Newt resorts to more leftist attacks

Not long ago, Newt gave an interview on Univision and reverted back to his anti-capitalist, leftist line of attacks on Mitt Romney during the segment. It shouldn’t be surprising coming from Newt, who has been readily exposed as a big government progressive Republican – and he’s probably feeling a little heat after the latest polling shows Romney has regained the lead in Florida. … Glenn reacted to the attack on radio today. Check it out in the clip above.

    Newts true character has come out for all to see; watch and listen to his own words and then make your own minds up.

  • jen

    Again, Beck follows MSM and goes ballistic on anyone who is not a elite or for elites and their agenda.  Charles Krauthammer even said on the Bill O’Reilly show that Romney lied when he kept saying that “newt resigned in disgrace”, and the truth is that “newt resigned in defeat” and I think everyone has a “defeat” versus a “disgrace” at some point in their careers.

    Beck is so happy at Romney picking up a bit – he is thinking screw those tea partiers that want to overthrow washington and new york elites.

    Krauthammer didn’t say that Romney lied, Newt did resign because his fellow republicans weren’t going to support him and wanted him out as speaker. Again, the word elites is thrown about—-do you not know that it was the elites that penned the greatest documents in the world, the Constitution  and the Bill of Rights, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Franklin, Madison, all of them were elites, they were wealthy, they formed the best government in the world.

    Newt lies a lot, said things he thinks the audience wants to hear, I have wondered about his mental health, he has said and done things that are strange, he also has self-grandeur.

    People who support Mitt must stop looking at WHAT’S BEST FOR
    AMERICA TOMORROW BUT WHAT’S BEST FOR AMERICA IN THE FUTURE!
    Why doesn’t Newt or Santorum go after Mitt on the Judges & SAN? Mitt always
    talks about what he got done as Governor with Democrats at the State level. But
    look at what Newt got done with the Democrats at the Federal level… the State
    level is like high school football & the Federal level is like Pro football.
    The Federal level is all cut throat which is why the Democrats want Mitt to win.
    The Democrats think even if Obama would lose to a Moderate Mitt, they can still
    get a lot of their socialism programs done. Mitt is a P.C. guy. He might win
    some battles. If Mitt is anything like Bush? In 4 or 8 more years we could be
    back to another Obama!!!
    But they know that Newt is more Conservative… he calls a Spade a Spade & Newt can
    not only win battles but he can win the War!!! If elected President, Newt should
    tell the Public that he won’t be like Obama… negotiations WILL be on C-Span so
    people can see the Truth. I believe Newt won’t be like Bush. Newt will keep the
    American Public informed.
    Mitt is the only one that said he was mixed on appointing Constitutional Judges reported
    by the survey by FRC.
    Judges will be the most important thing for our Countries Future. Mitt
    could appoint a liberal judge to the courts. If it happens to the Supreme Court
    our Country & Freedom will be lost for along time or maybe forever.
    Mitt is the only one that hasn’t signed on to SAN (Strong America Now).
    This program will cut $500 Billion a year without cutting any programs or
    raising taxes.

    Here is the way I look at it. Either Newt or Mitt will serve us a lot better than Obama. Either of them can get elected…If we discontinue doing what Glenn is doing and that is castrating Newt and Mitt. We need to be supporting both of these guys. not giving the democrats ammunition against the only two white hopes we have in defeating Obama. If we continue on the path we are going of slinging dirt on our two candidates we will end up with Obama again. That is a fact.

    The more ‘establishment’ Republicans, that speak out against Newt, the more we know how much Newt is NOT…I Repeat Not, A Washington INSIDER.
    Check it out….Bob Dole, Nancy Pelosi….Ann Coulter of late.  And what does that say about Mitt?  Hmmm or you Glenn….what is up with you?

  • Eugene humbert

    From what I’ve seen,  Beck despises Romney.  He is for the most conservative who can actually be elected.  If Paul wasn’t so whako on foreign policy, he’d probably support him.  Unfortunately, Paul is unelectable because of that stance.  Santorum is more conservative than the other two, but is probably unelectable also.  That leaves either Mitt or Newt.  I’d rather vote for an old reliable baseball glove than an irrational lizard.

    That is so not true, Newt is a washington gov. person. Because people that worked with him don’t like him doesn’t mean that he wasn’t/isn’t an insider.

