"You have to ask the question, is capitalism really about the ability of a handful of rich people to manipulate the lives of thousands of people and then walk off with the money?"
"Who said it - Elizabeth Warren? Dennis Kucinich? Noam Chomsky?
Not quite, that was Newt Gingrich talking to reporters at an energy company in Manchester on Monday about his new effort to paint Mitt Romney as a greedy one-percenter who finds "clever legal ways" to go about "looting a company" while screwing over its workers."
Even the Huffington Post is waxing ecstatic over Newt as if he had a Damascus Moment and saw the light about OWS. Writes Huffpo blogger Richard Brodsky (see)
"It seems that Occupy Wall Street has just landed in the middle of the New Hampshire primary, with the same kind of lasting impact it's having everywhere. Apparently leading Republicans are willing to speak publicly about income inequality and the Wall St 1%ers. No longer are Republicans allowed to pretend that the real problem is the shackles we've put on Donald Trump, Enron and Bank of America.
Are you with the 99% or with the 1%? Leave it to the very smart Newt Gingrich to find the hole in the Romney facade and drive a truck through it."
So let me understand this: the man once known as Newt Gingrich is now Noam Warren Kucinich Gingrich, or George Will's Newt the Marxist? No longer is Newt the fiercely patriotic, pro-free enterprise, supply-side, Reaganite leader of the Contract With America Revolution; instead the former House Speaker is an America-hating, anti-Capitalist, defecating, violent, fleabagging Occupier (Speaker for the radical Left) because of criticism (right or wrong) against Romney's corporate raider practices at Bain? Give me a break!
Win or lose the primaries Newt was born with the Conservative Gene; and there's no better, more authentically Conservative candidate in the Republican race right now. America needs a principled, limited government, pro-business Conservative visionary in the White House. A man to fill the shoes, and continue the legacy, of Ronald Reagan with a solid record of Conservative accomplishments. And the principled, visionary, accomplished, Reaganite, pro-business Newt is the man.
UPDATE: ZERO HEDGE COMES OUT AGAINST ROMNEY/BAIN
Tyler Durden writes that the private equity industry, and mega leveraged (Romney) buyouts, have performed disastrously over the years hurting more than helping the US economy and jobs creation. Read about it here .
