HI onyx,
I just watched the last 5 minutes of Face the Nation.
Newt was GREAT, he was asked about money from Fannie and Freddie. He explained he did not receive money directly from them. He has consultant companies and was paid a portion of the money as the head of them.
And then explained his request for more regulations on them.
I am very sure the Newt haters will either distort, lie, or just plain ignore the truth.
Go NEWT!
Exactly so!
Sheiffer gave him time to talk!
GO GINGRICH!!!
Going to repeat myself here believing it should have been addressed by Newt, but Bachmann’s accusation of Newt influencing top Republicans went unanswered. Not that I am opposed to Newt, but he has been thorough in countering/clarifying any points against him, and he missed this one completely.
If Newt was just consulting, fine, if he was using his contacts in Washington to get a favored status for his client(s), that should be clarified by Newt first, and not coming from another source to be used by the media against him at a later time(think October Surprise).
