I love reading Sarah Palin's writings, but I am disappointed she didn't call out Newt for the class warfare he has been launching.

Yes, we know Mitt has money. But it not very conservative of Newt to hold Mitt's financial successes against him. There are plenty of other things to use against Mitt.

Romney claimed to have been a benevolent jobs creator, when in fact he was a job-killing vulture.

Give me a break. Mitt makes it an issue by claiming his Bain Capital work makes him the best candidate for president because he knows how the real economy works. The activity at Bain must be vetted now. How do you expect that to happen or do you want to walk into an October Surprise over Bain's vulture capitalism (and ties to $100m in Medicare fraud) because Newt, the leading anti-Romney, left it alone because capitalism is a sacred cow and Romney's word is good?

Further, did you miss the ABC News piece posted here earlier today that Mitt's "blind trusts" dealing with Swiss and Cayman Island accounts aren't really blind because they're run by his great good friend and personal lawyer, something that will violate federal law should he take office?

Criticism of Romey's claimed chief bona fides for is not "class warfare" except to Romney defenders and those thin skinned about whether ethics should be applied to capitalist pursuits.

Where have you been. Newt did not start this class warfare. It started by Romney in Iowa and it cost Newt the State. Newt was ahead by far with his positive messages in Iowa until that barrage of shi! from leftest Romney. Newt then had to respond and did in SC. He won. They Romney flooded, for at least a month, Florida with lies and pure garbage. The Florida voters apparently believed it and say goodbye to Florida. Get with it.

Semper911-

You posted a similar comment on another thread and folks tried to explain the financial aspects of the Swiss bank account involve serious ethical problems and possibly SEC violations.

The “class warfare/anti-capitalism” meme is a strawman argument. Don't buy into it; the question is Mitt's ETHICS not how much money he has or what his legal tax rate is ...WE DON”T CARE ABOUT THOSE (or anyone elses for that matter) as long as it's legal and ethical. For someone in Mitt's line of work "forgetting" to disclose a $3 MILLION HIDDEN SWISS ACCOUNT is NOT ETHICAL

Pls go back and read that thread; I know it's complex; but, there are some very intelligent FReepers there who put it all in laymen’s terms that even I could understand.
