You know...all of the judgemental attitudes are hypocritical.
Let's look at Bible heroes and I do mean that they were heroes, though flawed human beings.
David: Adulterer and Murderer
Peter: Lied three times, after pledging his undying devotion the previous day.
Moses: Murderer
I could go on...but these men were not just Biblical heroes, they were LEADERS, annointed by God.
If you think that because Newt had a moral failing that he is unfit to lead...you better take another look at the Bible.
This thread seems to have a great many 'stonethrowers'! I give Newt great credit for honesty about his quest for love and his sin of failure to be truthful to his two wives, which he appears to be openly repentant about. Of course I believe he has great leadership to offer us if we are wise enough to seek it. His Border Control position posted 3/7 is brilliantly argued, for example.
