Article by Justin Elliott http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/index.html?story=/politics/war_room/2010/08/10/whos_giving_to_newt_gingrich&source=newsletter&utm_source=contactology&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Salon_Daily%20Newsletter%20%28Not%20Premium%29_7_30_110##snip## "Newt Gingrich's ex-wife told Esquire that the former speaker cares more about getting rich than running for president." ## His PAC, American Solutions for Winning the Future would seem to bear that out. Some contributors: American Electric Power - $100,000 Hubbard Broadcating - $100,000 Devon Energy - $250,000 Crane Holdings (real estate) $350,000

1. This is the theme for the entire Right wing in our country - it's a front for the rich. Period. |

I donated to DSCC, DCC, ACLU, etc.
Who donates to The Heritage Foundation???
"Follow the money"?
I only wish the middle class Republicans could "get this" and realize that the other reasons they may support the right wing (racism, homophobia, religious intolerance, etc) are window dresses for the big picture of it being the rich versus the rest of us.
