some ppl may slap me and say, of course she wrote it, but sometimes I wonder, this is to good to be true. Plus you could tell if someone wrote the piece if they repeat phrases in the piece elsewhere in interviews or normal conversation

I believe Sarah writes these herself. She is a smart lady.

Sarah Palin says “crony capitalism.”

Goldman Sachs says “partnership.”

Ron Paul says “corporatism.”

I.O. says, such fascistic government-corporate control, is the neo-Marxist’s necessary step along the way to the “dictatorship of the proletariat” and the unnatural and impossible communist dream of egalitarian collectivism.

Come to think of it, where is Paul? He should be standing on a committee table somewhere, screaming bloody murder.

He's had a lot to say about the Fed and Treasury on similar grounds.

BTW, it's been remarked on another thread that Obama and his goons are baiting a hook for the GOP here, waiting for them to come rushing to the defense of Goldman, which they have already revealed they will throw under Obama's "Magic Bus".

Goldman is a completely unsympathetic, unpitiable "victim" in all this -- highly culpable in fact, they started the runs on Bear and Lehman -- and the Republicans should stay far, far away from them.

This Bill also moves the bulk of Wall Street FROM New York TO Chicago.

I hadn't heard that -- can you explain a bit more how this happens?

[sirchtruth]

GOVERNMENT is the problem and Barack “Hugo Chavez” Obama is worsening the problem.

And this is EXACTLY what Obama and the dems want to do. Worsen everything so more people will HAVE to rely on Gov't to bail them out.

As much as it pains me to say, Obama has done a masterful job so far. Our foreign enemies have never been able to cause a tenth of the destruction Obama has thus far and it will only get worse! Don't forget the MSM is complicit in the devastation of America along with their faux God!

I’m Palin fan, but fair is fair:

McCain took Goldman Sachs money — $230,095 [and much more about McStain in thread]

...the financial reform bill gives regulators the power to pick winners and losers, institutionalizing their ability to decide "which firms to rescue or close, and which creditors to reward and how." Does anyone doubt that firms with the most lobbyists and the biggest campaign donations will be the ones who get seats in the lifeboat? The president is trying to convince us that he's taking on the Wall Street "fat cats," but firms like Goldman Sachs are happy with federal regulation because, as one of their lobbyists recently stated, "We partner with regulators." They seem to have a nice relationship with the White House too. Goldman showered nearly a million dollars in campaign contributions on candidate Obama. In fact, J.P. Freire notes that President Obama received about seven times more money from Goldman than President Bush received from Enron. Of course, it's not just the donations; it's the revolving door. You'll find the name Goldman Sachs on many an Obama administration resume, including Rahm Emanuel's and Tim Geithner's chief of staff's. We need to be on our guard against such crony capitalism. We fought against distortion of the market in Alaska when we confronted "Big Oil," or more specifically some of the players in the industry and in political office, who were taking the 49th state for a ride.

Thanks Bigtigermike.
