Newt Gingrich says his passion for his country contributed to his marital infidelity. In an interview posted Wednesday by The Christian Broadcasting Network, Gingrich — who recently converted to Catholicism — said he had sought God’s forgiveness for mistakes in his past.

    The repukes must really be grasping at straws with the entire group of candidates that they have put forward. If you don’t like the facts that are in existance, make up your own, there is a vast quantity of brain-dead idiots out there that will believe that these re-branded dummies actually have changed. Unbelievable!

    That is the great thing about being a right wing conservative christian ~
    You can cheat, lie, steal, commit all manner of un-Godly sins and mayhem and go to church on the sabbath, be forgiven and start all over again on Monday, cheating, lying, stealing, condoning murder and sin away to your corrupted heart’s content.

    If it looks like BS, smells like BS, etc it probably is BS.
    I love born again and converts, as though rebranding with a different faith washes away sin! These conversions are just a sign of a guilty secret the world has found out. A fugue from reality.
