    Well, when you get a few waivers from the Ethics committee...

    It wasn't even a fine, SINGULAR. You don't know what it was for, and 83 out of 84 trumped up charges dropped. The IRS ruling in his favor, the FEC ruling in his favor.

    What do you mean waivers, the charges were summarily dropped for lack of evidence and the IRS and FEC said no foul.

    Explain what you think the one charge was for.

    Right, just like anyone that makes their constituents pay for other peoples healthcare. Or someone that tells a government entity how to defraud the American people. And same with anyone that is willing to push our beliefs upon another sovereign nation who is backed by the largest standing military in the world. Same with the people that are homophobes and social totalitarians that will deny others the same rights as everyone else through their own actions. They deserve to be president over the guy that lent out his name and didn't MICROmanage a paper while he was delivering babies to thousands of women. Yeah, he is such the worse choice.

    Doesn't have anything to do with anything else, and he states he wrote the financial parts so he had time, you and he are just making excuses.

    It had his name, his signature, he endorsed it and bragged about it. If in fact he was clueless as to what was in it, all the more reason he should never be President, you think that delivering babies is more demanding?

    If you think him being ignorant to what was in the rest of the newsletter as being enough to disqualify him from being POTUS, then why don't you go after the actual open, out right, Homophobes and bigots of the rest of the GOP field? Sorry, but Ron has the most support of the GOP candidates of minorities, doubt that is because he is such a flaming racist.

    You know the House ethics committee gives out waivers, just like they did for Paulsen when he was treasurer... How else would he have gotten away with grand larceny? Newt was in on it too, so I'm sure he got a few waivers.

    Even accepting your argument he is not a racist and knew nothing about it that in itself shows him irresponsible. But he bragged about them and he wrote articles for it and allowed under his name with his endorsement, so yours and his excuse is mighty weak and of itself disqualifying.

    They summarily dismissed 83 of 84 of the charges brought and I could care less about Paulsen, we are discussing Gingrich and what occurred with him.

    Now explain in your own words what the one complaint that held was about.

    They dismissed the charges, summary dismissals, learn the difference.

    There was ONE charge that held any water, you don't even know what it was do you.

    Blah Blah Blah.
    Who cares man?
    No one is buying the "roumors"
    So stop wasting your time selling it.
    This myth was already busted. All the general public has to do is a little research on the subject...

    They're waivers man. The House ethics committee is notorious for issuing waivers...

    You seem, at least until you found out the facts of the matter.

    What are you claiming are rumours, the facts you can't refute?

    "The speaker's office issued a statement noting that yesterday's dismissal of the last three charges means that 83 of the 84 ethics allegations filed by Democrats have been dropped.

    The Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, as the ethics panel is formally known, also decided to defer to a federal judge's decision to dismiss an allegation that GOPAC improperly subsidized Gingrich's 1990 reelection campaign.

    U.S. District Judge Louis F. Oberdorfer in 1996 threw out a Federal Elections Commission lawsuit contending that GOPAC broke election laws by assisting federal candidates and not making its donor lists and spending reports public."
    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/govt/leadership/stories/101198.htm

    Don't like the facts I see.




    Post it and refute what I have stated. How many charges were not dismissed, what does your little research tell you?

    No they weren't but prove, post a link proving they were not dismissals but waviers.


    You know you shouldn't just make things up hoping you can get away with it.

    They're mostly all corrupt. As far as i'm concerned if a Washington politician is accused of 84 ethic violations he's guilty of them all.

    White flag noted.

    If someone else is going to bring Gingrich into the discussion I will feel free to respond to it just as you felt free to respond to my response.

    Get it?

    Now still waiting for your link proving that Newt got 83 waivers.

    Ron Paul disavowed those comments in his newsletters..he didn't write nor read them. If it were you Dujac, how many blasted times would you want to be asked the same blasted question after answering it? Let it go..it's not going to stop Ron Paul..find something else.

    And here is a snippet from Ron Paul from another thread link

    "We should not think in terms of whites, blacks, Hispanics, and other such groups. That kind of thinking only divides us. The only us-versus-them thinking in which we might indulge is the people—all the people— versus the government, which loots and lies to us all, threatens our liberties, and shreds our Constitution.
