“In essence, Gingrich pulled off a remarkable feat in the last ten days — he has won a GOP primary in a conservative state by running ads and campaigning in a way that normally appeals only to left wing, anti-capitalist critics, and skated by his history of adultery by riding a wave of MoveOn.org-type sentiment among evangelical voters.”
Until about a week ago or maybe a bit longer ago than that, I used to see the people who write for PJM as conservatives and libertarians. That is no longer the case, the people who write here have become every bit as vitriolic as any left wing web page.
You claim that Newt was running his campaign as a left wing, anti-capitalist, and yet the right wing, and pro capitalists who turned out to vote in the hundreds of thousands repudiate that nonsense in total. Now, when something like this happens a person with a sane view of the world will take a second look at their premise.
Your Premise is that Newt ran a left wing and anti-capitalist campaign, I never saw it as such. When you take a specific attack on a specific activity by a specific individual or small group of individuals and extrapolate it out to cover something as large as the entire capitalist society in which we live, that is a left wing tactic. No different than the argument that the science is settled, so if you keep bringing up scientific facts that do not support what we have claimed to be settled you must be an anti-science neanderthal. It is no different than arguing that if you do not support educating children (DREAM ACT) then you must not have a heart. So, who exactly is fielding a left wing campaign? Romney or Newt?
I say Romney is fielding the left wing campaign and I base this on style and as well as substance. I also declare that you and much of the supposed conservative media has moved towards something that is not going to end well for your reputations.
