So you would agree that “tapping” the House bank was an “undesirable” act then?

Let's put aside the sleezy way your insinuating this 'scandal' happened. Do you think being one of the over 300 congressmen who got caught up in a LONG standing house practice should disqualify a good man for running for president? How 'bout VP?

" Accused in 1992 House banking scandal In 1992, Cheney was named along with a number of representatives in the House banking scandal. He acknowledged overdrawing his account 21 times, but in a military-style briefing featuring blowups of canceled checks, Cheney showed the amounts ranged from $12 to $1,945."

Do you know what Duncan Hunter did when this came down? He announced he would be in his home district and asked people to show up. He got a card table and laid out all the checks and the records for his constituents to see and proved that all you have suggested never happened.

Newt Gingrich was caught up in this too. Know how he handled it? He tried to pass a resolution for no one to find out about him and some others by setting a very high total amount of checks for disclosure.

Wow, Duncan Hunter is the bravest, most straightforward politician that I have ever heard of.

Considering your tagline, I thought you’d enjoy post #235.
