JerryBaumchen 1,470 #1 July 15, 2016 Hi folks, Gingrich seems to think someone out there will take him seriously: “I will be sort of the leader . . . " That worked so well for him the last time. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/ben-carson-newt-gingrich-trump-225625 Jerry Baumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeorgiaDon 381 #3 July 16, 2016 RonD1120I look for him to get a place in Trump's cabinet.Gingrich has repeatedly demonstrated that he has no moral or ethical compass other than to do/say what is in his own self-interest. He is also an outrageous and unapologetic hypocrite, leading the effort to impeach Clinton at the same time that he was carrying on an adulterous affair. Indeed he shares a lot of personality traits with Trump, including narcissism. It's interesting that you look so favorably on such people. It makes me question your own supposed "Christian" values. Surely if the conservative movement had any value it could find champions who were not such odious piles of excrement?

JerryBaumchen 1,470 #9 July 17, 2016 Hi John, QuoteThe loony demographic is important to the GOP. You have hit the proverbial nail on the head. This is the very crux of this campaign. As I have posted many times on here, I was an R for 42 yrs; I did not leave the Republican Party, they left me. Jerry Baumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RonD1120 62 #10 July 17, 2016 *** It's interesting that you look so favorably on such people. It makes me question your own supposed "Christian" values. Don Oh dear me! You made me realize there are two different factors present in my life. One is the consideration of political and social policies in government. And the other is my faith in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. How can I resolve this dichotomy in my mind? What to do, what to do.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

GeorgiaDon 381 #12 July 17, 2016 QuoteHow can I resolve this dichotomy in my mind? What to do, what to do. It's not that hard, Ron. Open your mind enough to really look at what political parties and people stand for, instead of blindly assuming only Republicans represent the shining light on the hill. You don't have to follow anyone just because they put an "R" behind their name. Look at actions and policies and ask who is more aligned with Christian values. Did Jesus refuse to heal the sick unless they were rich? Did He turn away people because they were foreigners? Did He condemn the poor if they asked for a piece of bread? Why do you worship a party that supports all of these actions? Don_____________________________________ Tolerance is the cost we must pay for our adventure in liberty.

It's not like you're new to the internet, so I'm quite surprised that you still think it's desirable to make your point in riddles that only a few people would get. Most people think it's better to make your argument in a way that is clear and unambiguous, so that you have a chance at a real discussion.

RonD1120 62 #22 July 17, 2016 Thank you for the advice. I wasn't trying to make an argument or a discussion. This is just random conversation for me at this time. Actually, it is most of the time. I get sleepy when I read. Internet communication keeps me awake and stirs minor emotion which is good for temporary entertainment. Nothing discussed, argued or agreed upon in this forum makes any difference to anyone observing. It is a fantasy world.
