Now he feels "compelled" to seek God's forgiveness. That's what Bentway would call "cheap forgiveness." And he would be right. Forget All that. Grinchich is the better candidate... Al

I do see some differences between Clinton's behavior and Gingrich's. I've discussed this before: The imbalance of power between Clinton & Lewinsky made his actions essentially like a date rape. She was a young, inexperienced girl and he was the most powerful man in the world. It was, at the very least, borderline abusive. At the time, I felt that if a wife couldn't trust the man, I don't know how the rest of the country could; and I stand by that. However, I get no sense that his wife doesn't trust him. With Clinton, the bimbo eruptions were indiscriminant and random. With Newt, we know of two affairs he had. There has not been a series of bimbo eruptions. There is a difference. As to his political record it is one of substantial accomplishment and leadership and good ideas and some bad ones. While I think Romney would make an excellent president -- particularly following Obama -- I do believe we need someone who knows how to make things happen. The country is more divided than it has been at least in my lifetime. Gingrich was able to do things as Speaker in a fairly divided environment. It is hard to do. I have concerns about electability. But I'd rather take a shot at electing Gingrich than elect Romney and find him paralyzed in party politics.

Giuliani Knocks Romney, Likens Gingrich to Reagan Saturday, 28 Jan 2012 10:08 PM h/t brumar By Newsmax staff Speaking on MSNBC’s "Morning Joe," former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani praised Newt Gingrich and criticized Mitt Romney as a flip-flopper. “I’ve never seen a guy change his positions on so many things, so fast, on a dime, on everything,” Giuliani said about the former Massachusetts governor. “Pro-choice, pro-life. And pro-choice because somebody, a close friend, died, and he became pro-choice because this woman died of an abortion. Then he figures out there are embryos and he changes. “Then he was pro-gun control,” Giuliani opined. “Fine. Then he becomes a lifetime member of the NRA. Then he was pro cap and trade. Now he’s against cap and trade. He was pro-mandate for the whole country, then he becomes anti-mandate and he takes that page out of his book and republishes the book. I could go on and on.” Giuliani concluded that Romney is a "man that will say anything to become president of the United States.” Meanwhile, the 9/11 icon likened Gingrich to Ronald Reagan. “I kind of go back to 1980 and I remember the Carter White House just dying [to run against] Ronald Reagan,” Giuliani said. “Ronald Reagan was the dumb actor, Ronald Reagan said incendiary things, Ronald Reagan was like Newt — gosh, you never knew what he was going to say and the whole world would go crazy — The New York Times would write editorials. There was Bush, greatest resume of anyone who ever ran for president, solid citizen. They got Reagan and they got trounced.” Giuliani continued: “I think Newt has a much more consistent position as a conservative, with some real exceptions like Ronald Reagan had. Ronald Reagan signed a bill that made abortion legal in the state of California. Ronald Reagan did in fact raise taxes several times, not just as president, but also as governor of California.” Giuliani also talked about electibility. “It may be that Newt is appealing to some that maybe Mitt isn’t appealing to,” Giuliani explained. “There’s something wrong when you’ve been running as long as Mitt has and you’re at 25 percent, and you don’t go much below, and you don’t go much above. Seventy-five percent of the other Republicans are telling you something.” http://www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/Giuliani-Knocks-Romney-Praises/2012/01/28/id/425835
