Were their actions the result of love/money or blackmail?

I have difficulty understand why the anti-Newt people would get involved in a concerted effort to torpedo a candidate with lies. Could you expand a bit on the "blackmail" idea. Who would be blackmailing whom?

I have wondered if they are afraid of Newt because he probably knows "too much."

Re
money: contributions to sitting congress critters PAC in exchange for endorsements. Advertisements (Drudge)For all the attention Romney is pointing toward Newt re: lobbyist, Newt knows whose wife, child etc are getting paid to lobby and the unhealthy atmosphere that creates (Lenin: accuse others of the things you are doing)*

Love/hate: It is no secret the Newt upended the establishment in DC last time he was there. Yes, he knows where the bodies are buried. Michael Reagan went into great detail yesterday of the conflict between the Goldwater/Rockefeller republicans. Also * above

There is always so many “relationships” in politics. Who's sleeping to the top with whom. Who's not what they profess to be. Always opens itself to blackmail. Clinton's extra activities were most damaging which of our enemies knew and could blackmail him into a conflicting action for our country. The lobbying also plays here.
