Right. Now Freepers think it’s immoral for a private business to make money? Zuccotti Park, anyone?

It is beginning to look like it!

GEEEEZZZZ! This ‘reporter’ worked for an organization funded in part by George Soros (& dozens of other left-wing millionaires) for crying out loud. She has a lot of room to talk!

Freepers think it's great for private business to make money; I know I do. Most also make a distinction between honest and dishonest work. My problem with Newt is his influence-peddling, his work to secure changes in public policy that economically benefit those who pay him, regardless of the national interest. His work to facilitate passage of Medicare Part D is a good example.

That said, I'd vote for him in the general election if he got the nomination. I find Newt's integrity suspect, but I do not find him politically abhorrent, as I do Romney. I think that if Newt got elected president, grassroots conservatives could keep his worse tendencies in check with appropriate pressure. I can't say the same for Romney.
