Thanks for the informed post. It’s not about defending Romney, it’s about defending capitalism against the wave of ignorant OWS/Obama class warfare.

Newt can claim to be doing a service all he wants, he’s still innoculating the press and Obama, not Romney. I can just hear Anderson Cooper or some other twit saying “Newt Gingrich has criticized your predatory financial dealings, and Rick Perry has called your methods ‘vulture’ capitalism, how can you stand there and claim that government shouldn’t regulate these things when even the most conservative of Republicans is critical of your past dealings?”

Newt is just so darn pathetic. Have never trusted the guy since he backed Dede Scozzafava, a woman who is to the left of most Democratic Party congressmen, and is every bit as far left as Nancy Pelosi is. Oh wait...Newt palled around with Pelosi too..over gloBULL warming no less.
Good ole Newt continues to prove that he has no principles , and would do/say anything(including using Michael Moore-like highly misleading, manipulative interviews and other tactics to attack free enterprise and capitalism) in order to get elected. Say..what happened to his earlier “I won't attack other Republicans” pledge then?

I don't think that Newt Gingrich is trying to do any good for Mr. Romney. I'm sure he's trying to torpedo the Romney campaign. However, his "King of Bain" nonsense is pathetically stupid. I'm hoping that if "King of Bain" becomes a joke, we can make every anti-market attack into a joke just be referring to "King of Bain" advertising. I am worried that the situation will be exactly what you describe.

What Gingrich is trying to explain must be carefully understood:

You can’t justify behavior based soley on the fact that it is done in the name of monetary profit.

The essence of our Constitution is liberty derived from moral truths. Economic freedom, apart from a moral code, is the death of all freedom.
