Gingrich Booed When Bringing Up Romney Bain Criticism at Huckabee Event in SC

2008 Republican primary candidate and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee hosted an event in South Carolina Saturday with this year’s GOP candidates and 800 undecided Republican voters. While Huckabee did not shell out any endorsements, the crowd made it clear that they do not support one line of thinking from candidate Newt Gingrich.
“They were really angry,” one Republican at the event told Jonathan Karl of ABC News. The attendee says that Gingrich was loudly booed when he criticized rival candidate Mitt Romney’s record at Bain Capital. Karl writes:
“The booing came when Gingrich mentioned Romney’s name. I am told Gingrich was gently reprimanded by Huckabee who reminded him that the ground rules for the forum stipulated that the candidate were not allowed to attack each other.”
POLITICO also notes that Gingrich paid the price of boos when not complying with the forum’s rules:
“Mitt Romney, Jon Huntsman, Rick Perry and Rick Santorum all complied. The only one who didn’t: Newt Gingrich, who paid the price in boos as soon as he mentioned Romney’s name in an answer defending his critique of Bain Capital.
Citing a steel mill in Georgetown, S.C. that was closed under Bain’s leadership, Gingrich said, ‘Capital wasn’t put at risk — capital was drained out of the economy. Governor Romney can go ahead and say we made 100,000 jobs —’ before being interrupted by the crowd’s loud disapproval.
Gingrich tried to jump in, saying he was ‘trying to answer this question. I believe that it’s fair to ask that the record be clear.’”
Gingrich pressed on, telling the audience he thought ‘a question about a particular company is not the same as attacking capitalism.’”
Huckabee was joined Saturday with South Carolina freshman Rep. Tim Scott, who like Huckabee is yet to give an endorsement.
“My goal is really not to figure out Romney versus the anti-Romney, which is what’s shaping up,” Scott told CNN, before laying four specific qualities – character, competency, values and faith – that will ultimately shape his decision. “Those four qualities, I’m going to sit down and create a little matrix for myself and come to a decision in the next few days.”
POLITICO reports that Huckabee declared he “would be proud to stand up on the stage and gleefully support” any of the five candidates who came.
Saturday’s event featured five of the candidates running in the January 21 South Carolina primary. Only Rep. Ron Paul did not participate, as he is spending the weekend at his home in Texas.
Given the forum rules against badmouthing each other, POLITICO reports that the event “was a tame affair defined largely by stump speeches and talking points about limited government, states’ rights and creating jobs.”
The forum will be aired on Fox News Channel Saturday night.

Posted on January 14, 2012 at 11:43pmI have not made a commitment to any of the candidates, yet. I am stating this so you are aware I am not biased.
I have read many of your comments and find it amusing how you have attacked Newt for his naming Romney in his response tonight during the Huckebee forum. I cringed when he did as I had heard the rules at the beginning.
I have two things I would like to address. You all know that Obama is going to go after Romney about Blain Capital so wouldn’t it be good to get everything out in the open before we select a candidate to run against Obama? Also, were you all not around when Romney’s PAC attacked Gingrich in Iowa? They reported many untruths in the ads and Gingrich did not have the funds at the time to respond effectively. Newt’s goal was to run a positive campaign . Romney lost my respect at that time. Ron Paul did the same thing and he came across poorly, also.
I guess I am suggesting be careful who you attack and be a little more open minded and look at the big picture. We need to be positive, concentrate on changing the population in Congress by electing representatives who WILL change Washington and carefully vet the presidential candidates with an open mind, doing your own research and not listening to your friends and neighbors, the biased media and the other party.
Get informed… study history….and Pray,

Posted on January 15, 2012 at 12:48am” Also, were you all not around when Romney’s PAC attacked Gingrich in Iowa? They reported many untruths in the ads and Gingrich did not have the funds at the time to respond effectively.”
If you actually read the Washington Post analysis on the ad in question (the “four Pinocchios” article he loves to cite), you find that they actually have to stretch it to call them untrue.
For example:
On the Freddie Mac charge, they claim it is untrue because it says Freddie Mac caused the economic collapse, which they disagree with… not because of anything they said about Newt.
On the bill he cosponsored with Pelosi, they split hairs and say that its untrue because the bill was about global warming, not the support of China’s one child policy… but that doesn‘t change the fact that the bill included support for China’s one child policy.
On being the only Speaker to be reprimanded, the article basically says “yeah he was the only Speaker to get reprimanded, but there was another one who resigned before he could be, so it isn’t true!” No… he was still the only Speaker to be reprimanded.
3 out of 4 Pinocchios end up being stretched much more than the facts in the ad.

