Seems many who have looked into the ethics violations allegations aganist Newt know that they were pretty much unfounded !
Romney bringing them up , with a sense of hatred, is mostly understandable from a point of warfare of the ancient sorts - he is after all , seemingly trying to fulfill the mandate of Joseph Smith , for Mormon control of the world , starting with U.S and any sort of lies employed , to acheive same would go well along the pattern of those values he subsrcibes to !
Once in power, very likley that he would ardently promote what can incapacitate The Church and Christianity even , only adding to the attacks already on , well knowning already that Mormonism , with its strict control system , like in Islam would not be affected !
If such had been planned all along and the Governorship seen only as a stepping stool , very likely he would have only done things , to endear himself to the large Catholic /Christian vote --till , things fall in line !
As to any criticisms Gingrich migt have had against Reagn , well understandable … like many others , he too might have learned his lesson , in hindsight …and too , his possible admiration is for Bl.John Paul 11 , who was the main key , for the good outcome of that era , in the matter of peace but mentioning that would be like throwing pearls , in front of we know who …yet , he did and very good to know that that would be one essential key for his role for the country !
We , esp. in The Church cannot afford to misread that …same for the Republicans too , who owe much in this area, related to the Iraq war !
Thrwoing pearls …there in, is the hint too , of the origin of the attacks against him , esp.from those with an entrenched hatred against the truth proclaimed by The Church !
If Gingrich is sufffering with all the malignement or even abandonement from the princes of this world , hope he and those who support what he values, have powerful use of same , offering that up , for conversion of those who lie and hate the Lord , His Mother and the truth of our faith !
Thus , there is no defeat either way !
