United Corporations of Gingrich



Newt Gingrich has adopted a populist stance starting in New Hampshire and reaching a peak, of sorts, in South Carolina. They fell for it there, turning against Romney because he was an investment banker.

There’s nothing wrong with that. Romney is the bionic candidates, the one who spouts the line of The Money Party whenever his lips are moving.

But please, Newt, you are the great Whore of Babylon when it comes to coddling the financial elite. There isn’t a regulation you won’t bend for your pals. You raise money by the millions from gambling interests, while you shop at Tiffany’s.

The “New Newt” may sell with South Carolina Republicans but the rest of us know what you are – a made man in The Money Party.

Behold a pale horse ... Mitt's fatal flaw

Behold a pale horse ... Mitt's fatal flaw

By Michael Collins



The South Carolina exit poll (sponsored by the mainstream media) had a new question for voters as they left their polling places. They were asked if they had a positive or negative opinion of Mitt Romney's background as an investor. Investor refers to Romney's time as an investment banker with Bain Capital and can be taken as a proxy for a pro or anti-Wall Street/financial elite stance. ...

Gingrich's skillfully applied phony populism produced around 80,000 votes based on the results for the investor question. His margin of victory over Romney was 76,000. The issue is potent and will be repeated in upcoming contests.
