“No, what you do is say he did it as a cynical move - without offering a scrap of evidence.”
You trust a politician who has betrayed wives and conservatism. You think it’s pure coincidence that he would convert/annul just in time for the primaries. I don’t and I don’t.
After his demonstrated behavior that does not fit the trust that is being placed in him by conservatives, You claim I’m prejudiced against Newt because he is a converted Catholic.
Character matters in elections, and it should matter to you, too.

It has nothing to do with trust.
“You think it’s pure coincidence that he would convert/annul just in time for the primaries.”
I don’t think that’s what happened. He converted in March of 2009. The primaries began a few weeks ago. Don’t forget he entered RCIA no later than September of 2008. That means he decided to convert 3 years before the primaries.
“I don’t and I don’t.”
Three years. You are clearly way off.
“After his demonstrated behavior that does not fit the trust that is being placed in him by conservatives, You claim I’m prejudiced against Newt because he is a converted Catholic.”
Nope. I never claimed your “prejudiced against Newt because he is a converted Catholic.” I noted your prejudice for something else.
“Character matters in elections, and it should matter to you, too.”
It does. Feel free to keep making mistakes.
Newt has changed dramatically. Here are some FR links about his conversion.
