Newt is a fraud. In 2006 he was paid $300,000 by Freddie Mac to lobby for them in preventing pressure to reform it from conservatives call to do so! Right before the economic collapse and housing market fiasco led by Fannie & Freddie! Newt was telling Congress that everything is ok from Freddie and now with him riding a Tea Party wave is asking to reform Fannie and Freddie AFTER he got paid to defend and after the housing market collapse! I get sick and tired of people defending Newt and his “mistakes”

I’ve seen you post this in two different threads. How about a link to back it up?

Newt would make a hundred times better president than any of the other pretenders out there, including Herman Cain, who I like.

But Cain would be swallowed alive in Washington, and not even know. We need someone who knows the ropes.

Nwt, Cain, and Ron Paul are the only ones running as themselves and not “I’m not Romney”. But Ron Paul is Ron Paul, and Cain is Cain, and there’s the problem...

Nobody’s defending him...but looking at where we are...who we have to vote for and most don’t expect perfection in a candidate.

Just like those still trying to make issue over the sofa affair with Pelosi...keep stroking the old stuff and never coming up to par with anything which took place after that...

Most have determined Newt can hit the ground running...take on Obama in a heartbeat...knows how to manuver the Congress to get them to act...and of course he’ll make some mistakes...most do because they have to constantly dodge hardballs in Washington...some are going to hit.
