The Calculations That Led Romney to the Warpath ...."If Mr. Romney does win here on Tuesday, it will have been through a blistering and unrelenting series of attacks. His campaign has pressed everything at its disposal into service to eviscerate Mr. Gingrich, painting him as an erratic, unreliable Washington insider in mailings and television advertisements, at two critical debates here (where his team made sure Mr. Romney had ample and vocal supporters in the audiences) and even by sending supporters to mock him at his own events.".......

Newt Gingrich’s final push in Florida centered on pinning ‘dishonest’ label to Mitt Romney

How hard is it to do that as Mitt has been so dishonest! Will the Sunday “Talk Shows” hit Mitt with this?????

NBC asks Romney to remove news material from [HIT PIECE] ad

Blast from the past: Romney uses vintage video to hit Gingrich (charges Newt was cleared of)

Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom said the campaign isn’t likely to stop running the ad.”

Sorry to say this, but Gingrich has put himself in a poor position to claim he’s being victimized by charges he’s been cleared of (which is the truth, as I’ve posted articles to folks off-board repeatedly showing he was cleared).

If he’s going to charge Romney with all that ‘raiding’ and ‘putting people out of work’ stuff, which knowingly distorts the reality of what Bain was all about, he’s really in no position to bitch when someone distorts the facts of his past.

A pox on both their houses.

“I poop on Backstabber Romney for RomneyCARE and his endless lies.”

Romney's bad behavior Exposed by Seamus

"Romney Loses Nomination Over Dog Abuse? - Romney was traveling that summer with his wife, five sons, and Seamus to his parent's cottage on Lake Huron. But hours into the ride, Seamus apparently suffered diarrhea, which ran down the back window of the car. .David Kravitz wrote on BlueMassGroup, a liberal blog. "It also strikes me as classic Romney: it solves a problem efficiently, in a business-like manner, and with no regard whatsoever for the suffering that the solution may cause."

"But the details of the event are more than unseemly - they may, in fact, be illegal. Massachusetts's animal cruelty laws specifically prohibit anyone from carrying an animal "in or upon a vehicle, or otherwise, in an unnecessarily cruel or inhuman manner or in a way and manner which might endanger the animal carried thereon. "An officer for the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals responded to a description of the situation saying "it's definitely something I'd want to check out." The officer, Nadia Branca, declined to give a definitive opinion on whether Romney broke the law but did note that it's against state law to have a dog in an open bed of a pick-up truck, and "if the dog was being carried in a way that endangers it, that would be illegal."

"Dog on Roof? What Was It Like for Romney's Pooch? - Scientists Say Dog Likely Experienced Wind-Whipped, Uncomfortable Trip - "Before beginning the drive, Mitt Romney put Seamus, the family's hulking Irish setter, in a dog carrier and attached it to the station wagon's roof rack. e'd built a windshield for the carrier, to make the ride more comfortable for the dog,".. Jordan Kaplan, the owner of Petaholics, a dog walking service in New York City,
and a lifelong dog owner and dog lover, said Romney's actions were uncalled for"

"Romney's dog - This is a distinction Mitt Romney probably could do without, but he is surely the first presidential candidate to be attacked for putting a dog with diarrhea in a carrier and tying it to the top of a station wagon. Romney's defense: Seamus liked it. [like the citizens under Romney's RomneyCARE, etc.?] "

"As the oldest son, Tagg Romney commandeered the way-back of the wagon, keeping his eyes fixed out the rear window, where he glimpsed the first sign of trouble. ''Dad!'' he yelled. ''Gross!'' A brown liquid was dripping down the back window, payback from an Irish setter who'd been riding on the roof in the wind for hours. As the rest of the boys joined in the howls of disgust, Romney coolly pulled off the highway and into a service station. There, he borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car, then hopped back onto the highway."

"Story about dog on car roof comes back to bite Romney - 200 comments from readers complaining of animal cruelty"

The writers of the OP completely miss an important point. The issue is not just that the ad is negative, the issue is that it is negative, BASED ON A LIE.

Even truthful negative ads carry risk for a candidate; but here we have a candidate who is demonstrating mendacity, with vigor.

Anyway, what the pundits are deliberately not saying, Newt will bring up, again.

Romney’s LIES now rival that of hussein’s.
