President 2012: Ron Paul Attacks Newt Gingrich for Serial Hypocrisy – But Does it Matter?
Posted by Flap in Newt Gingrich, President 2012, Ron Paul
Probably the first of many attacks on Newt as he has become the front-runner in the GOP Presidential nomination race. But, will Ron Paul’s attack stick?
The video does not hit Newt over his recent support for amnesty, but does detail: 1) Newt’s partnership with Nancy Pelosi in support of climate change legislation; 2) Newt’s support of TARP; 3) Newt’s attack on Paul Ryan’s budget as “right-wing social engineering; 4) the fact that Newt took more than $1.5 million from Freddie Mac to lobby Congress; and 5) the fact that Newt’s think tank took $37 million from the health care companies that support individual mandates.
Paul Ryan is quoted in the ad saying, “With allies like that, who needs the left?” And Rush Limbaugh clips are prominently featured, including his claim that Newt’s attack on Ryan “supports the Obama administration.”
The video raises valid issues, but what are voter’s alternatives?
Mitt Romney, who has similar issues?
Certainly, NOT Ron Paul.
At this point, Newt Gingrich is looking like the Teflon Candidate.
