CNN reported back in 1999 that Newt’s college course that the Democrats tried to make hay out of in saying it was a major ethics violation was vindicated and proved legitimate by the IRS:

"This just adds credence to what Mark Levin said yesterday, that the Democrats were just trying to get him removed from office because he brought the Republicans back into power."

Romney knows this, yet he continues to mislead and sling mud.

He’s a slug and liar.

CNN wants to resurrect Newt’s reputation just in time to bury Romney in Florida and to cause the Establishment to collapse their support for Romney causing a primal scream to be let out by the Establishment. *They* will race out into wide open spaces seeking another RINO to lasso in order more successfully cut the legs out from under Newt.

CNN advances the theme of the conrolled chaos of Obama vs the panicked chaos delivered by the Republican Party imploding, in open warfare against their base.

I watched that course on TV when it originally aired. It was a great course, and completely non-partisan.

Excellent....... and the video is well worth watching.

One more piece demonstrating that Romney is the liar.

This video along with Romney lying in last nights debate, would make a great commercial.

GO NEWT GO.......

All Republicans who are old enough know this. The 1994 Republican Revolution was devastating to the Dems but the best of times for conservatives.

Like they did with Sarah Palin, Democrats used their standard tactic of dumping over 400 bogus ethics violations on Newt to paralyze the Speaker's office and to bankrupt him personally. Of course it worked because it wasn't long before members of his own party ( Joe Scarborough and friends) started screaming Newt and his "ethics problems" were a distraction and he should go. Just like Sarah, he went, rather than harm the revolution he masterminded.

The New York Times ran front page hit pieces on the "violations" for 62 days in a row. When he was exonerated, it was buried in the back pages.

For his bravery in standing up to the Left after their campaign of obliteration against him, he deserves to be President.

This is a play out of Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. Repeat an untrue meme until the people think it is true.

IMO Newt is setting the MSM and Romney up for exposure. Remember last week when he mention Alinsky? (CNN had a segment on it as the debate started last night)

He called out the media last week and was encouraged by the support of WE THE PEOPLE.

Last night, he warned Mitt: I know what you're doing and it won't work.

Expect him to tie it all together soon and Professor Gingrich will educate the American people regarding how it all fits together.......I hear the Gaelic war-pipes warming up!

Hopefully, the Alinsky references will send ignorant voters to Google.

And maybe Newt will mention that the only class Obama taught that involved the Constitution, was how Alinsky's book could be used against it. Whenever the media claims he "taught Constitutional law" I have to laugh.

The CNN was just a wikipedia version: Who Alinsky was, when it lived, mention of the book and the steps. It did not go into what they were or what their goal was......that being said it was again dragging the bait though the intellectual trailer park.

Newt is just biding his time to lay it all out. He's a masterful teacher. Would have loved to be in his class.

This is one accusation Mittens will have to retract “in disgrace.”

GASP!
Exonerated! By the likes of "The Bill Clinton IRS"!
Guess this story needs burying.
Don't you just love it when Newt tries to educate a few it's high crimes and misdemeanors.
When the left does it is called The Department of Education.
In yo face libs!

Here a Utube link.

So does Santorum know it and he continues to mislead, also. MrSelfRighteous himself!
