Newt Gingrich on Wednesday ripped GOP front-runner Mitt Romney for comments he made about not caring about the poor. Gingrich went on to say he's "fed up with politicians in either party dividing Americans against each other."

Bain’s Romney: “We will hear from the Democrat party the plight of the poor–you can focus on the very poor, that’s not my focus.”

Overwhelmed by Fla, the “presumptive nominee” just couldn’t wait to tip his hand as to how he intends to tank the election.

Gingrich is acting like a troll.

Agreed. I'm a little tired of these guys and their little vendettas. Neither of them can pass up the chance to jab the other on. Too much at stake for this crap, grow up guys.

I hate Romney, but this is an absolutely ridiculous line of attack to use against him.

Newt should be embarrassed for taking up the MSNBC talking points. Who's writing his stuff, Maddow?

I voted for Gingrich yesterday, but now I’m wishing I had not.

Agreed. He has sounded like a lefty throughout the primaries. They both make me ill. As does Obama.

Romney really stepped in it this time. Combine this comment with his “I love to fire people” comment and you get someone who is extremely out of touch.

I have to agree with you.....both of 'em are acting like childish a**holes, and in the betwixt, Zero is sitting in the Oval Orifice laughing his ass off - given the fact that these two idiots are filling his ammo locker.

Screw Romney and screw Gingrich...two overly-charged egoists.

what are you talking about!?

Romney said he doesn’t care about poor people.

Gingrich cares about everyone and wants everyone to suceed not just live a life of dependency in Romney “safety net with holes”

Oh come on. Those are taken out of context and you are passing along a lefty talking point. Support whomever but please do it honestly. As I stated above I dislike Romney, Gringrinch and Obama. But the Republicians are handing this thing too Obama by their stupidity.

Here is the Gingrich attack on Romney:

1) He’s a “vulture” capitalist.

2) He’s rich.

3) He doesn’t pay enough in taxes.

4) He is insensitive to illegal immigrants.

5) He doesn’t care about poor people.

Not sure which party’s primary he’s running in. I voted for him because I wanted to send Romney a message that I think he’s too far to the left. But now I’m thinking Gingrich may be even further to the left.

Newt just denounced class warfare in that 2 minute video. Are you completely insane?

Apparently you don’t comprehend what Newt actually said. He explicitly said that dividing Americans upon class lines of ANY kind—poor, rich, whatever—shouldn’t happen.

Put your big boy pants on or go do your nails.

No one becomes president until he he proves he will answer back to character assassination with the same or greater degree of magnitude of which it was thrown. It was a tsunami in Florida.

Newt didn’t start this. You will find that a pristine primary is fit for some other universe, one to which we have not yet attained.

Get a grip, or get a girdle.

Think some Romney folks do protest too much.

I’ve NEVER heard any conservative or Pub EVER say anything as grotesquely idiotic as ‘let the Democrats focus on the poor’.
