I am in complete agreement with you on all counts. Fidelity - not infidelity - should at the very least count for something. Outright qualification? Not sure I'd go that far.

But it disturbs me that there are some who would disqualify Rick Santorum because he has been faithful. It seems a little backwards.

Now, we need to consider that we are a nation in decline for a reason, and it is because we have forsaken truth and, to borrow from Bill Bennett, defined deviance down. Clinton set a new low bar for us. We certainly have no right to expect the blessings that come with greatness (tangible, everyday blessings of prosperity) if we would turn against God, chaff at His Word, and belittle those who try, however imperfectly, to obey Him.

As to Willard, yeah, well... I'm not supporting him and sure hope you're not either. He represents everything that is wrong with the GOP and is a smooth-talking salesman all about "image" over substance.

Who in the world disqualifies Santorum because he is faithful? I have never seen that here. What I have seen here is Santorum supporters stating Santorum is a better man because he hasn't committed the sin a adultery and doesn't have any personal baggage, and REFUSING to allow newt gingrich to be the new creature in Christ Jesus that his faith and his repentance and his Savior promise him he can be... and bringing up Newt's baggage every opportunity they get... that is what is twisted and warped. Not santorum's fidelity. You're not serious, are you?

He was repentant before God for his sins...

Some don’t seem to like that he is religious, or that he honors his wife. We saw that tonight in the deleted comment about what his wife did before Rick reached out to her in love and rescued her, and she turned her heart to God.

Some seem to have trouble with his Catholicism, although it’s hard to say whether their attacks on on the Catholic faith as a whole, or just what they perceive as Santorum’s particular practice of that faith. Since Gingrich is Catholic, I’d like to think it is the latter.

I’m not Catholic, and in a religion thread I might argue some of these things, but not as a blatant attack on the character of one of our conservative candidates.