    Too many people don’t like Newt, how many of his fellow republicans wanted him out as speaker?  If it is a few people, then of course that is different—Newt caused a lot of trouble and he compares himself to DeGaulle, Reagan, Washington, Lincoln, I mean this bird has some serious problems.

    Let’s see, how can I put it in words even idiots can understand. Oh, that’s right, you’re not idiots, you’re only dishonest. I’m 61 years old. I have followed Mr. Gingrich’s career. He is a conservative. His attacks against Romney are not from the left, they are from a person seeking clarification of the character of another person who evidences sociopathic behavior, Mr. Mitt Romney. Mr. Romney started the negative campaigning. He and his shills, who are legion, have relentlessly foisted false and misleading information through the debates, attack commercials, and the written media. The more I hear from Mr. Romney, the more I grow to detest him. I certainly wouldn’t buy a used car from him. I well understand the maxim, “caveat emptor”, particularly when dealing with persons exhibiting the character traits of Mr. Romney. This election has proven instructive. Mr. Romney has a huge crowd of fellow-travelers who I had thought, heretofore, were conservative and, more importantly, honest. My pantheon of trustworthy conservative voices has been decimated. I have cancelled my subscriptions to GBTV and American Spectator.  If we are reduced to eating our own, America is already lost. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

    Why isn’t Beck exposing all of Romneys flopping around such as on abortion and his  income made in the loan industry.  Beck’s acting like he is deaf when it comes to Romney.  Newt is a conservative. Romney is the one with a conservative issue.  Beck knows that. Does he think George Washington is going to come charging in.  He has shown his true side which is one sided, disonest and inflicting deep judgement for a christian.   I agree with whiteir_disqus and kindomewaarior. But I am not shocked anymore by the lies Beck spews at an alarming rate. . I have already expressed my disapointment in Becks change of personality recently. I quess these conservative talk show individuals that say they don’t want Obama reelected really just care about their pocketbooks. They are going to help hand this election to Oboma.

    Well, for someone who claims to have followed Newt’s career, you sure don’t have the first clue about him. No true conservative would have been instrumental in NAFTA and newt still backs it. No true conservative would have tried the healthcare over-haul themselves then act like Obamao did something wrong. (Newt and Mitt both did that) Those are just two examples of many, so I guess you have no clue what a conservative is if you think Newt is one.

    Free, open trade is a conservative position. It’s called capitalism.

    In the 90s, when Hillary Clinton was pushing her federal takeover of healthcare, many conservatives were scrambling for alternatives. No less than the Heritage Foundation was floating the idea of individual mandates. Being conservatives at root, Newt and the Heritage Foundation thought their way out of the puzzle box. Newt, in particular, at his Center for Health Transformation, he developed a solid, clear, concise, and conservative argument against Obamacare.

    If you are a conservative, why are we arguing? If Mitt is a conservative, why is he arguing with Newt? You don’t see Rick arguing. He is probably the most principled man running but he’s not gaining any traction. Thus, I’ve opted for Newt. He has a better record of winning than Mitt, he is more honest than Mitt, he is more conservative than Mitt, he is a MUCH better debater than Mitt, and he is just plain smarter than Mitt. ‘Nuff said.

  • Anonymous

    I was being facetious when I called them “idiots”. Their dishonesty is apparent. One example if their constant use of the “reprimand” and “fine” and saying Newt left Congress in disgrace. I suggest you listen to Mark Levin’s 1/23 and 1/26 audio-rewind podcasts. Mark worked in government during the time in question. Newt was exhonerated of ALL substantive charges and the “fine” was payback for the committee’s expenses associated with investigating a document Newt’s attorney completed inaccurately. And, yes, I detest Mitt precisely because of his mud-slinging, lying campaign. Isn’t it Satan who is called the father of lies? I don’t have much truck with liars who will not recant or repent.

    I didn’t call Mitt a sociopath. I said he “evidences sociopathic behavior”. The evidence is his campaigns pattern of lying behavior that shows no regard for truth or fairness. He’s selling himself much like a used car salesman sells a car — anything goes. I don’t subscribe to that philosophy.

    I’m a Presbyterian — calvinist to the core.

    We have ties with Britain, Germany, Italy, Poland, Georgia, Japan, S. Korea, Australia, and Israel that go beyond mutual favors. There are treaties we have made which for us to renege on them would be nothing short of open betrayal. Millions of lives are on the line. There is no way the United States can withdraw into an isolationist bunker. However, we can drastically change how we deal with the situations we’re confronted with and there is certainly room for us to draw back forces from around the world and reduce spending.

