Sheesh. This is like the 10th thread today (so far) from various and different sources on the she will/she won’t run debacle.

I love Sarah either way. But the way she plays the media and the bloggers with all this anticipation is priceless.

I agree. FReepers that never supported Palin will whine and stamp their foot demanding that she get in or out, NOW, dammit! If she does announce her candidacy, the same folks will claim (in unison, no doubt) that "it's too late". Meanwhile, the media is fascinated with Palin and give her scads of free publicity by endlessly speculating whether she'll run or not and her would-be GOP opponents can only grumble and pretend not to care what Sarah Palin does. Yeah, right. As a Palin supporter, I'm not particularly impatient for her to announce her candidacy because I believe she'll do so within the month, if not on Saturday (9/3). Then the real fun begins.

It's not about what Mrs. Palin has to lose, but her splitting the vote, and then we have Romney thus President Obama another 4 years.

If you want to attack crony capitalism, criticism Obama and Jeffery Imelt.

I don’t know what to think anymore!

IMO they keep bashing her, hoping they can turn enough voters against her so that they neutralizer the threat=Sarah Palin. That’s been the MO all along and I think they are succeeding.

If he becomes Prez, Perry will be quitting after being elected Gov less than a year ago and promising the TX voters he would not run...

A quitter and a liar!

The Phrase ‘Rick Perry, he’s no quitter’ hits hard

That's true. Rick Perry has been a career politician for 27 long years now. He shows no inclination to quit.

And just how the fudge does some kid who grew up on a dirt farm become “The Permanent Political Class”

Oh please....get a grip! I like her and always have but, I know reality when I see it.

Make up your mind Sarah.

Crony Capitalism, WhatDoes Crony Capitalism Mean?

A description of capitalist society as being based on the close relationships between businessmen and the state. Instead of success being determined by a free market and the rule of law, the success of a business is dependent on the favoritism that is shown to it by the ruling government in the form of tax breaks, government grants and other incentives. Investopedia explains Crony Capitalism
Both socialists and capitalists have been at odds with each other over assigning blame to the opposite group for the rise of crony capitalism. Socialists believe that crony capitalism is the inevitable result of pure capitalism. This belief is supported by their claims that people in power, whether business or government, look to stay in power and the only way to do this is to create networks between government and business that support each other.

On the other hand, capitalists believe that crony capitalism arises from the need of socialist governments to control the state. This requires businesses to operate closely with the government to acheive the greatest success.

The comments are fun to read. They run the whole gamut from she shouldn't to she will.

The best is that she will wait and see how Perry holds up in his first debate. If he blows it, she will announce. If he doesn't, she will remain on the sidelines. I suspect Perry will exceed real expectations, but may not be able to live up to the hyped expectations.

I still do not believe that Palin is electable. Too much residual damage from he VP run. If Perry stumbles, I think we are all screwed . . . except for the Romney supporters.

Here is what we have learned today about Gov Palin:
she is going to run, she is not going to run
she is going to endorce Perry, she is going to criticize Perry
she is to stupid to live, she is smarter/devious than even Cheney
Bottom line Gov Palin is playing the MSM and they are ready to explode.

Allahpundits useless opinions are pure dripple from a Mitten Supporter desperate to smear his rival Perry.
Allahpundit is a Clown and about as accurate as his pal Karl Rove !
Palin has consistently trashed the Soros Prop as the “crony capitalism with GE, Goldman Sachs, Buffet, Soros , etc....

YOu have FReepmail..

Crony capitalism is taking place in all of DC. Has been for far too long.

This is why it’s time for a woman at the top. The place is a mess, the kids haven’t been doing their chores, and daddy’s been hanging out with the guys at the tavern.

And I say that as a guy. Ouch.

Nevertheless....

They need to fill out the Special Edition of the Sarah Palin butthut Report.

 

[existentialist]

Doesn’t Palin really need to go away?

If you want to attack crony capitalism, criticism criticize Obama and Jeffery Imelt.

[The Cajun]

but might *obliquely* criticize Perry

Should be an article coming out soon, by somebody, somewhere, with an unnamed source close to Palin that she may *perpendicularly* criticize him........At sometime or other, maybe or maybe not.........

Waiting breathlessly.
