The most telling bit from his announcement:
"Newt is not perfect, but who among us is?" Perry said. "The fact is, there is forgiveness for those who seek God."
You get that? It's OK that Newt is a philandering man whore because
"there is forgiveness for those who seek God." And ONLY for those who "seek God." This is how these fundamentalist assholes let slip that they really do think they are soooooo much better than everyone else. There is no forgiveness for Muslims, or Buddhists, or Atheists because they don't "seek God." It's perfectly acceptable to condemn the promiscuity of a gay man but not that of Newt because Newt "seeks God," and therefore gets a free pass on all past, present, and future fuckups.
These people physically turn my stomach.
Another gem, this time from Newt's press conference today:
At an event in Beaufort, S.C., on Thursday, Gingrich said Perry would lead a "Tenth Amendment enforcement project" for his campaign, "reaching out to every governor in the country of both parties, reaching out to mayors, reaching out to state legislatures and working with conservative legislators in Washington so that we can have a very strong platform plank in Tampa in August on the Tenth Amendment."
So Newt comes out of the closet as a Tenther. Could this man get any more loathsome?
