MASON CITY, Iowa – The Strong America Now Super PAC is sending direct mail pieces to Iowans this week in support of Newt Gingrich while attacking Mitt Romney – something the Gingrich campaign has vowed not to tolerate.
"Romney is the second most dangerous man in America and will perpetuate Obama's slide into financial crisis," one of at least two mailers from the Super PAC floating around the state reads. "Don't let Romney backers mislead you!" it continues.
"Newt Gingrich,” that same piece of literature reads, “Has the proven experience eliminating the deficit and making America prosperous."

Another mailer from the Strong America Now Super PAC calls Gingrich "the right choice" and says he is the only candidate that has the track record to reduce the deficit.
Romney, on the other hand, the ad reads, "has refused to sign a pledge to eliminate the deficit by the end of his first term in office… Romney's plan comes nowhere close to eliminating the federal deficit – at any point."
The former House Speaker has been very critical of Romney’s Super PAC, Restore Our Future, as it has been running endless negative television ads and mailing numerous anti-Gingrich campaign pieces.
Last Tuesday in Iowa, Gingrich even called on Romney to publicly demand his Super PACs only run positive ads.
"He can say that he condemns negative ads and I ask that PAC to run only positive ads. It is very simple. Anything short of that is bologna. We ought to understand these are his people, running his ads, doing his dirty work while he pretends to be above it," Gingrich said in Ottumwa, Iowa, on Dec. 20.
The Speaker's campaign would not comment on what seems to clearly be a pro-Gingrich Super PAC that is attacking Romney – one of the Strong America Now Super PAC mailers reads: "Newt Gingrich for president."
The purpose of the Strong America Now Super PAC mailers, according to the FEC website, is to support Gingrich and also "opposes Mitt Romney."

