Scathing New Ron Paul Ad Blasts Newt Gingrich for ‘Serial Hypocrisy’

In what the Wall Street Journal called one of the “most scathing” political ads of the year, Texas congressman and GOP presidential contender Ron Paul released a hard-hitting new web video attacking rival Newt Gingrich. The ad, entitled “Newt Gingrich: Serial Hypocrisy,” features multiple clips of the former House Speaker strung together in an attempt to make the Contract with America author appear like a dangerous flip-flopper.
One instance features the now infamous ad in which Gingrich appeared with Rep. Nancy Pelosi to address climate change, while another clip highlighted the occasion when Gingrich called Rep. Pau Ryan’s budget plan “right-wing social engineering.” In an attempt to cast additional doubt on the candidate’s value system, the ad notes that Gingrich was paid at least $1.5 million by Freddie Mac.
The video also features clips of conservative icons like Rush Limbaugh blasting various Gingrich positions.
WSJ adds:
The video will not run on television. But the Paul campaign is promising to send it “to a far-reaching email list of conservative voters nationally, including in key early voting states.”
Jesse Benton, the Paul campaign’s national chairman, said in a statement that the video is meant “to debunk the myth that the Newt we are seeing on the 2012 campaign trail is the conservative he has been touted to be all along.”
Mr. Gingrich’s sudden rise in the polls this month presents a clear threat to other candidates, like Mr. Paul, who are seeking to position themselves as the main alternative to Mr. Romney.

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 9:14pmDid anyone hear Mr. Beck try to interview. Rick Santorum on his radio show today? He couldn’t think of a question to ask him. After a lot of umms and ahhs he had to be saved by his co-hosts at least three times.
So then Mr. Santorum was asked sarcastically that he must have supported individual health care mandates and, not realizing the question was a joke, told how in fact he was the first to speak in favor of it on the Senate floor.
Mr. Beck makes his living twisting politicians words so that they appear to take positions that they do not. A similar ad could be made showing Congressman Paul making statements in support of both sides of an issue.
This ad shows nobody fights dirtier than a Republican politician.

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 9:46pmAre you saying Beck is a Republican or Santorum? Because I don’t believe Beck is. My understanding, from listening to Beck is that Santorum is his second choice behind Bachman so I don‘t really understand what you’re trying to say. Did you remember to take your meds this morning?

We need someone that we can trust.. Don’t worry about Israel…just pray for her…that is what God says to do…because in Zech 12,…God gathers “all” nations to go against Israel..(and we have the muslim in office right now who has taken down Israel’s and our strongholds in the middle east) .God Himself does this..it is for a divine purpose..to bring judgment against these nations…Jesus will save Israel and in every house of Israel…their eyes will be opened..realizing that they have pierced their own God ,and a fountain of cleansing will be opened.. then only one third of them will remain in their newly found faith and they will join with the ones going into the millenial kingdom. God said it…it will happen… it is all in His hands..

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 11:03pmI do not think beck intentionally twits politics. I have more faith in Glenn’s words than anyone else out there. But I disagree with Glenn’s candidate picks.
I am confused though, about how Glenn comes to his choices for his picks. Bachman I can see him picking, but this hatred he has towards Ron Paul confuses me. Before the candidates were even decided, I listened to Glenn teach, and what he taught made perfect sense to me, which is why I decided to support Ron Paul. Ron Paul stands for everything Glenn has taught. And along with Glenn’s teachings, was principle, honesty, and standing up for them.
I believe Glenn is against Ron Paul because of foreign aid to Israel…But Glenn stands strong on individualism, and non collectivism (which i totally agree), but What Glenn is saying by denying what is right, because of that one thing, is that we as individuals must judge on independent person, but when God comes back he will judge collectively and condemn everyone in America because Ron cut off foreign aid…that doesn’t add up. God will judge us all based on foreign aid?? What would make more sense is that when Israel is in trouble the people will stand and say “we need to protect them”
Which is what Paul said “the people will have a say in when we should go to war”

