PS... brucetee stop repeating your BULL. Newt found innocent...

“The House ethics subcommittee declared today that Speaker Newt Gingrich's misuse of tax-exempt funds for a politically tinged college course reflected a pattern of years of ''disregard and lack of respect for the standards of conduct'' a Congressman should follow.”

As I have provided links in past, court found Newt innocent of this.

Again I must repeat:

70 + charges dropped. Only one left Newt found innocent by court.

brucetee points to dropped charges...

what seedy conduct the man ask. how about being reprimand and fined $300,000 "disrgard and lack of respect for the standards of conduct a congressmen should follow".

those are acts that a large number of people might deem as seedy.

What "seedy actions " ? Newt’s balance budget, surplus, welfare reform, and more government revenue decreasing tax on rich than Bill C. increase of taxes on rich ?

Did Newt loan $$$ trillions to foreign banks behind the back of Congress & THE PEOPLE ?

yah yes gone is the softer side of newt.it it;s place is the old insidious,narcissistic and hypocritical newt.as his poll numbers keep going south we can expect to see more of the seedy actions that played ,in no small part,the reason that it was strongly suggested that he resign as a member of the u.s. house of representatives.
