The GOP and the communists Democrats will make sure Romney wins.

And it strikes me, just as with his record as governor, where his record’s very different from his advertising,

And there should be ads on TV and in the papers in SC pounding on this issue --Hope there is enough $$$$$$$

Newt makes so much sense and can explain so clearly it is down right scary

If the voters in SC could just hear him Romney wouldn’t have a chance in hell

Immediately thereafter, Van Susteren interviewed Rick Santorum, who said, “Yeah, what he said!”

:~)

Who gets all the money for advertisements? The more conflicts, the more advertisements needed.

“I have a very long record as a Reagan conservative."

Now there's a sentence worthy of a two-hour debate.

Yes, I listened to it. As usual, Newt is quick on his feet, very very clear and concise.

But 40% of the people on this forum don’t want to hear this. They don’t see it the same way. They’re giving up on Newt and Perry for that matter.

Romney is getting a clear pass when he has a lot of explaining.

PS-BTW, are you warming up to Newt finally?

Newt CONSTANTLY has to go back and clarify or apologize for dumb things he does. That to me is a problem. He is so compulsive. Why? Why can’t he think before he speaks or does an action? Santorum is always steady and methodical. That is 1/2 the reason I am for Santorum.

“I don’t agree with attacks on free-market capitalism at all but I don’t believe this is really what is at the heart of Gov. Perry’s criticism of Romney and his time at Bain,” the former Alaska governor replied.

The idea that Perry and Newt are “attacking capitalism” is idiotic at best, diabolical at worst. To sat that Romney ran a company that plundered pension funds, bankrupted the corp, then forced the taxpayers to bailout the pension funds has nothing to do with “capitalism.” It has to do with using the raw power of capital to take from workers and companies that which they themselves cannot protect. It’s not illegal, it’s just immoral.

I don’t understand why the others aren’t hitting Romney for putting so many liberal judges on the bench, and supporting gay marriage.

He's not really clarifying or going back on some thing dumb, not at all.

He's clarifying what Romney and others have claimed he was saying, pretending he was going after capitalism itself, or saying Newt was attacking Romney from the left.

He did neither, he's reminding people what was the main points of what he (Newt) was saying, not what Romney bots (and a few others) are claiming he was doing.

Those of us who remember Newtus Magnificus are familiar with all his bluster and remember his monstorous goof in handling the Slick Willie/Monica fiasco.

Wouldn’t you say Newtus’ mouth is a prayer book. Always truthful and always wiser than the rest of us. Har Har Har.

Rick Santorum is my guy. Give a hoot, don’t NEWT.

He should spend the rest of the ten days hitting Romney for Planned Parenthood, liberal judges, and gay marriage. He should drop the Bain deal, since most people, INCLUDING FREEPERS, aren't sophisticated enough to understand what wrong with raiding companies for their pension funds.

Of course you are right but when extremely conservative people like Rush and Hannity are saying that he is bashing conservatism. It is hard not to believe it.

Perhaps stupid people should pay close attention to what Newt actually says the first time and then he wouldn't have to clarify later. I do not like much about his personal life and some of his progressive policy stances, but I have never had a problem understanding what he meant or where he is coming from.

Mitt’s in decline, as Newt’s (counter) attack ads start to bite: Romney’s only up 2 pts in SC in the latest poll, and Gingrich is out front in NC already- the day’s soon approaching when Romney is going to regret forcing the doughboy to go nuclear.

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander, right Mittens?

This morning Megyn Kelly interviewed McCain. He said, and I’m paraphrasing, to just look at GM. They got a bailout, they had to fire a lot of people and that was painful but now they’re on a big upswing and are hiring again. That’s how capitalism works.

So, there you have it. Capitalism now means taxpayer funded bailouts.
