ABC News Interview: Gingrich Says He’ll Hit Romney ‘Every Day’
abc news ^ | Jan 2, 2012 | abc news

INDEPENDENCE, Iowa — No more Mr. Nice Guy. Newt Gingrich will “draw a very clear contrast” with Romney “every day” immediately after the Iowa caucuses Tuesday, the former House speaker told ABC News.

“Everything we say will have Romney’s quote, Romney’s videotape, Romney’s record; it’ll all be based explicitly on Romney,” Gingrich said in an interview in Independence, Iowa.

Gingrich has said repeatedly that Republicans should aim their attacks at President Obama, not fellow Republicans. But after getting hammered by millions of dollars in negative ads, Gingrich says he will now return fire, targeting Romney over and over again.

"Newt is Mitt’s stalking horse"

Dumbest thing ever said on this site (this year). Are you Paultards ever going to grow up or at least graduate college?

Rick Santorum has one big problem with Christian voters. Most Christians don’t believe in endless war and being the policemen of the world. So when Mr. Perfect Conservative Santorum claims to be such a good Catholic he needs to be asked why he goes against the Catholic Church in promoting endless war instead of peace. Wars should be started when they are absolutely necessary. Mr. Perfect Conservative needs to read the Cathecism of the Catholic Church.
Newt Gingrich believes in promoting peace, and if peace fail, then military might is justified. Newt Gingrich has forgotten more than Mr. Perfect Conservative Santorum will ever know. I love the way he likes to say how he has defeated democrats in a democratic state. He always leaves out the little fact that he lost to a democrat the last time he ran for the Senate in PA, because he supported RINO Arlen Specter over conservative Pat Toomey.

No because it’s based on Iowa and Iowa only events.

Insular and saturated for weeks by almost 10 candidates leads them to make silly votes. That is why all types of eventual losers won there.

Outside of that place, it’s going to be rapid and not kind to guys without cash.

If by ‘moral conservative’ you mean supporter of abortion backing, 60th vote on Obamacare Arlen Specter, then I completely agree with you, that's Rick Santorum!

Good! I think Gingrich, to his credit, tried to handle the race on ideas alone. Romney, of course, doesn’t have any ideas and the few he has had in the past are probably to the left of Obama, so he doesn’t want that examined and he used his mega-bucks to launch a personal attack campaign against Gingrich. So Gingrich is going to have to respond to it.

I think he will do so effectively, if only because he has experience with this. Gingrich has always been hated by the establishment GOP and was basically dumped by them when he was Speaker because they were embarrassed by his success in getting the Contract with America through. Nothing has changed, and they still hate him.

“A nasty little man prone to tantrums. How dare we
Don’t get his lectures” It's so funny. Let the old gas bag go after Romney . see where it gets him. In the end the real Newt will come forward and it will not be pretty. He will come off as what he is , another old , fat white haired political hack from another time .I can't believe he continues to take the bait.

Gingrich will come off as the one person in the GOP who has actually accomplished something within our lifetime.

>> That’s over the paygrade of some to grasp. Too hung up on the man’s marriage and not his knowledge or capability to lead. <<

I oppose Newt in the primary precisely BECAUSE of concerns about "knowledge or capability to lead". Newt embraces liberal garbage like man made global warming because he wants to seen as an intellectual, enlightened conservative and get favorable press coverage. Clinton ran circles around this guy during the brief time Newt was given a leadership job, notwithstanding the history revisionism of his supporters. I remember the late 90s and it was NOT good for our side.

A Gingrich Presidency would immediately start helping our nation's economy get back on track. He would create a business friendly economy. You can tell who Romney and Zero are both most afraid of.

We need a strong contrast between the Marxist in the Whitehouse and our candidate. Romney will be on defense because Zero will mock him for supporting Obamacare. Zero wants to run against Romney because the Conservative base will shun Romney. SHUN on record levels.

A President GIngrich presidency will create jobs.

Tell Romney and his surrogate Bachman to focus on Zero. But no, they have to go after the person who worked with Reagan and balanced the budget for 4 years as Speaker.

Newt wins and as Newt fine tunes honest critiques against Romney, Romney won't know what hit him. Newt approached the debates with a focus on Zero. But if Romney wants him to focus his articulate sound bytes on Romney, then he asked for it.

Must See TV at next debate because Newt will focus his debate at Romney with honest critiques.

I fear "MORAL CONSERVATIVE" = "COMPASSIONATE CONSERVATIVE"

I think with Santorum we're ok. Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich are the Compassionate Conservatives in the race.

When Santorum falls out, and I would suspect it be after
SC, he’ll get behind his self-professed “mentor”
Newt Gingrich. No way he supports the liberal Romney.
As a matter of fact all of the contenders will end up
supporting Gingrich over Romney, or be the laughing stock of their state when they go back home.
