Gingrich plans ad to hit Romney on abortion

NASHUA, NH -- Newt Gingrich plans to open up what could be a bitter new front in his fight with Mitt Romney with an ad accusing Romney of allowing taxpayer dollars to fund abortion in Massachusetts.

The new ad will run in South Carolina "soon," according the Gingrich campaign.

The topic of abortion has emerged as a particularly contentious issue between the Gingrich and Romney campaigns. Gingrich's accusation is that Romney's universal health care plan in Massachusetts explicitly provides for taxpayer funding of abortions. Romney responds by arguing that a longstanding Massachusetts supreme court decision, which as governor he had no power to overturn, forced the state to provide abortion aid to poor women. Romney did not support the policy, his campaign says.

Some Romney supporters have become angry at Gingrich's accusation, especially with two debates coming up this weekend in which much of the GOP field is expected to hit Romney hard. "I don't think Mr. Gingrich has the guts to say it to Gov. Romney's face," former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu, who has endorsed Romney, said on Fox News Friday morning. "He is wrong. It is dishonest for him to say that…Mr. Gingrich has a little difficulty with the truth."

Uh...NO!

Romney’s “Medicine” is a bunch of lies.

Newt’s telling the truth.

"Vote Count Error? Did Rick Santorum Really Win the Iowa Caucuses?
DES MOINES, Iowa - Edward True, 28, of Moulton, said he helped count the votes
and jotted the results down on a piece of paper to post to his Facebook page.
He said when he checked to make sure the Republican Party of Iowa
got the count right, he said he was shocked to find they hadn’t.
“When Mitt Romney won Iowa by eight votes and I’ve got a
20-vote discrepancy here, that right there says Rick Santorum won Iowa,” True said. “Not Mitt Romney.”


"Several UNREPORTED news reports have it that Romney
did not win the Iowa Caucuses.
Barring any objective, verifiable proof that shows more than 12 votes mistakenly
being credited to Santorum, Romney lost."


"Could Typo Rewrite Caucus History? (Santorum may regain win)"


IT’S UNANIMOUS FOR RINO ROMNEY

Mitt Romney wins much coveted Jimmy Carter endorsement

Gore Praises Romney's 'Climate Protection Plan'

Carville(D):
"It's a feel-good story, this Romney thing.
Romney is an ascendant guy

Sen. John Kerry (D) to Don Imus on RomneyCARE:
"I like this health care bill".

Sen. Hillary Clinton (D) on RomneyCARE:
"To come up with a bipartisan plan in this polarized environment is commendable."

I believe there has been a deal made between Newt and Santorum. We are about to witness Newts’ part of it. Santorums’ will come once he secures the nomination or wins the election and starts picking his cabinet.

Tell those whiners to put their big boy pants on. Running for President ain’t bean bag and it ain’t little league either.

Diogenesis, did you know the head of Romney's super pac, Forti is an associate of Karl Roves? that Restore Our Future not only receives money from Bain, Marriot but from global sources? and the SCOTUS ruled 5 to 4 they could use unlimited funds. Romney is going to get mega bucks. Now, it looks like Rove kind of groomed Forti. Connecting the dots as to why Fox gives Rove free reign to attack Newt. The sad thing is...Romney didnt win in Iowa...the SUPER PAC won

He’s a big government liberal, pro-abortion, pro-homo marriage advocate. Healthcare socialist. He belongs in the democratic party.

Oh yes he does.

Now, let's see how hard Newt can beat down obama lite.

Thank you very much. I really want to watch both and you giving me this info will allow for this. We will go to mass tomorrow night to ensure We can watch Sunday morning. I can’t wait until the debate tomorrow night. Newt and others need to go for “the jugular” on Romney.
