Fox ads on stem cells.  That\u2019s just who the guy is, so you remember.  He was also in the House \u201994, \u201995, with Newt.  So Romney gets Talent from Missouri to record this ad.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"585\" height=\"327\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CFBPW6-AKR0?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>TALENT:  I served in the House with Newt Gingrich.  He would make outrageous comments that would blindside us and undermine our conservative agenda. Chaotic decisions, erratic behavior, it\u2019s a problem when your own leader is the biggest political problem that you\u2019re dealing with, which is why we removed him as the Speaker.  This election needs to be about Barack Obama, and if the Speaker were the nominee, the election would be about him and his unreliable leadership in the past.  He\u2019s not a reliable leader.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Oh, man, folks, this is scorched earth.  Remember what the super PAC ads in Iowa did to Newt.  Remember how they just sent him over the edge.  This is gonna have the same effect.  So it\u2019s out there.  It\u2019s getting hot.  It\u2019s really heating up. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: This is Mitt Romney in Spartanburg, South Carolina, this afternoon at a campaign event. He was speaking about Newt Gingrich.<\/p>\n<p>ROMNEY: The Speaker the other day at the debate was talking about how he created millions of jobs when he was working with the Reagan administration. Well, he\u2019d be in Congress two years when Ronald Reagan came to office. That would be like saying 435 congressmen were all responsible for those jobs. Government doesn\u2019t create jobs. It\u2019s the private sector that creates jobs.<\/p>\n<p>AUDIENCE: (applause)<\/p>\n<p>ROMNEY: Congressmen taking responsibility, or taking credit for helping create jobs is like Al Gore taking credit for the Internet.<\/p>\n<p>AUDIENCE: (laughter)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Ooh! Mitt getting tough out there with the fisticuffs, comparing Newt Gingrich to Algore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Now, I mentioned earlier that Romney is back on the scorched earth attack on Gingrich.
