Newt and Mitt Use Same Line of Attack
In the past week we have witnessed Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich use the same line of attack against Rick Santorum. Romney called Rick "Big Labor's Favorite Republican" and shortly there after Newt echoed the charge saying that Rick was a "Big Labor Republican"

As the above illustrates both Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney have attacked Rick Santorum as a Big Labor Republican recently. But is it True? No it is not according to Pennsylvania's Union Leaders. According to them Rick was no friend to Big Labor and the only times he voted with them was when it benefitted business as well as evidenced by Rick's vote against NAFTA. Not only that but Rick received low grades from Big Union AFL-CIO only getting a 12% and most of the time a 0%. So this notion of Rick being a Big Labor Republican is completely FALSE.

Newt on the other hand is on record praising Former Head of SEIU Andy Stern including in one of his books. So maybe Newt should look in the mirror if he wants to see a Big Labor Republican.

So as you can see it is Newt not Rick who favors unions and the attack both Newt and Mitt leveled against Rick Santorum is completely false. Now you have to ask yourself why are Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney using the same line of attack against Rick Santorum? It almost seems coordinated in a way. Lets examine the evidence. We know that Newt was in bad shape financially a few weeks ago when suddenly his biggest backer Sheldon Adelson who had cut him off had a change of heart after having had meetings with Mitt Romney he shells out another $10 Million to Newts PAC. Mitt who is in close battles with Rick in Michigan, Arizona, and Washington at the time and now has Ohio where things are close as well. And Newt who is desparate to get back in the race by winning his home state of Georgia, Tennessee, and Oklahoma but was trailing in the latter two states by double digits. Then comes the attacks from Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, and then Newt. Rick lost Michigan, Arizona, and Washington. Plus now polls have tightened in Ohio and Tennessee. Newt's lead in Georgia has expanded from 6 to double digits and Rick has gone from 2nd place there to 3rd 2 points behind Romney. So it is evident how the attacks have benefitted all parties, and it is clear that it was a coordinated attack on Santorum. These are not the actions of men who should be our nominee. These are the actions of cowards, bullies, and desparate men desparately seeking power. So please don't let these falsehoods sway your opinion and Vote for Rick Santorum!
