Newt 2012

"The French Connection"
  1:08 web video from Jan. 12, 2012.

[Music] Male Announcer: What has Massachusetts given us? 

A liberal governor who wanted us to believe he is "strong on defense."

A liberal Senator who wanted us to believe he was a man of the people.

And a Massachusetts moderate who runs away from Ronald Reagan.

Romney (clip from 1994): Look, I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush.  I'm not trying to return to Reagan-Bush...

Male Announcer: Romney donated to Democrats, and given the chance to vote in the Democrat or Republican primary, Romney chose the Democrats, voting for a liberal Democrat instead of President George H.W. Bush.

Romney opposed the Contract with America, raised taxes and authored government-mandated health care with taxpayer-funded abortions. 

But now he tells us "trust me, I'm a conservative."

Massachusetts moderate Mitt Romney.  He'll say anything to win.  Anything.

And just like John Kerry

Kerry (clip): Laissez les bons temps rouler.

Male Announcer: He speaks French, too.

Romney (clip from Olympics): Bonjour, je m'appele Mitt Romney.

Male Announcer: But he's still a Massachusetts moderate.  And a Massachusetts moderate cannot beat Barack Obama.

Notes: Apparently speaking French is a no-no.
