Bachmann blasts Gingrich over Freddie Mac ties

Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann criticized rival contender and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich over his involvement with the mortgage firm Freddie Mac.

“Fannie [Mae] and Freddie, as you know, have been the epicenter of the financial meltdown in this country, and whether former Speaker Gingrich made $300,000 or whether he made $2 million, the point is he took money to also influence senior Republicans to be favorable toward Fannie and Freddie,” Bachmann said Wednesday after a campaign event in Webster City, Iowa, according to published reports.

Who Knew??!!

Wow... Eating their own already....

"We got $1.6 million... but it wasn't for lobbying... No...Really..."

A politician turned influence into cash?

Good God! Next you're going to be telling me that one of them thought of their next election rather than the good of the people in deciding how to vote on an issue!

It's not that he did it, but that he still continues to deny it (again) when the evidence is there that shows he's lying...(again.)

Trump? Eliminated
Bachman? Eliminated
Perry? Eliminated
Cain? Eliminated
Gingrich? Eliminated

Who is next? Some info about Romney is starting to come out. Seems the Dem who replaced him in the governor's office is going over his record with a fine tooth comb.

Last minute draft of Christie or Jeb Bush? Or Ron Paul blasts through? It could all be for the good in the end if it eliminates all the chaff.

Palin could quit her jury duty excuse and unquit her campaign bus tour.

I like him very much, but he was frozen out early on. Unfortunately the system doesn't truly let us select our candidates.
