Congratulations Congressman-Elect Frank Guinta

by: Dean Barker

Wed Nov 03, 2010 at 05:34:12 AM EDT


Dear Congressman-Elect Guinta,

Congratulations on your victory last night. May you serve the people of New Hampshire with the same honor and integrity of your predecessor, Carol Shea-Porter.

Now, about that $355,000 you put into your campaign that logic and common sense say could not have come from you.

Will you supply your future constituents with a simple copy of a bank statement showing the money was yours? Or will you wait to see if US Attorney Kacavas launches a criminal probe into this matter?

Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter, and best of luck in Congress.

I'm all for (0.00 / 0)
being gracious in defeat, but there is no reason to congratulate somehow who not only likely bought his seat, but did so illegally.  

Never mind that sarcasm is difficult to get across (4.00 / 1)
on the web.  The instinct-driven do not understand it.
Guinta will be a one-termer, if he lasts that long.

If, Or Maybe When, He's Convicted (0.00 / 0)
Will Carol run?


No'm Sayn?

Dear Mr. Guinta (0.00 / 0)
Will you vote against fuel assistance for NH if it comes in the form of an earmark?

IRS Investigation (0.00 / 0)

The Rethug congress can protect Guinta from an ethics investigation, but nothing can protect him from an IRS investigation.

It would take about five minutes to find the "smoking gun"

If there is no tax record on the interest of 350,000 dollars then he's got a problem.


Don't Forget the FEC (0.00 / 0)
They really do not like this sort of thing.

They can prosecute. Congress has no say over an FEC investigation either.  

No'm Sayn?

Thoughts for Frank Guinta: (4.00 / 1)
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you. Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you?

More reasons NH will regret Guinta.... (4.00 / 1)
Regardless of whether Guinta is indicted or not, he's going to have an ethics cloud hanging over him - which even Repugs don't like when they're busy purveying their disinformation.  So, while freshman probably don't get great committee assignments regardless, Frank will be lucky is he's allowed to be the junior member of the homecoming dance decorating committee....
