>>>”The hypocrisy and lack of moral consistency here is breathtaking. No surprise that they have now settled on a man of little personal character as their ideal candidate.”<<<

There is no hypocrisy in a Christian’s belief in forgiveness and the ability of someone to change behavior. Clinton, Edwards and Wiener are progressives. We do not like their message. Their families can forgive.

We like Newt’s message and spirit to fight for righting this republic. Newt has publicly admitted to his transgressions.

I won’t work against Newt, but I don’t trust him (recalling the picture of him and Nancy Pelosi, all cozy, talking about global warming). He can give some grand speeches (just like someone else we know) but when it comes down to it, it’s the actions that count...and again, I recall his past actions. Political actions, not the bimbo problems. I’ll likely vote for him—who else would I vote for? Obama? No way. But just don’t try to sell me on this whole “forgiveness” thing. If he wins the election, and if he does as he says he will, we’ll talk about it then. Until then, I consider him a deeply flawed candidate, and I resent being forced into this corner by the people of only two states. (Someone tell me how they represent anyone but themselves?)

Newt has publicly admitted to his transgressions.

So have Clinton, Edwards, Wiener, various Kennedys, etc. This site's "Christian belief in forgiveness and the ability of someone to change behavior" is blatantly partisan. For the record I do believe in the power of forgiveness and redemption, but I believe it is for everybody.
