Romney blasts Gingrich over attacks on debate moderators, news media
The Hill ^ | 1/25/2012 | Jonathan Easley

Posted on 01/25/2012 8:58:10 AM PST by Thane_Banquo

Mitt Romney attacked his GOP presidential rival Newt Gingrich over what has to date been one of Gingrich’s most effective debate methods — going after the moderators and the media for questions he deems inappropriate.

“It’s very easy to talk down a moderator,” Romney said Wednesday on Fox News. “The moderator asks a question and then has to sit by and take whatever you send to them. And Speaker Gingrich has been wonderful at attacking the moderators and attacking the media.”

First, is Romney stupid enough to believe he's going to get points in a GOP primary for coming to the defense of the liberal media? Second, doesn't Romney realize that the media are going to try to destroy the GOP candidate in the general election and do everything they can to ensure an Obama victory? Being able to attack the media is a pre-requisite for the nomination this year.

At first, I thought this was satire.

Romney is as dumb as a box of rocks.

Newt must have a mole in the Mitt machine. How else would he think to say something so stupid?

I wasn’t a bit Romney supporter before. But this badly damages him in my eyes. I’m starting to wonder if we might be better off with a new face in the Republican field.

Mitt just doesnt get it! The polls are reflecting his ignorance of the conservative way.

I am telling you, the consultants for both candidates do not believe it is profitable to run against the media. They don’t get it. Newt ignores his consultants but I know for a fact some of his consultants this this is true. Apparently Mitt believes his idiot consultants.

They all live in NY or DC and they have zero idea - they are clueless - how the normal person feels about the media.

I think we could use one less face in the Republican field, because Romney should be running for the Democratic nomination.

Maybe Romney is that stupid? Is there a really smart chief of staff behind his business successes? Inquiring minds want to know!!!

Romney really has no clue. He is so out of touch with his bas it is unreal. He will be a disaster as the GOP nominee!

As much as I hate Barack, I will never vote for Romney. Atleast the GOP will have some motivation to fight against liberalism coming from Obama’s Admin.

This is one of those posts where I had to go read the piece to make sure this was not bogus.

Romney is so foolish here on so many levels it is hard to list them all. The main issue is that he is spitting on the people he wants to support him. A close second is the fact that while Gingrich hits back he also ANSWERS the question.

Romney is just kissing the butt of his liberal buddies at fox, abc, cbs, nbc, and cnn. lol

What an idiot, good thing this man inherited millions and millions because poor fella could never make it on his own. The man doesn’t have enought sense to walk in out of the rain.

The man is desperate, Newt has him rattled......!

So what grade did Romney get in the obama School of Appeasement. Clearly he thinks if he throws a bone to the MSM they’ll help him get the nod. But if he got the nod they’ll jump from his ship as fast as the skipper of the Costa Concordia.

In every presidential race the MSM wields less power and the internet increases in power. We’re seeing it here in what is happening with Newt. Imagine his comments in a world reported to 99% of americans via the 6 o’clock news on ABC, NBC and SeeBS... Romney would be all we have by now.
