I'm not excusing the evilian aspect, just looking for root causes. I also think Barky's similarly afflicted, but my take is, he's heavily medicated. Gingrich has resisted treatment, but is rapid-cycling, IMHO.  I brought this up as a theory, a few weeks ago.

Good rich is where you go into business and make money because you are good at the business. Bad rich is where you are run out of public office for ethics violations and then turn around and use the access and information gained through that public office to enrich yourself by selling access and influence to the highest bidder. Guess which is which when it comes to Newt and Romney!! Yes, there is good rich and bad rich. Good rich is where you go into business and make money because you are good at the business.

Unlike most americans I have bank accounts in Germany because I go there and it make it easier to convert money to Euro at a better rate. I am not wealthy not by a long shot.

Income tax only ensures the status quo. The extremely wealthy of the world: Gates(56B), Buffet(62B), Romney (250M), Walmart clan, Jay Leno (150M) David Letterman (400M) do not derive the majority of their wealth from classic income any longer. But if we took every penny from these elites every cent of value it would not deal with the debt. Obama is using classic politics of envy to make himself wealthy at the expense of the rest--he is the "more equal pig" just like inside trader Nancy Pelosi.

But I do disagree with her. Completely. I disagree that this lenghty bash fest by the GOP is helpful. I also am somewhat confused by her rush to defend Gingrich when he get's attacked. She was certainly silent when Gingrich and his supporters smeared Romney. I was once a fan. I'm rethinking that position. Right now I find her profoundly disappointing. Perhaps we shouldn't be taking advice from losers. I don’t think she’s an idiot. But I do disagree with her. Completely.

Bullies like Newt usually collapse when given some of their own back. Especially when it comes from someone for whom this kind of behavior is out of character.  This "confrontation" schtick isn't Romney's "thing" but he proved that he can do it if he has to.
