This outlook assumes Pelosi does not have Newty by the n***, as she so publicly claimed. I’m not willing to take that chance.
It also assumes that Bible Belt Christians will break for a serial adulterer, lier and deceiver. Why I must settle for that as president is beyond me. Also fascinating is that the very people who condemned the Clintoon/Lewinsky misbehavior are perfectly comfortable giving the philandering Newt a pass.
I find that pathetic, hippocritical and disenguineness.
Who do you support?
Did you support King David for king of Israel?
All of us are sinners, in one form or another.
The reason why better people don’t run is that they have sins as well, but they don’t want them aired publicly. It could damage your fantasy about them.
Clinton did that in the Oval Office and then committed perjury.
As someone on the receiving end of a similar situation, It isnt my job to “punish” someone during a critical election by tossing the race to Romney.
But if all the issues of the country rank far below this, then by all means let the so-called Christian community make that loud and clear so that candidates in the future will just avoid them.
We are not voting for pope. I am supporting Newt. Does that make you a better Christian than me?
“I find that pathetic, hippocritical and disenguineness.”
In the way you state this, it does seem wrong of us. However, Bill Clinton did his thing in the Oval Office as a sitting POTUS. Additionally, he lied to a federal grand jury about it. He went on TV and wagged his finger in our faces telling us that he “did not have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky”.
For one, he never wholeheartedly apologized for lying to us for lying in our faces. And the big thing that many overlook is that he positioned himself to be bribed by foreign governments had they possessed that knowledge.
I do not want a sitting president who commits adultery, but I can take someone who has done that, but is seeming repentant.

Ron Paul has been the most faithful..

Newt has already done great things for this nation. He would like to do more. I think he can.
To compare an unrepentent grifter to the repentent Newt is pretty hypocritical.
Well I find you to be disingenuous, pathetic and arrogant, so there.
Why don't you ponder these words.
The penitent man is mindful of the Mercy and Forgiveness of God
“I find that pathetic, hippocritical and disenguineness.”
I’m saddened to discover you’re not a Christian.
Newt Gingrich had an epiphany. He had to, or he would have self-destructed.
As a small child he witnessed his father beating and abusing Newt’s mother. She divorced him, remarried, and Newt was adopted by his step dad. Later he was sexually molested by a high school teacher. Yeah, the first wife he married sexually molested him in high school. She became pregnant and he felt obligated to marry her. SHE later divorced him.
This man was carrying a troubled emotional burden while serving in Congress but he sought counseling, joined AA and eventually turned his life around after a religious conversion.
And you denigrate him!?
What I’ve found shocking is the enormous number of so-called Christians here at Free Republic who are nothing of the sort.
Christians are not better than other people. They forgive others, ask forgiveness for themselves, and try to lead a better life by not sinning further. I’m not disgusted with Newt Gingrich, who I believe has honestly changed his life. I’m disgusted with the bigots who claim they are Christian but do not put it into daily practice.
P.S.: No one has Newtie by the nose.