  • Anonymous

    I was a tax collector, for crying out loud, not an economist. I know the basics very well, however. Your definition of capitalism is the definition of a contract, to which I would add that there must be consideration (i.e.: quid pro quo) to bring an actual contract into effectual being. For capitalism to prosper, property rights must be sacrosanct. Confiscatory taxation is an abomination. We might as well be serfs. Further, I’m probably not a pure capitalist because I believe “truth in lending” is a good idea; honesty in one’s dealing is paramount. I believe personal charity, not a government dole, is a morally positive thing. For me, it’s not all about gain. It’s about living as a man, not a predatory animal, and living free.

    Being $15 trillion dollars in debt and having to borrow money from countries all over the
    world to pay our bills, how can Newt Gringrich say that in 10 years we will have a space
    station on the moon?  How can any of you think that with the state of bankruptcy America
    is in that we could afford such an undertaking.  We need to concentrate on the most
    important issue facing this country?  The deficit that is increasing our debt.  If we do
    not get a grip on tackling this problem before it gets any worse than it is now, we will
    be a third world country with a lot of our citizens living in the streets, foraging for food
    in garbage dumps, not having access to bathing facilities, and causing an American
    shortage of the resources this country has.  We have to not only cut spending but we
    must also pay off those countries that own us because they loan this country money
    just to exist.
    We have to attack the above issues now.  We cannot wait.  Now think.  Newt Gingrich
    is not the best candidate for President.  He has stated in his debates that he will create
    more government agencies to do want he wants to do.  Where will he get this money?
    From all of us eventually.  We cannot afford to may for the government now.  We must
    start eliminating government agencies now and give the states control over those
    government agencies that are pertinent to each state.  We must, must, must get
    control of government spending.

     What I am surprised about, and can’t find an explanation for is, Ann Coulter, Charles Krauthammer and Neal Cavuto wanting Romney.   Rush seems to be leaning towards NG and so is Hannity.   I’ve decided on taking a big leap for Santorum-he’s the guy for me in DC.   I am also sending him money;  he can’t compete with the others and it would be a shame if he were forced to quit.

  • jen

    Krauthammer and O’Reilly specifically said Romney lied about this, perhaps you just do not want to take history and prefer to rewrite history.  Palin spoke out today saying the conservative elites want to ‘crucify Newt’ and are ‘rewriting history’.  Disgrace is when you get kicked out for things like ethics, etc…  Defeat is when you don’t get enough votes.  Are you saying Romney is a disgrace because he lost prior Senate elections to Ted Kennedy?

    I am using ‘elites’ the same way the rest of media uses this term.  It is the ruling class that governs politics and business – that ones who call the shots and are insiders. 

    The elites like Jefferson are entirely different from the elites we’ve had for the past 100 years since the creation of the federal reserve system.  Jefferson and Romney/Bush/Obama are on entirely different ends.  One formed the best government while the other is doing everything to crash that ‘best’ government formed.   If you for Romney, then you resent Washington/Jefferson for their misdeeds as you call it, regardless of whether you choose to say it in public or not.

If Santorum wants to run again in the next primary, hopefully that won’t be until 2020, he will be the one receiving all of the donations and high polls, like Romney now.

    Glenn’s bias here is so obvious, so clear, I’m utterly insulted.

    Today he actually featured some poor woman who had succumbed to this onslaught of anti-Newt propaganda.

    He again, (maybe just for his own sanity, certainly not ours) defended his ‘unbiased’ position in regards to Mitt, Newt and Santorum.

    So has RomneyCare been researched and presented in-depth by Glenn? Has Glenn ferociously searched Romney’s past for anything he didn’t like, and then, upon finding it, relentlessly advertise that dislike day after day after day after day?

    It’s the percentage of Newt coverage and its’ nature vs. the percentage of Romney coverage and its’ nature that makes Glenn’s bias clear, even if he himself cannot see it.

    Thank God for Rush & Levin on this, at least some semblance of common sense is being applied by these two. Hannity, I find pro-Newt and rather worthless because of it as well.

    Glenn, do you understand that when Romney turns out soft on ObamaCare and we eventually go down as a nation because of it that you will share some of the responsibility? 

