Originally posted by graphicgr8s Ya ever notice that when a republican screws around on his wife or does something stupid he steps down. Meanwhile when it's a liberal they go kicking and screaming. Like Blago trying to auction off the Obama's seat. And Clinton disgraced the White House and fought it. Like Frank straight out lying to the American people and the President. And Kennedy as a murderer. And Edwards cheating on his cancer stricken wife. And Madame Botox costing us so much money. And all the libs with the global warming hoax. And the Obama trying to finish the US economy with his spending and "green" crap.
I am not going to comment on the subsequent series of non- and half-truths, but as far as Gingrich goes, he in fact did
not resign after being reprimanded by the House for ethics violations (in January 1997). He resigned almost 2 years later (after the '98 elections), when it became obvious that he was going to be pushed aside by the party because he had become a political liability. A purely opportunistic move, both from him and from the rest of the GOP.
So your argument fails right there, before it even started.
