New Romney Ad smears Newt over old ethics charges

I trust Newt.

I do not trust Romney.

I despise Michael Moore and he once said that Americans are stupid, and unfortunately he is right. They listen to the lamestream media like this trashy ad.

The candidates have to focus on Obama as a failure and stop attacking each other. Many people have said this but they just don't listen. They are ruining any chance of replacing Obama with a republican and ruining the image of the republican party. They are like a bunch of school kids in a p----ng contest.

I am a Gingrich supporter, and even he is responsible for attacking the others especially Romney. I will vote for any republican nominated just to rid this country of the Obama regime. He has created such misery with his failed policies. I weep for the future of America because of Obama.

The Power Hungry Mitt. Like I've always known.

What is it about CLEARED OF CHARGES does Mitt Romney not want to acknowledge?

No Mitt .. we didn't want you in 2008 and guess what .. WE STILL DON'T!

Romney said, during the Iowa Caucus, that he had raised a lot of money and he was going to use it to get elected...no matter what it takes.

Look! He made a statement/promise and he's delivering on it.

This is who Romney -- the candidate -- is. Do you believe that Romney -- the President -- will be any different?

Does anyone reading this believe that this candidate is worthy of your respect?

Do you think he respects you?

Remember this is the candidate who said in the first two debates that he would give wavers to ObamaCare to every citizen...not repeal it but waver it and then fix it. That is the position of a Moderate at best. But, he has since moved to the right on that issue. He now says he will repeal ObamaCare.

What position do you think will he take in the General Election?

You can have my vote Nukefriend!!!

This site is quite open about the process of choosing the most conservative candidate. Romney has never been at the top of that list here, or pretty much any conservative-oriented site you want to go to.

Republican-oriented sites like Red State have been all about winning for the Republican party. That's an entirely different concept. Many at those places are supporting Romney. That doesn't magically confer "conservative" status to their candidate. He's the least conservative of the four (even though Ron Paul isn't an actual conservative, he's still to the right of Romney on most issues).

Your newness here means you've missed a lot of posts covering the topics you mention. Why not take the time to catch up before assuming they are being ignored?

Uppercase text doesn't improve your position. Newt didn't resign in disgrace, but he did resign under pressure. Only the media and you Romney supporters ever inflated that to equal "disgrace."

Which, by the way, is a disgusting maneuver.

Read the article Scoop posted. You don't have to like the facts, but you can't get around them by shouting.

The Beckster and Romulus both clam to to walk the high ground of truth and when it comes down to it both are involved in a false religion that mocks Christianity and are trying to infiltrate the True Church of Yeshua and contaminate it with their lies...they say "we are all Christians" Really!!!!!...those who would destroy a thing must start inside a thing...thus Christianity is being destroyed from with in...don't believe me....just look around....the U.S.A. and look at the violence...sexual abuse of women and children...young people destroying themselves with drugs- sexually transmitted diseases and on and on...and Romulus just continues his lies and so does the beckster......

This is obviously satire. Well done!

Mittens is going to be in Naples Florida tomorrow, but there will be a bunch of folks there who will be waving Santorum signs. I know not many folks like Rick, but I gotta love the spunk of his followers- mittens is a low life jerk.

Even Rubio can't bail out this guy. It would be political suicide for Rubio.

Not likely.

How did Romney lie? He showed a news clip. That's it. Republicans voted overwhelmingly to admonish Gingrich. This all happened, this is all history.

Sad to see 'historian' Newt trying to rewrite it.

GOOD NEWS - The Media Research council will evaluate media coverage of GOP primary campaign as well as the General Election. http://cnsnews.com/news/article/bozell-news-media-fasten-your-seatbelts-folks-we-re-coming-after-you

Their mission is to expose media lies... heh-heh-heh.

You called it. Mitt will run to the center so fast his supporters will fall over from the vacuum.

And by "the center," I mean "Obama's hip pocket."

That would be nice, but it's illegal for candidates to make cabinet declarations/promises before they are elected. Newt waded into hot water earlier when he said he would ask John Bolton to be Sec. of Defense. They're not allowed to do that.

