Heartless: Gingrich Slams Romney For "Show[ing] No Concern" for the "Humanity" of Illegal Immigrants Already In the Country

Glad we're gambling on him, because he's definitely super-conservative 'n stuff.

You know -- he'll challenge the assumptions of the media and the left for us in his public declarations.

“You have to live to in a world of Swiss bank accounts and Cayman Island accounts and automatic $20 million a year income for no work to have a fantasy this far from reality,” Mr. Gingrich said. “This is an Obama-level fantasy… He certainly shows no concern for the humanity of people who are already here.”

The Gingrich campaign is trying to make inroads with Miami’s large Cuban population as it tries to gain momentum in Florida. In a Spanish-language radio ad, the campaign refers to Mr. Romney as “anti-immigrant.”

Rubio's scolding Newt for... um, assuming the assumptions of the left in his attack on Romney.

“This kind of language is more than just unfortunate. It’s inaccurate, inflammatory, and doesn’t belong in this campaign,” Rubio told The Miami Herald when asked about the ad.

“The truth is that neither of these two men is anti-immigrant,” Rubio said. “Both are pro-legal immigration and both have positive messages that play well in the Hispanic community.”

I can't wait to see where this campaign of challenging the assumptions of the left evolves next.

So, to recap: Gingrich supports the individual mandate and he thinks other candidates don't show sufficient "concern" for the "humanity" of illegal immigrants, and we should get on board with this crazy train because he's the Hope of True Conservatism.
