Newt should tell Romney that he will release them in April.

Add ‘The Hill’ to the list of rags perpetuating the myth that Gingrich was fined $300,000. He agreed to pay for a portion of the investigation (which later found him innocent). That is not a fine, and I have never seen the phrase “acquitted” or “found innocent” in any article mentioning the ethics investigation.

Didn’t Nikki just receive a large contribution from Mitt? Was it just a down payment?

There's a problem with that idea. I don't believe South Carolina has initiative, referendum and recall in place.

It's a Souvrn' state ~ so new fangled contrivances like they have in Wisconsin just don't cut it.

BTW, back when you guys were pushing the sex scandal I did some evaluation of the photographic evidence available on the net regarding where you could or could not park in the vicinity of that restaurant (central to the story) and discovered you couldn't really do what you were saying took place.

Just absolutely amazing.

From my point of view, though, I suspect that both attacks then, and the misrepresentation going on now, started with either the Paulbots or the Mittbots. Both groups didn't want Haley to win ~ Mitt gave her a recommendation which he thought wouldn't help, but he could come back later and tell the TEA Party crowd that "I hep't you'all".

Eventually she has to be informed about Newt's innocense on the ethics charges ~ it's a tad complex but as an earlier poster just demonstrated, it's already on the net.

He should start cleaning out his campaign crowd. Obvious his fact checkers blew it. That’s a sign he has some Democrats in the mix ~ the last thing any of those guys ever notice is that a Republican was exonerated.

Beautiful. Well played. If Eric Fehrnstrom (pronounced: gay) lurks here, he might try to use that in the future.

So Haley has to save his butt, because he is not fast enough on his feet to do it himself.

I just sent Haley an email expressing my disgust with her behavior. I also informed her that she would get no financial support from me, nor my vote.

The BIG DIG was a Democrat gift to former Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill.

The Democrats complain that the cost overruns occurred because Republican owned construction companies got all the work and did a bad job.

However, I recall that BEFORE the Democrats voted funding for the BIG DIG that Republicans were predicting ruinous cost overruns.

Turned out there were ruinous cost overruns.

It was a stupid idea.

IIRC, Gingrich was the only candidate who could respond with three South Carolina bullet points when the subject of the South Carolina economy came up last night.

You do recall correctly...Newt is doing his homework. His time in the House has taught him some skills he is using today, like learn the local issues when in someone else's backyard.

Are you for real?!

Ventura/Paul 2016? :)

I am for real but I have a odd sense of humor. I hope that answered your question.

Gingrich is paying $300,000 for the costs of an ethics committee investigation after admitting last year he made inaccurate statements during a lengthy probe into Democratic allegations that he misused tax-exempt donations. Gingrich denied the charges but submitted to a reprimand by the House.

This article specifically states that the fine is "for the costs of an ethics committee investigation." It also appears that Gingrich agreed to the reprimand voluntarily and without an admission or finding of guilt.