I know for some that is difficult to believe because you seem to feel if someone is rich, he is a crook. What bias. Newt couldn’t follow the rules in Virginia so why would we expect him to follow a simple rule. Whatever he accuses Mitt of, you can be sure he is guilty of. What a hypocrite & so glad that the evangelicals are backing Santorum but, personally, no pastor would influence my vote as I do my own research & vote for the person I believe would make a better president.

Posted on January 15, 2012 at 7:47amFYI
Romney doesn’t own 20 houses nor does he own 15.
He has his Home on the Lake in New Hampshire and is remodeling a 3k sq. ft. rambler on the coast in California. Some have called even that, a Mansion. He sold his Boston home several years ago and owns a Townhouse there now. He also sold his Deer Valley, Utah ski lodge a few years ago.
So by my count, it’s 2 houses and a Townhome. Oh No!!!
And Newties Pac’s last ad, had a lady complaining about Romneys 15 houses?
Did he correct that? Of course not.
He‘s been whining about Romney’s ads and still cannot, with specificity, show us what was untrue about them.
Why would we Not want a Man or Women of “High Achievement” like Mitt Romney?
Who wants another Common Man leading us?
We need a Man of Excellance and Consistancy and not just another Lifetime Bureaucrat. We’ve seen enough of them.
We don’t need Men leading us who will change his wife every time a younger aide catches his fancy. We don’t need a Man leading us who spent his life inside Washington and sold his influence thereafter.
Newt is unhinged, just as everybody predicted he would be.
His attack on Success and Free Enterprise automatically disqualifies him from ever representing the Republican Party again. We threw you out before Newt……Now Stay Out!
Move on Newt, work on getting in shape and see if you can avoid becoming too bored with wife #3.

Posted on January 15, 2012 at 9:21amAcording to PolitiFact:
Our ruling
Winning Our Future released a video in which an interviewee said Mitt Romney owns 15 homes. We find that while the Romney family does own three houses collectively valued at nearly $20 million, but based on the public records we‘ve reviewed they don’t own anything close to 15 homes. We rate the statement False.
EDITOR’S NOTE: The day after this story was posted, a reader pointed us to a Jan. 14, 2012, article in the Toronto Star that noted that the Romney family owns “a white-sided cottage on a sandy ridge overlooking Lake Huron” in Grand Bend, Ontario – a property purchased in 1950 by Mitt Romney’s father George that did not come up in our search of United States properties. This does not increase the number of Romney-owned homes close enough to 15 for us to change our rating.

It was decided it would be best if no prominent names were associated with the fledgling effort so Newt has veered away from even mentioning much about the Tea Party.
The point is that Newt was and is in complete agreement with the Tea Party. Please share this with all who will listen, especially your friends in SC.

I feel terrible for South Carolinians who are following their Governor Nikki Hayley by going for Mitt Romney instead of a conservative like Newt. Mitt is a big mistake. Nobody but Newt has the intellectual depth, the guts, the cajones to sink Obama’s reelection be it during the one-on-one debates or in the arena of great ideas on how to correct the course of our nation. Voting for Mitt Romney as the GOP candidate would be a repeat of the Juan McCain mistake we Republicans did in 2008. Mitt does not have the spine to withstand what the Obama Chicago Thug machine has in store for him. Let us get real. Let us vote of Newt Gingrich as our GOP candidate for POTUS.

Only recently (5 years ago) did he have a change of heart (1 change of heart, not flip flopping back and forth) on the matter of abotion laws (RoevWade) not his personal stance, but the laws –and that those laws diminished the sanctity of life and he thought they should undo RvW. 1 change of heart in 30 years is not flip flopping.
As for the other— RomneyCare was wanted by the people of Massachusetts, unlike the people of the United States who did not want ObamaCare. Furthermore, it‘s Mitt’s belief that states should have the right to decide, not have it be a federal mandate. A big difference in RomneyCare and ObamaCare.

“The question is, where is Washington?” Mr. Romney said, speaking to a gaggle of reporters across from a General Motors transmission plant near Ypsilanti, where 200 layoffs were announced this week. “Where does it stop? Is there a point at which someone says ‘enough’? Or are we going to allow the entire domestic automotive manufacturing industry to disappear?”

