Unlike the Rollins-Bachmann diss targeting Gov. Palin,
Politico is stirring up a NOTHING for its preferred
Obama and Romney.

Proof: It was written by Jonathan Martin.

“And The Most Irresponsible Journalist Award Goes to The Politico’s Jonathan Martin!
So tell me, how do you write a “news” story about an organization paying for a speaker when you don’t even know if the organization is paying for the speaker?
Ask “journalist” Jonathan Martin. He knows all about it.
You see, Jonny wrote a piss poor story the other day about how the Iowa Family Policy Center will be paying a large speaker fee if Sarah Palin comes to Iowa to keynote the IFPC’s fall funderaiser.
The only problem is that Jonny has no sources confirming that any exorbitant fee is being charged or paid.
Jonny also got some inside info from David Kochel, who was a top aide to former (and future) presidential candidate, Mitt Romney.
Hey Dave, didn’t I just read a story about how Mitt Romney tried to buy off the Iowa Christian Alliance?
I heard you helped facilitate that little scheme. And somehow you are shocked at the thought of a well-known political figure (who very likely isn’t running for president) getting paid a speaker’s fee for (gasp) a public speaking appearance? ..
and then we’ve got Tim Albrecht quoted. He was the Iowa spokesman for Romney’s 2008 caucus campaign.”
And it always seemed like, whenever the Romney people had rumors they wanted to start about other candidates,
Jonny was their go-to guy to get those rumors in writing in front of a national audience.


"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."


Who benefits most from Sanford meltdown? Californian (that's right) Mitt Romney


"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

Sounds more like Palin was taking a hit at Obama but Politico will look for any opportunity to spin it to divide our camps.

If she doesn’t run she’ll back the Republican nominee.

Dream on Politico.

“That doesn’t sound like somebody who will be getting on the Bachmann bandwagon.”

More like she’s about to get in bed with Perry. Bummer, I’d rather she her run.

Wrote Palin: "Leaders are expected to give good speeches, but leadership is so much more than oratory. Real leadership requires deeds even more than words."

Sounds more like a slam on Urkel.

Or as he is known in the Harry Potter books, He Who Leads From Behind.

I have about 500 bookmarks of posts of people saying she's not running to respond to when she declares.

I wonder if they like a nice Chianti with their crow?

If Perry runs my bet will be on Perry/Palin. This combination will bring back our economy and Palin will put the finish touches on King Obama, the dictator.

Bachmann has not accomplishing anything because she will not bend over and assume “the position” to the democrats..

Thats why I’m voting for her..

You know like the other candidates, except Caine, have done..
Caines problem is he worked for the federal reserve...
Caine being appointed to the “fed” has ten foot pole marks all over it..

On second thought maybe he(caine) wouldn’t make a good Veep..
In that case I choose........ Ron Paul...
There would be no assassinations.. for sure..

Gee Jonathan,

I think she was slamming O’Bama...not Bachmann or any of the other GOP hopefuls.

Sounds like Sarah’s talking about Obama, who is the person the Republicans need to defeat.

It is Politico so consider the source.

In this case, FRiend, it is OK. Look at the last sentence of the excerpt again.

Wrote Palin: "Leaders are expected to give good speeches, but leadership is so much more than oratory. Real leadership requires deeds even more than words."

Then reconsider The Undefeated.

Palin is a doer of deeds, not a mere reader of screeds.

It's all good.

Cheers!

When it comes to the possibility of competing with Sarah Palin. The Palin haters like Polutico are truly “Running Scared” that the American people might choose her over Obama.

Heck with the troublemakers at Politico. In the end, each of these ladies would prefer each other over that flop earred Marxist Obama.

Of course Politico would never even think Palin might have been talking about Obama. Idiots.

I'm sure Bachman has done some community organizing and voted present at least once. Easily qualifies her for President.
