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.

Great response from Newt. Thanks for that.

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?

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.

Newt is right. Romney will never out class warfare Obama.

The poor care about their guns and their Bibles. THAT’S why Romney doesn’t care about them. The RINO cocktail suite only cares about their money and couldn’t care less if Romney is for an assault weapons ban or isn’t against moral values.

Calm down and grow up folks.

First, all is fair in love, war and politics.

Second, of course Romney didn’t say this when you consider the full context. We here at FR aren’t supposed to fall for that crap.

Third, but yes, in political campaigns comments made even in context like the one Romney made is going to create fodder for the stupid pundits. And Mitt should understand that simply by the fact he ran a gazillion ads against Newt for the SAME KIND OF COMMENTS over the years. He’s either stupid or so over-staffed he has no idea what is going on. Not good news either way.

Fourth, would everyone quit getting their panties in a wad everytime one GOP candidate attacks another? To actually think they are “giving Obama weapons”, in my opinion, means you are clueless. Obama’s weapon chest is so full they can’t fit in anything else. Nothing Newt says about Romney or vice versa isn’t anything the Obama folks haven’t already honed for attack.

You’d think presidential campaigns just started 12 years ago.

The poor are already well protected in terms of charities, govt handouts and food stamps.

What they need is motivation and self help to get out of poverty by finding a job, they dont need more care from politicians.

Gingrich as usual is sounding like a shrill leftie progressive politician, no wonder he is so inconsistent.

Either Romney was given this article beforehand or he somehow understands the “MIDDLE CLASS IMPLOSION” potential problem (because of his background).
