“Newt’s attack on vulture capitalism eliminates him as a conservative.”
I do not consider “vulture capitalism” conservative. Capitalism is about creating and building wealth, not tearing it down, looting a business and screwing over workers.
As for taking a meat axe to the Federal Govt., that I agree with, but R.Paul isn’t a conservative - he is a libertarian parading around as a Republican. We have $15Trillion in debt; the next President will have no choice but to face that head on, so I find your argument about Congressman Paul being the only candidate to promise that specious. It is a subject best left for figuratively beating Obama over the head.
Vulture capitalism is the language of the left wing populists. In free enterprise it does not exist. As for screwing over the workers, if the company is in trouble, they may be overpaid, and whtn who is screwing whom?
What other candidate is promising to take a meat axe to the government? If we don’t the so-cqlled conservatives can bluster all they want about a nuclear Iran and helping Israel, but we won’t be able to afford it. So, I’m not conceding the label of conservative to any of the sorry lot.
