[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3131660, member: 13624"] I didn't say me, and it doesn't matter what the agenda was if the facts were accurate, and I've seen nothing to suggest that his "mistakes" didn't actually occur. Are you saying that because liberals would get a pass from the media, conservatives should also be excused from ethical standards? Do [I]you[/I] have ethical standards? What are they? What do you demand your top-level governmental agents adhere to? BTW, given his record of being shot down by courts across the country for some of the suits he brought, including some shot down without even a hearing--I'd say he's also potentially in violation of the lawyer's code of ethics--the [URL='http://www.oscn.net/applications/oscn/Index.asp?ftdb=STOKST05&level=1']Oklahoma Rules of Professional Responsiblity[/URL] (see Appendix 3-A)--specifically Rule 3.1, Meritorious Claims and Contentions: "A lawyer shall not bring or defend a proceeding, or assert or controvert an issue therein, unless there is a basis in law and fact for doing so that is not frivolous, which includes a good faith argument for an extension, modification or reversal of existing law." And, of course, he spent piles of taxpayer dollars bringing or defending those failures. But hey, it's only the people's money; he needs to be out there showing how tough and proactive he is so that he can impress the voters and step up to higher office. Just think of it as a mandatory campaign contribution. [/QUOTE]
