from TPM: http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/10/newt-gingrich-romney-changed-on-taxes.php
I think its clear he changed, Gingrich said on NBCs Meet The Press roundtable, admitting that Romney had shifted from wanting to lower taxes on all Americans to promising that his reform plan would not lower taxes paid by the wealthy . . .
In February, during a GOP primary debate, Romney said, Were going to cut taxes on everyone across the country by 20 percent, including the top 1 percent.
On Wednesday, facing down President Obama, he insisted, I will not reduce the taxes paid by high-income Americans.
Gingrich said Romneys inconsistency was good politics but violates a conservative belief. What he said is something that, frankly, true supply-siders dont necessarily love, but its good politics he said, I will close enough deductions that wealthy Americans will not get a net tax cut, the former House speaker said.

(3,182 posts)I said on debate night......eventually, the Teabaggers would figure out Romney threw them overboard at that debate.
I was wrong who I thought would point it out first (I said Erik Erikson of Red State or Bill Kristol) but I KNEW one of the head teabaggers would mention it.
Now, let's just wait for the Freepers to rip ol' Newty to shreds over it.
