First, we do not know if he broke any laws at this point.

Second, he and or his firm was paid by Freddie Mac to do something. We can agree on that, can’t we?

Third, a leftist politicized Freddi Mac (along with Fannie May) were directly complicit in the mortage scam.

Fourth, Freddie Mac continues the bad behavior.

Fifth, Newt’s refusal to answer questions about his specific Freddie Mac involvement means there is something he hopes to hide. If all was sunshine and above board why the obfuscation? This is very similar to his “inexplicable” explanation for sharing a love seat with Pelosi. This is what the arrogant political elite do when the little people ask too many questions.

Sixth, I just love the argument that what Newt may have done is not illegal. Well, abortion is legal in this country, but there are many of us who are morally opposed to it. Because something is legal does not mean it is morally ok. Ya’ll do remember the morality concept, don’t you? It’s part of what this country special.

Newt may not be a Marxist. But he is as a big government, elitist, professional politician. He is part of the reason we have a Marxist regime in Washington.

I will not vote for the man under any circumstances. Isn’t it time we try some new faces? Newt is status quo. Maintaining the satus quo is killing America.

You think Newt is bad, take a penetrating look at the corrupt Governor of Texas, Rick Perry. He’s as much a RINO as Mitt Romney!

Newt is why we won a majority in the 1990s...him and Rush.

He ain’t perfect, but he is better by far than Hussein.

Sanctimony is unappealing and unattractive

Patting your own back can cause rotatory cuff pain

I also disagree with just about everything you said.

First: Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Second: Newt has said he was paid as a consultant, so yes we know he was paid to do consulting work.

Your third and fourth point, I agree.

Fifth: Newt has answered questions about Freddie Mac. You stated “If all was sunshine and above board why the obfuscation?” This is a leftist tactic to cast doubt on the truth of what a person said. They tried the same with Herman Cain.

Sixth: I do not believe being a capitalist and working for a living in the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness is morally equivalent to killing babies.

Since Reagan, Newt Gingrich has done more for the conservative movement than any other person, bar none. The people of the United States who voted the Marxists into power are the ones who are responsible for the Marxist regime in Washington.

If Newt becomes our candidate, and you refuse to go to the polls and pull the lever for him, you are just as guilty of keeping the Marxist regime in power as the ones who pull the lever for Barak Obama.

“Newt may not be a Marxist.”

Thanks for sharing that insight.

Really? The reports so far have indicated that Newt has a confidentiality agreement with Fannie. Such confidentiality agreements are said to be pro forma for these types of contracts. A confidentiality agreement would tend to hinder one's ability to "answer questions about his specific Freddie Mac involvement."

As I understand it, Newt can request from Freddie to be released from parts, or all, of the confidentiality agreement. However, he can't demand it and it's up the Freddie to agree. I've seen reports and the interview with Greta that Newt was working to do just that. We'll see.

To the larger point - I don't think anybody cares about this so called scandal. It's got the legs of a fish.

Interesting conclusion you come to. Seven years ago I ran a consulting company (computer software). We were grossing about 260K a year. I could not tell you in detail what we did to earn that money. I recently went back to the records to get information for my lawyer, and it took weeks of research to put it together. My memory was wrong even to the number of people we had on the payroll.
