SC Republicans Boo Newt Gingrich Over Romney Attacks

The only attacks that will work against Romney are towards his business record. Indeed, the only effective way to attack Romney is to attack his “electability” and Bain record. The only reason Romney is cruising to the nomination is that the Republicans think he is “electable” in the general election. Attacking Romney as a closet liberal (and his liberal Mass. record) does nothing because Republicans already know that and are holding their noses while voting. Attacking Romney as a liberal also only strengthens his general electability – so actually such attacks help Romney win the primary. The only attack that could possible work and prevent what seems to be the inevitable Romney nomination, is an attack on Romney’s business record (his greatest perceived strength) and general electability. That is what Gingrich, Perry, and Santorum should be doing. Attack Romney for ripping companies apart and swindling employees and the US taxpayers. Attack him for evading taxes – ask for his tax return. Make the case that when Romney’s tax returns become available he and Bain would become the poster boys for the Buffet rule. Make the case that when people see what the wall-street vulture capitalists like Romney pay in taxes – we can kiss good buy the Bush tax cut extension! Attack Romney just as Obama would attack him so that the voters see that he is not as “electable” as advertised! There is no other way of preventing a Romney nomination!

The only other way to defeat Romney is for Gingrich, huntsman and santorum to drop out and rally behind paul. It is becoming clear that paul is the only non-Romney alternative with the enthusiasm, fundraising ability and staying power to defeat Romney and ultimately Obama. Mitt doesn’t have a snowballs chance of defeating Obama and we all know it. Obama inspired a youth movement in 2008 that propelled him just as the youth is propelling paul today. Disagree with their policies if you must but both Obama and paul are principled people. The country would benefit greatly by having a spirited debate about their respective political philosophies.

Ron Paul is who the constitution would vote for if the constitution could vote. War is not the answer, life liberty and the pursuit of happiness is. Any slick talker can lie his way into the white house, it takes a real man to stand up for “we the people”. I hope this country realizes that before it’s too late. Liberty now! Ron Paul in 2012!

There’s a reason why no one in Congress during the years of the Gingrich speakership came out in support of Newt – I sort of think I saw something about Clyburn appearing with Newt but of course Clyburn’s a democrat.

Newt has a lot of trouble following the rules. He is NOT on the ballot in his home state of Virginia because he failed to follow the rules. Newt was thrown out of Congress because he failed to follow the rules. I believe that there is trend here. Imagine the rules that he would break as the next president.

Let’s see. Conservatives shouldn’t criticize any form of American’s business capitalism, right?

Well it’s interesting to watch how Romney and the GOP zombies collectively lecture conservatives on how not to question Romney’s past business practices, aka, under his American capitalism umbrella?

It’s also interesting that the GOP operative thugs think all Corporate Raiders operate under the same capitalism umbrella, above any scrutiny?

The same capitalism business umbrella principles supporting those who perform paid fetal abortions?

Merely claiming capitalism is off the table to shield Romney from any scrutiny is a lam argument. You need to check your rationale behind that!

True conservatives are asking Romney only to support his prior job creation claims. He should call off the GOP hit men, and show the same “broad shoulders” as Newt. Good Luck with your Guy!

Nonneocon: The only reason that Congress won’t back Newt is because he knows where all the bones are buried. They know if he becomes President, they won’t be able to get away with the BS they do now, and they will have to do their jobs. The truth hurts! Newt is the ONLY candidate that can make America sound and the shining city on the hill, once again!

If Ron Paul were a little more passionate about defending this country from those seeking to destoy us, I would be inclined to vote for him. He has stated that he is ok with Iran obtaining a nuke. Am I to trust Ron Paul’s indifference to the fact that if a suicide bomber had access to a nuclear weapon, they wouldn’t use it?

Romney is just what we need as a nation – a corporate raider in the White house would clean out the governmnet deadwood skating on the tax payeres dollar, get rid of losers beginning with Obummer’s czarsand demolish Obamacare. I hope romney fires them all, making Amrica lean and mean and financially healthy. He can do it. go romney!!!

