Gingrich May Have Unlikely Ally in Obama on Lobbying
New York Times ^ | 11/17/2011 | Michael Shear

Posted on 11/17/2011 12:59:15 PM PST by wolfman23601

Newt Gingrich explains away his work for the Freddie Mac mortgage giant by insisting on the rather fine distinction that he was never, officially, a registered lobbyist.

And on that point, he has the intellectual — if inadvertent — support of an unlikely ally: President Obama.

Anyone really think the 70%+ of Americans upset with how things are going in the US now are going to rush out to vote for a guy like Newt who says

"Hey Vote for ME! I am a proud Establishment Insider"!

He was not a lobbyist, but that doesn’t matter when you’re trying to lynch someone by innuendo and lies. Discuss? Bwahahahaha, the promoters of the circular firing squad love that sort of naivete.

Do you ever post positive things about your perfect candidate? And whom do you believe is your perfect candidate? You never answer those questions. I wonder why?

I am not a big fan of Newt but there is a huge difference between a consultant and a lobbyist. Check the dictionary.

Cain, on the other hand, was a lobbyist for the National Restaurant Association. Oddly enough, it was during those 3 or 4 years that all his bimbo eruptions occurred - so I’d say it’s not a morally healthy profession.

What better evidence could you get for your exoneration than a shoddy NY Times hit piece like this?

LOVE the way the same Freepers who could not wait to pimp every accusation, smear and attack on Cain now what to scream about "circular firing squads".

Funny how that standard was never applied when they all where helping the media lynch Cain.

I am sure any one who is part of the DC beltway elite would know the difference between lobbying and consulting; and would be able to maneuver through those differences quite deftly.

Look through my posting history you lying scum. If you find me trashing Herman Cain, I’ll apologize. I know I haven’t. You’re a scummy circular firing squad promoter.

I see so DON'T try to stop the GOP Establishment from nominating McCain 2.0 in 2012. Don't try to stop the GOP Establishment from repeating the disaster of 2008 in 2012.

No no just join the rest of the GOPbots in mindlessly worshiping at the shrine of St Newt.

“Do you ever post positive things about your perfect candidate? And whom do you believe is your perfect candidate? You never answer those questions. I wonder why?”

Oh wow, my 10 year old can come up with better come backs then that pathetic nonsense you post

How about you try making a rational factual response to the question?

You really think the 70%+ of Americans upset with how things are going in the US now are going to rush out to vote for a guy like Newt who says

“Hey Vote for ME! I am a proud Establishment Insider”!

The best way to deal with these smear operatives is when they post something they think is factual, refute it. Most of the time they just rant and insult, that I ignore.

If any one thinks Sarah Palin is hated by the left, just wait until Newt becomes the nominee. Newt will energize the left more than any other candidate running.
