    Bachmann has already begun the first volley of attacks against Newt.

    Lol, I just love republican field. Once someone does good in the polls some skeletons in the closets are getting discovered... I guess we already know how it is going to roll. First he will say this is all lies, then he will blame left, then he will say that he was not aware, then he will say that he didn't mean it, oops.

    its hilarious how some refuse to attack the other candidate.....even when they get in striking distance in the polls.

    its as if they have a gentlemens agreement who isnt really running, so dont go after them and they wont go after you.

    Newt responded to the media as if the entire republican field is running for president against Obama lol

    It's incredible... they ignore massive corruption in the Democratic Party that makes Newt look like a Choir boy and expect to be received with credibility.

    1. Newt did not "TAKE" anything... there is a difference when you "EARN" something and "TAKE" it. I know this is lost on Liberals who are parasites that take by nature, but there is a big difference.

    2. Newt offered real world counsel and advice by the accounts that Freddie Mac IGNORED. Newt told them to stop their "INSANE" practices, which they ignored. Had Freddie Mac LISTENED to Newt, this whole country would be in a better place.

    This attempt to bash Newt for him providing a service is weak sauce.

    This is NOT a values question. This is NOT a campaign contribution. This is getting paid for work. You should learn the difference.

    LOL ... let the liberal children have their romp in the mud. Newt's firm provided a service, and was paid for such. They did not make any executive decisions for FF, were not paid to make decisions for FF, much less did they receive bonuses, etc.

    I see how it went through:

    Freddie: Newt, we need an advice.
    Newt: What are you doing?! You will crash your company!
    Freddie: Thank you! Where do we transfer 1.6 million?

    It's nice to see that you believe the proven corrupt Freddie Mac parasites that Newt told to "STOP" their "INSANE PRACTICES".

    Hey look... I can do big fonts too!!!! :twisted:

    The services were over an 8 year period.

    You missed a few things...

    This transpired over 8 years and involved far more interaction and work.

    Freddie Mac failed to follow his sage advice.

    Funny noone mentioned Newt in the countless Fannie and Freddie topics in the past. Now he's a threat to Obama, start getting that dirt.


    Predictable.
