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."

Huh? Romney’s phrase was taken out of context by the press, but at the same time, it’s true that he was sitting there busy dividing us up into “rich” “poor” and “middle,” and making it sound as if economic progress doesn’t benefit all people unless there is special government intervention, and also saying that the welfare system would catch the poor, instead of improving the economy so there would be fewer poor people.
But the main thing is that Romney has a tin ear, and this was what Gingrich was calling attention to. Believe me, this is the first of many blunders you will hear from Romney. He’s not quite as bad as Biden, but he’s going to be saying a lot of things that will give the press an absolute field day.
So you don’t think he was criticizing Romney’s comments?
Why read them?
Newt is right. Romney will never out class warfare Obama.
It was Rick Perry that called Romney a “Vulture Capitalist”.
Put your big boy pants on or go do your nails.

Rita, seems you’re getting tougher as the campaign rolls on. -:) Could have softened it, “bless your hearts”.
Newt read the quote and then pivoted and slapped down class warfare. It was the EXACT think Mark Levin said regarding Romney’s comments. Did you even watch the clip, Brilliant?

I can see by your remarks that you've got the Romney/Gingrich spirit.
As Trump said, it's personal with these two. Doesn't matter who started it, they need to move on. It's turning into a sideshow instead of a campaign.
FR has officially endorsed Newt.
FR does not suffer fools gladly for very long and Romnomoney bots are on a terribly short leash here.
(Hint: Your leash is tightening.)
FR is not hospitable to the faux types who contribute nothing, but smirk at everything Newt.
FR becomes cranky with flame throwers.
Both of them are unworthy of the conservative movement. The only question is who is less unworthy. I don’t know the answer to that question yet. I’m going to vote for whichever of them that wins the nomination, but if they win the election, I expect that I will spend the next 4 years trashing them as liberals. I don’t really want to be associated with the views of either of them. The only thing that can be said to the favor of either of them is that they are head and shoulders better than the Obamunists.
The FR doesn’t tell me who to vote for.
You faux bravehearts are becoming the sideshow, given that you haven’t seen nothin’ yet and you’re already damp.
Nobody here tells ANYBODY who to vote for or how to vote. Some may look at you funny or give you grief for whatever decision you have made but NOBODY here has EVER told ANYONE who to vote for.
Now, if you are bold enough to lead with your chin via a comment you make, you better be prepared to take a shot or two by people who may disagree with you.
My advice to you, if you can't handle the scrutiny of your comments, it is best just to lurk and read (hell, if you keep your mind open, you just might learn something) rather than post and get your feelings and sensibilities hurt.
Oh, and by the way IBTZ!
Now it just looks petty and opportunistic
Romney better get ready for the oncoming deluge of attacks from the Obama machine. They are compiling these soundbites as we speak. If he’s not better prepared than this, he will get shellacked in the election. Thus far, he looks like a fool in some of these interviews. Let’s see how he reacts when he gets accused of killing people, babies, seniors, etc.

The ice I detect is definitly thinning around you, Barney.
“if you can’t handle the scrutiny of your comments”
That obviously ain’t me. If you read all my comments you’ll see I give back a whole lot more than I take.