I seen a bumper sticker in a movie once it said " Kill them all let GOD sort them out "
Hint hint hint
I'm amazed at the amount of people who know nothing about how the Government or how a Business functions in this country! I graduated with a D minus, I never went to Collage; I worked for one company my entire life for one year... I'm now 48 yrs old and was raised in a semi poor family...
So let me educate some of you.
I own a corporation that did 5 Million last year...
When a person gets a business license, this is nothing but a form that makes you a "TAX COLLECTOR FOR THE IRS!"
The IRS makes you responsible for all the book keeping for your employees and a sales tax collector, this is a huge liability for a company! One mistake and the IRS will seize everything you own.
In business, we have a profit margin that is never touched AT ALL! If the government raises our taxes, we must pass this on to you "THE CONSUMER." We never touch the Profit margins AT ALL!
Now, if we cannot compete with another business then we will lay off "EMPLOYEES." Because they are the biggest expense a company has.
Let me be very clear about this, I have spent a lot of money training you!
I actually want to pay you more money so that you will stay with the company! You are the single best investment in any company.
If the Government LOWERS THE TAX RATE; I THEN PASS THIS MONEY TO YOU and the CONSUMERS!
Because my profit margins are already set and they are never touched. Any fluctuations in the economy or with taxes gets passed on. WE WILL NEVER TOUCH THE PROFIT MARGINS THAT ARE SET IN THE COMPANY
NOW
The United States is the largest Corporation in the world. It takes in 2.3 Trillion in Revenue! So let me ask everyone this question.
If you owned this business... Who would you put in charge if you could not work anymore?
Remember, you have poured your entire life into this company in order to create more security for your family and to help others. You wouldn't even place your son in charge if he was lazy or knew nothing about the company! This is a decision that must be made very wisely! You get one chance at this!
YOU WILL HAVE A SET OF CRITERIA"S THAT HAVE TO BE MET
for the new manager or CEO of the United States Company
1. You must have at least 20 years of employment with the company! this means that "You have been in either the senate or congress for a minimum of 20 yrs; and you must have worked with the President!" this is a criteria that must be met! Period
2. You must have complete knowledge of all your Vendors "Congress & senate" and you must understand how to create a good working relationship in order to get the best price for all your goods! this means you must "Work with congress on both sides of the isle and can get things passed THAT THEY BOTH WILL AGREE ON"
3. You must have a complete understanding of the Constitution and how it works! this will force you to adhere to the laws that where created by the founding fathers! in effect "you know how the business functions at its best.
4. You must have a complete understanding about the History of Wars; and how to Preempt them from happening again!
Who in their right mind would pick a person that has never done ANY OF THIS AT ALL; and take him to the top floor and say "congratulations you are now the head of the largest company on the planet good luck!" Then you wonder why the company is sinking 3 years later? The country will be broke five years from now! We are presently at 100% of our GDP, we are the reserve currency for the world. The current administration has put almost 6 Trillion of new currency into the markets, we are heading for a massive inflation that will wipe out every persons bank accounts! When this happens the country will go to War to protect its National Security.
That's the biggest crock I've seen here yet, and that's saying something about a political blog. You're asking people to believe lies based on your anonymous claim of being a business genius. Anyone who's actually operated a business knows better.
Profit margin is NOT something that's inviolate with the ability to just set a price wherever you wanted. Profits go up and down with the quality of our business decisions, the economy, and factors entirely out of our control. That's why so many businesses went under during the Great Recession. That's why the Detroit automakers needed bailed out. If you'd ever actually managed a P&L you'd know that.
You NEVER lay off employees just because your tax rate changes. If you can make more money with more employees you hire. If you can make more money with less employees you fire. End of story.
The effective tax rate on business is the lowest in DECADES. There's ZERO evidence that prices have EVER gone down because tax rates go down. Prices go up because the market will bear it. It's called the Law of Supply and Demand. Conservatives idolize it, you know better than to claim otherwise.
So stop playing tough guy and pretending as a "businessman" you have the ability to hold the common man hostage for a lower tax rate. Trickle down is a fraud, and the arrogance of pretending we're all subservient to some all-knowing big business class is criminal.
I think people lost site of what is happening in this country. I studied Military History most of my life; from Rome to the Third Reich... History teaches us everything we need to know. So let's start.
1. 90% of all wars were started by a super power that went broke.
2. Having spent all of the money, the King raises taxes and when he cannot collect anymore he then goes to war and takes the Gold from another smaller country.
3. Iraq went broke after the long war with Iran, in order to stay in power Saddam attacked a smaller country called Kuwait and stole all the Gold the country had in it's banks!
At the current rate of spending the United States will be bankrupt within the next 6 years!
At that point the Dollar will turn into nothing but a piece of paper.
this happened to Germany, read your History about this and what the outcome was for Germany!
1. When Germany lost WW1, France, Britain and America demanded that Germany pay for the entire war... The British & French demanded 80% of Germany's GDP! The Germans refused saying it will bankrupt the country when France threaten them with more war the Germans said "Okay, we will give you your money, so they printed enough money to cover everything they owed, they packed a train full of this money and sent it to France... Funny but within 1 month the German currency was worth NOTHING.
"Your History Books"
America is the reserve currency of the world. Obama has spent more money then all the presidents from George Washington to Bush combined.
At the current rate of spending the United States will lose it's ability to Print Money why? Because it will be worthless to other countries "hence the downgrade of the countries rating!" but other countries will not accept it and will demand that a new currency takes its place "Bankrupting the U.S."
When this happens the country will not be able to pay it's debts. When this happens a country cannot pay for the goods it needs to survive, the country then goes to war in order to keep the government alive and to protect the National Security of the country. This is how wars start!
I own a business that did 5 Million last year. I never went to collage, I worked for one company for an entire year and I graduated from High School with a D-... I'm now 48 years old.
What I need people to understand is that a company will never touch its profit margins. We pass this on to the consumer. Since Obama became President we have seen more regulations then I have ever seen in my Business life! It is almost impossible to get a loan from ANY bank thanks to Barney Frank, The building industry has been saturated with new energy Building codes that make it impossible to be competitive with homes that were built prior to 2011. The Government needs to get out of the building industry and it needs to let banks give loans to good customers. Wall street has nothing to do with the country! No one forces anyone to buy stocks, this is done at your own RISK. It is a commodity broker "nothing more nothing less."
If you believe that taxing the Rich will change this problem your absolutely wrong, they will either leave the country or they will start a corporation in ? with a 6% business tax! They turn into an importer of goods into the U.S. and continue doing business as usual...
The only way to get the country moving is to lower taxes on businesses, we then pass this off to the consumer by lowering the price point of goods sold and we build plants in the U.S. THEN WE HIRE THE LOCAL WORKING CLASS IN THAT AREA AND WE PAY THEM WELL. Restaurants open up, gas stations open up, Walmart comes into town now... This is how you grow the country
The United States is a huge corporation, if it lowers the tax rate, then this benefits everyone. But, I actually believe that to many people really do not understand how a Business works; and due to this I believe that nothing will change; and that we are heading for a downfall that will wipe out every american financially. When the new Health care system goes into effect it will cost 42 Trillion...
Read your HISTORY BOOKS; for in these books it will tell you how the country works at its best; and it will teach you everything you need to do! to get everything back on track! That's how I created a successful business "I studied everything I could about markets; and how business brand themselves and how they function with a good business model"
I just want to say "Good Luck to everyone, cause we're going to need it"
David King, why didn't you answer me where I challenged your knowledge of how corporations REALLY work? Instead you expand and repost someplace you hope it will be more effective.
I'll just leave you back on thread 299 with ONE question instead of the many I posted previously.
How does your version of economic brilliance create demand in an economy that has overcapacity and lack of demand?
Newt is probably the most dangerous one now because on one side he says one thing and on the other side he does another He is personally responsible for much of this hatred against Democrats or actually anyone who opposes him. That is why he is sliding in the polls. People are learning truth about him. Obama does great about trying to balance things he is for and against. That is what we need in a president. Not a radical anything.
Could you imagine a fistfight between Newt and Obama? I wonder which one would end up crying?
No, I couldn't, but I can now.
Romney and Obama are far from being the most dangerous guys in the US. Perry, Bachmann and Santorum, on their own and/or managing and implementing the agenda of the far right are far more dangerous to the social liberties guaranteed by the Constitution, the relationships that we continue to foster around the world and to the current and future economy which is only now beginning to recover.
Thanks for educating us. Please don't throw in any spelling or grammar lessons

The famous MITT Romney cut is a favorite haircut amongst the Iowa Barbers...
People were heard simply asking their Barbers for a MITT...
One Man spotted two Street Walkers on the corner and asked for a them for a Herman...
How can you not like inmates of the right-wing asylum beat 'n-up on each other ?
LOL.
