Mitt Romney attacked his GOP presidential rival Newt Gingrich over what has to date been one of Gingrichs most effective debate methods going after the moderators and the media for questions he deems inappropriate.
Its very easy to talk down a moderator, Romney said Wednesday on Fox News. The moderator asks a question and then has to sit by and take whatever you send to them. And Speaker Gingrich has been wonderful at attacking the moderators and attacking the media.

Romney has become Ann Coulters puppet. Ann-the-Man said these very words in her interview with O’Reilly on Monday. The video of that interview is somewhere upstream.

Before any candidate answers any question from these moderators they should ask the moderator if they have ever asked Obama that exact same question first?

“...Romney attacks GOP rival...”
Who the hell needs Democrats when we have people like this in our own party?

Romney is as dumb as a box of rocks. The box of rocks in my lab is offended.
Romney is dumber than a box of rocks ... and the rocks still don't like being used as the reference for dumbness.

Romney has no idea how to fight, let alone which subjects to address.
What could cause him to believe that defending the media is a worthwhile effort?

Newt may be a blowhard egotistical narcissist, But he's OUR blowhard egotistical narcissist, dangit, and sometimes you need to have a jerk on your team.

Romney’s “business successes” were a scam. He basically bought off companies or paid off their owners to leverage the companies and loot their assets. The creditors took the losses when the companies went bankrupt and Romney and co. made off with the cash. When a company goes bankrupt but the owners still walk away with millions in profits, you have to know there is something wrong with that picture.

No offense intended toward rocks...or boxes, for that matter.;-) They are both superior to Romney.
I can't tell if Romney is really this stupid or if Newt is baiting him.

Correct. Newt has the MSM against the ropes now. If he were to stop punching, it would be the equivalent of having his own bimbo eruption back in 1998 when he had Clinton on the ropes and folded like a cheap lawn chair.
The enemedia needs to be permanently discredited even if they succeed in forcing this country to endure another four years of ObaMao as their last hurrah.

Is Mittens too dense to realize he has to at least pretend he has some conservative values? Perhaps the GOP has reached the stage where they know they’ll get the conservative vote without even going through the motions of b.s.ing them?

yes Romney really believes this as he is the establishment.
They are so wrapped up in their elitist establishment circles that they actually think that if they go with the left and work with them then the MSM will call them a name...
Romney is way out of touch much like most are up in the north east when it comes to the rest of the country.
I’ll guarantee you this. I will not vote for Romney and if he gets the nomination then I’ll be at home and the establishment candidates will never get any support in any way shape or form off me or my family

I can't tell if Romney is really this stupid or if Newt is baiting him. It might be both. Newt seems to be taking his campaign "outside the box"; a good thing, IMO. He needs to defeat R0mney, then he needs to defeat both the Leftist Media and Barry Hussein. This will not be accomplished by politics as usual. Much as I like Santorum, and I'm glad he's running, I seriously doubt that he will be the nominee or that he should be. Newt is a street fighter. Santorum is not.

So,............Is it appropriate for Romney to attack Newt 24/7 with lies, and bogus information, as well as making deep personal cuts that are crossing the line into the realm of slander?
Just wondering.........