American Helathways, a place where my Mom works, had partnered up with him as he was promising them to get the government mandates when the healthcare moved to Obamacare. Than God for the Tea Party, as that feel apart. SO did my Mom’s company, and clearly, so has Newt, as he is here to big home the grand prize of profits from power in politics, President. I GUARANTEE you, he gets elected, Obama wins. PERIOD. My Mom, who voted for Obama, don’t like him now, as do hundreds of other Dems here in Pa, they will vote for Mitt, but they will NOT vote for Newt, They hate him. These are Clintonians, so they have hate Newt because of their liking for Clinton. However, my Mom did say even if Hillary was placed on the ticket, she had to think about it, but if Mitt was her option, she would vote for Mitt. I wish our party would just get in line and prepare to take down Obama. Newt will force us to have to work our butts off and most likely still lose. Mitt will ensure we get a HUGE vote that will change over, I am talking Democratic, and ensure we win. We can win the seat in Congress and prepare for the next election. Maybe we can bring in Paul at that time, the country will be weened of the nipple. But right now, she is to connected to government to separate the people from her. If our party screws this one up and gives me another McCain, by giving me Newt,I am done with the party. It is starting to remind me of the left nut j

He doesn’t contradict himself and he is careful with his words. Newt is a liar and will say whatever is politically expedient. He has not been consistent and 86 ethics violations in congress, a place where they don‘t like to investigate anyone’s wrong-doings. When congress indicts you on 86 ethics violations you know something is wrong.

He is such a good politician, that not only does he know what Republicans want to hear him say, but he also knows what they want to hear him say about the mistakes he’s made.

I would like to see Glenn interview Ron Paul. I would like him to ask about the foreign policy issues that he may have. Listening to Glenn about pulling our troops home one would think that he would like Ron Paul. Ron Paul wants to stop foreign aid to ALL countries not just Israel, which includes Israel’s enemies. Even Netanyahu has said that Israel would like to wean off of American aid so that they could be more free as country to do what Israel needs to do for Israel.
Ron Paul respects the liberty of the individual just as he respects the liberty of other nations. It is time for America to stop holding the purse strings and tell other nations how to do run their countries.

First of all, I do know of what I speak. Secondly, I could not care less what names I am called by “strangers”. Finally, I am not completely turned off to Dr. Paul, I am still deciding.
I will vote for whomever the GOP chooses (baa, baa), and will not waste my vote for a third party.

The fact that Ron Paul has not ruled out a third party run, is my biggest problem with him.
To preempt your sheeple comment, hardly, I am a leader of many employees and in my community. I have never been accused of being a follower by those who know me, in fact that is laughable.

Newt cannot beat Obama when all Obama must do is show he supported his healthcare, his transformation, and pretty much Obama’s whole agenda. Trading a professor who never worked for a historian who never worked is insanity.

Posted on December 1, 2011 at 5:22pmOkie, In a word Yes, I will vote for Newt if he is our nominee. Especially given the fact that the other choice is Obama. Life is full of choices and often there is no perfect option. I will not spend time parsing Newt’s words and defending some of his statements. I will not judge his heart or atonement for his personal transgressions.
In every major decision, we research, study and examine, but then it comes down to trust and gut feelings. What can I say, I do trust Newt and do believe that he has learned from his mistakes. Are you saying that people do not learn lessons and can’t evolve positions? Are you saying that Ron Paul has been perfect on everything FOREVER and has nothing to learn? Pretty scary and messianic if you ask me.
The problem I see in Dr. Paul is that his solutions are too extreme and often simple minded. Liberal programs and government spending have created our debt crisis, going way back to FDR, LBJ etc… Ron Pauls answer, “KILL THE FED, BACK TO GOLD and BARTER”. Simplistic and unrealistic. Why not just reign in spending and thus reclaim our freedoms?
Iran wants nuclear weapons? “SO THEY HAVE A RIGHT, WHY NOT?“ ”Once they nuke us, then we will act”. Naive and dangerous.

I’m not looking for a “perfect” option but picking between a donkey crap sandwich and an elephant crap sandwich isn’t an option, both are crap sandwiches.
You can‘t parse or defend Newt’s words because you do not know where he will stand tomorrow. I’m not condemning him, his actions though speak for his character.
How can you say you trust he has learned from his mistakes but not judge him to make such declaration?
Sure, people mess up on an issue or two along the way but when you change positions on 9,10,11,12 different things you are not one who can be trusted. Ron Paul I’m sure has made a few mistakes but for the MOST part he has voted along the lines of his values and principles. Nothing messianic about that just honor and integrity.
“Why not just reign in spending and thus reclaim our freedoms?”
See how well that “cutting” is coming along now….
Reigning in the Fed and creating sound money is wrong OokSpay?
If Iran wanted Nukes Russia would sell them one and if they were working together to destroy America why haven’t they done it? Most say they already bought one just like Saudi Arabia has bought some after the Soviet collapse. Naive and dangerous is to actually believe the progressives and that the USA can police the world.
Progressives sway your mind by getting you to leave value and principles to “win”. See where that has gotten us. Have a great night.

