The Spectacle.

Editor,

Mitt Romney's rivals for the Republican nomination probably don't actually believe it, but they are peddling the line that the private equity industry is the unethical bastard child of the otherwise triumphant and eminently just American version of capitalism championed by Republicans from Ronald Reagan on.

But talking up this foolishness will only raise more questions about the power big money has -- and uses with nary a thought of its destructive effects on working people in particular and the USA in general.

In some ways it was inevitable that the greed and callousness that lie at the heart of right-wing "thought" would finally impel Newt Gingrich to loose this genie from the Republicans' bottle of bile.

I must admit that for me it is gratifying to watch these money-grubbing power-hungry selfish twits go after one another in public. Maybe the spectacle will finally wake up all those brainwashed TV watchers who are manipulated year after year with race baiting, hippie bashing, gay bashing, and terrorism-inflating idiocy into voting for people who suck their blood while they are sleeping and laugh about it while thinking up the next whopper with which to bamboozle the uniformed.
