With Wall Street out of fashion this election season, can Mitt Romney fend off the attacks on his tenure at Bain Capital?
Some GOP presidential rivals, especially Newt Gingrich, have laid into his private equity past, accusing him of "looting companies" and laying off workers. While those attacks may backfire now — conservatives have rallied to Romney's defense — they might work in the general election.

If he would only do us all a favor and just get out of the race.
The viciousness of attack ads and blatant lies were also intended to throw Newt off-balance and make irrational mistakes. That part didn't work. In fact, it backfired.
Newt coldly gave Romney a fair warning in the NH debates, basically along these lines:
"If you stop telling lies about me, I won't [have to] tell the truth about you."
Newt, face-to-face, gentlemanly gave a chance for Romney to back off and call off the attack dogs. Mitt was visibly shaken, yet he pressed on. (Newt Gingrich eyed as main rival - Strategies skip Santorum - FR / BG, 2012-01-07)
à la guerre comme à la guerre, and now, how the tables have turned.
Even before the ad ran, it became obvious that it is Romney who is off-balance, off his game, acting "zany" and he is lousy when unscripted - "I like firing people" and comparing his work at Bain to Obama's bailout of UAW at GM and Chrysler... just two days after the warning?
What's worse, he can't explain anything (Bush redux), he just deflects by blaming Newt, either himself or through the elites in media and bought endorsers (35 Romney endorsers received contributions first). Those who think that resume-padding, privileged, mean, easily shaken or stirred, unbalanced, not thinking fast on his feet John McCain Mitt Romney is a good "electable" nominee, they belong to the Stupid Party.
Trying to deflect direct hits on Romney's exaggerated or false claims about his stellar "executive experience" or "jobs creation" or "ethics" - which will be coming from Dems, fast and furious, if he is the nominee - by labeling them as "attack on capitalism" is just playing the same game as Democrats do by accusing people who are troubled by EPA regulations, unions, failing schools and teacher's unions etc., of being "anti-environment, anti-working-class, anti-middle-class, anti-education" etc.
Don't fall for this liberal line of attack, because they can't defend the indefensible. Stating certain "inconvenient facts" about Soros, Buffett, Burkle, just to name a few, doesn't make one an anti-capitalist. This isn't about "capitalism," this is about Debunking the Myth.

After the Bain train passes , it will be time to bring out the Tiffany bills , the huge fine , the reason he was removed from congress and on and on . The fat man has run out of gas .
Romney Must Get Personal Over Bain Capital AttacksYes, because Willard Romney only ever "gets personal" against conservative candidates like Perry or Gingrich. Romney's "campaign" is asset stripping the activist base of the GOP as ruthlessly as Bain Capital liquidates U.S. manufacturers in favor of low-wage retail jobs at Staples or Dominos.
- they might work in the general election?
LOL!!!! The Investors Business Daily have becomes masters of the obvious.
Yes, I wish Mitt would get out of the race too !

Conservatives? What part of idiots do we not understand. Is it that Newt does not have the right to attack back after Romney destroyed him in Iowa and the so called conservatives destroy him in NH. Some fun, right?
People vested in maintaining the GOP Status Quo have rallied to Romney’s defense.
You Mitt-wits are whistling past the graveyard if you think this won’t be THE issue in the general campaign.
If so, Romney will bet skewered by 0bama politically and vualla....another 4 years.

Dems Prepare To Hammer Romney With The REAL Bain Onslaught (Newt's ad just the appetizer)
Conservatives will be "McCained" once again.
The GOP is on it's way out for the democrat party has better liberals than the Republican party does.
Romney is going to lose—maybe not the nomination, that remains to be seen—but surely the election.
He is the most uninspiring, phony, oily used car salesmanish candidate, and the media will be MORE than happy to paint him as that and more. They will show NO restraint in attacking him.
And those who tried to sound the warning of what an awful candidate he would be will take NO COMFORT in it because it will be TOO LATE. Four more years of the Marxist and our ticket to hell on earth.
I pray he doesn’t get the nod.
Newt was the only sitting Speaker ever to receive a reprimand and a fine. 85% of his GOP colleagues voted to reprimand him. If Newt getsw the nomination, that will be one of the biggest issues in the general campaign along with his womanizing and multiple marriages.
It’s already been beaten to death.
Gay supporting, $50 abortion benefit, government mandated healthcare, anti-gun, tax-raising, company-looter placemarker
... and he claims to be a conservative? Which part??
I know....”might work”.........
Good lord we are so screwed.
