I don’t think the discussion should be about Ethical Capitalism at all. In reality Romney took a low, but highly effective shot at Newt with his allegatiion about Newt making 1.6 million lobbying for Fannie Mae.
Romney follwed up in interviews with the “If you can’t take the heat...” bromide.
Newt decided NOT to lay down. Now Mitt is taking the heat and all of a sudden the conversation is how we Conservatives are disparaging Capitalism...B@$$&*#t!
Mitt is showing himself almost as low as Paul.
The only problem with your assessment is that the ads against Newt were true. The same cannot be said about the anti-Bain video.
