Whatever his weaknesses (and they are legion, IMHO) attacking Romney because he’s a capitalist doesn’t speak well of his opponents.

I want all his cards on the table now. You think Obama isn't going to bring it all out?

Better now than later...and I think it doesn't speak well of Romney if he's hiding something...IF? LOL!

In the end, Newt always self destructs.

For now. Just wait til the Dems get a hold of this and our clueless electorate tunes in. This line of attack is hardly over.

Yeah, but it might not work...the country's in a "firing" mood.

Newt should have gone about it another way, but then, those who are so outraged over the Bain ad support TARP AND ROMNEYCARE (anti-capitalism) so their outrage is blatantly hypocritical. In addition, I have noticed Fox news bashing Gingrich almost every 15 mins. Fox even used the nonpartisan tax center to bash his tax plan and THEY ARE LIBERALS. People who do not bother to look this center up would swallow the hogwash Fox is dishing out but I have learned not to trust what they are feeding us right now. They are definitely trying to ensure Romney gets the win. I am surprised Gingrich is still on the radar after the Ron Paul ads, the Romney ads and Fox news calling him a cry baby, crazy, having road rage, and other unprofessional comments all day long day after day.

You are right of course. The 'rat hate machine will be raring to go at Romney for stealing bread from the mouths of starving chirren. They don't need any help from Newt, they have been planning on this for a couple years. Anyone who thinks this issue won't fly come general election time, sit back and prepare to take a lesson.

The only ray of hope I see is the apparent fact that Romney's SuperPac is composed of angry piranha fish and sharks and barracudas. If they do to obama what they did to Newt, then Obama will be history.

Opinion among S.C. Republicans is not as this writer claims. The Rasmussen poll doesn’t support his conclusion. Any damage to Newt from his ad has been created by negative spin from the Romney-supporting media, not by the self-anointed heroes of capitalism on FR and elsewhere. The Newt-bashing may well win the day, but on media bias, not on principle. The media would have found a way to trash anyone threatening to defeat Romney, whether on this issue or others. Newt is a fighter, so there is always a danger that the public will sympathize with his quarry. I don’t think that we would have it any other way, however; most of us, that is.

You and the rest who think the attacks on Romney's Bain record were "attacks on capitalism" are fools or in the tank for him.

Finally someone on here with common sense. It was the stupidest attack. To me it showed Newt or Perry either thinks like a leftist or has some people working for him to attack in this manner. OR he wanted to help Romney. I am now supporting Romney only by default. Newt is no more for me, nor anyone else. He should have attacked Romney on Romney Care, Abortion, or issues. Not this stupid leftist attack. Too late for anything else. Romney will win and due to fact that I am ABO anybody but obama I have to support him. I am sure will be attacked by all the the blind people who hate Romney more then Obama. Scary

Just heard the democratic governor of Maryland almost start salivating when he was asked how the general election will go if Willard is the nominee. His comments were something like this:

- Romney was a disaster as governor of Mass. His state placed 47th in job creation. Romney bankrupted the state. He was total failure.

- Romney’s time at Bain was a disaster. He was not a jobs creator, he was a jobs destroyer. This myth about him being great job creator is a joke.

- President Obama looks forward to the challege from
Governor Romney if he’s the nominee.

So like I have said before, Obama will destroy Willard the
liberal in a general election. Unless republicans want to see four more years of Obama, they had better hope this fake and fraud weasel is not the nominee. John McCain redux.

“He should have attacked Romney on Romney Care, Abortion, or issues”

These type of ads all over the airways.

won't vote for McRomney under any circumstance! America cannot survive another RINO progressive in the WH.

McRomney and his supporters might just as well support Obumbum, they both support the very same kind of government in the United States!

So, how many homeless and broke people in MA have been forced to pay health insurance?

And, how many of them left the state?

I'd imagine you don't know, but let me suggest this ~ when they begin enforcing the Individual Mandate at the national level, where you gonna' go?

Obama won’t do a thing. The man is a fraud. However, the Democrat professional propagandists will do the job Obama can’t.

Romney broke the state of Massachusetts on Romeneycare.

He is not fiscally astute.

We don’t want him.

Unfortunately, the rest of the GOP field took their eyes OFF the ball by focusing on Bain Capital instead of Romneycare.

Yesterday’s debate did not even focus on Romneycare.

The end result -— A Romney nomination :(

True. But if it’s Romney or Obama, sadly, just two sides of the same coin.
