"I think when you have crony capitalism of politicians taking care of their friends, that's not free enterprise, that's just backdoor socialism in which the rich get all the money and the rest of us get left, get left with all the debt,"

Again, for such a bright guy, there's the problem, using Rat, Marxist, OWS talking point words.

Newt is smart enough to have said: "I think when you have the Fascism of politicians taking care of their friends, that's not free enterprise, that's just backdoor socialism in which government selected insiders get all the money and the rest of us get left, get left with all the debt,"

More accurately identifying the problem, and not trashing all "capitalists" and "rich". Few average citizens understand that "crony capitalism" is not capitalism at all.

Interestingly, Newt can be classified as "capitalist", "rich", an "insider" and a "crony capitalist" (FM consulting). He could not, on the other hand, be successfully classified as Fascist, excluding himself from a properly worded comment.

“Again, for such a bright guy, there’s the problem, using Rat, Marxist, OWS talking point words.”

Bain Captial and Mittt Romney are crony captialist. That’s not leftist talking points, that’s the truth.

“Newt is smart enough to have said: “I think when you have the Fascism of politicians taking care of their friends, that’s not free enterprise, that’s just backdoor socialism in which government selected insiders get all the money and the rest of us get left, get left with all the debt,”

I think u under estimate the Amerian people. They know fairness and honesty when they see it. They know corrupt, crony captialism when they see it, they know what it is.

Interestingly, Newt can be classified as “capitalist”, “rich”, an “insider” and a “crony capitalist” (FM consulting).

Most Americans are captialist, esp if they have a 401K plan. That doesn’t make them a crony captialist any more than it does Newt. As for Newt being rich, that may be true. Most Americans could care less. Its not folks getting rich that bothers them, its crony captialist like Bain Capital and Mitt Romney buying and using gov. officals for special favors and handouts. Thats what bothers them.

Look at the last stimulus package. Who was at the gov. trough slurping up money as fast as their gov. buddies would put it in there. IT WAS THE CAPTIALIST. They, the captialist, and the gov. stole trillions from the American taxpayers and sent them the bill. And you wonder why they hate crony captialist like Bain Capital and Mitt Romney.

Funny S Palin is the one who initially raised the issue of crony capitalism. The difference of course is the role of the government in guaranteeing profits for the company and using taxpayer $$$ to cover losses.

How is Romney going to raise Solyndra as an issue with Obozo????????????
