Good for your 30 year old son and good for you. But you just proved my point. Do you not realize that we are talking about human beings and men in particular. So Saint Rick has never made any mistakes that speak to his character. Give me a break. We all sin and seek forgiveness, including Rick Santorum. Character is built over a lifetime. Jesus had his strongest words to the self-righteous. Seems he thought it the one of the worse sins. Just saying. We are looking for someone with courage and the ability to move the country forward. Like I said I will vote for Rick if he gets for enough. But he will not win. You may not like that, but for what it is worth, get back with me after the election.

Just because we're supposed to forgive as people doesn't mean I trust that person to be hired as CEO of the government.

Five serious candidates want the job. As a member of the board of directors of the Michigan branch, I choose from.
The current failure. Obama.
Mitt Romney. A guy who tries to be everything to everyone and inspired the failure. He's out.
Ron Paul. I like him, but voting for him would help Romney.
Newt Gingrich. Good Newt and Bad Newt. Good Newt can be really good and bad Newt is awful. Global Warming is also a dealbreaker issue with me, and he was on the coach with Pelosi. His cheating on his past wives casts doubts on his word. Is he lying about what he's going to do as president? That's my concern. Maybe he's been good this time. That's between him and Calista. Forgiveness is one thing. Trusting him with CEO is another. I have voted for a cheater before when he's kept his word to voters on every other issue. On it's own, it's a black mark, but not a dealbreaker with me. In addition, he's not competing in my state. Ok. I'm not going to waste my vote.

Santorum - Pro-life. Pro-2nd Amendment. Voted against Nafta (a good thing). Voted for the balanced budgets, but also the bad ones. Polling the best against Romney. Competing in my state. Worked his way up from a working class background compared to Romney. Santorum is who he is and I know what to expect from him.

I would have actually voted for Perry if he was still in, but he's out. I know he endorsed Newt, but politician endorsements mean little with me.

I stopped reading here. You entirely missed the point, and there's no reason to think you'll be able to understand anything else said on the subject.
