At least Newt has owned up to his failings and even done it publicly, with no equivocation. That takes a lot of guts and, yes, character. He didn't have to do it. He says he prayed about it and asked God's forgiveness. Do you have reason to doubt that?
If God has forgiven him maybe you could also consider it.
Oh, and I congratulate you on your perfection of character.
You start off with a very worthwhile point; pity you go stupid after that. Though against my usual policy, I'll overlook the 75% stupid to respond to the good point.
I've read that an interview with FoTF comes out today, and I mean to catch it. Of course sins can be forgiven, and the fallen restored. But Clinton enablers also say he's repented, because he once said in the past that he had. However, it was unlike anything the Bible describes repentance, which actually produces confirmatory works.
So I'm interested to see whether NG TALKS repentance to get back in good with his base, or whether there's any fruit to attest it.
If God has forgiven him maybe you could also consider it.
I forgive him, but I won't vote for him for President.
I wasn't aware that Newt was the one that "brought it to the public's attention".
Doesn't look like he had any other choice than "own up".
