>>He needs to bow out and endorse a pro-capitalist candidate like Santorum.

Why would Newt endorse a pro-capitalist now? He has spent the last week telling us how Romney is an evil capitalist? Sounded more like Newt was going to throw his support behind Obama...

It is really blowing my mind how so many people don't understand the difference between true capitalism and CRONY CAPITALISM! The American people (left and right) are SICK of the power brokers in the country, and all around the world, gaming the system to cement their power base and get whatever they can get, and it doesn't matter if they take us down while they are at it. What has been happening the last 50 years, at least, with our financial institutions, our “investment” class (derivatives, CDO’s, subprime loans, etc) is NOT capitalism.
Newt was on MSNBC yesterday with Scarborough and he gave a VERY good explanation why he is going after Romney on Bain. Romney should be vetted NOW about Bain, because I guarantee you that the media and the Democrats are going to hit him HARD about it. And what they bring out is going to be a lot worse than what we have heard so far.

He has spent the last week telling us how Romney is an evil capitalist?

So you think there's no such thing as an "evil capitalist"? All capitalists are just perfectly saintly? Sounds like some commentators who apparently have a weak sense of right and wrong as long as money is being made.

Well, what Romney did was perfectly legal, you say? So is the "insider trading" done by Congress on information they receive because of their positions. Positive law at best is only an approximation of natural law; at worst, it bears no relation to it.

I think the point Newt is grasping toward is more like Codevilla's conflict between the Ruling Class and the Country Class -- Mitt is just as much as Ruling Class type as Obama, with as little concern for personal freedom.

I don't understand why none of the Republican candidates have shared at all Ron Paul's views on personal freedom, which I think resonate with a lot of people, and should resonate with conservatives.
