What gets me if Gingrich is so opposed to the bail out and all, it appears the money he was paid, as well as others, so Fannie Mae could get influence in the government, came from the $169 Billion bail out they got. Gingrich was opposed to the bail out, but it seems he not against getting any of that money for himself.

As asinine an argument as the conservatives who say "If they think taxes should be raised let them donate it themselves". HE wasnt bailed out. HE provided a service. The source of funds to pay him is irrelevant if his company provided value for the service.

You dont think its hypocritical for leftists to wail about Newt Gingriches connection to Fannie or Lobbying etc when team Obama / Team Democrat are packed with former Fannie lobbyists, or executives, all these hated bankers etc

If you dont like the far lefts endless hypocrisy pointed out dig a hole and plant your head in it because thats the only place you might go to avoid being confronted with some of it

He never lobbied for them, thats either ignorance or a lie

And he can criticize them, he can praise them, give them a mixed appraisal, and do so from a position of authority on the matter

Newty`s going to have to prove he wasn`t lobbying/lying.

Shouldn`t be hard to do.

Just open the records and notes and let an investigator(not newty) go through them.We could use newty`s company`s files.

He did after all say,when asked about an investigation..... "bring it".

ORIGINAL: Owner59

That is what he is doing according to him.  The company is going back through the records to figure out and explain what the company was getting paid for and when how much and so on and I already mentioned this earlier.   Not a big deal.

"Better an older wise man than a young fool."

That is not the choice, at least not with respect to Obama (who I certainly did not and do not support) and Gingrich.  The few times I've tried reading his books or attended one of his lectures, Gingrich impressed me as simply another shallow Washington huckster out to make a buck.   He had his chance in the nineties and completely flubbed it with his very ill considered approach to governance.  That he is also old does not mean that he has learned much with the passage of time.  As Paul Krugman recently put it, "Gingrich is a stupid man's idea of what a smart person sounds like."  

Youre an idiot. Gingrich is easily the smartest man in politics today. If I didnt think Romney has a better chance in the general Id be for Gingrich all the way.

And as I recently put it: "Krugman is a smart man's idea of what a fucking socialist moron sounds like".

He earned consulting fees, nothing wrong with that

Amazing ... you're actually positioning yourself so that in the likely event sober republicans come forward and decide to pick a candidate they think represents their core values, that you come out looking like you knew what the fuck you were doing then as well,.

Huntsman is pretty sharp.  And, anathema as this may be to conservatives, Obama was President of the Harvard Review - he's pretty damn smart.

Gingrich is smart as far as others are concerned but stupid in his own life.

quote:

He may be book smart but he has no clue how the real world works. I dont call that smart. And since he wont release transcripts exactly how much of his Harvard career was due to affirmative action is certainl an issue, especially considering how abysmal his performance is.

Gingrich for Prez? His history and morality qualifies him perfectly for Prez of Duplititious Philanderers Society.
