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.”

Newt seems to be taking his campaign "outside the box"; a good thing, IMO. He needs to defeat R0mney, then he needs to defeat both the Leftist Media and Barry Hussein. This will not be accomplished by politics as usual.

Exactly......Newt said from the get go his campaign would not be traditional or the conventional... and there would be twists and turns along the way. We see that is so. So in doing this the media and the democrates never quite know what Newt's next moves might be, which is exactly how "fights" are won....and this Primary IS a fight with all those you have stated...it is not just against Romeny it's so far more than that.....

“Newt may be a blowhard egotistical narcissist,”

I have read these same words against Obama...

So please explain YOUR view on the differences between Obama and Newt Gingrich...

Inquiring minds want to know?

The only person MittCare Romney seems to be able to attack is Newt.

The LSM? Obama? Pelosi? Nope. Apparently he doesn’t consider them worth attacking. Probably because he’s closer aligned with these leftscum than he is with conservatives...

I was of the belief Romney was a “safe” but electable candidate, not what I wanted in the least but would be safe to win an election against a horrible president.. His behavior and statements in the past 2 weeks have shown in my eyes this guys electability is horrible.

Gingrich is showing just exactly how the left will destroy Romney in the general... while he does have executive expereince both in business and in government, its clear he will crash and burn if he’s our nominee, at this point the only viable candidate left that I see is Gingrich. Warts and all.

“Who’s advising this man? Can he really be surrounded by people that stupid?”

Turn it around:
Can those advisers be so stupid to be for Romney?

Moderators should never be a part of the story of a debate, Mitt. John King wanted to be part of the day’s story, likewise Ann Curry. That’s one of the problems with “journalists” in this country. Most of them are such stupid creatures, or “dumbarses” as Sarah would say.

My views on the differences between Obama and Newt Gingrich?

While they may both be blowhard egotistical narcissists, Gingrich's narcissism is actually grounded in reality and he doesn't hate America.

Huge difference and maybe that is exactly what we need for the American sheeple to compare and contrast.

And, no, I'm still not on the Newt bandwagon. But he is still lightyears better than ObaMao on his worst day.

After spending countless hours and mucho dinero, it would be hilarious if Mitt Romney ends up winning only two states: New Hampshire & Utah!

“We have to remember, Romney is defined as a RINO for a reason, and that reason has everything to do with the fact that he is a liberal.”

He’s not a RINO simply because he’s a liberal. For example, Susan Collins is a liberal Republican but I won’t call her a RINO. You know what to expect from someone like that. It’s unfortunate but sometimes that’s it takes to win a blue state.

Romney, on the other hand, pretends he’s a conservative (the ‘conservative’s conservative’ as Laura Ingraham put it) but he’s really a liberal. That’s much worse.

.it is not just against Romeny it's so far more than that.....

Very much so. I listen to Mark Levin on WMAL ... the contrast between Mark criticizing anybody who deserves it, and the ABC News broadcast on the half-hours is stark. ABC News is constantly waving the "inevitable Romney the Great" in our faces. It's disgusting. If the Republican Party were so ill-advised as to actually nominate that scoundrel, ABC would instantly turn on him like a rabid dog.
