I’m sure Newt was just acting as their historian.

So now if you are associated with a successful capitalist company or individual you are not fit to be the president of the USA? Obama just won reelection.

Forstmann Little earned billions of dollars in profits from its investments in companies including General Instrument and Gulfstream Aerospace. But the firm shut down most of its operations a decade ago after suffering losses from ill-timed bets on high-flying telecommunications companies at the height of that industrys bubble.Boy have I seen that stuff before.. Come in, make a bunch of claims based on meetings at the top, make a bunch of deals, bail with a golden parachute and screw the rest.

Perry is FOR capitalism, but corporate raiders and who rape Good company’s are hardly good examples of capitalism.
Perry is all about SUSTAINED growth.

"Here is Perrys opportunity to shine." Perry has as much chance of winning the nomination as LSU has of winning the BCS Championship.
The game is over, LSU lost and so has Perry.
His best chance is to play nice and hope for a position in the winners cabinet.
Sucks, but true.

Instead of capitalism, we should be educating folks on the free market system.
Better yet, “Natural markets.”

Ask Newt, he’s the newly minted anti-capitalist rhetorician.

Well, he seems to be polling OK here on FR.
I expect Santorum to fall like a rock in New Hampster.
Perry, will too, but he is not campaigning in NH, He is in SC.

This a horrible can of worms they’ve opened up. As a party, we will rue the day when we allowed this kind of rhetoric to find pass the lips of our candidates. This is Obama’s tune, and it only helps him. I am deeply dismayed by this rhetoric.

Perry won’t finish in the top three in SC. It will be his Alamo.

Me too. They really opened Pandora’s box with the anti-capitalist, class warfare rhetoric. Old Chinese curse comes to mind: “Be careful what you wish for, you might get it.”

Have you found out if Perry qualifies for the SC Debate?
Isn't there some sort of formula that could get him into the debate?
What about VA?
He has/had so much potential
A key role in a new administration can give him time to bounce back nationally and give it a shot in 2016.
I'm hoping my Tigers can bounce back from their loss and win it all next year.
