As a "historian,"...exactly what kind of economic advice would a historian be able to provide that anyone would much care about, let alone pay a million or so bucks for......

Mr. Gingrich added in that interview that there are times "when you need government to help spur private enterprise and economic development."

Really? If he somehow got elected do you think he would ever stop surprising us with his off the plantation remarks and actions?

Lets say his Newts company was paid $1.7 million over the nine years. That comes out to $189,000 per year. With overhead and salaries to pay etc. I don’t see where Newt made any big money on the deal. It looks to me like he was paid for consulting not lobbying as the RINO’s are saying. If everything is on the up and up I don’t see the big deal. Newt was running a private enterprise. Go Newt.

nothing wrong with the article itself but can you fix the headline? Apparently it used an illuminated G for Gingrich which didn’t transcribe.

I’d like to be paid a $100,000 per lobster lunch to consult about “history”, to Freddy, like Newt.

But I’d much more prefer to fly to Hawaii with my daughters for $200,000 so my husband could fly a few days later for another $300,000.

Which plane is Bo on? Or is that a third poopy plane?

Newt Gingrich had a consulting contract with Freddie Mac. Why are some Republicans upset about someone working for themselves, and making money at it?

We’re all forgetting who made the banks - SUED THEM - give these loans...the media hopes we won’t remember - and guess what?

WE AREN’T

How about we get to the root of it - of what F&F said to Newt about the new approach ‘ This is what the GOVERNMENT wants us to do. WHY did the GOVERNMENT tell them to do it? Who was involved? see the last link if you don’t look at anything else.

Let’s see how many will recognize the truth here and how many will keep using the media/Establishment narrative to help clear the way for mittens. Tell the WHOLE story or sthu.

Here we go again. ;o)
Please, at least let’s us Freepers know and tell the truth...

Newt was hired as a consultant when the bank were looking for a way to help people learn how to work, to save and to buy a house - then the process took a turn when the banks got sued and made to adopt the sub-prime loans - giving, ‘gifting’ not ‘low income’ but even ‘no income’, no credit loans.

Newt’s advice - “that’s insane...”

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/11/15/gingrich-fires-back-at-lobbying-charge/

Now, dig back to just WHO it was that made the banks give those loans? Was it Newt? hardly. Was it the banks? They didn’t want to do it.

Does Acorn and CRA strike a bell? The banks were taken to court on the charge that they were “Redlining (denying poor people loans because of their ethnic heritage)...”

Starting to get the drift?

And who was their lawyer that took it to court? Can you handle the truth?

The WSJ is owned by Murdoch as is Fox News. Is it any wonder that they are attacking Newt and in the tank for Willard? And dumbass Republicans across the nation are doing the same thing they did in 2008: backing down and accepting the media's candidate.

Willard will lose and we get Fo' Mo' Years of Marxism.
