Owner59 -> Gingric reportedly made $1.6 million from Freddie Mac contracts.... (11/16/2011 8:30:58 AM)
You know the guy who`s pinning the whole economic collapse on Freddie Mac and Barney Frank.... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/16/newt-gingrich-freddie-mac_n_1096578.html "Newt Gingrich Freddie Mac Fees: Former House Speaker Reportedly Received At Least $1.6 Million From Housing Giant" "In recent months, GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has strongly criticized Freddie Mac and sister company Fannie Mae, as well as Democrats in Congress that he claims played a key role in the collapse of the housing market. And yet two former Freddie Mac officials recently told Bloomberg that Gingrich made between $1.6 million and $1.8 million in consulting fees from the mortgage company. That amount is significantly larger than the $300,000 payment that Gingrich was asked about during a Republican presidential debate on Nov. 9. The Freddie Mac officials also told Bloomberg that Gingrich was asked to build bridges with Capitol Hill Republicans and help sell the mortgage company's public-private structure to conservatives." Otherwise....lobby.

What Newt has said is he was paid to tell them what was wrong with Freddie and how to fix it. Isn't this thread redundant ? Edited to add: Too bad they didn't listen to him.

Unfortunately, he is the most intelligent one of the bunch. He is a VERY intelligent person. I just have a feeling that his baggage would drag him down in a general and put Obama back in office.

It's hard if your number two outshines you. I almost wish for the old system. The loser becomes vp. Lol. That bipartisanship for your ass.

as I said in a post regarding F&F wanting more money to collect "a better class " of fuck up . As they obviously have no clue how to stop the drain, Gingrich give it back for being a fucking huge failure. Hell get em all to give their bonus's back until its fixed or dead

Hell get em all to give their bonus's back until its fixed or dead One of the things I have been proposing in GAs is that they come up with a reform that requires departing legislators to sign a non-compete of sorts that bars them from acting as a lobbyist or "Consultant". You'd probably need a law professor with a specialty in contract law to step up and write it so it was completely air tight. But I'd love to see something like that done.

It's as 'ignant' as someone who couldn't get any further past the west gate than the guy calling himself "Jesus", using the term 'potus'. My brother once introduced Jesus to Lincoln and it was his opinion that they went off and had a stimulating conversation.

If you try and change the system, the system will defend itself. Neither party will allow you to do it. It's the only way they know.

It seems the most intelligent of the intelligentcia says that to air all this dirty laundry now in the primaries will deflate the effect when it comes to the general.
