Romney attacked Newt for his firm taking money advising Fannie and Freddie - a perfectly legal act of Capitalism. He demanded Newt give the money back. Mitt did this while he himself was actually making MORE money than Newt off of Freddie and Fannie.

It was only when people like Newt started to question Mitt’s saddling the taxpayers with broken pensions, unemployment checks, and bailouts that his campaign came-up with the idea that questioning someone’s private business practices was “anti-Captilism.” Mitt made more from Fannie and Freddie than Newt, and Mitt left WE THE TAXPAYER with the bill from his corporate pillaging practices. It’s not like he just took private sector money and ran - the TAXPAYER paid dearly for what he did, and he pocketed OUR money.

Mitt started the anti-Capitalist rants, not Newt. I’ve never heard Mitt apologize for saying Newt should pay back money he earned legally as a consultant.

Besides, a quick search will find videos of Mitt given anti-everything-Conservative rants, from Life Issues, to Gun Rights, and so on. Just search, you’ll see. Of course, we’re on Mitt Romney 7.0 these days.......

I don’t consider lobbying capitalism. If the government were what it should be lobbying wouldn’t pay a nickle. Try again. And taxpayers pay for all kinds of stuff we shouldn’t be paying for. That it is Congress fault.
