Newt makes Herman "Let me grope you" Cain look like the Pope and any family value voter who voted for him is a hypocrite.
In the first place, none of Cain's accusers had any proof. Let's be honest. They were paid. Where are they now? Gone. So is Ms. Allred, having crawled back under her rock.
I left the church scene permanently 2 years ago after going for most of my life. The hypocrisy is just so amazingly blatant, and everything is about power and growth in the vast majority of American churches, along with blindly following whatever the pastors tell people to think.
Be honest. You aren't a believer and never were. You were acting. Playing a game.
Is the title a broad brush? Does it apply to every Evangelical Republican? No. But I believe the broad brush applies to a whole lot of them.
In South Carolina, voters who said that religion matters a great deal to voted 9 percent for Mitt Romney and 43 percent for Gingrich. Among voters who said religion was not important, 42 percent voted for Romney. Let me repeat. 9 percent to 42 percent depending on the voter's religiosity. And the largest religious voting block in South Carolina is Evangelicals.
I heard a lot of excuses like "Newt has family values" and "Newt is more honest" to explain why they vote for him. Let's be honest -- it was code for Romney is a Mormon!!!!.
Newt got kicked out of Congress for ethics violations, and Newt his a serial cheater, who has treated his ex-wives like dirt. Yet now he is now the "values" candidate in this contest. On the radio today, I actually heard one voter as say he would rather vote for a serial adulterer than a Mormon. What a disgusting display of bigotry and hypocrisy due to blinding religious bias.

Jeez dude, that's a little harsh on somebody you don't even know, isn't it?
And I can't figure out why Mormons would want to be called Christians, anyway. I think Gandhi said it best... "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."
Why do Gingrich supporters feel his history of adultery does not matter in his electability as president when they are a part of the party that claims franchise to Christian and family values? After all, they are the party that wanted to focus on what gays and lesbians do in their private bedroom.
Mitt Romney will have a problem with the hard core conservative Christian evangelicals. Many will claim he is not conservative enough, that he is too moderate on social policy issues, that he is a flip-flopper. Still, I believe many will not support him merely because he is a Mormon - although few will actually admit it.
Supporters of Romney feel that he is the best guy to defeat Obama, that he has the ability to sway the moderate "independent" or "swing" vote away from the president.
Personally, I have a hunch that the very best scenario for the GOP is to have a deadlocked convention and that a fresh new candidate comes from out of the blue to accept the party's nomination ... someone like New Jersey's Gov. Christie, who makes the others look like a bunch of clowns. Okay, this is not likely to happen - but anything is possible.
From someone who I am sure has never even lived in the south. The south is not what you see on tv or in the movies, fortunately. Some of the south lives right up to those stereotypes, but much of the south is very progressive and nothing like that. Is it the north, no and we don't really want it to be. There are just as many drawbacks to that.

I think this is just so much bs pushed by the left and the paulinistas who actually feel the way they are accusing evangelicals. Why in the world would evangelicals be afraid of a mormon when they know what they have in office now. What is Romney going to force us all to have multiple wives?
