GINGRICH IS THE ONE WHO STARTED IT ALL--I MEAN nasty attack politics, saying very nasty untrue things about others. One of his wives was once quoted as saying that he confessed at home that what he says in public is not necessarily meant to be true--but he says it anyway. This is serious character issue we should all be worried about as related to someone seeking the nation's highest office. Now Gingrich is feeling the heat--and he is sweating profusely. What goes around comes around. The next chapter we are all waiting for is when he will appear in one of our courts for some of his fraudlent dealings--before those judges he been attacking. I bet they will have a field day. He can expect a maximum sentence under the law if convicted!

Eighty-four ethics charges were filed against Speaker Gingrich during his term, including claiming tax-exempt status for a college course run for political purposes. However we say it, Mr. Gingrich is all about the money. In a recent story, “Gingrich was ask to return the estimated $1.6 million he received for providing strategic advice to Freddie Mac, the quasi-government agency (an agency that has lost millions) that guarantees home mortgages. Gingrich has said he acted as a historian, not a lobbyist”. A “historian”, is that the history of greed? He may just sell you a book on it!
