Here is some homework that will not require an ordained pastor to explain to any Christian worth their salt to understand the high minded moderate GOP establishment LIES when saying Gingrich is/was challenged ethically.

Thank you for the ping.

The ethics case against Newt Gingrich didn't make sense to me when I read it years ago and I don't remember ever getting on that bandwagon of critics even back then.

Ethics rules have gotten so complex that it's possible to make a minor mistake into something much more serious, which might not be so bad if it weren't for the fact that real violations of ethics end up getting ignored because too many people use the “ethics” line of attack too often.

The “cry wolf” problem applies here, except I think some Democrats and RINO enablers are crying wolf deliberately.

Republicans **DO** care about ethics accusations and will take them seriously, often derailing and sometimes destroying Republican candidates. On the other hand, getting the general public used to ethics allegations will help Democrats by allowing them to evade blame for stuff they really **HAVE** done wrong.
