No, he just turned over the country to Øbama.

If you want to believe that Freddie paid Newt $300K, or $1.6 million, or whatever, for his "advice as a historian" go for it. The story is not credible and everyone who has come forward from Freddie denies it. Newt should have just explained why he really got the money, his advice on manipulating Congress to see things Freddie's way, and been done with it. It was not illegal and Newt was definitely not hostile towards Freddie at the time.
There, fixed it for ya. I was 'personality cult blindness' that elected the POS we have in the WH now - It would hope we don't repeat it. We don't the luxury of time for another on-the-job-learning POTUS.
We need someone with experience and gravitas to hit the ground running...
Reality check.
We have what we have - for candidates.
None of hem are the choice/s I as hoping for - but there we have it.
Last election, a man got elected by ‘personality cult’ voters. How’s that working out for ya.
We can’t afford that again. We don’t have the luxury of time for a POTUS to learn on-the-job. We need someone who can hit the ground running - or this country will go over the cliff.
sometimes, we either accept the realities on the ground - some folk stick their holier than thou nose so high in the stratosphere with a false estimation of their superiority, intellectuality and “I am a Christian” (while displaying the opposite) they don’t even notice the nose bleed. Nose bleeds can be fatal.
(end of responding to your ignorance and false assumptions)
” or services as a historian, according to Newt the other night...”
We need an historian to refinance apartment buildings, and non conforming single family homes ?
For 1.6 million ?
ROTFLMFAO !
If Newt made recommendations, they should be released for us to see. If he told Freddie and Fannie that they were headed for disaster..then he earned his money and we should be applauding. Publish his recommendations.
If Newt was hired as a consultant, who owns the work product, Gingrich or Freddie Mac? Can Newt even release it?
PT82, I can vouch for Rabscuttle385. The idea he would support McCain or Romney is laughable.

Laughable is right.....aw hell ROTFLOL !
Quote: “No doubt Romney’s strategy is to “stay above the fray”, while all the “conservative alternates” emerge and fade as they take a beating in the national spotlight. That seems to be working pretty well for Romney at this point but the problem is not conservatives beating up conservative candidates (these candidates will get the hell beaten out of them by the media in the general election so they better learn to survive the scrutiny in the primary).”
You do realize that the only reason Romney is staying “above the fray” is because the left (including the Media) wants him as our candidate, right? They bash the conservative leaving Romney untouched in the hopes of taking out every candidate making Romney the de facto choice. Once again the MSM is trying to choose our candidate. You think what is coming out about Newt, Cain and Perry now is bad, wait until you see the Romney show.
Irregardless of either primary or general election strength I’d go Bachmann then Cain then Santorum. Cain is the only one currently polling viably.
I’m not sure where to rank Gingrich. Certainly not worse than Romney or Huntsman. Though unlike you I didn’t meet him so I can’t speak to your personal impressions of him. He does drip arrogance but most of them do.
But clearly just like with Perry as nice as the all positive spin version of Newt is, reality paints a different picture. Just count the flip-flops. Hard to trust the guy.
The Cain/Gingrich ticket meme, I don’t get why so many people parrot it. Groupthink. With these BS sexual allegations the last thing Cain would need is Newt’s divorce drama.
An irrelevant aside but I don’t like how Newt tends to mispronounce America/American. Sounds like he says AmURica.
There are times when you need to look beyond face value, but this wasn’t one of them. Rabscuttle385 was addressing truth, and not fooling around because of a hidden agenda.
