Hello John,   
      
   >JM>I say your claim that Southwire contributed $1.3 billion   
   >JM>(per year) to Gingrich Is total Bullshit. Not only that I   
   >JM>say you knew that when you posted it.   
      
   >LL>It is not my claim,   
      
   >JM>You posted it, you claim it.   
      
   >LL>I did not write or post the web site. Somebody else did that.   
   >LL>I did cite the web site, however.   
      
   JM>So you believe Cite that claims a company paid more to one   
   JM>politician every year than that company made in gross sales   
   JM>each year?   
      
   It is what has been shown, sources detailed on the web site.   
      
   JM>Are you THAT gullible?   
      
   Oh, come now.  The organizations/companies themselves (such as   
   Southwire Corporate) made no donations to Newt Gingrich.  The money   
   came from the company's PACs, individual members, employees, or owners,   
   and their immediate families.  The totals include subsidiaries and   
   affiliates.   
      
   >LL>Which supports my argument that   
   >LL>Southwire Corporate (along with Rupert Murdoch and a few others)   
   >LL>*owns* Newt Gingrich. :)   
      
   JM>All politicians are owned by someone.   
      
   That is why special interest groups *love* Republicans so much.   
      
   JM>Your cite's cite is still BS.   
      
   Sez you.
