Most strong supporters of Newt Gingrich know that his official campaign site is newt.org , however if you are unaware of this, you may just type in newtgingrich.com. Boy oh Boy, is this site the total different perspective than the actual campaign site. American Bridge 21st Century, a "progressive research and communications organization committed to holding Republicans accountable for their words and actions", claims full responsibilty for this site. As going with their mission statement, they intend to expose Gingrich for who he truly is.
I just recently logged onto the site and was instantly directed to freddiemac.com. As everyone knows, Gingrich once did consulting for this big-name quasi-government mortgage agency. He has received much fire from opponents, for instance Romney insisted that he return the money that he received from Freddie Mac.
Then after refreshing the page, I was redirected to http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2011/12/gingrichs-campaign-still-looks-awful-lot-book-tour/45977/ , which talks about his promotion of his latest book and how his campaign seems alot like pure advertisement for his book.
There are a few other links that newtgingrich.com will send you too according to the article, This should be an interesting site to watch and I am very interested in seeing how Gingrich will react to this site, if he will act at all.

A few things you MAY not have known about Huntsman, Jon Huntsman
Jon Huntsman is far from your avergage presidential candidate. He seems to have some interesting, quirky things about him. Maybe this will help him seem more relatable to the public. What other president is the son of the guy who's company created the packaging for Big Macs? We definitely do not have many Mormons running for presidency. Imagine your president riding his Harley with a Taco in hand?. That's Huntsman. Not to mention his diverse family, including Asha Bharati, whom he and his wife had adopted from India, and Gracie Mei, who was abandoned in a Chinese vegetable market before being adopted.
2. Doesnt really like Campaigning or Communiting
According to a 1994 Forbes story (following George H.W. Bush's defeat), when many thought that Huntsman would go back to Utah to run for congress, Huntsman stated "A commuter lifestyle didn't appeal to me..Nor did the campaign process." . Interesting that he's running for president now, maybe he just doesnt like the congress campaign process.
3. His 2005 Christmas Tree was honoring our troops.
Huntsman and his wife asked for the spouses of those in the Utah National Guard, to decorate the christmas tree in the governors office. The tree was adorned in framed photos of fallen military service members, a pair of boots still sandy from the Iraqi desert, a helmet and a flak jacket. When asked about this by the NY Times , Huntsman replied " "We could have had Santa Claus, But to us, this was the most poignant way to celebrate the meaning of Christmas: a time of service, sacrifice and peace." .. Quite honorable Huntsman, Quite Honorable.
I have a feeling there's alot more about Jon Huntsman, that we have yet to uncover...

Christmas for Gingrich : No Harsh Attacks
December 15--With the winter holiday season soon approaching, it seems as though Gingrich managed to ice skate his way past the harsh criticism that is often present with the debates. Yes, of course he faced some attacks (It wouldnt be a debate if he didnt) , but it was NOTHING compared to the criticism he dealt with during the december 10th debate. During the December 10th debate, Gingrich's personal life was attacked as Rick Perry stated "If you cheat on your wife, you'll cheat on your business partner. It's a characteristic people look at."
Could Gingrich's last of criticism have something to do with one of his rival opponents Romney being absent from the Debate? Without Romney being present, Bachmann chose to be the emcee of Gingrich's roast. She states that while many are trying to shut down the giants under the name of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Gingrich "had his hand out to influence senior Republicans to keep the scam going ". Gingrich soon fired back by stating that she had her facts all wrong.
Gingrich also blocked the attacks by receiving applause from the audience about his idea to abolish the courts of activist judges, Towards the end of the debate, the moderators helped Gingrich as well by making candidates defend negative attacks on each other and giving Gingrich a chance to talk about his positive campaign
Guess Gingrich had his skates on for this debate... Now onto the Caucuses for Iowa.

Hannibal Lecters of The Republican Party
Everyone knows that politics is colder than the artic circle, but when is enough , enough?.
It seems as though our candidates are more concerned with what their opposers didn't do right, than what they themselves can do right. The American people do not want to see mudslinging and bloodshed on the debate floors, but we want to see our politicians talking about things that are vital to the success of our country. This article speaks on how mudslinging can actually harm you as well. The example used is Newt Gingrich and how with his mudslinging came poll rates dropping. With these cannibalistic candidates, taking bites at others who they deem poisionous, they contract the poison as well. This poison leads to their demise.

Gingrich : "“go get a job. Right after you take a bath"
Last night, (December 7th), Newt Gingrich encountered some occupy protesters after they crashed a presidential fundraiser of his. Although they were unable to get up close and personal with Gingrich, however they held a rally outside. Gingrich has a history of not being the biggest fan of the protestors. Last month in Iowa, Gingrich stated. "“go get a job. Right after you take a bath" . Harsh words . Harsh Harsh words Mr. Gingrich. Guess, he hasnt noticed how many jobs arent available for the many Americans who protest the income disparity. The protestors also have a history of their own, as they have conducted sit-ins at congressional offices and had shut down K street, known for lobbying trade, in DC. Seems both sides feel strongly on the matter in which they represent. `Funny when a man running for president wants to debate those who consider themselves "The 99%".

Immigration: A Hot Topic rising over the border
With prominent topics such as the economy, unemployment rates, Occupy movements and income disparity at large ; It seems as though immigration has fell to the wayside , however immigration ties right in with these other huge topics. Immigration has been a hot topic of controversy for the GOP Candidates. From Perry to Cain to Gingrich ; It seems like everyone has their separate opinions and resolutions for the immigration issue.
Gov. Rick Perry signed the 2001 Texas Dream Act which allows Texas students to pay in-state tuition even if they were illegally brought to America. When Perry’s GOP opponents opposed this act, Perry fired back stating that they lack a heart. Of course with this dropping his polls, He apologized. It’s quite funny and ironic , yet not surprising , that Perry supports his own Texan bill but opposes the bill that allows these students to become legal citizens. Okay, so give the taxpayers money for an education for students who aren’t even allowed to be apart of our country, thus meaning they cant pay any tax?. Makes sense, at least to Perry.
Herman Cain isn’t any better by wanting to implement an electric fence on the border to kill anyone attempting to climb it. Okay, so electricute the people trying to get a free education in Texas thanks to Perry?. Good Job Cain. Oh it’s a joke? that’s just what we need, a President who makes jokes about killing immigrants. Oh its not a joke?. Mr. Cain, which is it?.
Newt Gingrich, wants to allow some immigrants who have been in the country for 25 years to become legal residents (in order to not separate them from their family), but not citizens. When comparing him to the other two candidates previously mentioned, Gingrich seems pretty sensible, or at least coherent.