“Ron Paul is no different from the rest. He’s garnered over $400 million in pork for his district after speaking out against pork by the rest of the Reps.”
Earmarks are constitutional, and even if there were no earmarks there would be ZERO money saved.
Earmarking is another word for “allocating”. What earmarking does is ammend the appropriations bills which withdraw money from the Treasury. This money will be spent, with or without earmarks, if it passes.
Any money that is not earmarked will be spent by the Executive Branch however they see fit, and this is dangerous to our liberties. This is why Ron Paul says that ALL of the appropriated funds need to be earmarked by the peoples’ representatives.
Most of the time, though, Ron Paul sees appropriations bills as unnecessary, so in these cases he will at least earmark as much of the money as possible in case it passes, but will vote against them.
See here.
Earmarks Don’t Add Up
http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul513.html
“If a congressman does not submit funding requests for his district the money is simply spent elsewhere. To eliminate all earmarks would be to further consolidate power in the already dominant executive branch and not save a penny.”

“The problem I see in Dr. Paul is that his solutions are too extreme and often simple minded. Liberal programs and government spending have created our debt crisis, going way back to FDR, LBJ etc… Ron Pauls answer, “KILL THE FED, BACK TO GOLD and BARTER”. Simplistic and unrealistic. Why not just reign in spending and thus reclaim our freedoms?”
The reason we can’t simply reign in spending and thus reclaim our freedom is because fiat money makes us slaves.
The reasons behind Ron Paul’s desire to end the Fed and go back to a commodity money system (not barter; and to begin with, he would like to see competing free market money [if you want to still use paper, knock yourself out, but don't force others to do the same], because an immediate transition would be catastrophic), are the same reasons he was able to see the housing crash coming seven years before it happened.
The Fed – or, to be more precise, “artificial credit expansion” – is RESPONSIBLE for our economic crisis.

Freddie wasn’t paying anyone at that particular moment to recommend changes to its business model. They had plenty of people like me doing it for free. And they didn’t want to hear it. Newt was paid, like any other consultant, to say what his client wanted him to say – in this case, “to develop an argument,’’ as Bloomberg put it, “on behalf of the company’s public-private structure.’’ We’ll be paying for the mess for a long time.

House Reprimands, Penalizes Speaker
By John E. Yang – Washington Post Staff Writer – Wednesday, January 22 1997; Page A01
The House voted overwhelmingly yesterday to reprimand House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) and order him to pay an unprecedented $300,000 penalty, the first time in the House’s 208-year history it has disciplined a speaker for ethical wrongdoing.
The ethics case and its resolution leave Gingrich with little leeway for future personal controversies, House Republicans said. Exactly one month before yesterday’s vote, Gingrich admitted that he brought discredit to the House and broke its rules by failing to ensure that financing for two projects would not violate federal tax law and by giving the House ethics committee false information.

The man became a doctor because he wanted to HELP people, not for the money.
He got into Congress because he saw the trouble brewing when Nixon decoupled the dollar from gold.
He is not in this for prestige, or power. He’s in it because he has been trying to warn us (like Moses) and it is about to start raining. HARD.

Also, you say that he doesn’t know how to handle foreign affairs. That is a load of horse crap if there ever was one. Ron wants to get us out of our contorted and malinformed national relationships and make things simpler. To say that is bad is to prefer a system of back room deals and federal aid to foreign nations just so they’ll like us enough to not go to war with us. The current system depends on our ambassadors’ abilities to brown nose other countries or black mail them to meet our goals. That is both unnecessary and immoral.
As far as I can tell, our choices are clear. Big gov’t politician or Ron Paul. Mitt has Romney care, Cain was a federal reserve bank chairman, Perry wanted the gov’t to take away parental choice and rights, and Newt is a long time lobbyist whose political opinion is on the auction block daily. Of course the other “candidate” is Barry Soteoro the Muslim Brittishman who promotes racism, socialism, and keynesian economic policies (which most of the other candidates also support when it helps their base).

