Newt Gingrich: Mitt Romney disowning Super PACs 'baloney'

OTTUMWA, Iowa — Newt Gingrich challenged Mitt Romney Tuesday afternoon to act on his comments that he’s opposed to Super PACs. Gingrich said his rival should disown and condemn the attack ads being run against him by the Romney-friendly Restore our Future Super PAC.

“Anything short of that is baloney,” Gingrich said. “We’ve got to understand these are his people, running his ads, doing his dirty work while he pretends to be above it. He can demand that every ad be positive.” Gingrich got peeved when a man asked him about a radio ad he’d just heard that described the former House speaker as a “globalist” who had supported cap-and-trade. “I think these guys hire consultants who just sit around, get drunk and write really stupid ads,” he said during a question-and-answer session on the floor of a factory that makes snow removal equipment. “I’m really serious. I am so fed up with this stuff, okay? I have been a hard core defender of American sovereignty!”

Romney getting down & dirty.

We're sick of the GOP backbiting, Mitt. Knock it off.

Obama is the objective.

“I am the most insurgent campaign since Ronald Reagan. The establishment deeply wishes I would go away, and I hate to tell them this, but I’m not leaving.”

Exactly. Newt once again telling it like it is. GO NEWT!

I don’t get this.

Newt should know better than anyone from having watched Romney (and every other Rino) that he is viscous to conservative Republicans and sweet honey to the Dems.

He’s watched blow torch Michelle going all out in jihadist suicide attack mode.

So he thinks because he wants Republicans to not smear one another that they won’t even though that is what they have been doing since the nomination race started? Romney is playing to win. Obama is going to be the same way but add to that the whole US entertainment and media industry plus the Rinos. Get alive Newt.
