Winning Our Future Newt Gingrich Ad: GOP Presidential Candidate Touted As 'The Conservative Choice'

Over the course of his 2012 campaign for president, Newt Gingrich has encountered his share of criticism from conservatives. With the former frontrunner lagging in recent Iowa polls, one super PAC is coming to his defense in crunch time.

Winning Our Future unveiled its first Iowa television ad on Wednesday, a spot that denounces the spending tactics of Mitt Romney, Rick Perry, and other competing candidates. The 30-second ad casts Gingrich as a "principled conservative" and cautions against letting "the liberal Republican establishment pick our candidate."

Watch the ad above.

...wait Newt, I thought you invoked the enshrined GOP 11th Commandment...

'Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.'

Hey HuffPosters, you need to hurry, the Wholesalers are running out of Pop Secret, Orville, Newmans, and Smart Balance popcorn!

Liberal Republican Establishment? How can anyone say that with a straight face? I can't even imagine anyone saying the Liberal Democratic Establishment with a straight face...

"Prinicpaled???" Having "principal," or any derivative of that word, and "Newt Gingrich" in the same sentence is what you call an "oxymoron," kind of like "military" and "intelligence." The two simply do NOT go together.

Words like liberal, socialist, and elite have no meaning anymore. They're just empty firebombs wingnuts throw at anyone they are against.

It's quite entertaining watching the Republican party cannibalize itself...

So... The ideological purity tests are reaching the point of absurdity? Let the Republicans eat themselves with this "liberal establishment" label! They will reduce themselves to irrelevance quite soon at this rate.

Honestly, I kind of glad he's/they're pushing this "Liberal Republican" canard. The further they try to shift the Overton window, to distort reality into their own personal fantasyland-esque alternate reality where up is down and black is white, the more people (on the right) will get slapped in the face with a healthy dose of "WAT SRSLY?!!!1?!1".

Keep it up. If Newt's Republican competition are "Liberal" then he's a hairs breadth from being a card carrying member of the Partito Nazionale Fascista. I'm waiting for the tipping point where the "moderate" Conservative's suffering from Fox News et al. induced necrosis of their cerebral neurons actually wake up out of their Orwellian comma. Seriously.
