Mitt Romney landed here Sunday with a simple message: Newt Gingrich is a failure and a fraud. And a disgrace. And a hapless showman.
Standing under a brilliant orange Florida sunset, Romney delivered his longest sustained critique of the South Carolina primary winner to date ticking through a list as if he were reading off Gingrichs Wikipedia page, and undercutting each item as he got to it.
Speaker Gingrich has also been a leader, the former Massachusetts governor said. He was a leader for four years as speaker of the House. And at the end of four years, it was proven that he was a failed leader and he had to resign in disgrace. I dont know whether you knew that, he actually resigned after four years, in disgrace.

Hopefully Mitt the Shi** will chew his own face off now.
His magic underwear sure seems to be in a twist.
Wow, Mitt is really into the personal attacks. I hope this backfires bigtime.
Romney is an idiot. Epic fail as a leader.
To paraphrase another freeper’s post (NKP_Vet), here is a line Newt should use in the next debate.
With his liberal record, Mitt is a man who should have switched to the democratic party years ago, he has no business running for the nomination of the Republican Party.
“Wow, Mitt is really into the personal attacks. I hope this backfires bigtime.”
This thin skinned egotist really is the functional equivalent of Obama.
Willard go back to working for the private sector....!!
Popcorn time
Speaker Gingrich made history and helped create a conservative movement, Romney has a single failed term in office as a liberal.
Mitt needs to strap that dog onto the top of his station wagon and take a vacation. Geez!
I think he should take the high road. Say something like “Well, clearly SC had a different view than Gov Romney. I’m happy to let the voters here in FL decide. Let them decide what failed leadership is. Is it the 1st conservative majority in 40 years? Is it 11 million new jobs? Is it cutting spending to historic lows? Is it not only reducing the deficit but eliminating it entirely? Is it 4 straight balanced budgets? Is it major entitlement reform? If they think that’s failed leadership I’ll accept their verdict. I think they’ll agree with their friends in SC”
Not a conservative bone in his body.
Now he reveals his true self
I know this is petty, but would someone get mitt a tailor? Every oxford he wears looks at least a size and a half too big. And could he roll up his sleeves once in a while? He looks like such a dweeb. Hey mitt, two words-european cut!!
Every time Romney opens his liberal mouth I want to smack him. The man is becoming more vile by the hour.
I do not see how anyone can support him and call themselves conservative or even Republican.
I do not think he can. Romney actually beleives this election is owed to him and he is pissed that voters do not see that.
Romney is becoming unstable.
Well, Mitt, even given your putrid premise, he is still better than you. Even on those terms, he’s at least been a leader, not an unpricipaled poll following flim-flam used car salesman like you.
Keep up the attacks Poindexter, you’re showing your true colors.
How about this one, I just made it up...” There are 50 Governors who can claim they balanced their budgets but only one Speaker of the House, and he did it for four years in a row!” Feel free to paraphrase and submit it to Newt.
Mitt just can't believe he is not going to be able to buy it..... again.
Mitt, you’ll never be president ... take it to the bank.
BU-Bye Mittens!! (EPIC FAIL COMING AGAIN SOOOOON)
And in spite of all that voters are still flocking to Gingrich... Romney should consider what that says about himself...
Whoa!
Is this a reaction to the Harvard businessman realizing that money invested in his own sorry self might be a job acreation lost?
Money down the drain?
ROTFLMYRomneyOFF
meant Newt should take the high road in his reply
After this tirade, it isn’t like Newt has any reason not to eviscerate Romney in the debates. Santorum too.
The only gentlemen left might be Newt and Ron Paul.
Look at who is losing the facade of coolness.
This kind of personal attack smacks of desperation,
something voters don’t care for in a candidate
Bye-bye Mytht.
[I do not think he can. Romney actually beleives this election is owed to him and he is pissed that voters do not see that.]
I kept warning people. This all ties into the Mormon god-planet perfection thing I’ve seen over and over here in Las Vegas. They are brittle when they figure out their planet might not drop into their laps after being so good. The repressed feelings break into the open. It will get even nastier, downright vindictive.
Everyone called me a bigot, but this is what I’ve seen many times over. Welcome to bizarro world.
Romney is NUTS, if he thinks he can win this way!
Right, and Romney will deliver the attacks stammering. Romney is a wimp. He much prefers to have others do his dirty work.
Santorum is also going after Newt Gingrich. He’s pathetic and has quickly lost all his good will.
So, how is this guy going to unify the GOP if he’s the nominee to go up against Mr. Obama? He seems very desperate, maybe towards being a snob. Personally, I think he’s almost done.
Romney won’t know how to handle the first round of boo’s.
We all warned them, they call us bigots and crazy. Hopefully now they are seeing we were right.
Rush brags about living rent-free inside liberal heads - well its looking like Newt is putting the finishing touches on a Cayman Island sized estate inside Mitt’s head.
Don’t you have that backward, Willard?
ticking through a list as if he were reading off Gingrichs Wikipedia page, and undercutting each item as he got to it.
Interesting transposition here on the part of the author,
I’m sure he meant underlining but he used undercutting
which means to cut the base out from under something,
so here’s Mitt undercutting his own argument by how
he’s attacking and it’s apparent to the subconscious
of the author.
Bad move Mytht.
Speaking truth is not bigotry, it is simply truth.
Mitt, the enemy is Obama.
You know that, right?
He can’t attack a fellow Repub in those terms and hope to then win the support of Gingrich’s supporters when the dust settles.
Romney is a disaster.
This tack will not help you Mitt
and I’m not sure FOX can pull it out for ya

Newt looks much more like a leader now than does a man with a near unlimited warchest and the biggest news network in the world in his pocket who seems to always be running for president and losing
Not only can't FOX pull it out for Mitt, they're dragging themselves down with him.
The ultimate insult would be if when Palin’s deal with them ends soon, she leaves and goes to CNN for their election coverage and CNN ends up beating FOX in the ratings.
Watching Palin and Carville chat it up for a couplehours on election night would be gold.
“Talk show host???” REALLY???? FUMR!!!!
My God. Have we really sunk so low that our choices are Romney or Gingrich? This is just insane.
Newt should gently scold him in the debate and tell him his attacks make him look unpresidential.
