Oops on the Alaska/Russia thing.
I don’t excuse Newt’s behavior. However, he has repented, asked for and received forgiveness. In my book, that settles it.
:-) I’m not voting for a church member; but my point is don’t justify bad behavior because he’s “the” guy.
He repents a lot. He repented on Scozzafava, on sitting on the couch with Nancy Pelosi, he repented on his anti-capitalism attacks. He refuses to admit, despite all the overwhelming video and written evidence of individual mandate support, and global warming support.
At some point you come to the conclusion the guy thinks he can do whatever as long as he says he is sorry. Some of these issues are too important for an “I’m sorry” after the fact.
