That some religious leaders have “chosen” Santorum and ignored or rejected both Governor Perry and Speaker Gingrich has given cover to those who tout religion as the be all and end all of politics.

It isn’t, nor should it be, nor can it be successful in the broader society.

Newt gets it, because he understands history and philosophy and the Founders and the Constitution.

It isn’t about singling out a “holier than thou” individual.

I give no quarter to anyone here as to my own religious beliefs and practice.

But here, I have been sickened by the very strong implication that Santorum is God’s candidate, none others need apply, and by extension, Santorum backers are backing God’s annointed.

There was only one of those, and his name was Jesus, and he WAS without sin.

The Bible says that if you violate a single law, you are guilty of the whole. The Bible says all have sinned and fallen short. The Bible says that all are dependent upon the sinless Son of God or else they would be lost in a forever burning Hell.

Kinda levels the playing field.

Thanks for your post, CAWW.

I'm on record here at being aghast when those Evangelical pastors didn't endorse Governor Perry over the two Catholics in the race: Santorum and Gingrich. Governor Perry was the very obvious choice and he sure needed their endorsement at that time. IIRC, they even convened in Texas, for crying out loud.

This primary has been one huge mess and the blame goes straight to Romney beginning in Iowa, when he couldn't stand Newt Gingrich's purely positive campaign.

I also think he was responsible for a lot of the dirty shenanigans pulled on Governor Rick Perry and Herman Cain, but how to prove it? I think the fact that both of those men support Newt is proof enough.

They did the same thing with Carter and we know how that turned out.....and make no mistake some of the worst offenders and opposition to Christianity are not those without the community but from within.

You are correct..Newt gets it and gets it very well....people want to hear about the greatness of our country because we need to hear that....too many have forgotten and or ignored the mighty hand of God in bringing our nation about.

It's ok to admire the fortitude and determination of our founders, and I do...but they never came across with the self-righteousness on display from Santorum.... and as we have recently noted...Santorum has begun using Newts bites to position himself...he's so unauthentic though he clamors that he is!