When you consider that Gingrich himself is a CFR member and is loading his national security advisors with fellow CFR it would be obvious to state that he would also, without a doubt, load his entire cabinet with CFR members.
Newt is a great debater and is very knowledgeable about the government and our history. From what I hear of the CFR they are not so much concerned with our constitution, are globalist, and tend to lean left or very left.
The most troubling thing is that after Obama I tend to not like being deceived. I would also like to know with certainty if CFR membership is a good thing, a bad thing, or a neutral thing. Anyone with insight on this topic I would appreciate being informed.

The man lives his values. If making an ad telling the truth of his opponents is somehow beneath you, enjoy your ivory tower bedroom. He didn’t take anything out of context, and he didn’t smear with lies or innuendo. This ad spoke straight forward truth.
Again, I am not a Paulbot, but he will have my vote in 2012, even if I have to write it in. I will not join the bandwagon of cowards who vote based on party line because they don’t have the conviction to vote their conscience.

I beg to differ.
Pointing out someone’s policy flip flops, is fair game.
Making personal insults like Herman Cain “I want to dress up as Ron Paul for Halloween” is low.
When Paul was asked about Herman’s extra marital affairs, he refused to go there.
Paul never attacks personally. He attacks POLICY.
He is the consummate gentleman.

Report Post »I think we all remember the story about Newt backing Dede Scozzafava over the Tea Party candidate. Well, that wasn’t the first time he backed a RINO/wanna-be-democRAT.
Newt did the same thing back in 1996 when Newt chose the democrat he bribed into becoming a Republica, Greg Laughlin, over Ron Paul. Newt got the RNC to back the ex-dem and went so far as to ask Bush 1 for his help to defeat Ron Paul. Newt hates our Constitution and knew Ron Paul was eager to restore America to her founding principles. But you know ol’ Newtie – Super Futurist with his eyes starting (blankly) ever toward HIS vision of what America should look like and its place within the New World Order.
But Newtie lost his bid to trample the Constitution and Ron Paul WON!
But Ron Paul holds no grudges. He knows how much of a game politics is. What Paul hates are the lies the politicians constantly tell, and Newt is one of the biggest liars DC ever spewed out.

As a specialist in obstetrics/gynecology, Dr. Paul has delivered more than 4,000 babies. He served on the House Banking committee, where he was a strong advocate for sound monetary policy and an outspoken critic of the Federal Reserve’s inflationary measures. He also was a key member of the Gold Commission, advocating a return to a gold standard for our currency. He was an unwavering advocate of pro-life and pro-family values. Dr. Paul consistently voted to lower or abolish federal taxes, spending, and regulation, and used his House seat to actively promote the return of government to its proper constitutional levels. In 1984, he voluntarily relinquished his House seat and returned to his medical practice. He serves on the House Financial Services Committee and the Foreign Affairs Committee. On the Financial Services Committee, Rep. Paul serves as the chairman of the Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology.

The American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2009 is U.S. House of Representatives bill 1146 of the first session of the 111th Congress, “to end membership of the United States in the United Nations”. The bill was first introduced on March 20, 1997, as H.R. 1146, to the first session of the 105th Congress (the American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 1997); it was a legislative effort to remove the U.S. from the UN. Paul reintroduced the bill on February 24, 2009 The bill was authored by Ron Paul to effect U.S. withdrawal from the United Nations. It would repeal various laws pertaining to the U.N., terminate authorization for funds to be spent on the U.N., terminate U.N. presence on U.S. property, and withdraw diplomatic immunity for U.N. employees. It would provide up to two years for the U.S. to withdraw. The Yale Law Journal cited the Act as proof that “the United States’s complaints against the United Nations have intensified.”

In a letter to Majority Leader Tom DeLay of April 16, 2003, and in a speech to Congress on April 29, Paul requested the repeatedly-bottlenecked issue be voted on, because “Americans deserve to know how their representatives stand on the critical issue of American sovereignty.” Though he did not foresee passage in the near future, Paul believed a vote would be good for “those who don’t want to get out of the UN but want to tone down” support… National Review cited the ASRA as an example of grassroots effort “to educate the American people about the efforts of foreign tyrants to disarm them”. Supporters approved of its intent to end financial ties to the UN, its peace-keeping missions, and its building in NYC. A report by Herbert W. Titus, Senior Legal Advisor of the Liberty Committee, concluded that “the American Sovereignty Restoration Act is the only viable solution to the continued abuses of the UN.” On its front page, the Victoria, Texas, Advocate, a newspaper in Paul’s district, expressed pride for the Act in the face of what it called several undeclared “UN wars”. Henry Lamb considers it “the only way to be sure that the U.S. will win the showdown at the UN Corral”, considering that without withdrawal, UN claims of diplomatic immunity and Congressional subpoena power threaten each other, as in the oil-for-food scandal.

