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.
The fact Rick is pro-life and being (seemingly) attacked for that on this forum (subtle references to "religious right") - that worries me. You don't have to be a Christian to be a conservative, but one ought not oppose America's Christian, Puritan roots. Otherwise, what's the point of "conserving?"
As far as the pill goes, by even discussing that we're letting the Left shape the debate. They know that abortion is now a loser for them so they move the moment of the lever, changing its center.
As Onyx most aptly pointed out earlier, we've got Iran on the verge of (or possibly with) nukes; why are we discussing these domestic issues and making ado of a man's views thereupon? Whoever we get is going to enter an infernal blaze with many foreign and domestic fires to put out before we can discuss things like the pill.
