The “unlike some people” is merely implied, but this one’s so heavy-handed that he might as well have tacked on a few shots of Newt with his ex-wives framed by a torn “heart” graphic.
I’m tempted to say this will do Romney as much harm as good simply because it stinks of desperation driven by Gingrich’s surge, but in truth it probably will help him a bit. For every Iowa political junkie who long ago priced Newt’s personal issues into his stock, there are probably two or three socially conservative caucusgoers who haven’t paid much attention yet and are just now taking a close look at Gingrich. And yes, character does matter:

Newts sins (and they are many) are well known. Thus he is somewhat inoculated against them in a general election. Mitt does not stir the hearts of conservatives. His campaign is now dead meat.
Newt will be a formidable debater in the Presidential race. Obama will not be good in debate unless it is a “setup” softball question.
ps
On a personal basis I do not like Newt. However, he would make a good president. I will vote for him with no qualms or problem. I would not invite him over to my house to have a beer.
For a second there I thought the headline said; Newt Romney ad ...
I don't support the big-idea (translation: big government) man, Newt Gingrich but I positively reject RINO Romney. A phony who gives RINOs a bad name. The Iowa caucus vote should be interesting. I'm hoping an actual, honest-to-God conservative, Michelle Bachmann, surges there but realistically, I wouldn't put money on it happening. Too bad if our choices are Romney or Gingrich. The only consolation is that either man would be 1000 times better for America than the America-hating alien Marxist we have to endure, now.
Tell us how you really feel. LOL
ps I feel the same way. Every time I hear Mitt speak I see a used car salesman.
As an aside I must mention that the campaigns of all the candidates monitor this site and other sites. It is important for them. By doing this they know how the campaign message is being received in the conservative and liberal forums.
I do not think Mitts people will like what they read today.
Why are you dumping on Mittens? This is the first thing he’s said that he can’t change his opinion later - he really has been married to only one woman. /sar
The insiders promised him that he would be the nominee but the rank and file Republicans are telling him otherwise.
Nobody cares how many times a candidate has been married and divorced, this isn’t 1950...
Nothing smells so desperate as a self-righteous smuck.
Probe: Mitt missed chance to keep Tavares jailed - Could have nixed killer’s early exit
Friday, December 28, 2007 - Boston Herald
"Former Gov. Mitt Romney’s administration failed to act on disciplinary recommendations
that would have kept ex-con killer Daniel Tavares locked up another year -
and behind bars at the time he was accused of killing a newlywed couple in Washington state."
"Despite Tavares’ long history of violence, the Romney-led Department of Correction
took no action on recommendations that he be stripped of “good time” because
of assaults on prison guards in 2003 and 2005, said sources familiar with a state probe into the case."
That headline elicited an “oh, no” gasp. Is there anyone who doesn’t know that Romney is still married to his #1 and that Newt is on #3, having cheated his way there? I may not approve of that aspect of Newt’s past, but if the primary were tomorrow, I’d still vote for him. Let the Cardinals choose the Pope.
And Mitt, unlike some people, you are a gun-grabbing, gay-loving, culture of death-facilitating, big-government-loving, liberty-crushing statist. Piss on RomneyLOL!
Nathan is correct in a way. The LDS actually practiced polygamy secretly until the 1920’s (long after the first ‘manifesto’ and until the second one) and many did move to mexico, including Mitt’s family.
However, they still BELIEVE in polygamy, just only have one wife at a time. Mormon marriages are considered to be ‘for eternity’ so a man (not woman) can marry in the temple (for eternity), divorce, marry again in the temple (without first wife’s permission) for eternity and upon her death, marry again in the temple (for eternity) and have 3 wives in heaven.
Also, there is a belief that polygamy will be re-instituted in this life during the end times, which also has a Mormon POTUS, and is why some LDS I know support gay marriage because they see the next step is the legalization of polygamy.
Mitt doesn't smell so sweet when dripping with desperation. I hope his weave falls out.
I can see that. And I can see a mounted jackalope on his desk. And without fail he says to every single customer he brings into his office; "Isn't that neat? My nephew made that." As the customer sits there struggling to form a thought, any thought at all, Mitt says "OK, now let's talk about financing..."
I disagree with the tone of this article. I’m really getting tired of candidates who tout something GOOD about themselves getting slammed because some other candidate can’t say the same thing.
I remember when Barbara Bush said something nice about her husband at the 1996 RNC convention, and the media attacked her because it “contrasted” with Bill Clinton.
Romney HAS been married to the same woman all these years. He HAS kept his wedding vows. He shouldn’t be attacked for pointing it out in a field where it is not true of ALL the candidates. It was Gingrich’s CHOICE not to keep his vows.
We attacked Giuliani visciously in 2008 for his multiple marriages. Gingrich should expect no less.
Mr. Romney. Is it true that you lusted for the waitress to pinch your butt? And that you admitted being untruthful about it?
he he he
I don’t think you’re allowed to say anything even remotely nice about Romney here.
Now, tell me about the whole President thingy...
