This is why Team Romney and the GOP Establishment want Newt to shut up!

Amen! They weren't complaining when lies were told about Newt in Iowa, but all of a sudden the whining about attack ads is becoming a crescendo.

An honest man will ask if all the media is outraged at capitalism being examined, or if they're truly upset that their boy, Mitt, is taking fire.

I'm fairly certain it's the latter.

“Amen! They weren’t complaining when lies were told about Newt in Iowa, but all of a sudden the whining about attack ads is becoming a crescendo.”

Exactly. Now that Newt has gone on the attack all we hear is the whining from the RINOs. They can go to hell as far as I am concerned. GO NEWT!

"Amen! They weren't complaining when lies were told about Newt in Iowa, but all of a sudden the whining about attack ads is becoming a crescendo."

Spot on. It all makes me so mad I could spit. Here's the chronology:

1) Newt spends all Summer and Fall campaigning EXCLUSIVLY in a positive fashion, going out of his way in fact to say kind things about all of his opponents;

2) Myth, RuPaul - and most disappointingly, Perry - run millions of dollars in negative ads against Newt in Iowa, most of which are outright lies or dramatic twists of truth.

3) Newt never reseponds in kind to the above.

4) The ads work, and Romney and his surrogates in the MSM respond to assertions that the ads were unfair by saying "Hey you've gotta have broad shoulder." No one in the MSM bothers to even explore or care about the accuracy of the ads. The only meme is: "Hey, tough it out and don't whine."

5) Newt finally says: "OK, I guess that's how I'll have to play." And people supporting him run entirely TRUTHFUL ads about Romney.

6) MSM responds by saying how angry Newt is, how mean-spirited he seems and how unfair the attacks are.

Anybody see anything wrong with this picture?
