Newt Gingrich has upped his attack on rival Mitt Romney, running robo calls in Florida now accusing rival him of forcing Holocaust survivors to eat non-Kosher food.
Gingrich spokesman R.C. Hammond confirms that the robo call is paid for by the campaign.
"As governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney vetoed a bill paying for Kosher foods for our seniors in nursing home -- Holocaust survivors, who for the first time were forced to eat non-kosher because Romney thought $5 was too much to pay for our grandparents to eat kosher," a man says in the robo call. "Where is Mitt Romney's compassion for our seniors? Tuesday, you can end Mitt Romney's hypocrisy on religious freedom with a vote for Newt Gingrich. Paid for by Newt 2012."
Asked about it today, Gingrich repeated three times, "I have no idea what you’re talking about." Yet Gingrich was quick to pounce on Romney during the last debate, when Romney professed not to know about a Spanish-language ad his campaign was running hitting Gingrich for implying Spanish was the "language of the ghetto."
Huffington Post first reported the ad.
The New York Post reported: “Mitt Romney is getting heat for a 2003 veto he cast as governor of Massachusetts to reject $600,000 in additional funds for poor Jewish nursing-home residents to get kosher meals. At the time, Romney said he nixed the funding of about $5 per day because it ‘unnecessarily’ would lead to an ‘increased rate for nursing facilities’ — even as kosher nursing homes were complaining that state-funding-formula changes could force them to close their kitchens.”

Not surprised to see FEISTY REDHEAD the first post on this one. She is like the little girl in school that just HAS TO BE AT THE FRONT OF THE LINE.
And that little girl, like feisty, usually has all the right answers and understands her subject.
Noot..this jacka$$ wild say anything to try to get elected, just like Willard. Pandering to Jews, pandering to Evangelicals, pandering to anyone who will listen. Didn't really help, did it, Nootie?
Next, the Newt will announce that Romney has been eating babies, drowned and boiled in their mother's milk! And did you hear that Romney is a secret agent for the communists? How about that Newt is personally endorsed by God, and will deliver the next book of Revelatlons during his inaugural address?
Seriously, where is the Newt getting his pharmaceuticals? Gotta be some GOOD stuff!
What a desperate douchebag. I'm sick of hearing about these clowns. Neither one of them will be president, so let's drop the "big race" for the nomination stories. Boring and useless.
Old Newt sure is desperate, isn't he?
We do not need to disregard Newt, nor do we need to issue derogatory comments about his character, etc. He does a more than ample job of self destruction, requiring no assistance from anyone affiliated with the opposition party. And, frankly, I'm not convinced that Romney is any better.
They have both stepped over the line of civility and entered the realm of Ludicrous. Although, I must admit, with this attack, Newt has really displayed a sense of frantic desperation heretofore unseen.
Keep it up Newt!! Yours and Romney's egotistical, childish and hostile attacks are helping shoot the Republican party in the foot and show cause why no Republican ought to be elected to office. Thanks from an Obama supporter!

Talk about a stretch!
Personally, I would prefer Newt talk about Willard's magic underwear & what kind of detergent he used to clean them...
From the photo, it appears Willard does a mean load of 'whites'...

Newt tells he staying in this race all the way to the convention. He won't last that long. He is so full of anger, rage, hate, vile and contempt he isn't going to live that long because his head is going to explode.
The angry muffin is overdone. Ding!
