I agree completely. Newt needs to educate the public on his past rather than spend so much valuable time in defense mode. I hope and pray that he can overcome the Romney machine and the liberal media, dims and GOP establishment’s lies, slander and innuendo. Newt all the way to the White House!
Here are the facts quoted from "What really happened in the Gingrich ethics case?" by Byron York in the Washington Examiner: Stunned by their loss of control of the House -- a loss engineered by Gingrich -- House Democrats began pushing a variety of ethics complaints against the new Speaker...It ended with a special counsel hired by the House Ethics Committee holding Gingrich to an astonishingly strict standard of behavior, after which Gingrich in essence pled guilty to two minor offenses. Afterwards, the case was referred to the Internal Revenue Service, which conducted an exhaustive investigation into the matter....the IRS concluded that Gingrich did nothing wrong. Gingrich was exonerated. The bottom line: Gingrich acted properly and violated no laws. But if Gingrich is to have any hope of climbing out from under the allegations, he'll have to find some way of letting people know what really happened.
The ad is still running. I thought NBC was suing Romney? The fix is in.
