Newt Gingrich: Romney Flip-Flopped On Tax Cuts

*gasp*

I hate defending to Romney, or rather the latest stable release of Romney, but didn't he say he wouldn't cut the *share* paid by the rich? If he said he would cut x% across the board then he can still make the argument that he has been consistent.

Why is Romney often referred to as 'Governor Romney' on the campaign trail? He has not held that position since Jan 2007.
And if he is trying so hard to run on his record as businessman instead of his political record, why doesn't he request everybody refer to him as 'Mr. Romney'?

Brontes: Bet he got a nasty-gram from the GOP party after that appearance.

Bet he uses the nasty-gram to wipe his fat backside.

Newt apparently has absolutely nothing left of his political career except the pundit circuit. Admitting the blindingly obvious helps keep his reputation as a maverick going.

Supposedly, that's what cutting these tax loopholes are supposed to do.

Either way, I would not be surprised to see R'money win the election all because of flip-flopping. Because, hey, Newt said it's "good politics." And who DOESN'T want to go to the beach??

This is great. All the GOP primary retards are getting cabin fever and anxious to throw the Mittster under the bus.

He's said he would cut loopholes and deductions to make up for the loss in revenue but the math has shown you can't make up for the loss in revenues from only closing loopholes and deductions - it's false bullsh*t. And even if it was true, what's the point of lowering the tax rate for the wealthy if their burden is the same?

The truth is that he'd lower the tax rate while not cutting loopholes or deductions enough, and the net effect would be another reduction in revenues that won't be offset by gains in GDP growth and won't result in lowering the deficit. Anyone with half a brain knows this.

Voting for Romney is voting for the same bankrupt policies of George W Bush. Anyone who doesn't see that is a moron.

It apparently also goes for anyone who is retired from:

Congress
the Presidency
Military (at the Colonel level or above I believe).

machoprogrammer: As much as I hate Romney, I like him infinitely times more than Newt. Newt is a piece of human garbage; as much so as Warren Sapp.

The beauty of hate is that there's always more where that came from.

If he's cutting the "share" that rich people are paying without cutting their actual taxes, he'd have to raise taxes on poorer people or businesses. So which is it? Either way, he's lying.

Mitt Romney said nothing and he said it very well.

Bullcookies?

And I thought it was bad on Meet the Press yesterday when Newt said Schwarznegger had no political credibility left and could not run for office again because of his marital infidelity.

MFL: You morons do realize that Newt's "dying" wife is alive and well.

And that whole narrative (like most of the garbage spoon fed to the masses by the left) is complete garbage.

It's not a good idea to throw stones when you live in a glass house.....even if you throw like a him.

You do realize that Newt wasn't "Future Newt" travelling to the past, right? Newt didn't know his wife was going to survive. Just because things turned out all right doesn't mean that in the context of the moment Newt's actions weren't utterly scumbaggish.

monoski: As Mittens once said; I just need 51% of the vote. What he left out is; then I can begin farking the average citizens out of every last penny.

[csb] Daniel Arap Moi, President of Kenya, once demanded half the profits from McDonald's once they opened up in Kenya. McD's told him to f*ck off.[/csb]

I wouldn't put it past Romney to just ask for half the profits (via taxes) on abortion clinics. He's smart enough to know that the best way to get around a thorny moral issue is through economics.

It's still better than when Sarah Palin gets addressed as "Governor". At least Romney completed a term.

Hey Newtie, no one cares what your irrelevant ass says.

Real America™ frowns on your dismissal of the "Best Effort" award, sir.
