Newt Exposed...Gingrich's Charity Paid Money to Gingrich's Business
Edited on Tue Jun-14-11 11:39 PM by rsmith6621

************************** ITS GETTING TRACTION FOLKS *****************************

A charity founded by Newt Gingrich paid Gingrich's for-profit company $220,000 over two years, ABC News reports. The non-profit, Renewing American Leadership, was meant to spur conversation about restoring Christian principles in Washington, and mostly did that through letters seeking donations. The list of people who responded to those letters with checks was given to Gingrich--something that would be very valuable to a potential presidential candidate building support early in the campaign. ReAL, as the non-profit is called, also paid full-price for Gingrich's books and DVDs. ABC News asked Gingrich for comment ahead of a speech in New Hampshire, but the candidate would only respond, "I'm not concerned about that. The American people aren't concerned about that. Try covering the speech."

3. Yep...Fools Never Learn
Not sure of how illegal this latest scam is...not to mention creating a large donor list by milking the religious angle. This huckster learned well from his guru Paul Weyrich on how to fleece 'em. Unfortunately for the Gnewster, his ego is his undoing, again. He may have just blown up his own scams cause he had this goofy notion that he could win a nomination yet alone a general election. His latest fall has been a delight to watch.

6. The American people aren't concerned about money laundering?
This kind of activity gets most people sent to prison.
