Newt (and his minions) could have hit back hard with <strong>conservative</strong> punches (notably on RomneyCare). And <strong>any</strong> mention of Bain should have been framed as an electability issue (as opposed to the electability effect being a mere afterthought, deployed tactically to deflect criticism).<br /><br /><br /><br />I don't like Romney.

To those who dissent from this easy and affordable solution to America's woes, the Paul campaign likes to point out that it receives more money from America's men in uniform than anybody else. According to the Federal Election Commission, in the second quarter of 2011, Ron Paul got more donations from service personnel than all other Republican candidates combined, plus President Obama. Not unreasonably, serving soldiers are weary of unwon wars – of going to war with everything except war aims and strategic clarity. I would hazard that the recent video of U.S. Marines urinating on Taliban corpses is a coarser comment on the same psychosis, and the folly of fighting a determined and murderous enemy by distributing to your officers bulk orders of that charlatan's best-seller 'Three Cups of Tea.'

These clips weigh heavily on my brain (courtesy <a href="http://www.verumserum.com/?p=36719">Verum Serum</a>), especially with the loathsome class warfare attack being launched against Romney. Yes, it's a <a href="http://www.kingofbain.com/">'Super PAC,'</a> but I don't know how Newt escapes responsibility for the tenor of this ad. Saying 'he did the same to me' doesn't cut it; I already knew Romney was a crum. Now I know you're one too, Newt? The defense of the anti-Bain attack (even putting aside the propaganda of the actual PAC video) that depends upon dubious, anecdotal, trees-for-forest 'narratives' about lost jobs is strained at best (<a href="http://pjmedia.com/spengler/2012/01/12/private-equity-and-creative-destruction/?singlepage=true">Goldman</a>).<br /><br /><br /><br />On the other hand, the idea, endorsed by <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204257504577154932854776186.html">Fred Barnes</a>, that the "seeds" of a November disaster are being planted now by Perry and Gingrich is ludicrous. If you don't realize that Obama and Co. have a storehouse full of Bain-centric attacks ready to go you must be new to this game. This is Romney's opportunity to rebut the attacks before the Dems regurgitate them.

Yet there has never been ANY evidence of a Pales­tin­ian nation. Simply put, if there is no historical evidence to separate Palestinians from Arabs then Palestinians ARE Arabs. The fact is there has never been an authentic Pales­tin­ian lan­guage, a dis­tinct Pales­tin­ian cul­ture, Palestinian currency (except while under British Mandate) or even land once ruled by Palestinians. These facts would give any historian pause, and it did with Gingrich, who used it as an opportunity to set the record straight. Gingrich had to address the Palestinian narrative head-on. For that he should be applauded not ridiculed."</em><br /><br /><br /><br />1300 BCE I think overstates it a bit; I think it's more like 800 to 900. To that you can add that <em>since that time there has been a continuous Jewish (Hebrew) presence</em>.

Thoroughly Anti-Semitic OWS<a href="http://www.commentarymagazine.com/article/occupy-wall-street-and-the-jews//">Neumann</a> at Commentary:<br /><br /><em>"Certainly, the Occupiers were more hostile toward Jews than toward any other ethnic or religious group. And certainly they were more hostile toward Israel than toward any other foreign state and more preoccupied with Israel than with any other foreign policy issue. There were no claims of Islamophobia or Christianophobia. Why were only Israel and the Jews singled out?</em><br /><br /><br /><br /><em>"No doubt, the core priorities of Occupy Wall Street were a hodgepodge including grievances against the financial system and a laundry list of demands relating to tuition and college loans and the like. But Jews and Israel were never far from those core concerns, as a worrying proportion of protesters and sympathizers made repeatedly clear. As ever, conspiracy theories attempting to link small and influential cabals with finance, corporations, arms, and imperialism came to implicate Jews and Israel. It was predictable from the start, and it was visible throughout.</em><br /><br /><br /><br /><em>"Which makes the prominent Jewish involvement in these protests all the more curious and alarming."</em><br /><br /><iframe frameborder="0" style="height: 0px;
