Sheesh...all the NYT was doing was ringing the alarm bells for the RinoCracy.

The RinoCracy-the bipartisan cohort of socialist-crony capitalists has led the country to the brink. They are out of minds and out of ideas. The real question, if there is anything to question, might be whether they have more to lose by being thrown out of leadership than by fomenting internal chaos.

“I believe that Sarah did not support TARP but did take some of the money while she was governor.”

I remember her stating in a speech in Alaska that the state did not receive any federal government money as part of the bailout...Could be mistaken, but I think the speech was in the film “Undefeated”......

There isn't much time? The elections are over a year from now.

Iowa caucuses go in January. Ballot access starts closing in November. Unless you're pushing for a 3rd party run so Palin can be Obama's Perot, you need to realize the window is fast closing.

Reagan didn't announce until November.

After nearly toppling his own party's incumbent president, Reagan was far ahead in the primary polls, polls Palin's "supporters" ignore because they look bad for her. Palin's positioning is not Reaganesque.

She's said she'll announce by the end of September, from what I read on FR. Not much time??

She realizes there's not much time. I don't know why her "supports" don't. One problem is she's missed one forum (DeMint invited her), 4 debates and missing a fifth coming Monday.

“But SHE SAID THOSE WORDS. It may have been canned BS fed to her by some campaign lackey, but when they came out of her mouth SHE OWNED THEM!!!....”

Another good point.....As a Palin supporter I have to agree that hurts.....McCain was a thorn in her side.....Brought her to National prominence very quickly, but the association is a negative.....I believe that will all be forgotten (except for the diehards like yourself) as she continues with her own message this time.....I have no doubt Palin if elected will stay on message and clean up like she did in Alaska......

Pretty frustrating, isn't it? When people can't understand that past is past, even if it's 3 years in the past (the Couric interview) or less than 2 years in the past (the strong support for McCain's Senate primary campaign).

Imagine how frustrating it is for those who support Perry. On FR, with many posters, past is NEVER past for Perry. Even 20 years in the past.

“She supported it in the Katie Couric interview. What her motivations were is really beside the point. She publicly supported TARP.”

If so, she was wrong.....

So, you can change your mind, but when it comes to Palin?
On FR, Perry is not allowed to change his mind. Not even 20 years ago.

Great points on post #213 and I am with you all the way....No doubt Palin overshadowed McCain, and I think the 20,000 plus crowds will show up again (showing once and for all why they were there in the first place) when she announces.....

Employers should just hire back -- as contractors,if necessary -- the millions of laid-off middle-aged white males who were forced to train their Indian replacements.

That, and start jailing executing CEOs who fed this "globalist" crock to us. They should be shot, drowned, hung, drawn and quartered, disemboweled, burned at the stake and then really hurt.

Start with Jack Welch and all of his proteges; then go on to the entire McKinsey consultancy.

And don't forget the staff of most U.S. business schools.

Cheers!

Former President George H. W. Bush came from a much higher strata of the US elite than either President Roosevelt or Wilson.

You might want to re-think that last one.

Bush went to Yale; Wilson was President of Princeton.

Cheers!

“Being opposed to crony capitalism (government shouldn’t be picking winners and losers) is a conservative principle that many democrats could agree with.”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Democrats would never believe that it IS a conservative principle, they imagine that Republicans are all neck deep in crony capitalism and democrats are all fighting against it. They must all train in an old time movie projection booth, they are so adept at projecting their own faults on others.

Actually a lot of Republicans are quite comfortable with crony capitalism as long as it lines their own pockets anyway. Not every Republican is a genuine champion of the free market by a long shot.

I couldn’t help it. After I realized he was unreasonable I had to keep going even after I had told him we were wasting each others time. It was fun for me.

She would make an excellent thorn in the side of Congress and the President by working from the outside.

I don't agree. The power that she has now is because she might be president. Her power to work from the outside would be greatly diminished if she doesn't run.

It is Corporatism, here is the definition:

Corporatism, also known as corporativism, is a system of economic, political, or social organization that involves division of the people of society into corporate groups, such as agricultural, business, ethnic, labor, military, patronage, or scientific affiliations, on the basis of common interests.[1]

In 1881, Pope Leo XIII commissioned theologians and social thinkers to study corporatism and provide a definition for it. In 1884 in Freiburg, the commission declared that corporatism was a "system of social organization that has at its base the grouping of men according to the community of their natural interests and social functions, and as true and proper organs of the state they direct and coordinate labor and capital in matters of common interest."[2]

Corporatism is based theoretically upon the interpretation of a community as an organic body.[3][4] The term corporatism is based on the Latin root "corp" meaning "body".[4]

One of the main types of corporatism is economic tripartism involving negotiations between business, labour, and state interest groups to establish economic policy.[5]

Corporatism is related to the sociological concept of structural functionalism.[6] Corporate social interaction is common within kinship groups such as families, clans and ethnicities.[7] Aside from humans, certain animal species are known to exhibit strong corporate social organization, such as penguins.[8][9]

Corporatist types of community and social interaction are common to many ideologies, including: absolutism, capitalism, conservatism, fascism, liberalism, progressivism, reactionism, socialism, and syndicalism.[10]

Because her party has agitated for the wholesale deregulation of money in politics and the unshackling of lobbyists, these will be heard in some quarters as sacrilegious words.

The only reason that lobbyists can profit in Washington is because the government is no longer restrained by the Constitution. A Constitutional government would not have the unlimited power to make or break a corporation, so the lobbyists would not be needed to defend their employers or persuade the government to crush the competition.

I’m too busy being angry at Reagan for being a democrat, voting for FDR, and being a union boss to have time to be mad about Palin’s and Perry’s flip flops.
