As I have watched the rise of Newt from the ashes, I am reminded of the words of our favorite whipping boy. You know the one, the fat guy. Back when Bill Clinton was running for president, his mantra was 'character counts'. That was of course before he had so publicly displayed his own lack of character.
So on one hand you have Mitt Romney, who finds nothing wrong with putting thousands of people out of work so a small group of people can make a quick buck. We are not talking about taking a dying company and salvaging what's left. We are talking about taking a profitable company, one that perhaps treats it workers too well, not squeezing every last drop of blood they can out of them Or perhaps they are good citizens of their community, and don't take illegal shortcuts on disposing of toxic material. You get the idea, there is a little more to be profit squeezed out of them so the Romney's of this world move in to dismantle it. It is the quick buck verses the long view.
And on the other hand you have Newt Gingrich, a man who resigned in disgrace from his position as Speaker of the House of Representatives. A serial adulterer and deadbeat dad who is so convinced of his own infallibility that he is still beating the faith and family values drum.
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