    And that’s because of callers like the woman caller today…

    I used to like Mark Levin, but havn’t listened to him or to Rush L. since they think they have become the so called conscience of the republican party. Unless we see the papers of Newts leaving his speakership, we just know that he did leave.  Too many of Newt former house republicans have come forth to denonce Newt.  It appears to be ok when Newt slung mud, but not Mitt, oh well, Newt has sunk himself he is not the great debater that he wanted people to think he was, he was only good when he went after the media, that isn’t a debator, that is a bully.   Hopefully we will be seeing the last of Newt.  Romney 2012

    You say Newt is more honest than Mitt, oh my gosh, the man that cheated on his wives, Mitt is married to the same woman for 42 years.  I guess you didn’t see the debate last night, Newt can’t debate, he showed it last night, didn’t have his facts straight, Mitt got him.

    Dead on.  Glenn is now on the Romney bandwagon just like fox news.
    It’s a shame Republicans have learned nothing from 2008.  If we pick romney Obama will win.  We must take a chance on another candidate.

    Ethics violation charges were levied againist Newt, most were discarded, but something was wrong, the republicans wanted him out.  Krauthammer didn’t say that Romney lied, Krauthammer and most everybody else doesn’t know what really took place, those papers are sealed.

    Your definition of elites sounds like our founding fathers, they were the ruling class that formed the gov.  You are putting words in my mouth I did not say that Washington/Jefferson had misdeeds, how dare you say that–I said they created the best gov. in the world, how do you get misdeeds out of that, I wouldn’t believe a word you say anymore.

    Yes, I made a point similar to this a few days ago. Why isn’t Beck doing his research on Romney too. It is Newt being slaughtered by Beck to a degree that you have to ask yourself why he isn’t going in depth on Romney too?? In addition to the Healthcare which will take down our nation if left in place there is also the abortion issue, One person gave a link that shows Romney stating he will never ever change his pro abortion position. Is is available on u tube. Sorry I dont have link but easy to find. That said, it is the healthcare that is primary, My husband a doctor at a chrstian based large hospital in which they are losing 10 million dollars a month since Obamacare.. This is just one large hospital in a smaller town yet serving a broad area. They were doing fine before Obama care and please note they did not turn people away prior to Obama care.. He also works with low income patients. Even though he has done this a few decades now only since Obama care they have lost money and have been letting people go, Less doctors to care for the patients. Where is Beck? Why not a word on how this is already threatening everyones healthcare. It has been established teams met with Obama regarding Romneys healthcare plan when forming Obama care. In addition, how is it working out with Romneys state and the mess there. Perhaps Beck can’t put Romneys issues on the platter because Romney always blames everything he has done on someone else handling his affairs for him. Beck also has admitted to a very bad past yet hammers Newt on his past. It doesn’t pass the logic test.

    I have to completely ElPzee…I was so glad that Glenn had initially not back Romney this time he ran for President (like he did back in the 2008 race when he was on CNN) After he left CNN & went to Fox News I thought he had really made a difference on his show…now he is backing someone that is the opposite from what he sold us while on Fox…the only reason why he has come out for Romney now is because he is a Mormon…That is what happened last time when Obama won….the blacks voted for him JUST because he was black…I would have voted for Cain if he had made it to the General Election so don’t call me racist or biased…I just do not like what Romney stands for, he is way too liberal for me…but after all I am a Conservative…

    listentolevin you are mistaken. GB has never said that his position is unbiased. He has a very biased position b/c he’s already said who he wants to vote for and it’s NOT romney OR gingrich… just b/c GB is mormon and romney is mormon doesn’t mean squat. Harry Reid is mormon and GB can’t stand his politics.

    Gingrich is a real problem and he doesn’t want anyone to pay attention to his negative history and only look at the good things he’s done. He’s got a shady past in many areas and he’s been in politics for 30yrs, which I think is a Republican establishment guy, no matter what the talk radio guys say or don’t say. The establishment may think romney is more electable and that’s why they are behind him but never fool yourself for a minute into thinking that Gingrich isn’t an “in the beltway” politician. Just as GB has been pointing out, Gingrich isn’t the guy and if people think he is a true blue conservative, they are in for a big shock. GB has said he’s in for Santorum and at this point Santorum’s looking like the only real conservative candidate.

