GingrichPAC goes after Romneycare

A super PAC supporting former House speaker Newt Gingrich has made a $6 million ad buy in Florida, underscoring the new dynamics of the presidential race. Up until this week, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and his supporters were alone in the Florida ad game. Restore Our Future, a pro-Romney super PAC, just bought $4.5 million of time in the Sunshine State.

But the Gingrich-backing super PAC Winning Our Future just got a $5 million cash infusion from Las Vegas casino mogul Sheldon Adelson. The once-underfunded candidate is now able to compete with Romney not just in debates but on the airwaves.
We will run something new, something old, something big and something bold,” Winning Our Future spokesman Rick Tyler told The Fix.

A new ad from the group attacks Romney as an ally of Barack Obama through clever use of old clips — including one in which the Republican candidate says “my views are progressive.”

How awful that in Massachusetts, the gays can marry AND get healthcare. Truly a Horrible State.

RomneyCare had provisions for gay couples?  if so, why hasn't Newt pointed that out in a campaign ad?!

Even worse, those Socialist bastards in Massachusetts get 80c back on every dollar they spend on taxes. By paying more into the system then they get back they are perpetuating the dependence of all the red states which mostly net more in federal spending they they pay in taxes.  Those A-holes in MA are just trying to keep the rest of the country dependent, just like that evil Saul Alinsky wanted.

if MA wants to end federal dependency, I'll stand with them.

Nah I think we should just abolish federal government like Paul wants. Oh and we are building a fence here in Washington so Californians and other's can't come into our beautiful state after that.

no, I'm not for getting rid of it to the extent that Ron Paul wants (I like the idea of an EPA and FDA)...but I don't see why I have to pay for non economically viable roads in VT or MT.

It had the normal provisions that you'd expect for married couples and gay couples had already been able to marry for a couple of years when Romneycare came around.

well, crap, Newt could end Romney's political life in one simple 30 second ad....heck, he could even save money by making it an internet based ad and just let the MSM make hay over it.

I don't think any words actually pertaining to gay people appear in the Romneycare bill/bills at all, though. The fact that Massachusetts has both gay marriage and universal health care is well known. I don't think drawing a line between the two that certainly wasn't on anybody's mind at the time would lead to much more than just further erosion of the trust in Romney that's already eroding as it is.

"Currently, in Massachusetts, Mitt Romney's RomneyCare is subsidizing homosexual marriage with taxpayer funded healthcare...on election day, let's send Mitt Romney back to Massachusetts."

game over.

I see your point. Even though it's all stuff that people know about and have been attacking him for already, putting it that way is extremely damaging in the eyes of a Republican primary electorate. Extremely.
