You see, they weren't ripping off the taxpayers, they were trying to save the economy.

I doubt it. If so, let’s have at it and see what happens.
Not much could be more pathetic than what we have now!
These guys are pretty good.

This is not crony capitalism or anything like it. This is just plain old theft. They knew this company was already in trouble, and they knew there were cheaper products out of China.
This is nothing more than Obama needing a buttload of campaign cash. That money went straight from the taxpayers pocket to Solyndra, and right back out into Obama’s pocket, not even counting the union dues he would get out of it. That’s why they rushed it through before Solyndra cratered further. That money spread out from Solyndra to people who can get it back to him ‘under the table.’ And by that I mean different PACs and filtered right on through.
Crony capitalism heretofore, was just using power and influence around...making sure to put in a good word at a bank for some friend’s loan, smoothing the wheels to make sure a contractor buddy’s bid gets accepted, or greasing wheels of government red tape for developer pal. Usually legitimate deals, but sliding on the outer edge of ethics.
This thing that Obama did is just pure thievery. That company did not go through $535 million dollars in two years? That’s half a billion dollars. No way!
Dear Sarah,
GET IN NOW !!!
I didn’t trash Palin. I asked why she didn’t follow up on her charge against Perry.
Guess what? She didn’t even mention Perry in her “crony capitalism” post tonight.
Why didn’t she mention Rick Perry today after sliming him on Monday? Seems as if people like you bought her attack; why won’t she continue it?
No way, no how will Gov. Palin go 3rd Party! She blows up the corruption from within, not from without. Bob
Why sound like a broken record? Gov. Palin has already made her point about Perry’s administration clearly.
re: I wouldn’t give GE the glowing accolades Sarah gives them.
She doesn’t want to alienate the workers[voters] who have no part in the cronyism.
$5,000 pales in comparison to half a billion or over $3 billion.
Sarah, call me. I can actually give you a winning strategy.
Yes, your obsessive and continual efforts to tie Rick Perry's name to the issue of crony capitalism is indeed a winning strategy for Sarah.
A very smart political move. Sarah always looks at the big picture and keeps her eye on the ball.
You see, they weren't ripping off the taxpayers, they were trying to save the economy.
Actually, I find accusing a fellow GOP member of being bought for $5k to be much more of an insult to Perry than the obvious corruption by Obama. Palin blew it Monday night when she smeared Perry over $5k, or $38k, or $385k, or whatever the new anti-Perry spin is. That's why she hasn't said a word about it since then. It was a dumb comment, she got called out on it, and she is trying to bury it. Unfortunately for Sarah, her FR "supporters" can't see the obvious clue she has given them the past two days.
On Greta tonight, Trump kept repeating, “half billion dollars that’s a lot of money”...he said it at least 6 times and he was only on the phone for a couple of minutes.
Um, and I'm just guessing here, but maybe she's a better campaign strategist than you? Just sayin ...
Advice: Go to bed. Wake up. Get a life.
Did media member Sarah Palin mention Rick Perry in her post tonight?
Yes/No
Simple question, isn’t it?