This crowd booing was a set up by the GOP higher ups and Fox News. They wanted to get this on tape. Most of those people were most likely hired by Fox or Romney to boo Gingrich

Ron Paul was right to skip this biased candidate’s forum held by Mike “Huckelberry”. First things first, Mike “Huckelberry” has already endorsed Mitt Romney, so all of the other candidates that did choose to show up for this so=called forum only proved how desperate they are to get some face time, and that tyhey are all chumps! Second, and probably more important is the fact that Mike “Huckelberry” endorsed Mitt Romney at all, which proved that “Huckelberry” IS in fact an establishment puppet just as I always believed he was. How absolutely disgusting!
Ron Paul avoided the other clown debate with Donald Trump, and was right to avoid this one with “Huckelberry”; a man whose religious beliefs can be bought by the establishment! “Huckelberry” has proven to be as bad a flip-flopper as the clown he endorsed!

I prefer a principled, constitutionalist, which is Ron Paul. However, I could live with a realist like Mitt Romeny.

On the other hand, it would be a disaster to get a warfare/welfare supporter like Gingrich or Santorum as chief executive.

Newt can now stop and go home…sore loser, pathetic, and no chance to beat Obababa

So, the guy asks Newt to explain attacking another candidate, and then Newt isn’t allowed to mention that candidate. It was a gotcha question. Huckabee wanted to be a conservative president, and he lost. You can watch him talk about Gingrich and tell he’s not a big fan. I think he’s jealous.

Newt wasn’t “booed”. There were forum ground rules that included not attacking other candidates…but Newt wasn’t doing that. He was saying we needed to bring facts out in any case..not leaving out an entire section…as Obama would not. He was stressing that we must be able to respond when the time comes for the nominee to debate Obama.

Did the writer of this article actually see that Interviwe???

Doesn’t bode for the entire state of SC that a few people booed Gingrich. In fact, Newt is much more organized in SC than Romney. He has a much bigger presence here, and is better received. This story is anecdotal at best.

Much ado about nothing All Barack Channel. Newt was chastised by Huckabee for bringing up Romney’s name, but there wasn’t massive booing. As a matter of fact, he received a good deal of applause after he answered the question. There seemed to be a lot of Paul supporters in attendance, even though he refused to attend, so that may be where most of the booing originated.

Newtonce again proved why he is the best candidate for the republican nominee. As for the “boos” the man that asked the question directly provoked Newt into using Romney’s name. That is clear. Newt also got the loudest and longest applause.

And Paul is trailing in SC and knows he can’t ride in second on the coat tails of the liberals and Indie ticket, SC being mainly republican. So he chickened out but mainly he doesn’t care about those that won’t swallow his pacifist, pot smoking agenda.

Newt is the only GOP candidate capable to defeat Obama. The problem is, establishment hates him, because he once brought uncomfortable changes to Washington. So, GOP elite would rather loose elections, shoving unelectable corporate raider down our throats, then risk Newt doing what is necessary to put country on the right track. Romney has no chance of winning, because his LBO deals financed Michael Milken junk bonds are the same type of outrageous excess as subprime deals financed by CDO tranches. GOP elite tries to silence Gingrich and sweep this under the carpet, but Obama surely has enough firepower to explain all the details in general elections.

I don’t know if Mr. Karl was in the same SC Republican forum…what BOO???? Our voters do not benefit with this type of coverage….Mr. Karl seems to be booing one of the best candidate from the bunch in his own mind. We need to have people covering the news who care more about the truth than the title of “their story.” Newt has the best ideas the best character and the best heart to run against Obama…and this “want to be newscasters” have the least courage to step up and display the man he really is and the president that he can be….

“If Ron Paul were a little more passionate about defending this country from those seeking to destoy us, I would be inclined to vote for him. He has stated that he is ok with Iran obtaining a nuke. Am I to trust Ron Paul’s indifference to the fact that if a suicide bomber had access to a nuclear weapon, they wouldn’t use it?”

The people trying to destroy this country are not in Tehran. They are in Washington DC, and they already control more than enough nukes to destroy, not only Iran, but the entire Middle East several times over.

