As a conservative I accept his statement 100%. Most of the “poor” safety net now includes cell phones, an SUV, Gucci bags. Why even mention the flat screen color tv’s and drugs those are givens. I’d criticize more his including the very rich. We need business. But I’ll accept a focus on the great middle class. Let’s not go liberal please.

Since this DUNCE is being touted as the "most electable conservative" I TAKE ISSUE!

The idea is to REMOVE government regulations and allow the God given abilities of mankind to flourish undeterred by burdensome government.

In one fell swoop the DUNCE has segregated Americans into groups -- the POOR (who he'll keep alive and poor), the RICH (of which he is one and thank you very much we're doing just fine) and the MIDDLE that NEED HIS help (MY what could he have up his sleeve to help us -- RomneyCare that so many "love?").

He misses the essence of what being conservative is because he's a big government MANAGER!

Yes. Conservatism is a foreign language to him. Even Soledad O’Brien seemed surprised, and basically gave him a prompting and a second chance to modify his words.

Exactly. My take as well.

Reagan ALWAYS spoke of the safety net. And to the next poster, I am not a Romney supporter never was. I will, however, support the nominee.

Do you not like that if Newt wins?

I’ve defended Newt here as well, many many times.
