For those who don’t know, Republicans strongly supported action against Gingrich by the House Ethics Committee.
And for others who don’t know, Gingrich committed no crime or rules violation.
Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) said that had he known what was in the ethics committee's report, he would not have voted for Gingrich as speaker. "The gray got grayer when you read the report," he said. "When I think of my three boys and what kind of example I want to set for them for leadership in this country, gray is not the example."
For those who don’t know politicians are sanctioned crooks. The trick is to find the one with more integrity than the other one. We know what they are and accept it, to some extent. This has always been the case. If you consider this example some litmus case on Gingrich then you’re naive. The msm lays on conservatives and covers for liberals. This article reads like the absurd. And the actual issue was absurd. Hard to believe you were a JAG.
It was a disgrace what was done to Gingrich. I remember it well and I was ashamed how the Republicans attacked one of their own for doing nothing more than helping the conservative cause. History repeats itself.
You post: “For those who dont know, Republicans strongly supported action against Gingrich by the House Ethics Committee.”
And for “those of you who don’t know” - New was exonerated of these trumped up charges - even the one he THOUGHT he may have violated.

Why are you posting this hit piece without including the results?
Is is total dishonestly or just ignorance. On second thought, you had to dig for this - and in so doing, the facts that he was cleared had to have popped up.
Newt was throwing monkey wrenches in the Socialists forward march - he set them back years. of course, this probe took year and effectively put Newt out of Washington. Worked once, huh? Going for a second time?
and many republicans suffered with ‘nose out of joint’ syndrome, plus he was a thorn in the side of the Establishment Republicans.
Hmmm - are you getting paid for shilling for someone?
