Newt & Perry’s attacks on capitalism were disgraceful.

“Newt & Perry’s attacks on capitalism were disgraceful.”

There is not attack on capitalism.

Your statement is a total Straw Man argument, or lack thereof.

I used to think it was Romney who was slimy, but now I’m beginning to think it’s Bain.

Capitalism is a means to an end, it can be a force for good, or it can be a force for bad, depending on the motives.

They were unAmerican attacks.

Romney had a library of Congress quantity of flip-flops that he could be scorched before they attacked the economic freedom that his brilliant, profitable and private work at Bain fully utilized to make a more efficient economy. If you want to change the president of a water company - don’t smash all the pipes in the street, go after the man. Newt is a small man, and Perry looks foolish.

I think Newt and Perry hurt this nation, and fueled the Democratic disinformation machine that is dragging this country to socialism. They deserve to lose.

BUT why should American taxpayers have to be forced to pay for Willard’s business incompetence and greed?

Workers were denied the severance pay and health insurance they’d been promised, and their pension benefits were cut..

What’s more, a FEDERAL GOVERNMENT insurance agency had to PONY UP $44 MILLION TO BAIL OUT the company’s underfunded pension plan.

Nevertheless, Bain profited on the deal, receiving $12 million on its $8 million initial investment and at least $4.5 million in consulting fees.

http://legalinsurrection.com/2012/01/bain-drip-drip-drip/

The Wall Street Journal analysis this week was devastating for Willard the Vulture/Lib at Bain..

Adding insult to injury, Bain would hide its profits in tax havens, not even paying the rate it was supposed to on the profits it made laying off workers.

Let’s see how the taxpayers feel about bailing out these companies’ pension funds and receiving no tax money back from Bain. Let’s let the people decide what they think of bailing out Romney.

Bottom line again: Why should American taxpayers have to be forced to pay for Willard’s business incompetence and greed?

Sorry they have hit the nail on the head.

I have been following the bread crumbs this morning and they have hit a really big nerve.
When the hedge fund, enviros, and sundry Wall Street VULTURE CAPITALIST start yelling you KNOW you have hit the right spot.

Does it bother you that Christie is out yelling for Romney when he thought the King of vulture capitalist CARL ICAHN and Beal Bank bought the TRUMP casinos in NJ?

They are not attacking Capitalism, they are attacking the Whore house called Business as usual on the EAST COAST.

F’ em’

Newt didn’t attack capitalism: he attacked unprincipled businessmen hiding behind capitalism. There is a big difference.

I agree 100 percent. However, if he is so disgusted with these two, why not endorse Santorum? That would be closer to Perry’s beliefs than Romney.

“Newt & Perry’s attacks on capitalism were disgraceful.”

I COULD NOT agree more. Newt’s attacks on Capitalism were HORRIBLE. It’s time for Newt to throw in the towel. Now Perry, well, he was only trying to help the Republican Party by giving Newt cover for his HORRIBLE attacks on capitalism. Sure, Perry sounded a bit like Newt, but what choice did he have, in the name of party unity. Go Perry!!!
