re: #6 The Yankee

Do the right wingers hate lobbyist too? I thought they were for any type of capitalism just short of drug dealing. At least that is what the people said when they were supporting the way Mitt made his money.

Too broad a brush stroke. Remember that Newt is now the “anti-establishment” candidate out to free us from the tyranny of Washington. Therefore lobbyists are bad for the libertarian and rank and file. However, Newt also has those nice inside connections and Beltway experience that is useful for the corporate interests. No one talks about that now. (Not to mention that everyone was so jealous of him they trumped up a bunch of stuff that they all due and blamed it on him!)