    Actually, a few years ago I do remember GB doing a bit of a look at Romneycare and showing what a failure it was and why. Maybe you should see a doc about that selective amnesia…

    GB’s never done an in-depth expose on Newt’s past either. It’s stuff that’s come up from other people (Coulter, the articles featured on Drudge recently) and a bunch of audio from Newt himself incriminating his “conservative” credentials. It isn’t hard to find that audio and it wasn’t an “in-depth” feature on Gingrich’s past b/c after 30+ yrs in the politics, he’s bound to have more.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_FPLGC7KTFNNXYCWZU5ZCDJMWNE DH

    Why are you settling for the easy connection – if there is a connection at all? You are being intellectually lazy. GB hasn’t endorsed Romney and hasn’t has Romney on his program to help bolster support for him. Santorum is the guy GB wants as POTUS and seems to regularly have him on his show. If by doing that it means GB is secretly supporting Romney for POTUS it’s a very weird way of doing it. You need to stop seeing things that aren’t necessarily there. Romney doesn’t have 30+ years of political soundbites and enemies to expose him like Gingrich does and there is no record of Romney saying the progressive stuff that Gingrich has and then trying to backpedal on it in the last 2 years or so. That could be another reason why GB isn’t as terrified of Romney as he is Gingrich. Gingrich has exposed himself as a progressive in a conservative’s clothing. Romney did some big govt things but has never tried to lie about his actions or say he didn’t mean what he said.

    I do remember the piece you are mentioning but there is a difference in Glenns all out attack on Newt. I love Santorum but do you think he can get the capital he needs and really debate Obama. I would love him to be president some day. In the following months I  just worry about sly ole Obama smooth talker and 1 billion dollars. I know Newt has issues but he can debate well.  I also know though Newt doesnt have that much money either compared with Romney. None of the other canidates do.

    You bring up matters that occurred a decade or more ago and have nothing to do with Mr. Gingrich’s public record. I don’t like adulterers but at least Newt didn’t lie about it and try to hide his bad deeds — and he has since come to faith and sought forgiveness.

    I, on the other hand, am concerned about contemporary behavior. Mitt Romney’s campaign is scurrilous. Newt has eschewed such tactics and called for his SuperPACs to NOT engage in them. I will say that Rick Santorum holds the highest ground but Newt is still on the mountain. Mitt is in the gutter.

    So, you’re not really interested in the truth or having a conscience? I agree with you then. You properly belong in the Romney camp.

    I agree that Mitt has strengthened his debate skills since Monday (Thank Newt). On Monday, Mitt looked like a boy who had to go to the bathroom the way he was jumping around and stuttering. Last night, his delivery was improved. Unfortunately, his content was still mostly a pack of lies and avoiding his complicity in his campaign’s gutter tactics, like the ad HE APPROVED that he tried to disavow. Mitt only looks good now because he was so bad early on. What you’ve got to worry about is Newt hitting another one out of the park. It’s coming. Maybe not in Florida but, sooner or later, he’ll connect with the ball.

    WOW.  What is WRONG with you people?  Glenn wants Romney in office just as much as he wants Gingrich in there.  You already KNOW about Mitt.  Everyone ALREADY KNOWS about Mitt, HIS record and what he has said.  Mitt isn’t the one denying his record…NEWT IS!                

    I think, what you’re more upset about is the lack of ammo to use FOR Rick Santorum.  I’d like that as well.  But, remember what Glenn has always said

    … “You don’t see Rick arguing. He is probably the most principled man
    running but he’s not gaining any traction. Thus, I’ve opted for Newt.” …

    REALLY??  So…instead of putting your SUPPORT behind the guy you REALLY
    WANT–thereby giving him more “traction”–you would rather support someone who
    does NOT reflect your values??? 

    What kind of Christians are you people?  Because I want nothing to do with THAT kind of attitude.

    spot on.  Herman Cain was my choice too.  Cain was a REAL person and a REAL businessman.  People could picture Herman being their neighbor.  He was the ONLY candidate who is a normal person and not part of the political class that our nation has unfortunately created.

    Romney is simply part of the elite political class, he has never worked with his hands, he inherited millions, and made millions more by re-investing his inheritance(which he apparently paid others to invest for him).   Romney never actually made his own money.   America was looking For a Herman Cain type businessman, not a Warren Buffet type investment millionaire like Romney.

