it seems to be an appealing message, and i don t think she should have dropped out of the campaign. she was all the rage for a short period of time, and then she got a look in iowa, and she could have run off with it, but when she got the look, she wasn t ready. she couldn t answer the questions the journalists had. let s talk on a personal level and then we ll get to more grand. newt gingrich endorsed president romney just yesterday. there is a certain note you get from those who have run against romney. let s listen. i ve asked sometimes is mitt romney conservative enough? and my answer is simple. compared to barack obama? you know, this is not a choice between mitt romney and ronald reagan. wow. these ads could explain gingrich s restraint. the romney pack called restore our future jammed the airways in iowa in late december with this. let s watch. do you know what makes barack obama happy?
gailen, and cornell belcher, a pollster for the obama 2012 campaign and was in 200 as well. does newt just have a problem with the super pacs that have more money than his super pacs do? look, nobody can be more scrapingly mean when he s after somebody than newt gingrich. the fact is he tends to do it himself which hasn t helped him over the years. but he has a super pac. not only that, the superer pack, the spokesman for his super pac, is his longtime spokesman, rick tyl tyler. everything he said about the romney pack is true for him. the truth is those of us who actually agreed with the supreme court decision, because the first amendment and all that stuff, the fact is, that everybody s got a chance to bill their own super pac. my guess is it was somebody from a super pac that called governor perry today. and that was the enlightenment that he got. they said we ll raise you $5 million. everybody can do this.
other guy s back or front. newt said attack ads helped knock him to a fourth place finish last night in iowa. romney squeaking to victory over senator santorum. santorum picking up congresswoman michele bachmann suspending her campaign today. but back to the ads and also keeping them honest, how clean are speaker gingrich s hands or rick perry s or anyone else s. in his concession speech last night from beginning to end, gingrich praised iowans who ignored attack ads. they really wanted to get to the truth rather than the latest 30-second distortion. i would not have survived in this campaign against millions and millions of dollars of negative advertising. if it weren t for the thousands of volunteers who showed up and who helped us in every town and in every precinct, and every one of us that are members, what made part of these negative ads so shameful, every one of us should remember, this process survives because young men and women risk their lives to allow us to do
go to restoreourfuture.com, all you ll see is a generic mission statement, a link to donate and a link to the anti-gingrich ads. none of this is against the law. gingrich sees it as dishonest. are you calling mitt romney a liar? yes. why are you saying he s a liar? because in is a man whose staff created the pac. his millionaire friends fund the pac. he pretends he has nothing do with the pack. it s baloney. he s not telling the american people the truth. it s like his pretense that he s a conservative. that s newt gingrich, who said for months, and again last night, he wasn t going to go negative, with some exceptions. we are not going to go out and run nasty ads. we re not going to go out and run 30-second [ applause ] but i do reserve the right to tell the truth.
