A Half hour TV polemic exposing corporate greed, looting, outsourcing, lost lives and broken dreams is being produced by Newt's SuperPAC

The trailer is up, appearing on conservative sites Half an hour slots are being placed in key markets

AND the message is could not be more clear:

Mitt Romney and his cronies pioneered ‘deindustrialization,’ ...

they searched out vulnerable companies, took them over, loaded them with debt, and collected obscene fees while doing so ... sent jobs overseas or killed them altogether, and then picked apart the remains - including pension funds - before the companies went bankrupt.

Some might call that the free market. Most of us think its just plain wrong. http://www.kingofbain.com/

Rick Tyler (Newt's SuperPac): “Mitt Romney is not a capitalist,... He is a predatory corporate mugger. ...

If you ever wonder why so many manufacturing jobs are overseas, you need to look no further than Mitt Romney. He can claim thousands of jobs created, only those jobs were created in Mexico and Southeast Asia.”

And it's not only Newt.

Rick Perry is venturing into carpetbagging : "There’s nothing wrong with being successful and making money — that’s the American dream,” Mr. Perry said. “But there is something inherently wrong when getting rich off failures and sticking it to someone else is how you do your business. I happen to think that that is indefensible.”

“If you are a victim of Bain capital’s downsizing, it’s the ultimate insult for Mitt Romney to come to South Carolina and tell you he feels your pain — because he caused it,” Mr. Perry said. http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/09/perry-joins-rivals-in-attacking-romney-on-bain/

The GOP attacking Outsourcing and Corporate Greed? What does this mean? What will it mean in a million conservative living rooms?

1. About time people learned what Mitt really stands for

all the rest is just B.S.

2. Yeah but this is an attack from a Republicans wing.

It's not the same at all.

5. Good. When Mitt gets the nomination we can say

"even Republicans know he is a corporate looter. He got rich destroying companies and firing people"

[yardwork]

3. Republican infighting. How sweet it is.

[denem]

4. But Republican infighting on Class War issues?

bizzarro. It goes towards cutting Obama's campaign costs in half.

6. Newt PAC makes a distinction between healthy free market Capitalism and Predators like Bain

In that framework, it doesn't seem bizarre. In other words there are good productive capitalists who create great things.

And there are evil predators who create nothing and make money off of destruction

Anyway that is how they lay it out at the kingofbain website