    The main thing with Romney is he is a loser, not a loser personally, but a loser politically.  He is an extremely weak candidate with a long history of losing elections.  He lost to McCain, Huckabee, and Fred Thompson.  This is what proves Romney’s unelectability to me.  Against a strong candidate like Obama Romney will lose by at least 10% probably over 15%, especially with Obama’s Billion dollars in campaign funds and control of the media.  If we want ANY chance we have to pick someone other than Romney, that is a simple fact.

    Absolute non-sense to believe that Gingrich has “attacked capitalism/free-market”.  Glenn is participating in spreading falsehoods with that lie.  Also further Proof that Glenn and Fox news are on the Romney bandwagon.  PROOF BELOW.

    Romney attacks Gingrich’s small business and LIES that he was lobbyist for advising FM&FM.  Glenn and Fox news spin this as “mostly true”in fox’s case and completely true in Glenn’s case, anti-capitalist??  NOOOOO, Romney said that. Gingrich attacks Romney for bankrupting businesses and dumping employee pensions on federal Government, and this is spun with LIE of anti-capitalism. THESE ARE  BLATANT LIES AND MISINFORMATION.

    Double standard???  Bias???  You bet, plain Hypocrisy if you ask me.

    THINK FOR YOURSELVES CONSERVATIVES, THE PROOF IS RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES, YOU MUST DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS.
    GLENN AND FOX NEWS ARE TRYING TO  SELL YOU ROMNEY!!!!

    Andrew Nepolitano for President  
     It’s a shame that when we really need to win, that  Newt, Romney, and their arguing is turning off the independent voter, and is setting  the right up for failure.    Was the true reason Newt resigned due to the fact that he wouldn’t support their (the GOP’s) agenda the way they wanted him to,.  I’m certainly not a Newt fan nor a Romney fan ( think he’s  not in touch with the Average conservative American, and is too uncertain ) , nor  do I support everything Ron Paul or Rick Santorum supports, I don’t  want Donald Trump to think about entering either, But It does look like Rick Santorum. and Ron Paul are the most Honest and they seem to Walk the walk, It is a shame that America Can’t see that honesty matters, that liberty and freedom matters, that big obtrusive government kill liberty and freedom. and with the right support  Liberty can win and we can protect our liberty and freedom. keep the Government out of our lives and businesses, and we can have an economy that works, and freedom and liberty once again.

    A truer statement has never been said.   My vote is for Santorum after much analysis.   I will vote for the Republican candidate; whom ever it will be.   I couldn’t face myself if I were  party to voting a third party or not voting at all.  Might as well vote Obama back in.  
    Some may say to vote for Romney/Gingrich yata, yata, is a vote for another progressive.   Let’s see if that’s true.   With Obama, we already know were he’s taking us.

    I think you are mistaken, we are nothing alike. I will not vote for another establishment lackey to replace the one we already have. I will not vote for another big government guy. This is not about getting rid of Obamao, this is about restoring our Republic. If you put one of these clowns up (Mitt or Newt) and let’s say they do win. Then they continue to do the same things this idiot we already have is doing, what is the point in that? Think it can not happen? Let’s take Obamao, he ran on everything that was NOT GWB. Since he has been in office, tell me ANY GWB policy he has changed. You can’t because it does not exist. I am past the D vs R paradigm, they are the same. They all talk a good game, but actions speak louder than words.

