DENVER — GOP gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis promised Friday to make full restitution for the $300,000 he received for plagiarized essays about water rights and said it brings the issue to a close.

McInnis says he has already acknowledged responsibility for his mistake and he wants to move on.

Fischer said he thought he was doing a favor for McInnis and was appalled when he said he received a letter this week from the McInnis campaign. The letter was for Fischer to sign, he said.
The letter reads,

Dear Scott:
I am writing to express my sincere apology for failing to provide appropriate attribution for the research I provided for the water articles we collaborated on. While my mistake was not intentional, it is nonetheless clear that this material needed footnotes.
This mistake was solely my own and I recognize that my work fell short of the expectations you had when you included me in this project.
Again, please accept my deep apology.
Sincerely,
Rolly Fischer

Fischer said he would never sign the letter.
Ferrugia asked, "He wants you to take full responsibility?"
"Oh, yeah," said Fischer.

4. The Double Standard

continues...local wingnut radio host railed against Ward Churchill - is now defending McInnis.

91% that's how much the right-wing dominates the radio airwaves.

5. He lies, he steals

and then when caught he wants to move on. How much more has he lied and stolen, how much is he going to lie and steal if elected??

Scum of the earth, the devil's spawn ...... fits right in with the gop

8. And if McInnis has to withdraw from the gubernatorial race

Tom Tancredo has said he'd be willing to take his place on the ballot.


Oh joy.

9. The only reason he's so "willing" to repay those funds is he's gonna get his ass sued if he doesn't.

There is no such thing as 'personal responsibility' in the Repuke Party.

10. Too Late the Cow is Out of the Barn

Too late McInnis ! Giving the money back doesn't solve the issue of ethics and morality. Step down already.

11. Let's move on. Let's talk about family values. - n/t
