So you want a president who has been voted 395-28 by his peers to be fined for a violation in ethics?



I see..

Quote:

The response from Gingrich to this threat should be a demand to unseal all of the records from that investigation, which did result in a $300,000 fine for submitting “inaccurate” information to the Ethics Committee about his tax-exempt organization and politicking.  However, a subsequent IRS investigation cleared Gingrich of any wrongdoing, which somewhat undermines Pelosi’s threat.  Early exposure would defuse that threat entirely and allow Gingrich to take the high road, while emphasizing that all of this took place over a decade ago.  If the House won’t release the documents after Gingrich calls for it, then any subsequent leak will look mighty partisan and unfair, and could run the risk of a big backlash against Democrats.






From the hyperlink above:

Quote:

In a case involving the ethics violations that led the House of Representatives to reprimand former Speaker Newt Gingrich in 1997, the Internal Revenue Service has cleared a private foundation close to Mr. Gingrich of breaking tax laws.

The I.R.S. ruling, in favor of the Progress and Freedom Foundation, does not directly exonerate Mr. Gingrich. But it suggests that he did not illegally use tax-exempt money for political purposes, one of the main accusations against him.




The whole thing was partisan bullshit.  But you keep right on going..............

I just felt a tingle up my leg:

Quote:

“Well I’ll give you an example I’m looking for,” Gingrich said. “I believe we have to overhaul the State Department very dramatically. I think we need a secretary of state who is tough-minded and who would represent American interests. I think that Ambassador Bolton represents that kind of person.”

Yeah newt was advising fannie and freddie BEFORE the takeover my bad.

thats hardly any better though.

and they did listen to him otherwise why hire him?

i read he may have been hired in part to diffuse republican criticism of fannie and freddie.

is that who you want as president?

a fannie and freddie supporter and profiteer who bleaches his asshole and bills the taxpayer?
