Dishonest people stop at telling the whole truth - that the RATs, pelosi among them, spent 3 years and over 80 charges trying to get Newt on anything they could - they finally were able to ‘nail him’ on one nebulous charge - But you all leave out the part where the IRS - of all outfits - found that the charge was NOT TRUE and exonerated Newt.
You Half-truthers make me sick...especially posting in FR
The IRS stating in writing that Gingrich was not guilty...would have ended this line of attack for anybody with any sort of ethics.
Romney is a sleaze who will stop at nothing to be President.
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.
