Newt Gingrich is a Socialist and his supporters are Socialists.
They do not understand Capitalism.
Let companies run their businesses in the best way they see fit.
It is very revealing the way Newt is dancing around this mess. It is the same way he dances around everything else. He is always either apologizing for everything he did before he was a candidate or he is dancing. It’s like when he said his $1.6 million payoff from Fannie Mae was “free enterprise.”
Newt is a slimy character. Please do not believe anything he says.
Newt and his supporters do not understand capitalism and free enterprise. They are underneath essentially socialists.

It’s a lot of things but it’s NOT capitalism when Vulture Willard goes unpunished for looting taxpayers..some have gone to jail for much less.
BUT why should American taxpayers have to be forced to pay for Willard’s business incompetence and greed?
—
Workers were denied the severance pay and health insurance they’d been promised, and their pension benefits were cut..
What’s more, a FEDERAL GOVERNMENT insurance agency had to PONY UP $44 MILLION TO BAIL OUT the company’s underfunded pension plan.
Nevertheless, Bain profited on the deal, receiving $12 million on its $8 million initial investment and at least $4.5 million in consulting fees.

The Wall Street Journal analysis is ALSO devastating for Willard the Vulture/Lib at Bain.. (Google it)
Adding insult to injury, Bain would hide its profits in tax havens, not even paying the rate it was supposed to on the profits it made laying off workers.
Let’s see how the taxpayers feel about bailing out these companies’ pension funds and receiving no tax money back from Bain. Let’s let the people decide what they think of bailing out Romney.
Bottom line again: Why should American taxpayers have to be forced to pay for Willard’s business incompetence and greed?
The democrats would use this against Romney IF he gets the nomination whether it has been raised as an issue by his Republican primary opponets or not. As Romney himself would say “if you can’t stand the heat” Where was all the outrage when the anti-Newt ads containing lies were being spread by the Romney PAC and Romney maintained after being challenged to stop the lies he lied by saying it was illegal for him to make a public statement to those who were doing it to stop, the fcc said he had the freedom of speech to do this and he choose to ignore that. He must think we’re all idiots.
Maybe the Euro-minded “right wing” but not conservatives.
Add Bain to list of things we cannot discuss

My oh my! Looks like a negative ad or two with a little resemblance to what Obama will be coming out with daily next fall and Willard’s proxies get a massive wedgy and go into whiny hysterics. Shine a light on Bain and Romney and the screams of despair are heard everywhere.
On the Ace of Shades HQ site he says he’s worried this may make Romney “unelectable”. He has always been UNELECTABLE! No one has to make him that. The only reason anyone thinks he is electable is that the constant droning of the “he’s electable” mantra by the media and elites has placed the message in some empty heads.
sigh...how well the press and the GOP establishment is playing conservatives with this issue.
It stinks of desperation, attempting to attack Romney by way of the Occupy Wallstreet “we are the 99%” rhetoric. The one thing ROmney is pretty solid on is the economy, hence they are attacking a castle on its most fortified side. Christ, immigration, abortion, gay marriage, healthcare, global warming... All these glaring weaknesses in the Romney candidacy, and these cretins chose to attack Romney on the economy.
Pathetic.
The democrats would use this against Romney IF he gets the nomination whether it has been raised as an issue by his Republican primary opponets or not. As Romney himself would say “if you can’t stand the heat” Where was all the outrage when the anti-Newt ads containing lies were being spread by the Romney PAC and Romney maintained after being challenged to stop the lies he lied by saying it was illegal for him to make a public statement to those who were doing it to stop, the fcc said he had the freedom of speech to do this and he choose to ignore that.

However, when he decides to run for President, his business activity will be assessed in a different light. Is this the way we would want our President to conduct the affairs of this Country?
We have a perfect example handed to us by Romney himself today: Obama and GM. Obama wrecked lives and GM in the same fashion that Romney did to a target company. They both laid off thousands. Both defaulted on debt to pension funds that counted on those funds to pay their pensioners and defaulted on obligations to trade creditors, providing the credits that facilitated the cash extraction. Both relied on government subsidies and grants, from you and me. Obama extracted political capital from his actions; Romney extracted cash for himself through fees and 'profit'. Both Obama and Romney walked away from the respective corpses (GM will die eventually). Neither Obama nor Romney were free enterprisers. Romney is the Volt of capitalism.

