Ammo against Romney .... from the mouths of Republicans

Newt Gingrich:

"Someone who will lie to you to get to be president will lie to you when he is president."

Are you calling Mitt Romney a liar? "Yes." Questioned about his previous comment.

"We are not going to beat Barack Obama with some guy who has Swiss bank accounts, Cayman Island accounts, owns shares of Goldman Sachs while it forecloses on Florida and is himself a stockholder in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac while he tries to think the rest of us are too stupid to put the dots together and understand what this is all about."

Michele Bachmann:

"He can't beat Obama because his policy is the basis of Obamacare. The signature issue of Obama is Obamacare. You can't have a candidate who has given the blueprint for Obamacare. It's too identical. It's not going to happen."

"He's been very inconsistent on his positions. He's been on both sides of the abortion issue, on both sides of the issue with same-sex marriage ... he was for the TARP bill, the $700 billion bailout and the global warming initiatives."

Rick Perry:

"While you were the governor of Massachusetts in that period of time, you were 47th in the nation in job creation. ... You failed as the governor of Massachusetts."

"If you are a victim of Bain Capital's downsizing, it's the ultimate insult for Mitt Romney to come to South Carolina to tell you he feels your pain. Because he caused it."

"I have no doubt that Mitt Romney was worried about pink slips — whether he'd have enough of them to hand out."

Jon Huntsman:

"You can't be a perfectly lubricated weather vane on the important issues of the day."

"Gov. Romney enjoys firing people. I enjoy creating jobs."

"When you combine a record of uncertainty — running first as a senator, as a liberal; governor as a moderate; then as a conservative for the presidency, people wonder where your core is."

"He's been on three sides of every major issue of the day. And because of that it's going to be very tough in the end to be able to make that trust argument to the American people."

Rick Santorum:

"He is the worst Republican in the country to put up against Barack Obama." Santorum later said he was referring to Romney's standing on health care reform.

"If Mitt Romney's an economic heavyweight, we're in trouble, because he was 47th out of 50 in job creation in the state of Massachusetts when he was governor. He may have had some success at making money for himself and his partners at Bain Capital, and I give him a lot of credit for doing so, but that's a very different thing than going out and creating an atmosphere for people to create — that create jobs."

I guess all those years of Democrats being feckless when it comes to putting together attack ads has paid off. It allowed Republicans to attack each other in the confidence that Democrats would never put their statements into attack ads.
