New Romney ad: Unlike some people, I’ve been happily married to the same woman for years
Hot Air ^ | DECEMBER 6, 2011 | ALLAHPUNDIT

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:

Romney’s campaign is a joke, just like last time around, when will this guy get it, FOLKS DON’T WANT YOU!!!

You tried to buy the nomination last time, and it failed, and you hoped you could just quielty be coronated this time and its failed.

This is a pathetic ad, if that’s truly what this ad is...

Romney, Newt ain’t exactly a favorite of the hard right either, but you know the one thing he’s been doing and doing consistently??? He’s framed nearly everything he’s done as not an attack on other R’s.. but by contrasting what he would do vs what Obama has done!

You can’t do that, why? You enacted RomneyCare, which was effectively ObamaCare at a state level, so you can’t seperate yourself from Obama on policy, since your policy record wasn’t one of major differences in many areas.

I’ll freely admit, I don’t like you Romney, never have. It’s got nothing to do with your religion, or your success or failure in business.. it has EVERYTHING to do with 2 things, 1) You signed into law legislation that effectively punished people for simply BREATHING!!! You either pay the state, buy insurance, or be punished JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE ALIVE.. that is fundamentally UNACCEPTABLE! 2) You attempted to portray yourself as Reaganesque last election cycle, and it was truly sad. I don’t like when any politician tries to paint themselves as another, period.

However, if you truly have launched an ad simply attacking a guy on the grounds he’s been divorced?? First of all attacking is silly, give voters a REASON you are a better choice, not attack another R.. second, you are tone deaf politically.. yes even in Iowa folks get divorced Romney, it stinks, don’t condone it, but if we are disqualify folks from jobs because they have been divorced, you are going to have an unemployment rate far higher than the real numbers of 17-20%.

Just Wow.

Well at least he is consistent on 1 issue. Too bad for him it is the only consistency in his life.

You are allowed to say what ever you want here.

And we are allowed to mock you for saying it.

He’s getting attacked for it, because really that’s all you got?

Claiming you never divorced, is admirable.. however its not exactly a winning claim either. John Edwards could make that claim during all his electorial bids... how’d that end up? Bill Clinton’s never been divorced either, but he’s run around for decades.

I am personally glad that any couple can stay happily married for the long haul, but does that mean others whos marriages failed are somehow less capable to do a job? Somehow I doubt the logic of that claim.

“What an idiot. He just insulted every American with two marriages.”

I hadn’t thought about that. You’re right. Doesn’t one out of every two marriages end in divorce? There are also many reasons why divorce happens. I can see people saying, “Well, bloody good for you, Romney - I don’t need you in the White House to remind me of my divorce - good bye, Romeny.”

This is his shot at his biggest opponent? What’s he going to say about Obama? He’s too tall.

Maybe Mitt's right.
Maybe Republicans aren't ready to nominate a divorced candidate...

He never says anything like “unlike others”. Its a bit of a stretch to slam him on this. The ad and response was from a debate trying to counter his flip-flopping. You can critisize him for flip-flopping, but this is hardly a slap at Gingrich.

It’s good for America to see what lowlife Romney is willing to do under pressure.

The man is a sissy.... and he’s frantic.

Reminds me of a skit by Saturday Night Live during the Kennedy-Romney campaign for the Massachusetts senate seat.

The skit explained the difference between them. Mormons have many wives. Kennedy has many wives but one at a time.

Gee, maybe its time to bring Huckabee back with his bit about "LDS? Isn't that the one where Our Lord and Satan are supposed to be brothers or something like that?"

I'm not big on divorce or adultery. Newt managed to get two annulments from the Catholic Church for try #3. In #1, he was married to his high school geometry teacher. I might be willing to give him a pass on that (whether FReepers would have found her "guilty" or not at the time.) I don't know if #2 was coming off of a divorce herself. If so, that would be grounds for annulment.

Unless his diocese is an annulment mill (and if he is in Arlington, it isn't), I would give him a pass on the marriage issue, just leaving the adultery. Bad, but not lethal if he's cleaned up his act. Much better to sin and repent than to spread sin through the world.

No, he isn't the best, but he's SO much better than Romney.

So Mitt is happily married, but does his wife feel the same way?

I thought that the last time he ran it cost him personally over $43,000,000 and he promised his wife that he wouldn’t do that again.

Is being the President that lucrative of a job?

Asked and answered.

Careful with the personal shots there, Mitt. You might lose even more support.

OK Mitt, you're a better person than me - got better hair too. Next thing I expect to see is some staged hunting or fishing event to try to get me to think you're an OK guy. Maybe you are, but you come across as one of those in my high school perennially in the in crowd, class officer, honor student, homecoming king types that I now see on Facebook still trying to run some organization even if its only the local LGBT chapter. Maybe you're better than Obama, but that isn't saying much.
