They don’t care two hoots about his “baggage”, but they are afraid that he is going to shake up the establishment and pack their bags for them, so they continue the attack.
In the unlikley event that Rick Santorum is elected, all the Washington crowd will do is laugh at him, and it will be business as usual in Washington. He is a complete lightweight, as people who have knowm him personally for years can tell you.
I cringe when I think of him sitting down with the Prime Minister of Israel. Having lost my son in service to his country, I will feel sorry for our service men and women if he is Commander in Chief. It has been awful under Obama. Oliver North endorsed Newt with good reason.
Don’t expect anything of substance to get done by Rick. He does not have what it takes to deliver, but the nation may find that out the hard way.
