Mitt Romney is getting some heavy air support in Michigan the state where he was born and raised as the super PAC supporting him invests almost $500,000 on television ads there.
According to someone who tracks Republican media spending, Restore Our Future has committed just over $470,000 for commercials starting Tuesday and set to run through Feb. 20. That marks the groups largest purchase yet in Michigan, where it will have spent more than $700,000 on ads by next week.
The group said Monday that it would continue for now to run an ad called Risk that targets Newt Gingrich using images and attacks that have by now become familiar advertising fodder. It cites the proliferation of earmarks during his tenure as House speaker and shows a shot of him sitting with Nancy Pelosi on a couch in front of the Capitol, a shot taken from a public service announcement on global warming.

Oh yea, ZIP-ZERO-NADA! He endorsed a socialist just for kicks!
And then there was Natzi Pelosi's loveseat....
Newt's demonstrated some pretty poor judgement on many occasions!
Oh I have pics of Santorum endorsing the PRO CHOICE abortion loving Romney and the pro choice abortion loving Spector and the pro choice abortion loving Sonia Sotomyer..and a pic of Santorum with Hillary and Lieberman supporting 90 MILLION dollar legislation to conduct a study on the affects of watching tv has on children.
You want to play that game?
That's ok. Newt's an elephant. 105 THOUSAND muscles in the trunk! That's a fact.
That’s all nasty newties have....games!
Yep, Big gov’t Rick needs to be destroyed.
Do you really see Newt sitting beside Pelosi as that big of a deal. RS will continue to grow gov’t, which is what is killing American jobs.
RS helped to send American jobs overseas by attacking big tobacco with the Clinton’s. I guess he didn’t care because they weren’t from PA. He and Romney have been in a pac together. He helped destroy many southern jobs or Tobacco state jobs. Thanks slick Rick.
I didn’t know that but it goes along with his record of ‘not conservative’. He’s big gov’t with his controlling other’s ‘rights’. So he sided with sending jobs off shore, higher taxes added to the product for punishment, and stealing the God-given rights of others. He’s not conservative never mind ‘the most’. His supporters are RINO’s - basically rats disguising themselves for credibility.
Games? Guess what - you guys are being played with and too clueless to even know it and some don’t even give a flip. You are literally handing over our country to the enemy and your hands will never be clean again.
GO NEWT! WOOT! WOOT!
Good to know that Newt’s supporters hold the view that social conservatives are considered “the enemy”, moreso than Obumbler and Slick Willard.
I think you should be wary of your reading comprehension - instead of seeing just what you want to see.
That’s probably why you can’t see what RS’s record really is!
“There is ZERO to bash Santorum on.”
Isn’t it enough to say that Santorum does not have the vision or guts to turn this country around? Is that bashing? Why Newt? Because he’s done it before! In fact, he is the last one to get anything conservative done on a large scale since Reagan. The country’s been going down hill ever since Newt was forced out of leadership by the RINO’s.
“Newt’s an elephant. 105 THOUSAND muscles in the trunk! That’s a fact.”
You’ve got that right.
Chuck Norris is preparing to round kick someone. Just wait until Super Tuesday.
It’s so good to see you! ;o)
You, too, FRiend! “;^)

Dede Scozzafava Endorsement
Newt has admitted it was a mistake to back Dede Scozzafava, the Republican nominee in the 2009 NY-23 special election.
Whether it was helping to build the Republican Party of Georgia back when Democrats controlled the entire state or leading the nationwide effort in 1994 to break 40 years of Democratic rule in the House, Newt has always tried to advance the cause of a truly conservative Republican party. This has always meant supporting the most conservative nominee possible as selected by Republican primary voters.
Therefore, Newt will almost always back the nominee of the Republican party and not back an independent candidate in a race against a Democratic candidate.
Newt still believes in this principle, however, he has admitted it was a mistake to back Dede Scozzafava, the Republican nominee in the 2009 NY-23 special election. Although she was the Republican nominee, the problem was that Republican primary voters did not pick her, the local party leaders did, otherwise her liberal views would have prevented her from becoming the nominee. The Conservative Party candidate whom Scozzafava was running against, Doug Hoffman, recently remarked about Newt’s endorsement of his rival, “I would advise other conservative republicans: Don’t hold this against him.”

Global Warming/Cap and Trade
Newt does not believe there is a settled scientific conclusion about whether industrial development has dramatically contributed to a warming of the atmosphere.
Newt absolutely opposes cap and trade as well as any system of taxing carbon emissions. He testified before Congress against it in 2009 and led a grassroots effort while the Chairman of American Solutions to block its passage in the House and Senate.
Newt believes that cap and trade would kill hundreds of thousands of American jobs, cause electricity and fuel prices to skyrocket, and make America poorer. In contrast, Gingrich believes the best way to protect the environment is through markets, incentives, and entrepreneurs, who quite often are deploying innovative new technologies.
As for the question of whether industrial development has dramatically contributed to a warming of the atmosphere, Newt has noted there is no settled scientific conclusion. Many scientists believe it is the case. Others do not. But this unsettled scientific question has nothing to do with the best approach to protecting our environment, which is always markets, incentives, and entrepreneurs creating better and more efficient products and services.
Q: So why did Newt do the ad with Nancy Pelosi in 2007 calling for action to address climate change?
Newt does not believe there is a settled scientific conclusion about whether industrial development has dramatically contributed to a warming of the atmosphere.
Through his entire career, Newt has supported pro-market, pro-entrepreneur, innovative solutions to our environmental challenges, which he believes are superior to the liberal pro-bureaucracy, pro-tax, pro-regulation approach to the environment.
Newt believes that conservatives cannot be absent from the conversation about the environment and instead that conservatives must offer and explain why conservative solutions are better. Unfortunately, the attempt to get that message out through the ad with Nancy Pelosi failed. On November 8, 2011, Newt told FOX News Bret Baier that doing that commercial with Pelosi was probably the dumbest single thing Ive ever done.
Newt will continue to oppose the Democrats destructive cap-and-trade and carbon tax proposals, continue to support expanded domestic oil and gas drilling, and continue to fight for a fundamental replacement of the job-killing Environmental Protection Agency with an Environmental Solutions Agency.
