What's more telling is Gingrich himself has called for the imprisonment of those who have profited from companies like freddiemac, that was until it was discovered that he himself has profited from them, he quickly said he got only 300,000 as a historian before the truth was later revealed to be 1.8M. Gingrich is a washington insider and no matter how much history he can impressively put into his brain, he seems to only forget HIS own history, Gingrich nomination=easy Obama reelection.

Brit Hume is exactly right; Newt has gotten to where he is in the polls by pretending to be what they call "the Nice Newt." It's easy to be "nice" when no one is attacking you since you aren't worth attacking (everyone knows you don't "hit down" only up). But Newt is who he is and it's better that the real Newt is on full display sooner rather than later. This way he can validate what all his former colleagues have said about him, and show us exactly WHY the Speaker was booted in disgrace.

......the negative and detrimental impact that FreddieMac ended up having on the housing market was a DEVIATION FROM what Newt was trying to persuade them do in the first place!

......the negative impact that FreddieMac ended up having on the housing market was a DEVIATION FROM what Newt was actually trying to get them to do in the first place. The manner in which liberal media is trying to twist, spin and associate Newt with FreddieMac is grossly inaccurate and amounts to propaganda.

Where many of you are wrong is in the precise nature of the consulting advice and counsel that Newt provided FreddieMac. He primarily provided a voice on that board that challenged them in how to effectively inform Americans about the housing market so that they could make informed decisions. He also tried to get them to focus upon how to provide more tutorial information on how middle-class families could effectively and responsibly manage their money in an overall sense.

Perry still might have a shot. He has governed over the state that has created 40% of the jobs in this country in the last two years. yeah, I know the guy can't debate. But I want someone who can properly govern and create jobs vs someone who can speak well. We already have a great debated in the WH. Unfortunately, that's all he can do.

Gingrich's stupid comments about Palestinians are clear evidence of his ignorance of history and he should not be running for president. Instead, he should be featured on Cheaters TV series for his extramarital affairs while leading a campaign to remove Clinton from the presidency office for the same offense . He has no ethics and a pathetic layer, Hypocrisy is rampant among many republicans and they will do anything to win the Jewish vote, they are willing to sell America to get there.
