The ethics committee has to take up any charges made by anyone. After the Dems didn't recapture the House in the 96 election, the Democrats immediately charged Gingrich with 84 ethics violations virtually all of which were total BS, which the committee then was obliged to take up. The committee disposed of all but one, which was failing to disclose some information on a form, and fined him $300,000.

It's possible the Dems don't take up any ethics charges against Dems when they control the House of course.

It was bad enough that the Reps felt they had to bar Lazio from making a speech at the Rep Convention, which probably cost Bush 2,000,000 votes and 4 seats in the Senate.

Now don't go making things up again. You wouldn't have a link showing that, do you? Didn't think so.

I thought you meant you had something saying it was because of his alleged ethics problems and that it cost 2,000,000 votes etc.

How many votes do you think it cost the Reps because they would not let Lazio speak at the Convention?

Then ask yourself why the Reps "snubed" Lazio at the Rep Convention?

My ballpark estimate is zero.

Do you know that the mere mention of Lazio's name at the Rep Convention resulted in a 54 second sponteneous ovation, the ONLY sponteneous ovation at the convention?
