1. here's a little more (acting like the ole Newt)
Edited on Mon Jan-23-12 03:47 AM by luckyleftyme2
The full extent of Mr. Gingrich’s involvement with Freddie Mac burst into the open after Bloomberg News reported Tuesday that he earned $1.6 million to $1.8 million, in an on-and-off relationship from 1999 to 2008, with the mortgage company that has since been taken over by the federal government. The payments were far more than had previously been known, or than Mr. Gingrich, the former House speaker, had acknowledged.

His compensation, which several former Freddie Mac officials confirmed in interviews on Wednesday, and the extent of his work with the mortgage company, presented Mr. Gingrich with a fresh challenge to his Republican bid for the presidency just as he was climbing in polls.

Not only is Freddie Mac a longtime conservative whipping post, but the extent of his consultancy for the mortgage giant seemed to be at odds with his own statements about his work there. He has also blamed it for the collapse of the housing market, saying that at least one Democratic supporter should be jailed, and, in 2008, that President Obama should give back any money his campaign received from its executives.

NOW NEWT'S DENIAL SOUNDS LIKE THE OLE NEWT WITH THE SAME MESSAGE; I CAN GET AWAY WITH UNTRUTHS UNTIL I GET CORNERED -THEN I RUN AWAY! AND MY RECORD SHOWS THIS!
REMEMBER THIS IS THE MAN WHO LED THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST CLINTON FOR CHEATING WHILE HE WAS INVOLVED WITH A MISTRESS (and his 2nd wife was in the hospital)
AH YES ASK HIM TO TAKE A LIE DETECTOR TEST! HOW ABOUT HIS TAX RETURNS FOR THOSE YEARS!

2. the two sides of NEWT

NEWT HAS TWO SIDES : WHAT HE CLAIMS AND THE FACTS!

And with all the current bank bailout deals which are destroying our nation from within, do we not recall that Newt Gingrich is the Granddaddy of bailing out banks and set the stage for bank bailouts back in 1991 when he hooked up with other progressive RINOs in Congress to pave the way for bailing out savings and loan institutions to the tune of $40 billion?

How about the $52 billion for agriculture program subsidies and food stamps? Is this not spitting upon the defined and limited powers granted to Congress? And, what part of our Constitution allows federal revenue to be appropriated for public housing and “community development”? Or the $ 200 billion plus Gingrich voted for the Departments of Labor, HHS, and Education? Do these misappropriations of federal revenue supported by Gingrich not bother real conservatives? I’m more than certain they do not disturb RINOs and progressives, as a matter of fact RINOs and progressives embrace these misappropriations

WHAT TO BELIEVE? NO PROBLEM JUST CHECK HIS RECORD ! SEE HOW HE LEFT WASHINGTON IN 1998!
