While there has been much infighting among the six remaining
candidates, Jon Stewart realized Monday night that there's one thing
they pretty much can all agree on: "Class warfare" against the rich --
excuse me, job creators -- is wrong, unless we're talking about Mitt Romney.
Amidst talk of lower taxes, deregulation and unlimited corporate
campaign funding, the candidates, especially Newt Gingrich, have gone
against those views to criticize Romney's wealth. Gingrich himself said
Romney should give back the sums he gained by laying people off, which
sounds specifically like a liberal-minded redistribution of wealth to
Stewart.
"Welcome, comrade!" Stewart joked.
So what exactly instigated this hypocritical behavior? Gingrich's
biggest complaint is that Romney's attack ads -- funded by his unlimited
PAC money -- are not fair. But a quick reel showing the rest of the GOP
candidates' economic views proves that not only is what Romney's doing
"fair" by their standards, but that he's really the "pure distillation
of Republican economic policy" and the very picture of Gingrich's
platforms.
