Well in an intoxicated moment Newt has stated:
“I think — look, anybody who’s honest about it knows that no person except Christ has ever been perfect"
So Jesus is perfect, let's have a little comparison shall we.
“Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets. (Matthew 7:12)
Looks like his next divorce could be a real front page epic.
“It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven (Luke 18:25)”
“The idea that a congressman would be tainted by accepting money from private industry or private sources is essentially a socialist argument.”
Newt Gingrich
Hmmm... it's going to have to be one bloody big needle.
“for God so loved the World that he gave his only begotten Son' John 3:16”
“I love the environment, but I'm cheap on the environment.”
Newt Gingrich
Somewhat different valuations.
“Look at the birdas of the air; your heavenly father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Matthew 6:26 (NIV)”
I'm opposed to giving people money for doing nothing. [on unemployment benefits.]
Newt Gingrich
Just a slight difference one might say.
Good lord Newt, Jesus must be some unAmerica socialist.

One has to be severely inebriated not to see the discrepancy.
