"I think what you basically had was a defacto understanding that the Bank of Congress would give free overdraft protection to its members. Congressman like Duncan Hunter took advantage of this and viewed as a perk - much the mail franking privileges that they also get. I think you make a good argument that people should have seen this practice as unethical - however, it was not illegal and it appears to have been widely accepted by the bank and other Congressman at the time. I am dissapointed that Congressman Hunter didn’t hold himself to a higher standard but at least he did eventually act to make things right and he has had an otherwise completely ethical career. So, at the end of the day I am willing to cut him some slack for this though it is a dissapointment."

A rational response to a valid question, a rarity around here these days. I will agree mostly with your response, though I do have a few points that I could harp on, but I think enough has been said already. Good luck in the primaries, but like someone else has said, I hope you have a plan B for afterwards. See ya around.

Like oil trying to interact with pure, sweet water, trying to sully an honest man with dirty innuendo will not succeed.