To ask someone to vote for something other than what they believe in seems to come out of some sort of alternate universe.
You should be more upset with the 50% that don’t show up to vote rather than being upset at someone that will do anything to get out to vote for something they believe.
I don‘t really think anyone should be upset at the ones that don’t vote, since the reason there are so many that don‘t show up to vote in the first place is because they haven’t found anything worth believing in. The media lies about the wars, covers up what is going on with the Fed, and hides Ron Paul the best they can, and so the only one that is worth getting excited about isn’t seen.

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 9:14pmRon Paul’s foreign policy is not that of burying his head in the sand. It is one of non-aggression and overwhelming defensive capabilities. Unless another nation sends ground troops onto US territory we should not go to war with anyone. However, if it does happen we should destroy them through an all out military campaign of total war. Today we practice a civil type of war (not to be confused with civil war) in which we tie our military’s hands and set ROE so high that it puts our young men and women in unnecessary mortal danger and the reason we do so is because we have no reason to be at war in the first place.
I live in Oklahoma and I had friends with parent in the Murrah building. I was a Junior in HS and watched the towers fall and I spent 5 years of my adult life as an active duty US Marine. 9-11 was not a gov’t job committed by any foreign nation or ours. Yet we treated it as if it were an act of war while the Murrah building was treated as criminal offense. In fact, there is more physical and testimonial evidence that the Murrah building was a gov’t operation than evidence to support that theory for the 9-11 attacks.
And, if easter gov’ts really did supply these terrorists with funding and training… why did we not invade their nations and take them over unseating the standing gov’t and doing the same thing we did in Germany or Japan? You could say that happened with Iraq but we didn’t invade Iraq because of 9-11. We went into Afghanistan after 9-11.

Newt is the only one that can beat Obama. Hate to tell you guys but we the people that “love” Glenn are not the majority. And I believe in 99% of the things Glenn says but when it comes to Bachman – “talk to the hand” – I will not vote for her or Santorum. I would gladly vote for Perry but I do not believe he will move his numbers up. So I will vote for Newt and whoever wins the Republican nomination I will SUPPORT even if it is Bachman! Anybody but Obama. I can guarantee if Gov. Palin was running Glenn Beck would not support her because she doesn’t say the things Glenn wants to hear – and I would gladly vote for Gov. Palin. I hope Newt wins the presidency and chooses Palin as VP!!!

Posted on December 1, 2011 at 11:37amSince you seem to admire Glenn so much– they why vote Newt? Glenn says he’s the worst candidate.

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 8:52pmWell, I do NOT like Ron Paul, and the Paulies will call me a moron and un-american for saying that, but that was one hell of a killer ad. I just wish Obummer was the target.

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 9:50pmIt just shocks me how some one not could not like Ron Paul. Let me guess Guess foreign policy? Drugs? People still do drugs, it doesn’t work, mine as well tax it, make money off it. And if you want to go to war, than strap up your uniform & join the army. Don’t let some one else fight for you. Another point, a president doesn’t always gets what he wants & thats towards you Israel people.

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 10:05pmI won’t call you a moron.
The reason you don’t like Ron Paul, is because you don’t KNOW Ron Paul. You only know what the fearmongering media, who is owned by the people who profit off of wars is telling you, or NOT telling you.
Either that, or you don’t realize the seriousness of the situation we are facing.
Not knowing is just being ignorant. We were ALL ignorant at some point.
Not choosing to research with an open mind is “moronic.”

Posted on December 1, 2011 at 6:51amRead “The Revolution: A Manifesto” by Ron Paul. It’s a short easy read that puts his position on all the major issues into perspective. I also thought he was a loon, until I read this book. It just makes sense. I am disappointed the media is shutting him out of the conversation, despite his poll numbers.

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 8:47pm“old bird arms” vs “old marshmellow man”….How cute.
You guys see Romney get all whiny with Brett Baer last nite. Good grief it was classic!
All of this has become so infantile. “Silly Season” indeed.
