IF IT WAS SO WIDELY DISCREDITED THEN WHY DID NEWT WIN SOUTH CAROLINA PRIMARY WHERE THEY PLAYED THIS VIDEO. THEN HE RAN OUT OF MONEY. WE GOT DOWN GRADED AND WAS SAID BY S&P BY REPUBLICANS HOLDING THE HOUSE HOSTAGE. ALL YOU FACT ARE NONSENSE. http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/newt-gingrich-wins-south-carolina-primary/2012/01/21/gIQAKTxBHQ_story.html http://www.thenation.com/blog/162612/gop-causes-sp-downgrade-republican-candidates-blame-obama http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/post/downgrade-blame-gop-gets-it/2011/08/08/gIQA00FQ2I_blog.html Thats the problem republicans don't work of facts. They work off feelings and religion.

what the, you just got done defending the video in a previous post and now you are saying that it isn't true? And no, the ads didn't stop because the super pac ran out of money, the ads stopped when newt gingrich told them to get rid of them. Newt won south carolina because he did well in the debates and he campaigned there the most. It was also revealed right before the primary that mitt didn't actually win Iowa. I'm sure the comercials did have an impact on voters that didn't bother fact checking it.
as for the s&p downgrade, we were downgraded because the republicans and democrats couldn't come to a compromise on the DEBT. Spending was out of control and the s&P came out and said it was downgraded because of "current level of debt, the trajectory of debt as a share of the economy, and the lack of apparent willingness of elected officials as a group to deal with the U.S. medium term fiscal outlook."