Bain Capital is actually Romney’s strong suit. So, an attack there is little to gain and lots to lose. Besides that, but you can see Obama’s crew and the MSM (same thing, really) taping all that stuff for attack ads after the Conventions. Mitt does have problems: Gun Control, Cap & Trade, Romneycare, and possibly others that data miners may find. That said, there is nobody on that stage who shouldn’t be able to beat the Poser in Chief.

Got yourself a GOP Kennedy, do you?

POSTED BY: ALAN | JANUARY 14, 2012, 4:48 PM 4:48 PM, what did Romney do at Bain that is so terrible, did not the present administration do the same thing or worse, getting people layed off while bailing out the car companies, thousands lost their jobs, entire car lines were shut down, Solindra was told to hold of on the layoffs untill after the election, did not the present administration play venture capitalist and lost every time, TAXPAYERS MONEY, Bain ( private money) took companies that were going bankrupt because of mismanagement layed people off that were just warming a seat made it profitable and then sold them. So would you rather have the company go bankrupt and ALL employees lose their jobs. So before you put your 2 cents in think first. Apparently you forgotten that we will get the biggest tax increase in american history curtesy of Pres.Obama come Jan.1, 2013, kind of funny its going into effect AFTER the elections.

For those of you saying that you like Ron Paul excePt for his foreign policy, I implore you to do some research. America has been playing an extremely active role in the middle east for over fifty years, often resulting in deaths, so is there any wonder there is so much hostility to America,

Ron Paul wants to follow the constitution. That means going to the congress to declare war.

Unless you want to vote in another neocon puppet into the white house, vote Ron Paul – the modern day Thomas Jefferson.

FLASHBAK CBS interview Jan 2008: HUCKABEE: “You know, what Mitt Romney did is admirable in some quarters, but in some ways, there are a lot of people who lost their jobs when his company would take over, restructure a company, lay a lot of people off. Lot of times, the CEOs and the people at the top got some pretty huge bonuses and made a lot of money. A lot of people went home without a pension and a paycheck. I’m not sure that’s what Michigan’s looking for. ”
NY TIMES McCain: “…as head of his investment company he presided over the acquisition of companies that laid off thousands of workers.”

I watched the Forum this evening – twice. I liked the format because the candidates had no idea what was coming and had to respond quickly. In a situation you like you can really tell who can truly think on their feet. I though Romni gave political answers but he did answer the questions. Forget aboout Sanitariom – a nice guy but definitely not presidential material. Huntsman was his normal too-serious, dodge-ball self. I was very proud of Perry – he came through in spades and was very personable in doing it. Newt was Newt! Direct on the questions and instructional at the same time – I think I learn something about our government, our history and our constitution every time I hear him. It does some surprise me – it makes me angry – that in Iowa Romni and Paul spent over 7 million dollars attaching Gingrich and the only response by the media was, “Well, that’s politics!” But when Newt and his supporters begin to reveal the reality behind Romni’s “business experience”, he is berated as angry, jealous and a dirty politician. Nancy was correct – the RNC does not want Newt to be nominated – they are deathly afraid of him – he knows where the bones are buried and he knows how the system works and he has the establishment – including congress – shaking in their boots. But, Newt is the only one that could stand up to and defeat Obama in a face-to-face debate and he is the only one of the candidates that will do what he says he will do – no matter who gets in the way. Perry, unfortunately, can’t debate worth a whoop. Now, if the debate with Obama was held behind a roadhouse – in a circle of cowboys – Perry would take him in a second. I am afraid, however, that the Republicans (my chosen party, unfortunately) are going to shoot themselves in the foot agin by backing Romni but I have this scary feeling that Paul, the spoiler, and Romni’s backers are going to guarantee a second term for Obana. My wife said, and I agree, that the people of the U.S. generally get just what they deserve if they are not willing to stand up and be counted when it counts.

I watched it, they boo’d for a few seconds because Newt went out of the forum rules. I don’t think it was because he attacked Romney he just was breaking the rules of the format.

Romney has an outstanding resume, much to the chagrin of the intellectually challenged libtrolls who think corporations are evil and are still hoping Big Mommy government will take care of them from cradle to grave. Bain has some fantastic success stories like Staples, Sports Authority,and Domino’s Pizza, among others. Companies that are not profitable don’t survive in capitalist societies and will always fall to tougher competitors. This system produced the highest general standard of living in human history, as competition produces excellence, something government workers and politicians know nothing about. Read Romney’s resume. It makes Obama look like the infantile street corner activist he really is.