Ditto!

As usual Palin is right. The GOP elites are simply the flip side of the same coin as the Democrat leftists.

The GOP must be conquered or die otherwise the election is meaningless.

Romney will NEVER get my vote.

You took the words right out of my mouth. He's blaming everyone else but his own bad self for these ads.

NOPE.

To Quote the inimitable and fearless Ann Barnhardt: "GO HOME WILLARD!"

Romney's only salvation is a public admission, confession, heart-felt apology, owning-up of this and ALL the other lies and to fall on the mercy of Newt and the People of The United States of America.

Brokaw doesn't approve now because he was being his usual slimeball self back then trying to wipe out Republicans just like his Statesman piss-ant peer Dan Rather.

I can't see it either.

You're right. Dems in a House did exactly to him what they did to Sarah Palin in Alaska: overload with ethics charges until it becomes too difficult to do your job anymore. Both Newt and Palin cut their losses and got out while they could.

This is exactly the kind of campaign we need to run against Obama. Newt is scared to run an aggressive campaign.

He submitted false information during the course of the investigation.

For the record, I haven't ever been sued at all--and I hold nothing against him for having been sued--the thing that Mitt has been criticizing him for isn't that he was sued but that in the process of the investigation, he submitted false information and was found to have violated ethics rules--a finding that was made by the House of Representatives in an overwhelming vote.

Sorry, I misread what you were trying to say.

The fine was levied on him by a House vote.

You're right. I was unaware of the fact that Newt wasn't fined $300,000 for ethics violations. What was he fined $300,000 for, and why did the Congress--Democrats and Republicans--fine him $300,000 for submitting false information, which was an ethics violation?

So, the thought here is "Mitt so good at slinging mud! Just think how good he'll be at slinging mud at Obama!" Sorry, Jaynie, but he won't beat Obama at his own game. Leave the left to these kinds of tactics, and let's pick a nominee who has some shred of decency.

Well, I'd still rather be known for being courteous, even in disagreement.

Sorry. I could use a better tone. It's just INCREDIBLY frustrating that people are buying into Mitt's dishonesty.

Gawd I dont know what to do to stop this guy. Right down the street from my house they are all gathered on the corner for Romney. Signs all over and not ONE sign or person for any other candidate in town that I have seen.

I hope TeaParty comes out in numbers and VOTES NO ROMNEY. AOB-MITT (ANYONE BUT MITT)

Really Mitt? Brokaw? REALLY? You're using him in your ad? Very telling if you ask me, you fraud.

Despicable.

Romney has been spinning, twisting, and contorting himself for so long, he has lost track of reality. He's fooled himself into justifying whatever wrong to get what he wants. He discards the truth and uses leftists' smears, as may suit his own interest, to fool and push around everyone and everything standing in the way of his power quest.

Romney actually testifies that he approves Tom Brokaw's thinly-veiled, self-righteous glee over charges of which Gingrich has been thoroughly exonerated. Romney ought to be too ashamed to show his face. But, then again, this may just be standard operating procedure for him.

I could never tolerate the unshakable disgust of voting for a candidate who brazenly propagates statist lies, whether Obama or Romney.

One thing is for certain. I can't support anyone who is such a slime ball. And, Romney is a low-life slime ball, folks. He did the same stuff in 2008 against Huckabee, McCain and Giuliani. I remember it well. He's a liar and a phony. At least someone like Ron Paul says what he is. I may not agree with him, but he tells me who he is. I also now know who in the GOP I can consider conservative and who I can't. This includes large and in charge so-called conservatives like Coulter and Christie. Yep. I'm learning a great deal this election year. I will remember, too.

I would LOVE for him to do that again with this ad. Just throw another lie on top of it! That'll get you some votes with the American people! Does he think we're that stupid?

Newt Gingrich was fined $300,000 for ethics violations. Is that a "smear" or a "fact"? Anyone want to dispute that Gingrich was fined $300,000 for ethics violations?

What is it with Newt Gingrich and his denial of objective facts?
