Gingrich Campaign Says Romney Is Looking at ‘European Socialist’ Ideas
ABC News ^ | 12-27-2011 | Jake Tapper

Posted on 12/27/2011 1:35:13 PM PST by TitansAFC

Recent comments by Mitt Romney in which he contemplates a Value-Added Tax and Co-Insurance are becoming fodder for his rival presidential candidate Newt Gingrich’s campaign, which has taken to calling Romney a “Massachusetts moderate” and now says Romney has looked at “European Socialist ideas.”

Gingrich campaign spokesman R.C. Hammond said that the Romney ruminations were part and parcel of the case Newt Gingrich will be making to voters this week: that he represents conservative values, while Romney is a “Massachusetts moderate.”

“The fact that he’s willing to look at European Socialism shows just how far out of the conservative mainstream he is,” Hammond said....

You can read, can’t you? Refute this, line for line and include links that separate dishonest rhetoric from the honest truth. (Should I define that for you also?)

Ahhhhmmmm, that was a quote from Jim Robinson..

“If you think I’m a Romney defender, you have a lot to learn. You should probably start with my posting history before embarrassing yourself with a kneejerk response like the one you posted.”

You should READ the whole post before making such a “kneejerk” response.

I wasn’t attacking you. It was a Quote from Jim.
The topic on this thread was about Newt and him going after Romney..

Your Comment was about Newt, right?

“At least, he did when it first came out...”

SOS different day...when are you going to start focusing on when he was in office and what he is CAPABLE of doing? I have no illusions about Newt...he will need some handling to stay with us, but what are the chances of a good outcome with that jug eared Marxist or Mittens? Yep. Screwed.

[Newt's] record of PERSONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS is far, far less than impressive. -snowripe

You are one dumb dude.

Gingrich-led Republicans….the result:

* Four consecutive balanced budgets

* Over $400 billion of debt paid off

* Bipartisan welfare reform

* 11 million new jobs

* Unemployment falling to under 4%.

“TBachmann or Santorum...”

Either of them electable? No.
Who does that leave? Which one worked with us when in office to kick the snot out of the Dems?
Yep. It’s Newt.

You’re mistaking me for a Wrongney supporter. As for your link, count the number of times the post says “allied himself with” versus “was directly responsible for”. Likewise, take an honest look at the rest of his record. Comparing him to Reagan is a disservice to Reagan.

Algore praises Romney on global warming: "I don't speak for the scientific community, of course, but I believe the world is getting warmer, and I believe that humans have contributed to that," Romney said. "I can't prove that, but I believe based on what I read that the world is getting warmer. "No. 2, I believe that humans contribute to that

I DON'T CARE. Waste your vote on a write in. Keep making it harder to get us someone elected that knows how to HANDLE THE OFFICE because he has proven it. OR......... Tune in for the Marxists excited crowd chanting four more years.

Romney = Obama lite
Newt = honest change..not hope but definate change for the better. He has a proven record for rocking the boat as Speaker of the House and yes, America was all the better for it.
