His campaign has said that he did no lobbying; but his consultancy practice was centered around his ability to help big corporate interests speak the language of Republicans and navigate the corridors of Capitol Hill on issues vital to their businesses.

The media will rake him over the coals for doing what they whole heartedly approve of on the left.
OMG!! OMG!! Capital letters!!
I’d like to believe that we have far better morals than the Left.
I, for one, would like to know how he operated his consulting (lobbying?) business, and with whom he did business and how much - before any primary happens.
I like to know everything possible for casting a vote.
Scrutiny is a good thing. Say, how about applying some to the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave?
“Writing on the Web site of The Washington Post, Mr. Gingrich praised Gundersen Lutheran Health System of LaCrosse, Wis., for its successful efforts to persuade most patients to have advance directives, saying that if Medicare had followed Gundersens lead on end-of-life care and other practices, it would save more than $33 billion a year.”
.................
Well Well, Newt lobbying for DEATH PANELS.
Does anyone ever do any research on candidates before they jump on the bandwagon.
He is supposedly the TEA PARTY DARLING.
Excuse me, when did the Tea Party start supporting the DEATH PANELS?
I am trying to get the current occupant out of the WH, but I don’t want him replaced by a RINO.
So Jeffrey Immelt is one of Newt’s clients?
In DC, they’re all whores.
I still just want to know where our current president was born.
How does Newt expect to win with this kind of baggage?
Gingrich think tank collected millions from health-care industry
What the are we all suppose to do with this? How do I defend him?
Yes, in deed. One of Newt’s client is in fact GE!
General Electric Company - The benefactor of many grants and legislation approved by Congress and of course one of the many mega corporatations that pay nada taxes.
Advanced directives are not “death panels.” The patient, especially terminally ill patients can use them to declare that they do not want to be kept alive by artificial means. They are voluntary and have been around for years. Please do not confuse the two.
We do, but we've got to start fighting fire with fire. We continue to smugly hold the moral high ground against the immoral Leftist guerrilla warriors who are tunneling underneath us, and we're going to get buried. We've got to start fighting effectively, and give up trying to preach morals to the immoral.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
And just how, other than scummy innuendo, does this fact that GE was a client of one of Newt’s companies mpugn Gingrich. Did he break laws? Did the Congress give favoritism to GE because they all love Newt? How is your scummy innuendo supposed to impugn Newt? That he worked to make that evil thing progressives like to hate, money?
You’re kidding, right?
Even Cain made money as a lobbyist.
This whole idea that there is something wrong with being a consultant is insanely stupid.
