The bizarre thing was that Gingrich was defending capitalism as a productive economic system, but questioning Romney’s version of his business background. Romney was not in a productive business, the foundation of capitalism, but in a speculative financial business, which has its essential place but is a lot different from building a productive business

Which is kind of hilarious because Eric Bolling just did that gas price special with Palin on FOX where his plan to bring down gas prices was to regulate speculation, make it more difficult and expensive for the financial people to speculate on oil contracts. Yet he was one of the guys claiming he was a rock-ribbed conservative who couldn't stand Newt's criticisms of "capitalism." Ah, but, in the course of the special, Bolling admitted that his suggestion would make it easier for the BIG Wall Street firms like Goldman Sachs to speculate on oil contracts, and only block out the smaller firms. Just more evidence that the Republican party elites and their media arms FOX News, Drudge, Coulter, most of RINO radio, are solidly in the back pockets of big Wall Street money from the likes of Goldman Sachs. It's only "attacking capitalism" if it hurts the deepest pockets on Wall Street. If it hurts the smaller businesses, it's just smart regulation.