I have found more free enterprisers here, those with small businesses, supporting Newts comments than defending Romney's behavior. The Romney defenders here sound like stock brokers running a few million on the side and talking like they are God's gift to capitalism, i.e. they probably do what Romney did: shuffle paper.
What Newt Gingrich & Rick Perry did to smear Mitt Romney is unforgivable!!! They both should be thrown out of the Republican Party. I heard Rush Limbaugh today, and.....El Rushbo was right on target, even though, both he and I am not great fans of Mitt Romney.
I have supported both Gingrich and Perry through the years and voted for Perry in his governor races here in Texas. But, never again!!! It’s a free country, so......any Freeper or citizen can vote as they choose, but IMHO, I truly believe that both Gingrich & Perry have gone over to the dark side, and...as such, deserve no votes from any Republican, Conservative or Freeper.
I stand with Rush Limbaugh, 100%. We and millions of other American voters of all political stripes will do all that is within the law to see that Barack Hussein Obama is defeated and the Democrat Party destroyed politically in 2012!!! And.....I really do not care who our nominee is, as long as he is not Barack Hussein “Muslim Brotherhood”, “Hate America” Obama!!! Mitt Romney will do just fine for me, and....it seems that Mr. Limbaugh is of one and the same mind!!!
Citizens of South Carolina, cast not one vote for either Newt Gingrich or Rick Perry, not because of their abilities to lead, but because what they have done is not now, nor ever, tolerable in the Republican Party!!! They have both jumped the shark big time!!! They should have engaged their brains, before they opened their mouths. These are grown men, or are they??? Neither would make a good POTUS, that has become quite obvious!!!
Sad that it took attacks from people who, despite their flaws are still unquestionably far to the right of Romney to make Mittens appear conservative.
“Conservatives are savaging Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry for their attacks on Mitt Romney’s years at the private-equity firm Bain Capital. “
No, they are running cover for him, while trying not to look like they are supporting him.
Did Willard cry????? Willard told cbs that what he did was the same as what Obama did with the auto bailout...hmmmmmm
There's no law against some business practices. They may even benefit the country in the long run. But people want to feel that the President is above such behavior.
Newt is probably very familiar with the argument himself by now: there are no laws against adultery, and there are laws allowing divorce and remarriage, but a lot of people have trouble voting for someone who made use of those freedoms.
Two questions:
1) How much of Bain's activities were of the sort that many people disapprove of and how much involved activities that we would all approve of (taking a company on the ropes and bringing it back to profitability without causing undue hardship)?
2) Assuming Romney's the nominee does Newt do him a favor putting the attack out there now, so that it's old news later? Or does he simply strengthen the Democrats case against Mitt in the fall? Or doesn't it matter one way or the other, Democrats doing what they always do and Mitt being vulnerable on this whatever he does?
Too bad the right wing establishment doesnt RIP Mitt on Romneycare!!!!!!!!!!!!!! socialized medicine. How did he get a pass on that one? will you ask Rove? Coulter?
I’ve been a strong Gingrich supporter for months now, but honestly this line of attacks crossed the line. If there was anywhere else to go, my support would drift.
I’m probably going to stick with Newt solely because there’s nowhere else to go. Perry is doing the same junk (and has worse poll numbers), Huntsman and Romney are way too socially liberal for me, Santorum is way too fiscally liberal for me, and Paul is way too liberal on foreign policy for me.
And, yes, Santorum people, Santorum IS fiscally liberal. I wouldn’t give Rudy G. a pass on abortion and gay marriage because he represented NYC and that’s “normal” in that hellhole, and I’m not going to give Santorum a pass on union cuddling because he represented PA and that’s the norm there. Union thuggery is a big reason why we’re mired in an economic downturn, and RS’s leftist positions on labor are flat-out unacceptable to me.
Frustrated and a little sad.
Wow, when Rush joins the choir singing the mittens coronation song, I’m done. I WILL not vote for Mittens under any circumstances.
I am very disheartened at these so-called non-mainstream conservatives paving the way for a complete j@ck@ss like Mittens.
If mittens is annointed by rove and friends. I’m staying home. I guess I can put my baseball cap on backwards and play Call of Duty.