Hey “Babyboo”…. Since you point out that poll from Reuters that shows Romney up so far….. Go to the Reuters site and actually read the article. You will see that they polled an equal number of republicans and democrats, a ratio NOWHERE near accurate as it relates to a top primary. In addition, it was an online poll. That is methodology is not reliable.

I find it amusing once again that fox news refused to air the best pro-American candidate, Ron Paul. If you can’t see the bias by now, you are all blind.

It is amazing how easy people are manipulated by the liberal media. They have hyped Romney up as the next president and Huckabee is drinking the kool aid. Mitt Romney is the liberal democrat poster boy. They would love nothing more than Romney to win the nomination, because they know Obama can beat him. Even Jimmy Carter wants Romney to win. Newt Gingrich is the only candidate that can beat Obama in a debate. That is why the media has been making Gingrich out to be a bad guy. Sure Gingrich has some baggage, but he does not have more than Obama. We have never met any of Obama’s girlfriends or we have never heard from any students he taught law to. Why is that? While Ron Paul wants to drastically change our economic policies, he will literally destroy us with his foreign policies. We would probably end up with a bomb in the first year. Rick Santorum and Rick Perry are good candidates, but they do no have the experience or the historical knowledge Gingrich has. The only thing I can say about Huckabee is that he must want Obama to win since Obama will slaughter Romney in November. You better hope we all vet every candidate now before we go to the polls in November. If Romney cannot take the heat from Gingrich now, how will Romney handle it in October?

America Must Nuke Iran because they might have Nukes! …wow Americans are really that stupid and vengeful? What the Hell Happened to Jesus Christ???

It was not loud at all. Plus he didn’t attack Romney, he just mentioned one of Romney’s plans. I don’t get why the media wants Romney elected. I think it because they thinks he’s the only one Obama might be able to beat. If Romney wins it take obamacare off the table, if brought up in a debate Obama could simple say well you set up a healthcare plan in you state which was a model for obamacare.

BS article. and even bigger BS headline. The more journalists twist truth and write sensational headlines, the more it proves they actually don’t respect their own readers.

Newt Gingrich is 2 pts behind Romney in SC when considering Polls that allow ONLY REPUBLICANS to vote, everyone else (including Santorum) is waay back. NOTE: SC Primaries only allow Republicans to Vote.

The MSM is trying to hope the dishonest Flip-Romney by pointing to a Reuters/ISPOS poll that has him 21 points ahead. When you look closely at the poll, it was taken from 380 Republicans AND 380 Democrats. NOTE: I find it VERY interesting that Democrats would prefer Romney as the Republican Nominee.

Newt is the only True Conservative left in the race who can stop Romney. trash Obama in the debates, and lead the next Reagan Revolution. He has my vote.

For all those who have been lulled into the old “foreign policy scare” that the media has pushed on you about Ron Paul, consider the fact the now several high ranking CIA officials have confirmed that Ron Paul is correct on his foreign policy. And, you might want to also consider that Dr. Paul accurately predicted the housing boom and subsequent crash over 10 years before it happened. He has an eerie ability to see into the future and predict the outcome of our failed policies. Contrast that with all the others in congress and the media who were cheering on the banking cartel who orchestrated the fall of the American financial system.

I agree with some of what Ron Paul says, though not all of it. However, Romney isn’t so bad. As for the GOP, get ready to support Romney, because unless somehow the moderate Republicans turn around, which are a huge chunk of the GOP anyways, Romney will ultimately win. He’s captured enough of the caucuses that he doesn’t have so great of an uphill battle. As for Ron Paul, I would hope he has some decent books out there because I would promote them, he does have the ideas, and I would argue that plenty of his ideas are hitting somewhere. As for GOPers, it’s time to start worrying seriously about Congress, beause in the presidential race only the moderate and liberal candidates of both GOP and Democrat have the brains to make it through the caucuses and the primaries, it’s just how it is. The far right needs to accept that they will never have a candidate in line with their beliefs in the presidential election, and even in the primaries.
