Mitt Romney's Oldest Son Links To Site That Makes Dig At Newt Gingrich's Infidelities

Romney Gingrich

First Posted: 01/29/2012 7:30 pm Updated: 01/30/2012 8:36 am

Mitt Romney's oldest son, Tagg Romney, wrote on his Twitter feed Sunday afternoon: "This is my favorite video of the campaign so far."

He added the hashtag #AnnRomney4FirstLady.

The link that Tagg provided sent users to a website independent of the Romney campaign, titled AmericaNeedsMitt.com. It was a video called "Judge a Man by the Woman."

It features photos of Mitt and Ann Romney set to music.

But in the text of the website, under the headline, "You Can Judge Mitt By His Woman -- Ann Romney," there is a paragraph of text at which Tagg Romney may not have looked closely enough. The text is largely harmless until the last line, when it makes an obvious comparison of Ann Romney to Callista Gingrich, Newt Gingrich's third wife after extramarital affairs broke up his first two marriages.

"Do we want, as our First Lady, a woman who raised five wonderful and successful sons, is grandmother to 16 beautiful grand kids, and has always been a paragon of virtue? Or do we want 'the other woman?'" the site reads.

The site is run by Mike Sage, of Wichita Falls, Texas, who lists himself on his Facebook page as an "author, editor, publisher, graphics designer, marketing consultant, broadcaster, conservative political activist, stock market trader, and a big Mitt Romney fan."

Here is the full paragraph from the website:

We produced this video several weeks ago, but it definitely needs to be seen by several million more people before we retire it. It’s important that Americans come to realize that a man and his wife are a team, and the fruits of their partnership will be what they bring to the White House. Do we want, as our First Lady, a woman who raised five wonderful and successful sons, is grandmother to 16 beautiful grand kids, and has always been a paragon of virtue? Or do we want “the other woman?â€

Neither the Romney campaign nor the Gingrich campaign immediately returned a request for comment.

Here is an idea...

Maybe mitts sons should hide in a closet for the next 10 months and let their rich daddy fight it out with the REAL MEN OF AMERICA!

I dont think mitts sons trick or treat or whatever their sissy names are have the MANHOOD to step out from behind their grand daddys money and be real PATRIOTIC AMERICANS!

How many sons does mitt have?

And not one of them had the courage to enlist as a rear eschelon supply sargeant in the airforce?

It has largely been ignored but mitts sons are not particularly respected amongst veterans who fought for this country...

You may say that mitts sons are 'yellow'.

You're not going to vote for Mitt because his sons (you know, men who aren't running for President) decided not to join the military?

Mitts sons are a barometer for a potential first family. His sons are obviously undisciplined, spoiled and a liability to mitt.

The reason why Obamas daughters are never in the news is because they are well behaved and have strong parents and a solid upbringing.

Mitts family is spoiled beyond reason and it will be only a matter of time when they break. Mitts wife should spend more time raising her children than making money and putting down newt.

The son mentioned in the article is 41 years old.  And he's not the one running for president.

Will the Inauguration ball gown have a Scarlet A sewn into it?

If newt gets the nomination I will lose all respect for the process . If you can be as deceiving as him in all of his affairs while in office and still be considered , this country has bigger problems then I can stomache.

I don’t know why the person who wrote the article thinks that Tagg Romney didn’t read the last line. Callista Gingrich was the other woman in New’s second marriage and there are a lot of websites that point this out. Tagg is showing that he’s proud of his mother but he didn’t link to anything that’s unfair or untrue about Callista Gingrich.

If its true that Newt was committing adultery for some years then that should automatically disqualify him from being the President. The reason is that as the "Commander- in Chief", adultery is an offense that a military officer can be charged with and discharged from the Army. As the Commander in Chief he is the last governing authority over such cases. How can he be that having committed it knowingly and publicly?
03:30 PM on 01/30/2012
Adultery is an offense for a military officer but the Commander-in-Chief is a civilian. Civilian control of the military has always been very important for our democracy. The problem with Newt is his hypocrisy in telling others how to live their lives and the cruelty in the way he treated his first two wives. He didn’t just have moments of weakness when he cheated. His affairs lasted for years, and then he left his previous wives when they were sick. There are also reports that he didn’t always pay his alimony and child support. He also gave the impression that he was trading in his wives for younger, newer models in the way that he would trade in a used car. The problem with Newt is his sleaziness.

I'll bet Romney's sons are tweeting about how they served their country in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Well, if we're judging the candidates by their wives Michelle Obama wins in a clear landslide.

I agree.

Why not? Anyone who will lie to a spouse on such a basic issue as fidelity will lie to anyone.
