You are right. Even here on Free Republic, it seems that over half of Sanctimonium’s supporters post messages inferring God being the reason for Sanctimonium’s success, and Sanctimonium being’s God’s candidate; after all, Sanctimonium announced a few days ago that God Himself called him to run. As far as I am concerned, that kind of talk is very scary to secular voters of all kinds, and even worries me...
Here is my hope - and I hope it is not naive: Sanctimonium may be benefiting from barack’s latest anti-religious excursion. But Newt is also a Catholic, has been talking about the Obama war on religion for a long time. He has written excellent books, produced documentaries on the subject, when it wasn’t hot... that is all in Newt’s history... and is formidable and undeniable.
Sanctimonium is just so shallow and superficial on issues, and Newt has got stuff that people can sink their teeth into, but you have to get them introduced to Newt... that is my passion... I hope it will be yours.
Scares me.
