And he was wrong about the 23rd district, and sitting on a bench with Nancy......But that’s okay. He’s seen the light. As Bush I said about Reagan’s “voodoo economics”....”I have evolved.”

I think Newt finally just got sick of Mitt sitting back taking pot shots. I don’t really blame him for hitting back. Hopefully he will get a chance to shut Mitt down at the debate tonight.

Newt didn't need to walk back from anything. He made a retort with humor, including a $10 bet. Funny how Romney gets a free pass...

Only hateful, dimwit blatherers could claim Newt's comment defined him as anti-capitalist. I'm sick of what passes for commentary and "insight" on the candidates and comments they make.

To hell with Romney for taking bait.

Since I'm here, to hell with Bachmann for claiming, with no evidence as is her M.O., Newt must be buying off tea party groups to get support--I guess spreading gossip and lies doesn't matter to Iowa evangelical pastors.

If there's a positive, Newt will be even more on his toes with the gotcha bait taking by his opponents.

I wish we had some other choice.

That was a “fit”?

LMAO. If Newt had a “fit” you’d know it. Mittens would have had no hair left and been left wimpering in a corner in a stupor.

Thanks TBBT.
"I do regret taking a shot at Mitt. It was foolish on my part. He had taken one more shot at me that he knew wasn't true and made an assertion that he knew was absurd, but it violated all the core principles I have in terms of trying to stay positive despite temptation," Gingrich said. "It also communicated something I don't believe in. I think people who run those companies have an obligation to run the companies effectively and to do the best they can and I've said in the past, many times, that he's a good manager."
