Hard to keep your hands out of such a tempting Fig Newt-on cookie jar, isn’t it Mr. Politician?

Sad for Newt to say, with sexual harassment allegations or no Cain looks like an angel compared to this. He’s never been a politician and thus has never committed any political evils like this.

Ha. Being an ethanol lobbyist should get him votes in Iowa and other Big Corn states. Probably why this is printing now.

After giving the media a rough time at all the debates, now it is the media’s turn to return the love.

Sounds like he is the poster boy for corruption in Washington.

I don't know about that. The reason being, who else is there?

I know well all of Gingrich's past. Yet, if this does indeed come down to an election of who's most likely to beat Obama, I can't think of a better bet.

What I do find notable is where the criticisms are mostly coming from the past 48 hours, the Washington Examiner and Bloomberg (news).

That Newt can make as much money in one insider lobbying deal as most people will make in a lifetime doesn’t sit well with a lot of folks out here.

On a side note, when another several million private sector Americans get their employer health benefits slashed, reduced or completely eliminated, and they will, big pharma will be taking a big hit...

Once the older, well taken care of, near fully insured generation all die off...Well, big pharma stock will hit the skids.

So, Gingrich was running a PRIVATE business that hired out to increase other private companies’ chances with the government. Therefore, that means he believed in the goals of the companies he contracted with.

That’s like saying that the Jeffrey Dahmer’s lawyer had to believe like Dahmer did.

Lawyers defend people because that’s their business.
Advocacy companies advocate for other companies because that’s their business.

It’s called: FREE ENTERPRISE.

Like so many who left high government positions, Newt hung around to cash in on his connections and influence. It just that most don’t cash in and then turn around and run for president.

Probably more to come before this chapter is written.

I can not support this guy. I did like him as Speaker back in the day, but I turned out disappointed. Let him work at a think tank or something.

The “Cain Train” continues.........trying to smear every candidate who is not him.

Cain backers mistakenly think his support wanes because of the media. Let me tell ya, folks:

Nobody likes the little brother who roots against all of his older brothers in order to pump himself up. That’s why his numbers have dropped.

I have no use for the “everyone is scum but Herman Cain” crowd and their daily attempts to push liberal smears against accomplished Republicans in the race. Every day for months it has been the same crap. You’re fast running out of people to alienate.

P.S. I’m not supporting your third party push for Herman Cain when the tantrum hits DefCon 5.

The drug industry hires well connected people to lobby Washington DC to support their interests? Say it ain't so!! Next thing you'll be telling us is there's politics going on in DC. It's a damned travesty, I tell ya.

It costs hundreds of millions of dollars and more tan 10 years to bring a new drug to market. More than 90% of all compounds never make it out of clinical trials. Looks like "BIG PHARMA" (it is such a joke for anyone to use that term then pretend to support capitalism) needs to find some better connected lobbyist because they sure aren't getting much bang for their buck from the current crop.

Thanks for your time. Now back to your circular firing squad that will ensure we get four more years of hope and change.
