I think what we saw yesterday (bloody Thursday) was not so much an attempt to persuade with the substance of the accusations, it was more psychological ....the shear mass was meant to be the payload. As time goes on and the lies are put to rest the Romney camp will have very little to use going forward. If Newt can weather this storm and turn it around on Romney, make him out to be a liar, Newt will once again rise from the ashes.....
There is still time before Tues to convince voters Romney lies.
Is Huckabee lending his voice to the ad, or is it an excerpt from a speech?
If Republicans treat Republicans this way, then they need to run the general election on issues such as fast & furious, cocaine, homosexuality, birth certificates, and islam. If the GOP nominee decides to be genteel and polite instead, then we just have a second Whig party and I don't have to pay attention to them for the rest of my life.
For me, 2012 is make or break for the Republican Party. I want Obama attacked with ads like this one.
I’m not the professional ad writer, but...I’d rather see an ad using Romney saying of RombamaCare, “It’s nothing to get angry about.” Also that comment he made, disparaging Newt for actually bothering to learn about local concerns like Charleston Harbor and NASA — that was idiotic. Those things aren’t local. Improved harbors and the space program are valuable to everyone and Newt is to be commended for being informed on them.
I supported Newt from the beginning because he concentrated on Obama and refused to obey the MSM script which called for every GOP candidate tearing apart every other GOP candidate.
All the candidates would do well to realize that the reason Newt got a bump was his push against the left and particularly the MEDIA. If they don’t get smart soon we can rest assured that the 11th commandement by RR was lost on this group of candidates, who declare they are like Ronnie...not.
But Romney has his blind trust running his ads, so he’s OK.
I'm not really fond of Newt, but he will be a considerable improvement over what we have in the white house now.
He's going to need the Santorum voters, the Romney voters, even a few of the Ron Paul voters plus a few more to carry him over the finish line.
Its time to turn the guns around to face Obama. The GOP race is over after Newt wins Florida. Short of the Newtzilla doing himself in, there is nothing to stop him after Florida.
Newt needs to stick to Newt. I follow a several other blogs and he isn’t doing himself any good right now with the school yard arguing. His staff should find a way for him to stay above the fray, somehow.
Gingrich questions Romney's truthfulness in new TV ad (Mittens Caught Lying)
It's time for Newt to go to the mattresses.
Whatever happened to the L-word? Is Newt afraid to simply call Romney out on his intentional lies? This is no to be time timid. Timid is a loser.
Newt missed a great opportunity last night.
CNN called out Romney when they said Romney, after Mitt’s denial and ignorance, was in fact running anti-Newt ads about “ghetto” language, saying that the ads ended with Mitt’s vice approving the ad.
Newt should have said that it is obvious the type of president Mitt would become... the buck not stopping at his office... denying anything that goes wrong in his administration... sounding much like Holder in the fast and furious scandal... sounding like Obama.
If Mitt cannot control and take responsibility in a campaign, just think what his administration will be like.
I think they should just put out a video with Romney’s best “I don’t know,” “I don’t remember,” or “I have people to do that for me” moments. You know, referring to ads he has personally endorsed, his last year’s tax returns or what he invests his money in or even where it goes. This is a businessman?
Newt was unfaithful in the PAST. He admitted his errors and changed.
Romney is a liar NOW. He admits nothing and hasn’t changed his ways.
The real story here is that ABC News apparently has someone on the inside of whatever production company Newt is using for this ad.
Surely Newt himself isn’t leaking the script - why would he give away its contents to Mitt before the ad can even air and have an impact?
