Who else you got? Santorum? I don't think so. Perry, not going anywhere. Bachmann, the same.
What's left is Romney. Do you pick Romney over Gingrich, warts notwithstanding?
We will have to what and see what happens in the South. :)
(And Pray for our Country.)
If they can’t keep an oath they can’t keep an oath. And Newt has shown he can’t keep an oath, and really has no accomplishments on his record at all.
I’m voting Santorum, I don’t really like him but he’s not a socialist and not a philanderer, which in this field looks like it will have to due.
LOL, Ok, I am assuming here you are talking about Marriages?
Gotta love it!
;)
Marriage vows include an oath to forsake all others. Somebody who can’t keep that, multiple times, for years at a stretch before finally manning up and getting a divorce, really doesn’t inspire confidence that they’ll preserve protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
And really history of serial philanderers that have gotten to the White House doesn’t do much to breed confidence. Clinton, Kennedy, FDR. Do we really want another one of them?
!!!

Santorum has a record as a liar: the empty house he set up as his primary residence. I don’t trust him any further than I can throw him.
You skipped Reagan..
But Do you know your bible? (not bashing, Just would like to know)
King David,(A man after God’s own heart the bible says) committed adultery and then had the husband killed.
He asked forgiveness and God used him.
This has been posted over and over again.
You are free to vote whom you want, of course that is ok.
There are those that would like to carry a banner “Sinner” and follow him around even after he acknowledged his sin and has been forgiven by God.
I will vote for Newt Gingrich.
He has worked and proven he can get things done in the gov.
He has proven he can be a voice and ticks off the media because he speaks the truth.
We NEED him..
God’s in the forgiving business, I’m not, I’m in the voting business. And I’m looking for somebody that won’t suck. And I don’t trust a serial philanderer not to suck, because history shows that mostly they suck. I’m not carrying a banner of “sinner” I’m carrying a banner of “proven liar who’s gone back on his word multiple times and has accomplished exactly NOTHING in his career”. Ie, he sucks.
Newt really proves the problem with oath violators. Which version of Newt will we get. The one that agreed cap and trade is necessary, or the one that said it’s ripe for corruption; the one that appeared in an Al Gore ad, or the one that says that was a mistake. He’s got a long history of being two faced. You can pick recent statements and actions and hope that he’s broken the pattern, but understand your hopes go against his existing track record. He has a track record of saying what he thinks people want to hear, and doing what he feels like.
Like my wife said to a friend of hers that stole a man and then was shocked when he cheated on her: how did you think this was going to end. He has an existing track record. He says he’s changed. So when choosing what to believe out of a guy that has admitted to lying you you have to decide: believe his words, or his deeds. I believe his deeds, and therefore don’t believe a word he says.
You have posted your opinion. I understand it.
I don’t agree with your stance and that is also ok.
When King David was given the option to choose God, Or Man to meter out his punishment, King David said, You Lord, because Man is unforgiving.
Also Jesus said He saw the heart of man and the evil there in.
We are all Guilty of sin. EVERYONE of us.
I thank GOD for his mercy. I recognize the need to forgive as he has forgiven.
But it IS your Choice, You make that choice yourself.
May God Bless you...
(Pray for America)
I’m not meeting out punishment. And it’s not about forgiveness. I’m deciding whether or not I can trust somebody well enough to vote for them. And Newt has a long track record of doing untrustworthy things. And it hasn’t changed recently. His environmentalism stuff was just a couple of years ago, and then he reversed in fall of last year. He still continues on his path of doing one thing and saying another. Just plain not trustworthy.
I understand that is your opinion.
It is up to each individual to make their decision as well.
I have.
Newt Gingrich will do a great job as president by all the information I have found.
Let’s watch and see who ends up with the nomination.
