"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.

Too bad they didn't listen to him.

Dont you know the liberal meme? Adding more threads on an irrelevant topic makes it relevant?

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.

That's the reason no one will pick him for vp if he doesn't win the nomination. 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.

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.

meme... what a fucking bullshit term.

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.

Most politicians are long since corrupt by the time they get to the state level. 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.
