Gingrich says he received Freddie Mac compensation - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/gingrich-says-received-freddie-mac-compensation-155709459.html)

I love Newt. Flat out lie saying he wasnt a lobbiest and now has to come clean.

Then stomp against an agency you were stratetgizing for...

Did not see one thing in that article that said he was a lobbiest.

No, he was a sub-contractor for a lobbyists getting paid 25k-30k a month. What do you think he did for them for that kind of money? I think he was delivering high class hookers to high powered clients.

"Gingrich's history at Freddie Mac began in 1999, when he was hired by the company's top lobbyist, Mitchell Delk. He was brought in for strategic consulting, primarily on legislative and regulatory issues, the company said at the time. That job, which paid about $25,000 to $30,000 a month, lasted until sometime in 2002.

In 2006, Gingrich was hired again on a two-year contract that paid him $300,000 annually, again to provide strategic advice while the company fended off attacks from the right wing of the Republican Party."


Yeah I dont get anything that says lobbyist from those facts.

Think im gonna watch the CNN debate tonite. Cant wait to see how the new front runner does, Newt Dogg. Newt Dogg is gonna have to regulateeeeeee

Ive seen bits and pieces of previous debates, but sat down and really watched the foreign policy debate because I think foreign policy shows who really knows their sh*t when it comes to being president. Couple things stood out, first, Newt Dogg did much better than I anticipated. I agree with his position on illegal immigration which wasnt popular with the crowd or other candidates. Mitt Romney is a smart guy, you can really see improvement from his previous run. He doesnt bring a whole lotta original ideas but hits every key point popular within the party.

Herman Cain and Rick Perry are lost, outta touch foreign policy-wise and its not close. I think Rick Perry could be retarded, something is wrong with him, he doesnt look genuine in any response. He gets off on making outlandish statements which play to GOP, Tea party nuts, but ideological are ridiculous and shows a lack of knowledge. Cain seemed to be bullsh*ting almost every answer and when that wouldnt work he would simply say "I would ask the experts" or something to that affect. Dude your suppose to be the expert.

Ron Paul is good for the field, will make solid points which keep the others honest, but of course sounds crazy with other points (ie "let Israel take care of themselves, they have nukes", did Paul just advocate using nukes in the mid east?)

Bachmann and Huntsman should probably get out, they bring little. Santorem was better than expected.
