Palin to Rip "Crony Capitalism" in Iowa Speech

DES MOINES, Iowa -- Though she won't be a candidate when she delivers a major address at a tea party rally in Iowa on Saturday, Sarah Palin will make it clear that she if enters the presidential race later this month she will vociferously challenge Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s engrained image of solidarity with the tea party movement.

In her speech at the bucolic National Balloon Classic field in Indianola, Palin will lean on loaded phrases like “crony capitalism” and “permanent political class” in laying out her view of the U.S. political system’s deep-rooted ills, according to a source close to Palin and familiar with the content of the speech.

Though she will not call Perry out by name, Palin’s carefully couched rhetoric will leave the impression that she may soon draw more overt attention to one of the Texan’s potential vulnerabilities as a candidate: his history of doling out plum positions and other benefits to generous campaign donors during his nearly 11-year tenure as the nation’s longest serving governor.

More cliche's. EVERYTHING Sarah says is “of substance”. Do you read her Facebook posts? She is brilliant as well as being a beautiful grandma. Many women have a problem with that, pure jealousy.

[DJ MacWoW]

You may be surprised at what I do know.

Not likely. You never post anything of import. You simply spew hatred.

[faucetman]

Death panels.

Crony capitalism.

Drill baby drill!

You betcha!

Lipstick!

[normy]

Good because Rick Perry is going to be going after Obama. He will give a slight reference to Palin but hit Obama over and over.

If he goes after Palin's record,or lack thereof she's toast.

[DJ MacWoW]

-you hate anyone who may point out that Palin may not be the perfect person some here on FR

No. I'm tired of trolls. And you troll Palin threads. And all you spew are MSM talking points.

Sarah Palin was paid $1 million for each episode of Sarah Palin’s Alaska.

In spite of what the other poster said about Sarah Palin’s Alaska being cancelled or not renewed, I heard that she was asked to make additional episodes but Sarah turned down the offer. Perhaps she has other plans?

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

My problem is not with Palin, my problem is with those who refuse to see the reality of the situation. Palin is not a goddess and does not deserve this kind of adoration. She is not a savior and she is no more capable of leading this country out of the wilderness that any number of other people. She is another flawed human being and needs to be recognized as that.

Picking the right GOP candidate is critical.
Do you want another Bob Dole rerun ?

[normy]

Sorry buddy but almost every member of my family and extended family have attended TEA Party rally’s and not one is voting for or even likes Palin anymore.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

All the GOP candidates are being vetted. Sarah is not a candidate.

[faucetman]

You need to get a hearing aid grandma if you hear platitudes. I know you are just about BASHING Palin, pure and simple, mostly “simple”.

You have no credibility.

[winoneforthegipper]

If a repub went after Palin, uh they would be toast....that’s the reality.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

NBC sent Michael Isikoff off to Alaska to dig deep.
He came up empty.

What’s holding her back ?

[winoneforthegipper]

I would rather go down fighting than smile as I eat a banana!

[CA Conservative]

You mean the one where he promised NOT to run for President and QUIT? That re-election?

I really don't think you want to bring up the issue of quitting...

[healy61]

You are getting close to honestly expressing your distaste for her, , , I think.

[Raider Sam]

No, he never promised not to run. He said he couldnt think of anything better than being gov of Texas. the rest of his comments on whether to run or not were after he had been re-elected, and his typical answer was “not at this time.”

People can change their mind on things like that, and unforeseen events can play an impact in those decisions.

If he goes after Palin's record,or lack thereof she's toast.

yeah, you're a legendary authority on her record. I've seen it first hand...LMAO.

[faucetman]

Palin people would be out denying this report already if not true. They are not bashful about straightening out the press.

[Clyde5445]

“Did Perry promise not to run for President if re-elected? Is he running for President? What does that make him?”

I know I know it rhymes with flier. :)

LOL
