Since leaving office in 1999, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has spent much of his time convincing conservatives to support government subsidies for large corporations, reports the Washington Examiner.

In addition to his work as a “strategic consultant” for government-sponsored mortgage lender Freddie Mac, the Examiner reports that tax filings show Gingrich received money from the ethanol lobby.

Green Energy, a lobbying group that works to secure and create government subsidies for the much-criticized ethanol industry, paid the Gingrich Group more than $300,000 as recently as 2009. Unlike most conservative experts on the industry, Gingrich is a staunch advocate of ethanol, an expensive corn-based alternative fuel opposed by many conservatives due to its price tag and incompatibility — at high concentrations — with some modern automobile engines.

Did he so something wrong? I am not (again) a Gingrich supporter. Who are we left with? Cain has been attacked because the left is afraid of him, I'll vote for him in primary, they trashed Palin. I've had it too old to worry, mile mark 70 in a year.

Go read my posting history, I have no interest in further conversation with you.

In other words, you're running away from the truth, like a lot of other folks around here who're infatuated with RINO Newt.

Dream on my friend, dream on.

That's why I told you to go read my history moron. You'll see I haven't made a choice, I am just tired of the same old posters bashing candidate to build up their own.

Especially n00bs!

Yes, Newt would be a perfect candidate for the Dems. Because they can label him as an extreme conservative in order to stir up the middle and the left, while letting all of his numerous RINO activities come out to discourage the conservatives.

And they don’t even need to invent sex scandals. There are plenty of them—enough to make many of Southern Evangelicals stay home and refrain from voting. Especially if they are also reminded of Newt’s support for “a woman’s right to choose,” i.e., abortion.

Newt is probably the weakest candidate out there.

As I said, it would be like the Dems nominating Nancy Pelosi as their candidate 20 years from now and expecting Repubs/Tea Party to not remember what she was like during the Obama administration.

In this case, the Dems may be banking on the fact that their voters who were there during the Clinton administration will still be highly, highly anti-Gingrich.

And, yes, there is a lot of REAL stuff to deal with. Is it insurmountable? No. We could plow through, I expect. But acting as though it doesn't exist so long as it's not posted on FR is not a method.

(While reviewing Newt's record, remember these, one recent, one from 1994? Gingrich's Libya answer (compared to Cain's?) and that cringeworthy little sex kitten thing. A veritable walk down Memory Lane! Ugh.)
