“I saw that, too! Romney out and out lied about Newt Gingrich’s record, and the whole time he had on his ‘stalker’ smirk.”
Many people miss that, and what it indicates about the man.
Romney really is the GOP’s Obama.
Another one of Romney’s feverishly pitched anti-Newt talking points were that “we’re electing a president, not a talk radio host.” Sheesh, doesn’t he have some actual conservatives he can buy off to run this messaging by first? I know what I’ve been waiting for for years is a Republican candidate who actually exhibits the passion on the issues and the ability to communicate that the average conservative radio host does. Make that Exhibit #467 to make the case that Romney is out-of-touch with the voters and not a conservative.
It’s funny that Newt is being vindicated on some of the earlier statements that he walked back. He said back in December that it was hard to imagine he wouldn’t be the nominee. And a couple weeks ago he called Romney a liar. Now we’re seeing the evidence to prove these assertions firsthand.
Now that Newt’s the frontunner, the “rise above the fray” strategy that Romney employed in Iowa might work. Newt can let his SuperPAC do the dirty work while he avoids direct attacks on Romney and pitches his message for the general election against Obama. These new Romney attacks seem so facile that he might actually be able to dismiss them as easily as he did John King’s question.
I also noted that Meet the Press today, while being highly unfavorable to Newt, made note that when Romney went into attack dog mode in 2008, he did a bad job of it. Considering how unlikable Romney is when he’s being nice, I can’t imagine how quickly the “mean” Romney will wear out his welcome.
I don’t think many miss that evil smirk of Mitt’s. What is inside comes out.
He’s the GOP’s conman like barry is to the left. Will the media pull another win - this time over conservatives so we will be the laughing stock? NO! We know evil when we see it!
Go NEWT! Kick the imposter #2 to the curb to clear the way to kick imposter #1 back to Chicago.
