This is a discussion that needs to happen in the GOP, btw. He's just doing it to be a dick, but this needs to be part of the national discussion as well. It only helps Dems, and opens peoples eyes to what really happened to our economy.

A significant portion of the working class Republicans unaware of the fascist agenda actually being implemented by the corporate elite.

someone like Gingrich to make the case for regulation of crooks on Wall St. While President Obama is appointing more of these people into his administration.

Just like I thought it might be Cheney that would want to assassinate Americans or indefinitely detain them without trial but it ends up being Obama. And it ends up being Pelosi who took war crimes off the table and Obama who wants to move forward.

And so there is little difference between the two parties.

when you get home you find that the apples at the bottom of the barrel are all rotten, you feel cheated. And in fact, the guy who sold you the apples should have at least warned that he couldn't guarantee that the apples at the bottom of the barrel were any good.

That's what venture capitalists have done in a number of situations.

Gingrich is not criticizing capitalism. Nor are most Democrats. What he and we agree on (and I don't agree with him about much of anything else) is that corrupt, dishonest capitalism does not deserve our support. Neither he nor most Democrats condemn capitalism based on honesty and fair dealing.

he is making it a lot easier for Democrats to turn the general election this November into a campaign against Gordon Gecko
