And I'll tell you that out of that anti Romney -- making waves that.
Among some conservatives that.
Attack is the first real attempt by any Republican group to go after one of Mitt Romney's key arguments first -- to -- that he created jobs while in the private sector.
Rick Tyler is it's a former spokesman for Newt Gingrich runs the group putting out the -- He claims the group is vetting former governor Romney for the sake of the Republican Party.
Not all Republicans agree with the strategy obviously the politically conservative organization the Club for Growth put out a statement today and it reads.
Newt Gingrich's attacks on Mitt Romney's record -- Bain Capital are disgusting.

-- you know that well sounded stick kind of rang true as me though I mean wait my good friend you call -- like a family member.
You've been friends and colleagues and you have worked for him tirelessly your whole adult life right.
The large part of and then all of a sudden as the campaign is going you don't like the ways campaigning and you quit towels than Apple's miracle happens and you run the packets that has been 3.5 million dollars at.
And I should not ready to pack them I'm an advisor of the pack and we've that we've got better people -- OK you know what I'm saying let me ask you the question that -- all that quacking and wobbling.
Makes me think that stuff I don't.
Yeah color crazy.
Gentlemen gentlemen -- let me ask you something new -- here.
You guys got a five million dollar contribution.
Just recently from a Las Vegas casino -- Sheldon Adelson who remember the you read that -- the -- you have no knowledge of rhetoric certainly not on the island reluctance on another in the -- well why did he give that money.
I don't know come on that not everybody saying because he has a long term relationship.
With Gingrich Newt Gingrich and the -- were both.
Soliciting.
Money from him for the explicit purpose of attacking.
Mitt Romney I don't I don't know if you look oh come on -- -- -- a single and a Rick why would you why would you go -- senate Adelson for five million dollars if you went back did not have a political strategy.

Mitt Romney's pac restore America -- is negative ads against.
The news in Iowa and I don't -- asking well I don't -- didn't -- if you got about the same answer.
Okay I'm just saying that you you get five million dollars from this casino guy.
And maybe even the people on the pack won't even talk about it.
Well look it's all gonna be disclosed in the month -- -- is all transpired we will see who gave money it's not it's not a secret it's not.
Everything all -- have to disclose all their dollars and that'll happen of course what happened as a result of all of this is.
His numbers have plummet.
Newt Gingrich is not even part of the discussion anymore and yet you all are knocking down.
The man he's mad at particularly -- -- -- initiatives a whole nation be held hostage by these feuds of millionaire.
I'm not following this.
Get it that would -- in the held hostage well -- you know they're voting.
You get the money.
-- -- don't talk about the candidates supposedly is connected right to big rich people are fighting it out we have a strategy against our of our competitors just like you have a strategy in against your competitors sincerely yours is if you don't allow you tell everybody your strategy going from here to here right -- -- took this tacky.
They had forty some percent South Carolina would like -- champion follows a long time there it goes from here to here than -- -- there are there and knowing the verdicts -- every -- knows it doesn't.
-- -- -- -- -- So tell me about this and we're gonna have 28 minute -- and -- gonna pull out how many erratic which -- no it's gonna watch when he not a legal -- clips and throw it on so -- -- advertising political advertising do you run -- box and we we do them.
With the goalie ever totally get hopefully -- Let me -- question about the captain because her parents and it's going to attack being Cali is that's what -- -- not because it says -- yeah the book and -- there let me just say.
I will put a big a big monitor -- good Booker is okay but let's who has not been attacked Mitt Romney -- for working at all I really don't have little.
Well what I -- -- OK let's say if baloney because the go along with me because your generals don't OK -- so what -- Happens then when people say why -- Republicans arguing over free enterprise and capital.
This is -- know once argued over free enterprise on for free enterprise this is a free enterprise system.
And an odd scene with the run a campaign they wanna talk about shelter and they wanna got to talk about trade of destruction.
Well I held I'll buy it.
You know when when Steve Jobs created something like Apple Computer other things that -- business like Smith -- that's the creative part he built something that destroyed.
But it was -- Ronnie within like the -- into the pickings of Doug Smith corona.
Now that's fine the market allows it's not him it's not illegal in some cases some of the practices I would consider an ethical -- -- But that's what he did but he's running his campaign on the idea that he created jobs so don't tell me your Steve Jobs in this on the creative side when -- actually feel a pattern of the destruction site where people lose jobs so he says I create a 100000 jobs -- forgot to mention their Mexico hours.
Or southeast Asia but I'm just did the central on the you're gonna fight note and couples and is not under indictment and the idea that because we -- attacking Mitt Romney certainly am attacking capitalism that's that's.
A pretty amazing as -- mr.
capitalism I don't think so.
His -- destruction side.
Not the creative side he's trying to say is for his side and I'm just pointing out as is his records false and you don't think that's gonna happen in general election let's get outside this argument not live free or die baby yeah.
Hey thanks coming -- good look when it's.
