Mitt Romney: Newt Gingrich is a ‘failed leader,’ ‘disgrace’

Mitt Romney landed here Sunday with a simple message: Newt Gingrich is a failure and a fraud. And a disgrace. And a hapless showman.

Standing under a brilliant orange Florida sunset, Romney delivered his longest sustained critique of the South Carolina primary winner to date – ticking through a list as if he were reading off Gingrich’s Wikipedia page, and undercutting each item as he got to it.

“Speaker Gingrich has also been a leader,” the former Massachusetts governor said. “He was a leader for four years as speaker of the House. And at the end of four years, it was proven that he was a failed leader and he had to resign in disgrace. I don’t know whether you knew that, he actually resigned after four years, in disgrace.

Hell hath no fury like a scorned Republican liberal.

Wow, Mitt is really into the personal attacks. I hope this backfires bigtime.

Romney is an idiot. Epic fail as a leader.

To paraphrase another freeper’s post (NKP_Vet), here is a line Newt should use in the next debate.

With his liberal record, Mitt is a man who should have switched to the democratic party years ago, he has no business running for the nomination of the Republican Party.

This thin skinned egotist really is the functional equivalent of Obama.

Speaker Gingrich made history and helped create a conservative movement, Romney has a single failed term in office as a liberal.

Mitt needs to strap that dog onto the top of his station wagon and take a vacation. Geez!

I think he should take the high road. Say something like “Well, clearly SC had a different view than Gov Romney. I’m happy to let the voters here in FL decide. Let them decide what failed leadership is. Is it the 1st conservative majority in 40 years? Is it 11 million new jobs? Is it cutting spending to historic lows? Is it not only reducing the deficit but eliminating it entirely? Is it 4 straight balanced budgets? Is it major entitlement reform? If they think that’s failed leadership I’ll accept their verdict. I think they’ll agree with their friends in SC”

Hard to believe FReepers supported this jackass.

Not a conservative bone in his body.

Now he reveals his true self

I know this is petty, but would someone get mitt a tailor? Every oxford he wears looks at least a size and a half too big. And could he roll up his sleeves once in a while? He looks like such a dweeb. Hey mitt, two words-european cut!!

Every time Romney opens his liberal mouth I want to smack him. The man is becoming more vile by the hour.
I do not see how anyone can support him and call themselves conservative or even Republican.

I do not think he can. Romney actually beleives this election is owed to him and he is pissed that voters do not see that.

Well, Mitt, even given your putrid premise, he is still better than you. Even on those terms, he’s at least been a leader, not an unpricipaled poll following flim-flam used car salesman like you.
