Mittens going after Newt and spending 3.1 MILLION on attack ads?

Wow, just Wow.

Look at who the major contributors for Mittens are on prior posts. Getting interesting to say the least. This being the one who backed Obama care and then tries to deny he did? Think Mass.

We need three more donations dates to match that waste of money on Newt. Any one who looks at his background would say WTF?

Wait, Mittens is big with GS et al on donations. Look at prior posts on contributions. Wait a second Newt took mega money to support the Freddie and Fannie mess. I will not even get into the cheating on wives, dumping sick wives with cancer situation along with affairs.

I will retire my meager brain with that information for the night.

Mittens and the Grinch slinging poo at each other would be the best thing that could happen right now.

[sailingaway]

Yeah, but they are pretty pathetic. They should give the money to Ron. His ads are better....

[Sarge]

Does this give a clue for Mittens?

I think that helps Ron since he could say those attack ads also apply to Romney as well.

[Sarge]

I agree.

[trey4sports]

this is not an ad buy for the attack ads. It's pro-Romney ads I believe.

[AlexG]

Romney's $3.1m wont even match Ron's $1m. Ron's ads were really good and were played several times on TV and the internet. Mitt can spend all he wants

[Sarge]

I guess time will tell,

"Restore Our Future, a political action committee formed by former Romney advisers, announced the campaign while unveiling a new television ad. The move comes the same day that Romney surrogates launched an attack against former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who has vaulted to the lead in Iowa, according to polls.''

You need to start thinking like Mittens, that RP is a non issue. It is going to bite him you know where!

What is hard to understand about this? "An attack against former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who has vaulted to the lead in Iowa, according to polls.''

you took that out of context. The article mentions that they also released a negative ad the same day.


Later in the day, according to news reports, the group posted an anti-Gingrich ad on its YouTube site, but later took it down. It's not clear whether that ad will run on Iowa television stations. No anti-Gingrich ad was mentioned in the group's news release announcing the ad buy.

Personally I'm more scared of Newt than Romney. Romney would simply be another Obama term. Electing Newt Gingrich would be like electing Hitler as president of the US. I don't like Romney at all and wouldn't vote for him, but Gingrich scares the absolute hell out of me.

Also, I just found this and it made me laugh quite a bit:

Leaked Romney attack ad:

[Sarge]

Trey,

Time will tell.

No matter what, Newt is going to be a looser for anyone that checks out his total background on his wives, girl friends, affairs, taking money votes, flip flops, Al Sharpton back up, other positions and on and on.

Not someone, I would want as a President.

[Carole]

Gingrich will have to do it the hard way; he hasn't enough money to run ads.

[Carole]

That is good. Dr. Paul can let Mitt pay for the ads denigrating Gingrich now. :D

[AlexG]

Leaked Romney attack ad:

Now compare that to "Serial Hypocrisy." If there were Oscars for candidate commercials there's no doubt Ron Paul would win

[69360]

That attack ad is brutal. When does it go up?

[Student Of Paulism]

Gingrich will have to do it the hard way; he hasn't enough money to run ads.

No, but this guy sure does: http://www.nouvelordremondial.cc/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/david-rockefeller.jpg

You'd be kidding yourself if you don't think he is the reason why newt went from nowhere, to atop of the polls in less than a months time.

[recess]

That attack ad is brutal. When does it go up?
Agreed- I like it!

How are these companies able to donate these amounts? Are they donating to PACs? Why are individuals limited to $2,500 if companies are not? What am I not understanding here?

There is absolutely zero chance of Newt becoming the next president. There is still a good chance he could win the GOP nomination, though.

[South Park Fan]

LOL at Mitt attacking Newt for supporting an individual mandate.

[69360]

How are these companies able to donate these amounts? Are they donating to PACs? Why are individuals limited to $2,500 if companies are not? What am I not understanding here?

I believe that is individual contributions by employer.

[Matthew Zak]

I'm pretty certain Gingrich is going to spiral at this point. We have to be careful about Santorum though, with 69 supporters in Iowa, the Media could declare him the front runner the day before and plenty of Iowans would go for it.

[RonRules]

It's actually a good thing to be in third at this point. The top two are dukeing it out with each other spending tons of money, while were slowly building a strong base. I also see desperate efforts by Bachman, Santorum and Perry to win Iowa.

Ideally, they'll all be at 19% and we'll be at 20%.

[Maximus]

I love a good old mud slinging fest between Romney and Gingrich.

Gingrich's people won't go to Romney, they'll come to us.

[HOLLYWOOD]

You're right Sarge... Willard Mitt Romney's Number One Campaign contributor/donors are from "THE BORG" aka GOLDMAN SACHS aka Government Sachs.

This is where the message needs to be sent to the 50+ age Voting Groups and explain how Romney represents Wall Street and your money will be worth less every year after year in their hidden inflation schemes.

What a contrast to see Romney's SUPERPAC unleash a $3.1 Million MAMMOTH Ad Buy in Iowa vs what it currently on the Super Revolution PAC Website. It is pretty stunning and quite revealing.

The three projects being proposed today: renting an advertisement display truck for 7 days in NH, having a party for RP Supporters in NH and running NEWT Attack Ads in several newspapers, while good ones, could easily be done here on the RP Forums or Daily Paul.

The Revolution SUPERPAC in the last four months has apparently been unable to find many if any wealthy Liberty minded individuals to donate six figures or likely even five figures to the PAC. Currently in both Iowa and New Hampshire the Revolution SUPERPAC is dark with no TV or Radio Advertisements that I have been able to find.

Frankly,I would rather donate to the Campaign and to the various RP Grassroots projects that seem to appear on the RP Forums almost daily now. Of course if you have maxed out with the Campaign's $2,500 limit then the Revolution SUPERPACS projects may interest you.
