Frank Guinta (R-NH) admits he took illegal gift

[RandySF]

Just last year, US Representative Frank Guinta of New Hampshire found much-needed support from fellow Republicans to mount a political comeback and win his election. He will probably have to fight his next battle all alone.

After five years of denying wrongdoing, Guinta was found by the Federal Election Commission to have accepted $355,000 in illegal contributions from his parents. He has said the money he used for his first congressional campaign was also his, but now Guinta must refund the full sum to his parents and pay a $15,000 fine.

But it gets worse. On Friday, the conservative publisher of the New Hampshire Union Leader ran a six-word editorial with his picture: “Frank Guinta is a damned liar.” The state’s highest-ranking Republican, US Senator Kelly Ayotte, described the incident as “serious and troubling.” Former US Representative Jeb Bradley, a Republican who once employed Guinta on his staff, said Guinta “is on a pretty lonely island” these days.

If and how Guinta wages this battle could have significant consequences for him and others.

1. Our political system is so rotten, so corrupt, it is disgusting. Sure cons are far more likely

to be corrupt and more corrupt, but they are all susceptible.

It is AMAZING that NOTHING has EVER surfaced on the Obama's, NOTHING.

Not a single corruption charge or scandal of any kind.

NOT ONE

(the fake ones I wont even mention)