    This discourse (argument?) you are having with “jen” includes a word that in an objective English dictionary would be explained as a special category of individuals that are outstanding in some way or another. An elite group of people could be people that have deservedly won specific awards within i.e., science, music or anything else (by their  excellent performance and through their hard work!) And it could just as well be a group of individuals that are considered special in a social context, belonging to an especially wealthy or powerful group of people, or both.
    Simply for being a member of such groups should not trigger an “automatic out” or a disqualification by individuals of lesser means. There are a number of people that deserve much credit for their “honorable, well meaning and responsible” monetary, time consuming and sacrificial contributions to various parts of our society – look them up! By having this argument, and a great many Americans are having this argument, sadly enough, we are not only creating any more unity amongst ourselves, rather divisions! And I am NOT defending anyone that would whip up this storm and tear down our country. Back in the -60′s and -70′s there were several songs that iterated a disgust with people that did their best to tear down the fabric of our country. The slogan, “Love it or leave it” became a mantra of people (and there were millions of us!) that  really loved what this country stood for (and still stand for), and try to emphasize the positives and not the negatives of this country. We seem to be losing ourselves in this misplaced sentiment that is being spurred on by the very same people that attempted to bring us down in the -60′s and -70′s.
    I do NOT condone of people that are attempting to divide us, or let me rephrase, that are attempting to INCREASE the divide among us as Americans. People that use popular terms like elite, should AT LEAST know what they are saying. Being a member of an elite is most of the time not necessarily a planned choice; it is a result of your performance, your academic standing or your inherited social standing. In a free society you will always have people of difference position. That is mostly chosen, whether it is materially beneficial or not. So being poor or middle income, may just as surely be a chosen social state as an individual within “the elite” upper income people. Regardless, we should NOT judge each other for who we are or where we are in this society. We are still free to choose! A little harder than before perhaps, but still possible.   
    For any of us that are discontent with our place in life, there is still opportunity for us to obtain what “they” have through hard work and diligence. Being to focused on the differences between us, gives the enemy more “water on the mill”, attempting to destroy our opportunity for upwards mobility.
    I grew up in a socialistic country, where an ingrained set of rules was levied on anyone that stuck their head above the “material” water. It was called the Jante law, and was mostly very effective. There were few people that I remember that would show open appreciation for their success. Something for us to always keep in mind, human behavior does not differ much, wherever you may go in the world; envy and jealousy are basic instincts. Even though “everyone loves a winner”, lots of people would just love to take him down!
    I would suggest to say, re: both yours and jen’s argumentation, to differentiate between elite – and elitist. That is the type of individual that certainly deserves to be despised and shunned. He is certainly has a conviction that you are less than he is!
    The Founders of this country SACRIFICIALLY gave of themselves (some of them all they had!)so that other people, like you, Jen, me and all the rest of us would live in a free society.Their perception of this society where every American eventually would be assured liberty to obtain the opportunity for personal responsibility for  lives. They paid a  heavy price! How can you suggest to say that today’s  elitists are making any sacrifice that even comes close to that of our Founders?!
    They were obviously not elitists, though they may have been members of one social elite or another.

    Understand me, I am not mentioning or favoring any candidate in THIS text for what should be an obvious reason, I would like this reminder to be read and heard.

    I have a hard time forgetting what happens to people that lose their job, for the wrong reasons. Reasons like a takeover of a company that may not be doing that well, but has a possibility to be revived. I also have a problem accepting, that is just me, considering the fact that the same company is sucked dry for equity and consequently loaded up with foreign (to the company) debt. One thing is for certain, the company has a snowball’s chance of surviving with no basis for financing left. I worked as an engineer (company man!) in the late -70′s and early -80′s and became very well informed re: this practice. Some called these people “paraias” and felt they effectively destroyed companies and people’s work places. I was not subject to a loss due to this practice, but I just have a hard time, feel so bad for the people that lost their jobs, that in most incidents were not taken care of at all. People that had worked in the same company for 20-30 years, age 50, 55, 60, ahd no place to go. Sad, very sad. Any reasonable American would feel compassion in such an instance, how could you not?
    I understand they “destructive capitalism” is part of our free enterprise system. OK, but I still have a hard time with it, if for no other reason then the job loss that so many experienced and perhaps still does. I consider myself a conservative and very much value our free enterprise system. The question that arise in my mind is, with all these major well financed corporations how free is free enterprise in this country?

    Newt is to me very interesting to me, though he may not be totally free of “background”, I am still looking into his as well as Romney’s. And by the way, Romney does not fit the elitist template, regardless whether I am for or against him.

    yeah, right! Real smart! Did you ever hear the statement, “For evil to conquer is for good men to do nothing”? We currently have “evil” in the White House, voting for 3. party will only allow “evil” to stay in the White House besides to sink this Nation! For sure! Is that really what you want? Whatever voter category you are in; young, old, rich poor, repub or dem you will be ill served by another 4 years of Obama. You really cannot see that? By the way, are you one of those that voted him in first time? Hmmm, I don’t know about you… With all the info about him out there on a web, it was just a matter of connecting the dots, fairly simple. Bad company corrupt, for one….!

    I really don’t wish to argue with you or attept to sway your opinion. I will just put it this way. Romney and Gingrich are both evil also, So if one of them ends up being the nominee against obama, I will view it as Hitler against Stalin. I refuse to vote for either of that lot. If you think it’s stupid to vote 3rd party, fine. I think it’s stupid to give legitimacy to the prospect of getting hung on one hand or shot on the other.
