Soo sad. A caller described how her husband sold his company to Bain/Romney, continues to be paid as well as he had paid himself as an owner; but now we are supposed to feel sorry for him because he has to work harder than he did as the owner! Diane and her panel could not muster the good sense to ask, "Why did you sell the company?, Are you enjoying the money you were paid for the company?" Instead we were treated "tsk, tsk's" of how terrible this is. What would have happened to the company if the person had not sold? Would he have decided to work harder? Would he have saved the jobs lost?
Why does the panel and Diane so often just go with the liberal line of thinking, rather than ask penetrating news questions?
The focus on Mr. Gingrich's marital history gives too much attention to morality and hypocrisy at the expense of what may be most important: an apparent lack of empathy or even cruelty. Spousal abandonment is a devastating experience, one which he has inflicted on two people. While he may have made his peace with the Church, the apparent lack of remorse he has exhibited towards his ex-wives makes his invocation of "forgiveness" ring hollow. It is beyond me how anyone could consider this man a viable candidate for Commander in Chief.

What about those in Congress?
Outrageous!
