The Newt Gingrich campaign has released the following email containing details about their latest Florida ad buy:

Newt 2012 today is releasing a new ad today, “What Kind of Man?” which will air in Florida markets.

“Last night Mitt Romney revealed his character,” said R.C. Hammond. “In the past two debates, Newt Gingrich has been presidential and poised. In Governor Romney, we saw an over eager politician. Romney exposed his biggest weakness: credibility.”

TRANSCRIPT:

Governor Huckabee: “If a man’s dishonest to get a job, he’ll be dishonest on the job.” (Source)

Narrator: What kind of man would mislead, distort, and deceive just to win an election?

This man would be Mitt Romney. Romney said he has always voted Republican when he had the opportunity.

But in the 1992 Presidential Primary Romney had the chance to vote for George H.W. Bush or Pat Buchanan but he voted for a liberal Democrat instead. (Source)

Romney said his investments in Fannie and Freddie were in a blind trust.

But as reported in the National Journal, Romney earned tens of thousands of dollars from investments NOT in a blind trust. (Source)

Romney denied seeing a false ad his campaign used to attack Newt Gingrich. But Romney’s own campaign paid for the ad…Romney’s own voice is on the ad approving the content. (Source)

If we can’t trust Romney in a debate, how can we trust him in the White House?
