FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Pressed further on the allegations, he said: “Let me be quite clear. The story
is false. Every personal friend I have who knew us in that period said the
story was false. We offered several of them to ABC to prove it was false.
They weren’t interested because they would like to attack any Republican.”
The debate came at the end of day of high drama in the Republican nomination
battle.
Rick Perry, the governor of Texas, dropped out of the race and endorsed Mr
Gingrich, who polls showed was closing fast on the front-runner Mitt Romney.
The former governor of Massachusetts meanwhile learned that he had not won the
Iowa caucuses by eight votes but lost by 34 votes to Rick Santorum, the
former Pennsylvania senator.
With only four candidates on stage and the stakes high, the exchanges were
among the sharpest so far.
Mr Romney and the others declined the opportunity to exploit the allegations
about Mr Gingrich, though the front-runner did point out in his opening
remarks to the fact that he had been married for 42 years.
But the politeness ended there. Mr Santorum said that during his time as
speaker Mr Gingrich had shown no discipline. “It was an idea a minute,” he
said, adding that his rival had failed to tackle corruption in Congress.
Mr Romney tried to deflate Mr Gingrich’s boasts about being an ally of Ronald
Reagan, who is still regarded as the epitome of a Republican president.
He said he had reread Mr Reagan’s diaries and found that Mr Gingrich was only
mentioned once. “He said you mentioned one idea and it wasn’t very good.
Even my Dad was mentioned once,” he said, referring to George Romney, a
former Michigan governor and candidate in the 1968 Republican primary.
Mr Santorum criticised Mr Gingrich’s support of the principle of
individually-mandated health insurance, which is at the heart of the health
care reform passed by President Barack Obama that every Republican has vowed
to repeal.
It would, he said, make debating the issue with Mr Obama difficult.
“You can’t run rings around the fact that you supported the core basis of what
President Obama put in place,” he said.
“I can,” retorted Mr Gingrich, while conceding the point. “I can say ‘I was
wrong and figured it out, you were wrong and didn’t’.”
After enduring the worst few days of his campaign, Romney again struggled to
find a firm answer to the question of when he would release his tax returns.
He said he would release them after the normal filing time in April or May but
couldn’t specify how many years he would release and grasped at the straw of
warning that the Democrats would attack him for being successful.
“I am not going to apologise for being successful,” he said.
He was however knocked off balance when asked if he would follow the example
his father set in 1967 by releasing 12 years’ return at once. “I don’t
know,” he said.
Attacked for “vulture capitalism” while he led the corporate buy-out firm Bain
Capital, Mr Romney has struggled to repress an image of elite detachment.
He strained to point out that he had not inherited money from his father but
“what I had I earned, I worked hard on my own”.
Getting slightly carried away with the point, he said: “We need to send
someone to Washington who has lived on real streets of America, who has
lived in private sector.”
