Romney ad:"While FL families lost everything in the housing crisis, Newt Gingrich cashed in.”

@SamStein New Romney ad in florida: "While Florida families lost everything in the housing crisis, Newt Gingrich cashed in.”


Newt is loathsome but to see Romney - Mr. Bain "Layoff, Outsourcing, Pension-stealing, 1%" King trying to make this argument is just ridiculous.

Truly.

Don't think Newt won't pull Romney's pants down on this one. We don't even have to lift a finger.

I'm sure the difference Romney wants to push is the inclusion of the big, bad government but the government has had to bail out pensions that Romney raided so...

I can't believe they are having another debate tonight ... and then another one before the Florida Primary date only 10 days away.

because Romney has shown how horrible a campaigner he is & that his entire life story makes him the perfect example of the hated 1%. Newt is just a walking, talking bomb ready to explode at anytime along with being a particularly loathsome, vile excuse for a human being.

I still seem to be naturally inclined to want Mitt to lose the nomination but I dread the idea of dealing with Newt's disgusting rhetoric all the way up to election day.

However, if it helps Dems take back the House & keep the Senate then ... GIVE ME NEWT!

Mr. Moneybags or Chucky?

If the Democrats mess this one up, it'll be the biggest upset since Spinks beat Ali.




Edited for spelling... don't want anyone to think I meant the DJ and not the psychotic doll.
