A masterful speech by Newt...he takes it to Obama.
"We are one nation under God...not one nation WITHOUT God".
“Lawrence Kudlow at NRO quotes Romney at the debate Thursday night:
You’ve got to stop the spread of crony capitalism. [Obama] gives General Motors to the UAW. He takes $500 million and sticks it into Solyndra. He stacks the labor stooges on the NLRB so they can say no to Boeing and take care of their friends in the labor movement.... He has to bow to the most extreme members of the environmental movement. He turns down the Keystone pipeline, which would bring energy and jobs to America.
My view is capitalism works. Free enterprise works.... There’s nothing wrong with profit, by the way. That profit went to pension funds, to charities. It went to a wide array of institutions.... And by the way, as enterprises become more profitable, they can hire more people. I’m someone who believes in free enterprise. I think Adam Smith was right. And I’m gonna stand and defend capitalism across this country, throughout this campaign. I know we’re going to get hit hard from President Obama, but we’re gonna stuff it down his throat and point out that it is capitalism and freedom that makes America strong.
Kudlow continues:
... Governor Romney capped his strong performance with a Reaganesque summation. As he has in the past, he criticized Obama for trying to “transform” America from a merit society—an opportunity society where people are free to choose—to a European-style entitlement society. Romney said, “We need to restore the values that made America the hope of the Earth. . . . [President Obama] has made it almost impossible for our private sector to reboot. . . . I will defeat Barack Obama and keep America as it’s always been, the shining [city] on a hill.”
Meanwhile, as Gingrich has shockingly adopted left-wing rhetoric, charging (as Kudlow paraphrases Gingrich’s attack) that “Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital was involved in nothing more than vulture capitalism, looting companies, and destroying jobs. Keeping class envy alive.”
Clearly Romney is a better man than Gingrich, both politically and personally. But as I’ve said in another entry today, I don’t want Romney to win the race after only three primaries.
The Kudlow article was sent by Madeline Brooks, with this comment:
I agree with what Kudlow said on his radio show this morning. He can’t forgive the attack Gingrich made on free markets with his slam of Bain Capital. Gingrich’s attack was not about details of the Bain operation, which would be legitimate if genuine wrongdoing existed. If Romney was involved in crony capitalism, as some of the commenters to this article allege, then let those details be made known. Otherwise, Gingrich’s left wing attack was just stupid and good evidence of his own lack of conservative principles.
Ironic, though, that Republicans expose everything about each other and the media makes a fuss about all of it, while yawning about Obama’s countless outrages. Gingrich got a huge bounce from protesting media bias. Can he do anything else, something that shows both conservative principles and consistency with them?”
Watch and learn.
This video is from last November.
You’re so right, My Friend. No one understands this better. NO one. I even say that Reagan didn’t either, although Newt learned from Reagan.
Kudlow is a chump. He spends more time making excuses with half baked lines of reasoning than he does simply going over the ground. Lots of double standard establishment reasoning with little or no original thought.
and have the primary over with none of the people who ran this time participating in the race. I'm not happy with any of them.
Prove it.
Who is your candidate?
Not just articulation, after all , Bama snowed many uninformed voters with his eloquence and LIES. Newt is telling the right message with truths , hard ones for many Americans.
Would like to see more of Newt.
Right under the video it says that it was uploaded to Youtube in Nov.
Has anyone noticed that Newt almost 95% of time, (and virtually 100% of the time before Romney and the others went negative on him), goes after Obama at his town hall meetings, interview etc, AND Romney and Santorum 95% of hitting on Newt? Paul goes after Obama also.
It’s getting tiring. Romney on right now says he would be surprised if the people of SC go for a “Washington Insider” like Newt.
Well guess what, Romney. We need someone who was on the inside during the Reagan years, and not ashamed about it, AS YOU WERE!!!!!

Little rommey pimper?
It was Bachmann.
I’m a little surprised how little support she got here. She was the only true conservative in the race.
What ever Republican seriously repeals Obamacare. I will vote for.
LOL, Not quite sure an endorsement by Gen. Grant is going to earn a lot of votes in SC.
