We all know the media lies, but lets hope the rest of the country knows it.
Because there is nothing that makes conservatives stand up and salute quicker than a pronouncement from Tom Brokow. How clever of Mitt to know exactly how to appeal to conservative voters.
And...that's telling the truth...not pulling twisted, dated newsbites out of the air.
Awfully bold of Romney, to air a discredited report by a discredited reporter. Sad thing is, plenty of people will accept the “history lesson” as truthful.
Btw thank you for all your excellent posts.
Perhaps that’s the reason for the love fest with the liberal RNC , MSM and establishment RINO’s . The only major difference between Mitt and the bamster is Mitt will be happy to show his birth certificate .
I was just talking with someone (another Newt supporter) yesterday regarding how very few potential Conservative/Republican voters today have any memory of how Newt Gingrich was Palinized by the combined forces of the Establishment GOP, the DNC, and the MSM. Imagine the scorched earth policy towards Sarah Palin, only in the days before an internet presence, talk radio, or Fox News.
I worried out loud that it seems Newt may assume that people know what he’s talking about when, as happened on Greta’s interview yesterday, he was asked why Tom Delay and former House colleagues were condemning him now. Newt just chuckled and answered, “Tom Delay was one of the leaders of the coup against me.” Of course, that answer makes total sense to explain DeLay’s behavior towards Newt today, but only if the listener knows the history to which Newt was referring. What percentage of people are going to understand that?
Same with the ethics investigation.
IMO, the Newt campaign needs to find a highly visible and not overly complicated means to educate American voters about Newt’s congressional history, and what happened to him there. In other words, Newt needs a mini-version of Sarah Palin’s “Undefeated”. Quickly.
Here are the facts quoted from "What really happened in the Gingrich ethics case?" by Byron York in the Washington Examiner: Stunned by their loss of control of the House -- a loss engineered by Gingrich -- House Democrats began pushing a variety of ethics complaints against the new Speaker...It ended with a special counsel hired by the House Ethics Committee holding Gingrich to an astonishingly strict standard of behavior, after which Gingrich in essence pled guilty to two minor offenses. Afterwards, the case was referred to the Internal Revenue Service, which conducted an exhaustive investigation into the matter....the IRS concluded that Gingrich did nothing wrong. Gingrich was exonerated. The bottom line: Gingrich acted properly and violated no laws. But if Gingrich is to have any hope of climbing out from under the allegations, he'll have to find some way of letting people know what really happened.
