his public record and political accomplishments aren’t exactly night and day. And his pompous taking credit for everything makes his accomplishments appear embellished and exaggerated as far as responsibility goes. He is a legend in his own mind.
You don’t have to agree with my assessment, but isn’t it a little odd and convenient to hold that Obligation for a huge chunk of Christian voters? Especially when Newt knows full well about the tenets of Christianity, that to be reluctant plays on the Christian’s conscience. Since Forgiveness is central??
When you read his conversion history , he talks about the Faith in aesthetic, intellectual phrases…
That’s not Faith…it’s never really a decision YOU make and faith isn’t ultimately based on ‘understanding’ It is supernatural.
Another thing, I find it a little odd, if you take Marianne’s side of the tale that Gingrich wanted an open marriage?
And Calista a staffer was okay at the time. So Gingrich wanted a sham marriage? For appearances sake THEN.
Ten years earlier… Gingrich is quoted by a friend that he wanted to leave his 1st wife “because she’s not young enough, or pretty enough to be a president’s wife”
So we know Gingrich has wanted to be president since 1980.
Gingrich divorced the 2nd wife when he had a younger mistress, and the 2nd wife was diagnosed with MS.
Marianne said that Gingrich said about Calista that she would help him become president.
americanthinker.com/blog/2011/12/court_files_show_gingrich_lying_about_first_divorce.html
- We know from CNN’s report of divorce records in December.
That the very same daughters that Gingrich uses to discredit the media.
Own testimonies had holes in them. Gingrich’s camp was lying. Based on court records.
The first wife didn’t want to get divorced.
- We know from Marianne’s interview with esquire. That Marianne 's divorce was hard for her. But Calista wasn’t going to be deposed by Marianne’s lawyer. But by Gingrich.
Marianne finds out that Gingrich set up for the media by his lawyer that told the press that the split was amicable. etc to soften and make Gingrich’s divorce white washed a little
So we already have untruths from Gingrich’s side of the story. Based on the fact that these are records.
The question isn’t repentance or forgiveness. It’s candidness and HONESTY.
How do we know he ever was or still applying what he wanted the 2nd wife to do while in Congress now with Calista. Who seems to like the perks and wealth from Gingrich’s post-politician career where he’s become a multi-millionaire?
Character IS connected into one’s work. It spills into ones work.
Americans are supposed to value the stability of the family , because it helps promote a healthier nation?
Yet we don’t care to question if the executive office may have that kind of man? who may not really believe in it?
And if Gingrich is cynically using and calculating for this response from voters because he knows that Christians are very open and willing they want to see and take him at his veneer …
Think about it. We have to take a politician at his word?? about reconciliation?
When his word on policy is sketchy already!! Can already be proven that his word.
It has been pointed out by others, that this is the man who endorsed a pro-gay activist, pro-abortionist, months after his conversion.
I hope Gingrich doesn’t win South Carolina. He’s coming off less trustworthy than Mitt Romney. And that’s pretty untrustworthy.
