nice try buddy. while you’re at it, how about bringing up Newt’s unexplained travel and other expenses during the campaign that have yet to be fully disclosed at a satisfactory level as previously reported. Personal donations seem to be going directly into personal accounts.

Santorum running around saying he is not wealthy and is like the rest of US Citizens. This great talk only Christian is lying through his teeth.

I wrote this, and footnoted it to death, to try and appeal to santorum supporters' logic and show them I respected their intellect. So far, it's working a little, but it's hard work...

Sounds like a leftist whacko to me, but if he promotes your agenda, feel free to hop in bed with him. Just don't expect the rest of us to take him seriously.

You'll notice a lot of far left crap coming out of a small group here.

I’m just going to give it to you straight.

When I hear Santorum talk, I don’t trust him. Sure, he’s sort of conservative sometimes, but he mostly sounds like a guy trying to get votes.

It’s very different with Newt. He sounds like he means what he says, really thinks about it and believes it.

Nah...they should just have their credibility evaluated, and their agenda(s) exposed.

Obama just put another lobbyist in his administration.

I’m thinking that’s why this smear on Santorum. Obama was the one who said there would be NO lobbyists in his administration.

but nevermind, this is about smearing Santorum, not facts on Obama. As usual.

I read the link story, and another one, from a later date and it seems pretty clear - Newt’s campaign has a disagreement with the FEC, they have corresponded back and forth, and there was an October 27th date for compliance of requested info. So, I guess that means no verdict so far. I am sure the Washington Times consulted only the most pro-Gingrich experts on the matter. No verdict so far. I’ll wait and see how it turns out.

It’s apparent though, Newt wasn’t raising money for a charity, to help poor children and adults, and then misusing it. So far, that much is clear.

"When I hear Santorum talk, I don’t trust him."

Yeah, like when he said, "As long as I am Speaker of this House, no gun control legislation is going to move in committee or on the floor of this House and there will be no further erosion of their rights.”

Oh wait, never mind. That was somebody else.

I’ve seen your piece around FR, but being a Newt supporter, I didn’t take the time to read it. Until now.

My late father was a veteran of WWII, and few things touch my heart like an old soldier. I liked Santorum pretty well, but not anymore.

Thanks for writing it...I hope it does some good.
