"It has recently come to our attention that your station has either been asked to run, or may soon be asked to run, various advertising spots produced by the Mitt Romney aligned SuperPAC Restore Our Future or Romney for President, the principal campaign committee of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Included among the Romney advertisements submitted to your station for broadcast are likely to be various advertisements which specifically mention Speaker Gingrich and purport to quote or reference the findings of a 1997 report issued by the House Select Committee on Ethics (the Report).
The content of these advertisements state and/or suggest that, Speaker Gingrich was fined $300,000 for violations of congressional rules. These statements are NOT TRUE. In fact, ANY statement, suggestion, or innuendo that Speaker Gingrich was assessed a congressional fine for violations of House Ethics Rules is fundamentally false and misleading. If published after your receipt of this letter, it will be a knowing publication of a false statement. As such, it represents a defamatory communication which exposes this station to potential civil liability. In turn, we do hereby DEMAND that your station immediately REFUSE, and if started, CEASE airing any such advertisements and refrain from broadcasting their content until such time as the libelous statements have been removed."

Romney is everything slimely you said and worse. He is truly the enemy within. I’m all but certain he was behind a lot of the Sarah Palin smearing because she presented the biggest hurdle to him in his insatiable quest for power to the presidency should she have wanted to to run, particularly if McCain had won and served as a one term president.
Imagine, the clout of VP Sarah Palin running. No chance for Romeny.
Also imagine the clout of an unblemished Sarah Palin running this year, or just Sarah Palin running this year! Watch ou Romney!
Some call Mormons a cult, but I’m not into that. I think the crowd that runs with Romney are thugs, much like obama’s, but Romney is a sell-out and not on our side.
Romney destroys anyone in his way. That’s the way it’s done in business. He with the most money wins and Romney has the most money and he’s spending it. Unlimited wealth. Newt is right: Romney will buy the presidency if he can. He will have to first buy the nomination if he can.
and if a poster continues, ad "infinitude", (or ad Romney/Paul )to post what they know are lies,?
Looks like an to me
I think I specifically mentioned that, so it’s rather disingenous of you to claim otherwise, especially while pretending you are outraged over misleading statements.
Gingrich PLED to the charge he was “sentenced” for by the house. That plea deal dismissed all the other charges. The one serious charge was later dismissed by the IRS. But that was a legal issue; the ethics charges were dismissed as part of the “plea deal” which Gingrich agreed to.
Gingrich’s lawyer was very careful here. He attacks specific falsehoods, like calling the $300,000 a “fine” instead of a “penalty”. Doesn’t change the fact, which is found in the congressional record, and in the contemporaneous news reports, about what exactly happened.
Six months ago nobody here at FR would be whining about people pointing this stuff out. This is what we have come to, having to support a flawed candidate with real baggage by pretending the baggage doesn’t exist and attacking people who point out actually pieces of factual information.
Ditto and thank you very much.
Is the heavy argument about whether the $300,000 was a fine or a penalty?
Stunning ..Alert Alert!!!! John McCain endorsed Obama in . Carolina....though a gaff...you have got to hear this!!!!

The link is on a post on this thread. Please find them.
I am headed for bed.
I just did a search, have to get past all the liberal lies being put on the internet now, but you can still find them.
Newt Gingrich’s Lawyer will be fighting for his character on this as he should.
The boxing gloves are on!
Gather round to watch the fight, folks!
ROTFLMY ROMNEY OFF
MC CAIN IS SENILE!!!!
TAKE HIM AWAY.
Viking kitty time! - (These trolls are getting so numerous - and the same ones posting the same lies over and over - even after having been given the truth - ya gotta start wondering: "Is this where some of mittens millions is going - paid trolls on forums?
Gingrich was publicly repremanded by the House on a vote of 395 to 28 for giving false information to the ethics committee, a charge which Gingrich admitted to. The IRS did not clear him of that.
“Mega millions coming in “
There are a whole lot of wealth Mormons who may be donating. I’m sure they would love to have one of their faith in the top seat of world power.
Facts:
- Gingrich has openly called out Obama as a left-wing Alinskyite
- Romney has publicly called Obama a nice guy and refused to agree with a direct question from Bill O’Reilly asking if Romney considers Obama a socialist
- Newt Gingrich led the House legislation to pass 4 consecutive balanced budgets, welfare reform, tax rate reductions, and the Impeachment of President Clinton
- Newt has publicly called Obama the ‘Food Stamp President’. Romney says Obama is in over his head.
- Romney’s advisors were consulted at the time of the planning of Obamacare
Knowing some fundamental facts and these are just a few, who do you really think is in a position to have a field day with who? You really have made a lot of criticisms but you got no substance as to how you would defeat Obama. I assume you are happy to have 4 more years of him.
LMAO...hell, even McCain knows that Romney is Obama lite.
John has a long and substantial history of fighting conservatives in the Senate.
...and fake tparty Haley is headed in the same direction.
Please instead of just arguing would you MIND giving links to these statements?
“The agreement specifically noted that the payment was not a fine, but instead a cost assessment. The House vote affirmed this agreement.”
(which concerned a mistake MADE BY HIS LAWYER! ON A LETTER, Which Gingrich HAS STATED ALL ALONG!)
I have for you, your turn!
going to bed...
good night
This ones from another vantage point and you can see McCain trying to recover....he does that badly too calling Romney President Romney....he’s so done and the guys in congress! He needs to hang it up!

You got that right!
“Can you imagine what the Obama machine could do...”
Wow, I hadn’t thought about that. /s
The O machine is prepared to decimate any Repub opposition, don’t you think?
Real or fabricated.
Unless Newt kills puppies in his front yard..I’m on his team. I want someone that knows how to fight “down and dirty”. I think he tried to run a clean campaign in the beginning. Didn’t work.
