Newt Gingrich had a consulting contract with Freddie Mac. Why are some Republicans upset about someone working for themselves, and making money at it?
But then we fault those who had consulting contracts with Solyndra too. Don’t we? When taxpayer monies are siphoned off even in the form of consulting contracts, it matters. We need to be principled conservatives.
Would you feel the same way if the "consulting" contract would have been with Planned Parenthood?
Ok just to set things straight. Palin was a money grubbing opportunist, but Newt is ?????
It's called "guilt by association", and it's one of the lowest and laziest logical fallacies. Since FM was in the sup-prime mortgage business, and Newt did work for them, then Newt is guilty of FM's indiscretions. Even though many admit right on this thread that they have NO IDEA what he was actually paid for. It's the kind of tenuous tie that a, say, Michele Bachman might use to say Newt was "for partial-birth abortion."
