I will not vote for Romney even if it means Obama gets the nomination. He will do anything to win this election - destroying a man's character with a blatant lie.
Disgusting.

The "Virtue" of Mitt Romney
Those who are supporting Romney because Newt went negative and unfairly attacked Bain ought to be more than a little disturbed that Romney is deliberately distorting Newt's Congressional ethics record.
Add (see my post yesterday) that someone on Romney's team selectively pulled obscure quotations, deliberately out of context, and handing them to Eliot Abrams (one assumes he has not himself been pouring over age old special orders for quotations one could miscast), to smear Newt as being insufficiently conservative and Reagan-supporting, when Newt's determined support for Reagan was one of the things we ought to all be grateful for, makes this a pattern. It ought to give the "Romney's more ethical" choir pause.
Newt had many faults for which he can be criticized, but these myriad charges were slung at the wall by desperate Democrats in Congress, who were furious at their defeat, and trying to balance out the sins of Bill Clinton. The charges DID NOT HOLD UP; indeed, it was a political mugging, and on review the IRS said there were no violations at all. Romney knows that.
That Romney nonetheless would use these despicable, known-to-be-false arguments (and there are no shortages of others he could legitimately use) unfortunately indicate that he's just one more ambitious guy who'll say whatever he needs to say, and spend what he needs to spend, to get what he wants.
