Is the Romney slander going to affect him in the race?

The only reason obama got elected in the first place was because his predecessor had things so fucked up the republicans needed someone to help shoulder the blame for the next four years. It should be obvious that elections can be stolen (bush 2000/bush 2004) The thing that bothers me the most about america in general is that no one seems to remember all of the lies and the way bush threw money out the window for 8 years. What happened to the budget surpluses of the 90's? Bush's futile efforts to pursue the famous weapons of mass destruction saw to it that this surplus and much more money was funneled into the pockets of his big business friends in the form of defense contracts and inflated fuel costs. Lets also delve briefly into the bank bailout just days before his leaving office good ol 'W hands out almost a trillion dollars to his buddies. Shady? I think so. Then just months later when GM needed money to keep the doors open (millions not trillions) it was a great big deal. Don't even get me started on 9/11 Did you know that there is not one photo of the plane that supposedly hit the pentagon? Not one Photo or video hitting one of the the largest military installations in the world. But THESE republicans are different right? Right, give me a break Republicans are not now or ever were for the middle class which I assume most of us fall into the category of middle class. At least the things Obama has tried to do were for our benefit. Like it or not the national health care system would be a tremendous boon for the majority of americans. Those who do not want it, well go buy your own insurance then. As far as his spending trying to "rebuild America" Most of the structures I have seen that were rebuilt with the American Recovery Act money were in dire need of work. In fact I was fortunate enough to gain employment on a few of these projects. As far as americans being out of work now being obamas fault. What a joke, employment was steadily dropping throughout bushs' time in office but now its a big issue? The fact is our economy is slowly recovering Christmas spending was up150% this year from last and locally most of the factories are hiring albeit at a wage lower than I am willing to accept. I do not mean to come across as a pro Obama flaming liberal by no means is this true. I simply see what has happened over the past decade and it makes me sick to think that americans are so short sighted that they forget about the past and only focus on the present. We will never get out of this mess until our House and Senate get off their collective asses and start doing something. This will not happen this year however do to the upcoming election. I'm sure we will see a year of useless tv ads and no decision making in our govt.

I like it happening now because Gingrich still has a chance. Depending on how Romney stands up on his tax returns, caymen accounts and 15% relative tax rate.

Also, if this stuff gets trooped out now it will have much less impact than near November. Obama is playing a purely political campaign at this point.

The reason the left is on Romney's tax rate now as opposed to later is because Obama benefits from a long primary. If Gingrich wins in South Carolina, how much longer does this primary campaign last? It's a good strategy: Egg 'em on, and let them eat each other.

There are 2 new stories against Romney.

First is that he pays about 15% in tax due to the fact that most of his income is from capital gains. Now, the left is trying to make this appear somehow illegal or immoral.

Second, he has bank accounts in the Caymen islands. Again, completely legal but the left is trying to make it sound shady.

With the major class warfare push from the Obama administration do you think the new information is going to damage or possibly even take down the Romney campaign?

Wait until the Nightline interview tonight. It's going to be ugly. Newt is already doing damage control.

Gingrich has no chance of winning and with good reason. He is, literally, a despicable human being. He is glib, I will give him that, but would you want your daughter in the same room with him?
