Gingrich begins the debate Romney in the Republican Party of Florida

Signed a Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich on the rise as a "seller of influence" and connoisseurs of shame in Washington debate Monday night the former governor of Massachusetts tried to revive his place among the voters of Florida before the primary vote next week.

Gingrich, former Speaker of the House who knows both his candidacy and raising the good results during the debate, has taken the lead in the Sunshine State, and polls show, although it was quieter in the last debate.

Romney, however, I managed to land powerful blows Gingrich, once criticized by the Speaker of the House, and accused him of influence peddling lobby after he left Congress.

Romney tied in the hour after the attack publicly Gingrich contract with Freddie Mac, government sponsored enterprises, which paid $ 1.6 million as a consultant.

"We have learned just today that was provided with Freddie Mac in the hands of pressure groups in the Freddie Mac," said Romney. "I do not think you can maybe restore the White House if the person leading our party is the person who was working to pressure the president of Freddie Mac Freddie Mac was paying $ 1.6 million President Gingrich at the same time, Freddie Mac cost in the millions of people in millions of dollars in Florida. "

Blame Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, another mortgage giant government-sponsored, by economists to assist in the creation of a housing bubble that took place at the end of the day in the economy in places like Florida, destroyed the market strong housing.

Gingrich insisted he had no pressure, but was hired as a consultant and historical knowledge in Washington.

Romney and Gingrich accused of not telling the truth, and even the Republican Party, said the former presidential candidates Mike Huckabee and Sen. John McCain, who supports Romney now, and accused him of lying.

"We have an announcement as John McCain and Mike Huckabee in 2007 and 2008 shows how much I think Governor Romney can not tell the truth," said Gingrich, calling the accusation "and the worst kind of petty politics."

Romney did not back down, but noted that instead of the house, lawmakers from both parties try to reprimand Gingrich for violation of ethics.

"The speaker was a chance to be the leader of our party in 1994, after four years, and was forced to resign in shame," said Romney.

Gingrich resigned, who led the Republican takeover of 1994, the House of Representatives, the Speaker of Parliament, and left the conference after losing GOP seats in 1998 elections.

Gingrich said he resigned to take responsibility for electoral losses. But Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, who served in the House of Representatives when it was Gingrich, Gingrich said the departure was not voluntary.

"He did not have the votes [to keep the language]," said Paul, who participated in the discussion, but not actively campaigning in the state of Florida. "This is what was the problem, so this idea that he did not comply voluntarily and that was to be punished because we have not done well in elections, and this is not just what it was."
