i love rightwingnut loons... they repeat every unsubstantiated rumor about anyone they don't like... no matter where it comes from. they make up things as they go along.

but it doesn't matter one iota what one of their own does.

if this were the president, 10 of their shills would already be spewing their fauxrage all over the board.

and imagine if it were barney frank....

hypocrites.... no wonder no one takes you seriously.

Sounds like Newt may be singing Jailhouse Rock with his buddy Tom DeLay.

Then throw in dodd, frank, pelosi, reid, clinton, and obamaturd. Dimwits are far more crooked.

Shut the fuck up and stick a sock in it Nick. You keep saying the same shit.

like you dont?.....how come you dont get on your buddy Dean when he mentions the same shit over and over?.....like the 9-1 ratio....6% of scientist.....90% of the Republicans are White....are you scared of Dean Flaylo?......he cant hurt you.....OH ....and its FACK....and SHAT......now you can use the Adult words?.....what happened?.....

I've seen no evidence that dean has done that, you have a personal crush or grudge against Dean.

He's angry over a number of things. He called me a liar when I said the Republican Party in Texas are virulently anti gay. He called me a liar when I posted the Republican Party Texas Platform that makes marrying gays a FELONY and they want to remove the sodomy laws so they can go back to prosecuting gays. It's right there in their party platform for everyone to read. These aren't "fringe". This is the mainstream Republican Party that gives us Rick Perry and George Bush. Worse, this platform is from only last year.

He's mad that I said the Republican Party held millions of Americans hostage to force Obama to extend the Bush tax cuts. Either extend the Bush tax cuts or they would let millions of Americans suffer, no problem. I linked to multiple articles from the conservative "Christian Science Monitor" who covered this issue in detail. Obama just couldn't let millions of Americans suffer. Republicans could. Even ones who would be badly affected. They hate Obama that much.

He's angry that the Chamber of Commerce moved millions of jobs to China working with Republicans. He's angry the Chamber gives 9 to 1 to Republicans and if the parties were really the SAME, it would be 50/50.

He's angry that it was Obama that got Osama.

He's angry that Obama was able to pass even a gutted Health Care Bill that helps Americans. Because he hates Obama more than he loves America. Like many Republicans.

He's angry that he can't explain why he hates Obama. He doesn't want to say it's about race because that would be embarrassing.

He's angry because he is involved with a party that applauds hundreds of executions.

All of this makes Harry a very sad and angry person. That's why he lashes out. He may consider becoming a Democrat if he is so unhappy with the terrible things his party is doing and has done.

Newt Gingrich Freddie Mac Fees: Former House Speaker Reportedly Received At Least $1.6 Million From Housing Giant

In recent months, GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has strongly criticized Freddie Mac and sister company Fannie Mae, as well as Democrats in Congress that he claims played a key role in the collapse of the housing market. And yet two former Freddie Mac officials recently told Bloomberg that Gingrich made between $1.6 million and $1.8 million in consulting fees from the mortgage company.

That amount is significantly larger than the $300,000 payment that Gingrich was asked about during a Republican presidential debate on Nov. 9.

The Freddie Mac officials also told Bloomberg that Gingrich was asked to build bridges with Capitol Hill Republicans and help sell the mortgage company's public-private structure to conservatives.

Money talks, bs walks, blame the Democrats, right Newt?

Huffpo, Flaylo? Anonymous sources? You're right BS does walk...

Try Bloomberg and several other sources.
Gingrich Said to Be Paid $1.6M by Freddie Mac - Bloomberg

Newt Gingrich made between $1.6 million and $1.8 million in consulting fees from two contracts with mortgage company Freddie Mac, according to two people familiar with the arrangement.
The total amount is significantly larger than the $300,000 payment from Freddie Mac that Gingrich was asked about during a Republican presidential debate on Nov. 9 sponsored by CNBC, and more than was disclosed in the middle of congressional investigations into the housing industry collapse.
Gingrich’s business relationship with Freddie Mac spanned a period of eight years. When asked at the debate what he did to earn a $300,000 payment in 2006, the former speaker said he “offered them advice on precisely what they didn’t do,” and warned the company that its lending practices were “insane.” Former Freddie Mac executives who worked with Gingrich dispute that account.
Gingrich’s first contract with the mortgage lender was in 1999, five months after he resigned from Congress and as House speaker, according to a Freddie Mac press release.

I'd be very surprised if even one "rightwingnut" steps forward and declares that they give a shit that you don't take them seriously.. Seriously.

 

[NYcarbineer]

I can't imagine any Obama supporter NOT wanting Newt Gingrich to get the GOP nomination.

 

[TruthSeeker56]

The Chamber of Commerce, an organization which receives vast sums of money from Russia, India and mostly China, gives to Republicans 9 to 1 over Democrats. I've linked to this many times. Even (hard to believe) some Republicans are uncomfortable with this fact.
I'm guessing the Democrats that receive Chamber money are the "Blue Dogs" who vote Republican.
Why is it the majority of the people who are "on the take" claim to be Republican and "moral"? Are those the qualifications for Conservatism? Greed and "morals".

Of course, you have plenty of proof, via links and cold, hard facts, to back up your claim that the majority of people who are on the take are Republicans, right?

You're ignorant, a hypocrite, and a liar..........the epitomy of an Obamanista. Congratulatinos!

You KNOW the nation is toast when the best argument PARTISANS can come up with the defend the corrupted behaviors of their team is to say

"But but but...the other side is WORSE!"​

Seriously, are you partisans paid to be that stupid or does this come naturally?

 

[LadyGunSlinger]

I don't even support Newt but 99% of what the press tells you is propaganda - even if its pro or anti your politics.

The truth is all that matters and Obama is one of the biggest corporate sponsors of corporate fascism this country has ever seen - however the media reports the guy as some benevolent leader who implements corporate fascism for the greater good of humanity therefore his demands and passed grants, baliouts and regulations are passed off to the public as some kind of greater good..

Obama has done more damage to this country than any now or in the future.... Obama is easily one of the worst presidents in history bar none.....

Its odd how ignorant progressives believe every word that comes out of his mouth when hes the one throwing taxpayer money at corporations and republicans are blamed...

WTF....

People don't see any of this because they're lazy and rely on their progressive media to tell them what to think and what to believe...

Shut the fuck up and stick a sock in it Nick. You keep saying the same shit.

Truth hurts, doesn't it? Mr. Nick is absolutely right, but you socialist obamaturd butt kissing fools are too stupid to see it. You shut up, commie.

LOL Get em! ;-)

The Solydra claim is pure bullshit that some Tea Party website came up with, at least know the facts before you talk your partisan bullshit.

Read it and read it well dumbass, you partisan fairies look stupid, none look more stupid than you.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

I thought you lefties kept saying Freddie and Fannie did nothing wrong and played no part in the housing bubble? Now all the sudden ties to them are a negative? Make up your damn minds. Or is it too much to expect you to take a position and hold it?

New e-mails released Tuesday prior to Energy Secretary Steven Chu’s testimony before a congressional investigative committee on Solyndra, reveal that the Obama administration urged their failing clean energy poster child to keep firm layoffs quiet until after the 2010 midterm elections.
