...is kind of hilarious.
What kind of socialists are these other guys? Isn't the whole point of being Republican to be unabashedly greedy and horde wealth? Shouldn't they be praising Romney for his work at Bain Capital? Instead, Newt's pac has filmed a documentary about how horrible greedy capitalists are. Welcome to bizzaro world...

Being a Republican is about preserving freedom for individuals. Unfortunately, politicians somehow got in charge of the Republican party.

If only. Seems being Republican is about defense contracts and and kickbacks and bailouts to big corporations these days. Of course, that's about 90% of the Democratic platform as well.

"Conservatives" have built the illusion that wealthy people got there by working harder than poor people. If you are rich you deserve it because you WORKED for it, if you are poor you are lazy and/or stupid.
Romney got there by buying up companies that were profitable for the most part, but not profitable enough for their stock holders....then gutting those companies and selling off the parts to generate tons of quick money for the investors, while putting thousands of hard working people out of work.
It really doesn't fit in with the fiction they have been spinning for so long.

"Liberals" have built the illusion that wealthy people get there by pure luck alone and did not work any harder or make any more sacrifices than anyone else.

and Raytheon makes a rare astute point. Of course he goes off the rails after this sentence but that is besides the point.
the response by the "establishment" GOP candidates shows how far out touch they have gotten from real conservatism and the understanding of how free markets work.
this is an attack a statist would make and as we have heard from the lamestream media, this was an attack that Obama would have made
this re-entices the realization that there is no difference between the 2 establishment parties and why Dr. Paul who defended Romney from these attacks is the true voice of change

Great examples of why we need a strong alternative to Democrats AND Republicans.

I am voting for Ron Paul. I think that signals a shift in the GOP. I was the last establishment member holding out.

Do you vote 3rd party every time and convince at least one other person to stand on their principles as well?

The current thinking suggests that a third party would quickly replace one of the other two existing parties and then return us to two parties.
Still, I'm all for stirring the pot, even if it is for a limited time.

Shouldn't you be figuring out some way to get health insurance for your family instead of trying to think up nicknames for me?