Asked about Obama’s role in the managed bankruptcy of General Motors Corp. and Chrysler Corp., Romney said he would not have “sent $10 billion-plus to the industry prior to working out a managed bankruptcy.

In 1996, Mitt Romney ran ads against Steve Forbes’ flat tax plan, saying he “will not support a specific proposal unless it taxes investment income.” Romney’s ads asserted that the Forbes plan to eliminate taxes on dividends, interest and investment profit and institute a 17% tax on wages that would result in huge tax cuts for the “Kennedys, Rockefellers, and Forbes.” The ad said, “It’s a tax cut for fat cats.”
Against:
‘I believe the tax on capital gains should be zero.’
Stem cell
For
“I am in favor of stem cell research. I will work and fight for stem cell research,” [Romney] said, adding, “I’d be happy to talk to [President Bush] about this, though I don’t know if I could budge him an inch.”
Against
‘In the end, I became persuaded that the stem-cell debate was grounded in a false premise.’
Amnesty
For
‘Those… paying taxes and not taking government benefits should begin a process toward application for citizenship.’
Against
‘Amnesty only led to more people coming into the country.’
Mitt flip flops, can’t trust him.

Again, taken out of context. He is not saying that he is against campaign spending limits.
“Against
‘When government is… bailing out banks… we have every good…”
Not sure what the rest of that was supposed to be, but Romney has consistently said that TARP was necessary but poorly managed.
“Stem Cell…. Against
‘In the end, I became persuaded that the stem-cell debate was grounded in a false premise.’ ”
AGAIN taken out of context. The “stem-cell debate” he refers to is the one referring to farming embryos for the purpose of stem-cell research.
“Amnesty

‘Those… paying taxes and not taking government benefits should begin a process toward application for citizenship.’ ”
Is it possible to call Mitt a flip-flopper without taking EVERYTHING out of context? Here, is saying that illegal immigrants should have to apply for citizenship the legal way, like any other immigrant, and get in the back of the line. To paraphrase, he says “get in the back of the line, go home, and come back when it is your turn.”

The only one who can’t beat Obama in a debate is probably Rick Perry. All the rest have conservative logic on their side, and Obama’s resume of accomplishments while in office will do the rest. Do we not remember how laughable Obama‘s performance is when the teleprompter can’t be found? (Have you seen all 57 states lately?) Why has anyone of us bought the real baloney being peddled around here that somehow Obama is intellectually superior? My guess is he probably scores above average (110-120), but isn’t that a minimum requirement?

* Guarantee our intelligence community’s efforts are directed toward legitimate threats and not spying on innocent Americans through unconstitutional power grabs like the Patriot Act.

Perhaps you think incorrectly that‘s he’s racist, but that thinking is not only incorrect, it is precisely what the Obamaites want you to believe, do you really want to believe anything Obama wants you to believe?
In 2008 we voted to start getting our house in order, so what you all think were done then? The pull your I expect perfection heads from out behind yourselves and elect the one man who most resembles who the TP is, and that man is Ron Paul ! Face it, if we don’t get back on track, the TP is nothing but TP for a RINOs backside.

Ron Paul wants a Declaration of War from the senate, worthless paperwork. The radical Islamist declared war on us on 9/11, that was our declaration. Ron Paul says, we are to blame, we should start talking to our enemy. What would our founders say?
The time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their houses and farms are to be pillaged and destroyed, and themselves consigned to a state of wretchedness from which no human efforts will deliver them. The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die.

Fatjack – thank you for your link. I tried to link it and it didn’t work.
Ron Paul is dangerous. I want a Republican to win, just not Paul.

Posted on January 14, 2012 at 6:22pmI sure lost respect for him. Maybe all of the criticisms about him being an loose cannon were correct. Sad as conservatives need all capable crew members rowing in unison to defeat the Marxists in the White House !

Posted on January 14, 2012 at 6:40pmWake up. Newt’s the strongest tool conservatives have to knock Mitt down in the polls. It doesn‘t matter that he won’t win … what matters is that he has the guts to go after Mitt’s PAC, and pave the way for our conservative candidates. Go Newt Go … don’t let the RINOs select our candidate!

Report Post »That’s Bain did.
Went in and bought DYING companies. Cut off the fat, trimmed the companies down and make them productive, profitable companies.
Otherwise, ALL of those people would have lost their jobs, not just the ones that were trimmed to save the company.
