RUSH: “Newt Gingrich released the following statement calling for truth and accuracy from campaigns and so-called ‘Super-PACs\u2019 supporting candidates. ‘The American people have a right to know the facts about the records of the men and women who are asking them for their vote. Governor Romney<\/a> is running as someone who knows how to create jobs. In fact, he has claimed to have created 100,000 jobs while at Bain Capital. However, numerous analyses have said that figure is as inaccurate as President Obama\u2019s claim to have “saved or created” millions of jobs. Furthermore, Governor Romney\u2019s <\/a>experience as a portfolio manager did not help him create an environment in Massachusetts that was friendly to job creation.'”<\/p>\n

It goes on, but basically what Newt is saying here, what he announced today, “I am calling for the Winning Our Future Super-PAC supporting me to either edit its ‘King of Bain\u2019 advertisement and movie to remove its inaccuracies, or to pull it off the air and off the internet entirely,” and I am urging Romney to do the same. So Newt is seeking the high ground. Newt says, (imitating Newt) “Okay, I\u2019ll pull my lies out if Romney…” uh, sorry “I\u2019ll pull our errors out.” I don\u2019t even think he\u2019s making it contingent on what Romney does. He\u2019s just saying he will do that. Gingrich is repudiating the things that are wrong in his super PAC ad, and now they\u2019re trying to put pressure on Romney to do the same thing. “I am calling for the Winning Our Future Super-PAC supporting me to either edit its ‘King of Bain\u2019 advertisement and movie to remove its inaccuracies, or to pull it off the air and off the internet entirely.”<\/p>\n

(interruption) Nah, that\u2019s not the point. They could, but… Snerdley just asked me, “Could they come out now and say that Newt\u2019s coordinating with his super PAC?” \u2019cause you can\u2019t. In a super PAC, there is no allowed contact between the candidate and the PAC. There\u2019s nothing, I don\u2019t believe, that proscribes a candidate from going out publicly and asking his PAC to do something. He can\u2019t make \u2019em do it. This is all bogus! Everybody knows this. It\u2019s typical. What do you mean they don\u2019t have contact with the super PAC? What are we a bunch of idiots? The idea that they don\u2019t is absurd, but the law says they can\u2019t, so we\u2019ll run with the illusion that they don\u2019t.<\/line><\/p>\n

Now, you could say that if Newt had not gone nuclear already — if Newt hadn\u2019t gone nuclear this past week — this could have been a good move, and it might still yet be a good move. Because in the process of nominating and electing candidates, you do want to know who they are. You do want them vetted. That\u2019s been our problem with the media and Obama all along. Nobody vetted the guy, and nobody\u2019s gonna vet him now. That\u2019s why it\u2019s gonna be up to our candidate to do it and our powers that be don\u2019t want that to happen \u2019cause they think it\u2019s gonna frighten the independents. So, you can say Newt had a great idea but didn\u2019t execute it well because he was the recipient of 96% of all the negative ads in Iowa, and it just flipped his wig.<\/p>\n

‘Cause he thought so much of it was lies. So now he\u2019s taken the high road: “I\u2019m urging, I\u2019m calling on my PAC to edit the King of Bain advertisement and movie to remove the inaccuracies or to pull it off the air.” Now, clearly what\u2019s supposed to happen now is that a gaggle of so-called journalists with cameras and microphones will find Romney. Mr. Romney. “Mr. Romney! Mr. Romney! Newt says he\u2019s gonna get rid of these lies, Newt says he\u2019s gonna pull out the inaccuracies? Will you do the same? Will you do the same?” That\u2019s what the Newt camp hopes happens here. I\u2019m not sure that Newt… Well, he does. “Furthermore, I am once again calling on Governor Romney to issue a similar call for the super PAC.” So he is calling for Romney to coordinate with his super PAC the same way Newt\u2019s coordinating with his super PAC — in ways, of course, that they\u2019re not allowed to coordinate with their super PACs.<\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
