Club for Growth Blasts Gingrich for Bain Attacks
National Review Online ^ | January 9, 2012 | Patrick Brennan

Posted on 01/09/2012 10:01:52 PM PST by Saundra Duffy

In a press release this afternoon, Club for Growth criticized Newt Gingrich for his attacks on Mitt Romney’s career at Bain Capital, calling them unbecoming a “Reagan Conservative.” Club for Growth’s statement:

Yesterday, Gingrich said “Those of us who believe in free markets and those of us who believe that in fact the whole goal of investment is entrepreneurship and job creation…we find it pretty hard to justify rich people figuring out clever legal ways to loot a company, leaving behind 1,700 families without a job.” Gingrich’s attack was echoed that same day that by the Democratic National Committee, which also attacked Romney for his job creation record at Bain Capital.

“Newt Gingrich’s attacks on Mitt Romney’s record at Bain Capital are disgusting,” said Club for Growth President Chris Chocola. “There are a number of issues for Mitt Romney’s Republican opponents to attack him for, but attacking him for making investments in companies to create a profit for his investors is just wrong. Because of the efforts of Bain Capital, major companies like Staples, Domino’s Pizza, and the Sports Authority now employ thousands of people and have created billions in wealth in the private economy. Attacking Governor Romney for participating in free-market capitalism is just beyond the pale for any purported ‘Reagan Conservative.’ Newt Gingrich should stop his attacks on free markets and apologize to Governor Romney for them.”

Sickoflibs may be a bit deranged (my pet name for him), but he is no Romney supporter.

You are a supporter of Romney...you sit on the couch of Romney and defend Romney.

That is a FACT.

I am calling BS on that. Show posts where SOL has ever supported Romney.

RE :”Sickoflibs may be a bit deranged (my pet name for him), but he is no Romney supporter

Thanks, I think :)
After calling me a Romney-bot 10 times rbm fessed up and posted that he knew all along I was no Romney-bot. I told him that it was our little secret. But I hate to let him down, try this:

Look, Romney is the only one that can beat Obama. He has the business experience to liquidate bankrupt organizations like the USA, he made Obama-care, err Romney-care, work; he can get independents and liberals support. If Obama gets elected we all die. I know he's not perfect but he's better than Obama who will kill us all after he forces us to have abortions and teaches our kids to be gay, that is worse than Romney. We can work on Romney after he gets elected. We will have MORE control then,
Romney-Newt 2012

Convinced ?

Some would like to see Romney attack the federal government the way he economized companies during his time with Bain Capital.

He did bupkis while he was Massachusetts Governor, so why would he do it as POTUS?

Thanks. Good news. Newt needs to get back to being the happy warrior and back on message. Let the super pac and Perry do the heavy lifting.

So many people just buying into Romney's electability with out even looking at his true record to see whether he really was any good as a job creator. Judging by the outrage at Newt and now Perry, his record must not be good enough to with stand any scrutiny.

If his record is exposed, to all the people in S. Carolina, I don't think Romney will win.

“Good luck. Sandy is a Romney supporter. I suspect it has much to do with the fact they are both Mormon, since her past conservative behavior is directly contrary to Mitt’s policies.”

I posted mostly for the benefit of other Freepers anyway. Just feel obligated to post the rest of the story in the interest of balance.LOL

“Evidence you have NOT seen?”

LOL at me. I’ve not been on the internet so much lately to see exactly who destroyed Cain.

If you have links, I would certainly appreciate them

I thought, as many did, that Obama didn’t want another black man...a Conservative black man...standing next to him, and debating him.

I guess that’s why he’s so popular there. Go figure.

I agree, the Bain attacks are lame & wrongheaded.

Sandy; how would you describe the ATTACKS in #157?

Lame & wrongheaded or Right on target?

I haven't either.

There were ACCUSATIONS that seemly had weight behind them so Cain bowed out rather than fight.

Would an "I didn't have sex with that woman" been believed?

RE :";)"

I wasnt taking his accusions the least bit seriously. He was on the side of a losing issue, defending Newt (aka noot LOL) for using leftist talking points.

I don't see how Newt using those lib arguments helps himself, and it might even help Romney. Rush even pointed that out.

Sandy, all other things being equal...with Romney’s history, policies and views, if he were not LDS would you still be supporting him?

>> I’d say that this rather clearly reveals Newt supporters as Anti-Capitalist/Communist/Statists.

Too bad you lost your mind before coming to terms with the Capitalism rhetoric in question.

Explain how Romney and Obama differ in terms of putting struggling operations out of business? Oh... you can’t, you imploded... Well, Romney claims he’s just like Obama in that sense.

“Bain is an albatross for Mittens”

What isn’t? It seems to boil down to a pitch that he must be a ‘good man’ because ‘he don’t drink nor smoke nor chew, and he don’t kiss the girls who do’. The same could have been said of Himmler, who was a similar cold blooded moral void.
