Watch the video first, make your opinion, then read the facts and rebuttal below….

If you want to find a reason to support him you’ll find one, but let’s look at the facts in what he says- even forgetting for a moment that Newt is one of those famous establishment politicians who say one thing on stage and do the opposite in reality:

- forgiveness? I don’t doubt he’s forgiven. But again his actions continually reveal his heart (Matthew 7:20). Can he be forgiven of his 30+ years stint as an adulterer? Sure. His overwhelming continued support of abortion through planned parenthood? Sure. His $300,000 worth of ethics violations? Sure. His long-standing expansion of public debt? Sure. His two-faced support of major issues like Freddie and Fannie Mae? Sure. His support of TARP bailouts? Of course. Will this haunt him and will Obama beat him to death with it, seeing as how forgiveness or not Obama actually has a better record as a Christian? You better believe it. And btw Obama annihilates Newt in the polls, but that’s another issue…

- restoration is a process? I don’t want a president who is just now going through the process of cleaning up his act (perhaps even for political gain?). I want one who has a long-time principled history of acting as a Christian.

- American Exceptionalism? no problem with that… except that Newt wants to spread it by invading countries, killing innocents, and installing puppet dictators. A Christian idea? I believe in more of Ron Paul’s view on American and Christian exceptionalism, in which he says “Setting a good example is a far better way to spread ideals than through force of arms.” This is the biblical view.

- Can’t be “out-parliamentized” by the left? Yeah, in fact Newt supports the left like he did when he helped Nancy Pelosi, or when he wrote that book in support of global warming…

- Right vs Wrong? His first point is abortion, which Newt over and over again supported with our tax dollars behind it… that would be the wrong. Spending more money than you take in? Newt continuously grew our debt as speaker and took $1.6million from us as a consultant.

- Nature of war? this is a mixed message I don’t exactly understand, except that Churchill had the same foreign policy stance as Ron Paul; whereas Newt wants to be an empire building invasioner of foreign lands which is quite the opposite of Churchill. So I’m not sure how that analogy works…

I see so many things wrong with that video I’m curious how so many people can be misguided… Fred Thompson was paid over a million to throw his support to Newt, so I dunno what happened to this guy. But Pastor Chuck Baldwin points out the reality without a fancy well rehearsed video -- http://www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin685.htm
