For all the detractors of Newt, what about his actual record?
He managed with some help to create the first conservative house in 40 years. He managed with all his faults to create 4 balanced budgets in a row. He managed to get Clinton to sign a welfare reform bill that actually worked. I mean if your a conservative I don't know how you can vote for anyone else currently running.
There is absolutely no truth to the rumor he is a lobbyist he never went before congress or any member to support freddie or fanny. Please enlighten me.
Can't pick a best answer there aren't any that addressed the question.

He was paid 1.6 million from Freddie Mac. They helped create the housing crisis that lead to our current economic collapse.
As a lobbyist for Freddie Mac he was one of the people that prevented a thorough investigation of their financial health and maintained the status quo.
He is the ultimate Washington insider. That makes him part of the problem, not part of the solution.

He was also a lobbyist. Remind me again why I should trust him.
