Newt Is Lying about Freddy Mac Contract

Lying is such a strong word, but how else can one explain Newt's comment to John Harwood http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...e-and-freddie/2011/11/10/gIQAYxw28M_blog.html about his resposibilities with Freddie Mac. In November, he told Mr. Harwood, " Every contract was written during the period when I was out of the office, specifically said I would do no lobbying, and I offered advice." See if you can find any such language in the contract just releaed. http://beforeitsnews.com/story/1665...mneys_Freddie_Mac_Fannie_Mae_Investments.html

As long as no one could actually see the contract, Mr. Gingrich could say anything he wished. Conservative GOP members can also be as indifferent to the truth as they wish, but things like honesty should count. Ask his first two wives.

You may recall that during one of the South Carolina debates, he insisted that he offered the news media witnesses including his daughters but also others that the allegations from his second wife about his wanting to maintain his affair with another woman were lies. He offered up his daughters from his first marriage, but no one else was named to refute the charges. He then dramatically insisted that it was all a lie. What was a lie? His six year affair, or was it wanting to stay married while keeping up the affair? Neither of those facts are lies. By the way, how would his pawn-like children or anyone else know what happened.

He says that he found God and was forgiven for his various affairs, so why does he lie about it now? Besides, his god may forgive him, but God doesn't get a vote.

God Speed,

Newt has crossed over into that special place, reserved only for GOP luminaries. Wasilla Sarah's been there. Limbaugh lives there. And, Rupert Murdoch holds the deed.

It's a magical place where badlfaced lying, is actually to one's advantage. It's a place where when you tell a lie and people call you on, the GOP loves you all the more, because those people are picking on you!
 
I just watched Anderson Cooper say that, in fact, Newt's contract specifically precludes lobbying. I still cannot find the language that is supposed to be located on page 14. So, if anyone can cite and post a link, I would appreciate it. I don't want to accuse the man of lying if he isn't.
 
Maybe he did, well get back to you! But really I doubt it, they seem to have more scruples than Newt does.
