To the Rick Santorum supporters here; if your candidate does poorly (as all of the polls suggest that he will, there will be further calls for him to end his campaign. This is not mean’t to be a personal attack, please do not respond as if it were one.

Probably 95% of us leaning towards Newt don’t necessarily LIKE him or have any emotional attachment whatsoever.; We believe he is what this nation needs to defeat Obama AND get us back on track.

I think that his past personal foibles are just that, past and personal. He and his wife claim to be sinners forgiven by a loving God. Who are we to call them liars?

Some folks, who were raised in Christ from birth don’t always understand what that forgiveness means to those of us that were not raised in a Christ centered home. Those of us that came to the Lord later in life having been humbled by Him allowing us to make our mistakes and loving us anyway.

Maybe us newer Christians understand Newt a little better than others because WE have been there, done that and got the battle scars.

This primary and the end results are nothing personal, please act with class. If by some miracle, Rick Santorum were to shock the world, gain 20 to 30 pts over what all of the polls say he will do and win South Carolina?

Well then he’s going to get a lot of support from those of us leaning Gingrich right now.

One thing I have learned about Free Republic is that it is extremely fickle. Either that, or different groups of people check in at different times. Several months ago, you had all kinds of brutal slams against Gingrich here on Free Republic.

Heck, just about two or three years ago, when Gingrich supported this Dede Scozazzafavabean and sided with the RINO elite in upstate New York, about every other comment on FR (and I remember it vividly) were things like "Shut up Newt", or "Go Away Newt". It was endemic, I remember it. He had support by about 10% of people on FR for doing that.

Now, a few years later in South Carolina, this morning on FR it seems like the second coming of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ it is so overwhelming for Gingrich. I wonder why FR shifts doctrinally in the winds like that. Is it just that different people are checking in? Or is it that people equivocate that much? I know Sen. Santorum has had strong, solid support on FR as well as name calling and bashing. It is odd. At any rate, we should adjust the turret and turn the fire on Romney and Paul and Obama at the of the day. This is kind of like a "separated brethren situation" within Christendom, it seems. Weird.
