"Is capitalism really about the ability of a handful of rich people to manipulate the lives of thousands of other people and walk off with the money? Or is that, somehow, a little bit of a flawed system?"

- Newt Gingrich

Not the language of the left? Sure Newt.

Nice try. I don’t disagree with Rush often, but he is crazy if he thinks Newt is not trying to win the nomination. Rush is a very stubborn man and hates to be wrong. He will stay on this until he satisfies himself. But Rush is wrong and Newt will win this argument.

I expect to see a sign with that caption at a future OWS protest.

Tragedy for Romney... should have called off his super PAC in Iowa for attacking Newt as a Pro-Abort, tax cheat who was so EEEEEEEEvil for taking a consulting gig with Fannie Mae.

Payback is uh... well it rhymes with John Kerry.

Newt has jumped the shark. Everyone knows he is a big government Rep who believes that government can solve all of our problems. He thinks business should share their profits with their workers, not the investors and stockholders. Newt doesn’t like the idea that the “rich people” can do whatever they want with their profits and businesses. He wants them to share their gains out of a sense of social obligation and fairness. This is not much different than Obama’s spreading the wealth around comment to Joe the Plumber.

I think Newt is doing this to show how weak Romney will be in the General Election against Obama.

Well, I don't think I'm using the language of the Left. I'm using the language of classic American populism.

Is that actually better? Is populism what we are pushing these days?

Newt needs to be careful, if we use the new standard for quoting that campaigns are using against Romney, this quote of his will get him two ways:

Way 1: "Well, I don't think" -- (narrator) "What does Newt have against thinking? He certainly wasn't thinking when he sat on the couch with Pelosi. And he wasn't thinking when he praised John Kerry and sided with him against Jim DeMint on Global Warming. He could not have been thinking when he took millions from Freddie and Fannie. And what was he thinking when he attacked Paul Ryan and the House Tea Party for "right-wing socialism"?

Way 2: "I'm using the language of the Left. I'm using the language of classic American populism."

Of course, when you have to argue that you are NOT doing something, it often means you are.

Hmmmm, interesting choice of words...

I don’t care about Newts language of the left as much as I care about Romneys actions of the left. Actions speak louder than words. It sure has cheesed me to hear Becks constant anti Newt slant, and now Rush.

Seems Rush has waited to see which candidate will rise to the top and then tepidly back him so he can say he picked the winner. All the while harping on the GOP establishment where Rush seems to keep a summer cottage.

In a Newtster vs Rush contest, I’ll pick Rush by 100 points.

Give it up, Newt...you had your chance.

Of course, I’ll reluctantly vote for Newt.

I’ll nevah vote for the RINOmneybot.

Newt is not anti business. Newt maybe upset over the attack ads and making a general point that has somehow gone way off course. Rush hurt Newt no doubt today along with Newt himself. Hope Newt can get back on the issues. I am still supporting him and or Rick S. Wouldn’t it be something if the elites got Ron Paul.

Rush has done more damage to Newt than Romney. For the second time Rush has lost me. I’m the kind of fighter that you constantly hit me and eventually I mop the floor with you. Newt is right and those of you that disagree with it apparently you have never been wronged over and over.

I think Larry the Liquidator (Danny DeVito) explained it really well in the movie "Other People's Money."

Well worth the 12 minutes to watch this. I wish Newt Gingrich had seen it before he went down this path.

Newt will sock it to Bammy Boy the same way he is rocking Mittens world. Bain is a very mixed bag and is custom made for the Obama propaganda machine working along with occupy Wall Street. Newt is less definable, much harder for the ObamaBots to demonize. Plus Newt will dish it out...dish it right back to them and then some. Romney is too timid.
