Well, I guess those poor li’l evangelicals can just re-elect an America-hating muslim.

My first disappointment with Newt was when right after he was elected Speaker, he signed a multimillion dollar book deal.

He was cashing in already and has never stopped since.

He has earned 100 million dollars in the last 10 years cashing in on his influence and contacts.

Its free enterprise, but its slimy.

[Lou Budvis]

It’s not up to evangelical women to forgive him. Newt converted to Catholicism, and assuming he made a good confession about his adultry, was forgiven.

[outinyellowdogcountry]

Land is correct. It is a character issue and forgiveness can happen, repentance can happen but what will he do in the future. His faithfulness is not about personal issues, it is about how he will make decisions in the future. His dancing with the liberal democrats on issues like global warming and single payer health care are just two examples. Some very troubling statements have been made AFTER his renewal of faith. I wish he had proven himself faithful in most things but I don’t know if he has been faithful in even a little.

[ottbmare]

Newt himself is a Roman Catholic. To judge by the attitude some Freepers have toward Catholicism, he’s have bigger problems with Evangelicals than just his two divorces.

Come to think of it, how did Newt get remarried and become a Catholic with two divorces? Did he get those annulled or what?

[Jim Scott]

Although some will dismiss Richard Land as being overly focused on Gingrich's martial history, the Herman Cain experience has made it crystal clear that the left (and the GOP establishment) are going to use insinuations and outright accusations of martial infidelity as a wedge to drive away conservative women voters from the conservative candidate. Sadly, it is all too effective. We can bemoan the fact that women voters are too easily swayed by unsubstantiated accusations of marital infidelity but when the moaning is done, the reality is that the Cain experience (and I still support him) has shown the enemies of conservatism that all they have to do is find a woman acquaintance that is willing to lie and accuse the conservative candidate of sexual harassment or having an 'affair' and he suddenly drops like a rock in the polls and has to struggle to maintain his political viability as women, often conservative women, abandon him. With Newt's martial history, this looms as a huge problem for him. One that his political enemies are likely salivating over in anticipation of using Newt's rocky martial history against him in hopes of driving away female voters. A speech much like the one suggested by Richard Land would help thwart the negative effect of the expected attacks on Newt's character via his marriage history. I doubt Gingrich will do this - but he should.

Did I mention that I still support Herman Cain?

[Logical me]

Evangelical women might just might be the bunch that ends up with another King Obama 4 years. All of this complaining works for the communists party formally the Democratic Party. So have at it.

[annieokie]

Never heard of Mr. Land, but his letter does not sound like a chriatian type letter to me.

As far a Christian women not voting for NEWT, all the Christian women I know, WILL be voting for NEWT.

[JudyM]

I am a Christian woman. Given the choice between Newt Gingrich (who is an unlikeable man) and Barack Obama, I would actually campaign and work for Gingrich. I do not look for perfection in a President. I look for a man of ideas who can bring this country out of the doldrums and restore American greatness. Most important, I want a President who will stop stending money this country does not have and will stop creating ‘classes’ of people to pit against one another. Only God is perfect.........

Land is correct about the evangelical women but I dare say that it isn't merely the evangelical ladies who are turned off by Newt's alley-cat ways.

These actions, forgiven by God or not, remind other women of another articulate, slick guy who is good making a "sow's ear sound like a silk purse," and that guy would be none other than Bill Clinton.

Do we want to witness such scum sitting in the Oval Office and feel comfortable that he'll not find another Monica cavorting around the corner - I think not.

[Sola Veritas]

This seems like sound advice to me. I see no reason for folks to get snarky about it.

I believe Newt has already acknowledged wrong, but it would be wise to do so again as Land suggests. I don’t think this is a “make or break” thing, but I do believe it would make him more palatible to conservative evangelicals that have problems with his past infidelities.

[chris_bdba]

GEEZ people he isn’t running to be your husband.Granted he isn’t my first choice but I’d vote for him in a heartbeat over having who is in office serve a second term.

[Tribune7]

Will conservative women forgive Newt?

That's something that has to be considered.

There sure is a lot of talk about Newt and the “Evangelical voters”. He's done a ton of “outreach” to this one segment of the population. What about Catholic voters? I guess Newt feels, ala John Kerry, that he is automatically ENTITLED to our votes now since he now calls himself a Catholic. Noted.

[TroutFishingInAmerica]

Theodore H. White, who wrote the “Making of the President” books, said the ONLY presidential candidates who never fooled around were Harry Truman, George Romney and Jimmy Carter. That, to me, says a lot about the Romney family’s character.
