And, in the latest exchange over Romneycare, Mitt Romney pushed back on Newt Gingrich's criticisms of the plan as a flawed Big Government venture by saying, "Actually Newt we got the idea of the individual mandate from you."
Gingrich replied that that was false, and that it came from the Heritage Foundation.
When Romney pushed back asking if it was untrue that Gingrich once supported that, the former House Speaker acknowledged he had, against Hillarycare.
Romney, the clear frontrunner now, was ready for the attacks.
I’m not making any excuses for Newt rewriting history, but I would like to point out that no one bests Mitt for this type of dishonesty.
Politico on Romney’s false statements last night ….. [sound of crickets]
Romney tries to switch the blame to Gingrich. Kinda of like when a child gets caught in the act. What a sideshow.
I'd take a college course from him, but I don't want him designing policy.
