Palin urges Romney to Release Tax Returns, Provide Proof he Created 100,000 Jobs at Bain Capital
Big Government ^ | January 11, 2012

Posted on 01/12/2012 2:00:36 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

Former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has called for Gov. Mitt Romney to release his tax returns, as well as the data that could substantiate his claim of having created 100,000 jobs as CEO of Bain Capital.

Romney has resisted releasing his tax returns, and his campaign has thus far refused to provide the hard proof to back up his claims about Bain.

“Governor Romney has claimed to have created 100,000 jobs at Bain, and people are wanting to know: is there proof?” Palin told Sean Hannity on Fox News.

Rick Tyler, former Gingrich aide and head of Newt Gingrich’s Super PAC, has already accused Romney of having created those 100,000 jobs in Asia and Mexico. Earlier this week, Big Government pointed out that Romney’s claim to have created 100,000 jobs contrasts with claims he made during his 1994 U.S. Senate campaign, when he claimed to have created 10,000 jobs at Bain. Romney retired from Bain Capital in 1999.

Palin said that Romney needed to come clean about his record, given the likelihood that Democrats would probe the tax issue and Romney’s tenure at Bain if he were to become the Republican nominee.

The former Alaska governor also told Hannity that she did not think it was inevitable that Romney would become the Republican nominee.

“The majority has not yet coalesced around one,” she said, adding that conservatives were still searching for the right “free market, pro-military” candidate to back.

Rush is a slave to those powers outside of his own will which determine for him the words that come out of his mouth.
Ok sure. And you are a slave to Jockey Corp who forces you to wear clean underwear.


Nooo Sam, I don't think so. Based on the posts I've seen from 'reasonisfaith', I kinda doubt they wear clean underwear very often, lol

(just kidding with you rIf, welll maybe not ;)

Oh, well done, incorporate a character into the discussion that was created by Oliver Stone to smear America's financial sector the way he tried to destroy our military with his anti-Vietnam movies.

Never stop using the weapons of our enemies...it really works. Honestly. I'm not kidding.

Imagine the media reporting that Rush/clear channel won’t run anti-romney ads. Newt would find more voters when more and more people see what is going on with the media on the right. I like Santorum, but will vote for any conservative who’s taking on romney or paul and then obama.

I love you, CW, and no one wanted Perry to be The One more than me, but I'm afraid he "vetted" himself right back to Austin. I'm still praying he works a miracle in South Carolina. Someone needs to tell him that destroying his business credibility by attacking Mitt this way, is not gonna do it.

I've only heard him make the case that he turned Texas into a business and opportunity dynamo in the same "inherited mess" Obama whines about, once. He desperately needs to pivot and drive that home. He can win with it.

Are you listening to Rush Now? Even though Newt said he shouldn’t have used Bain, Rush contines to harp on old news protecting romney. When is he going to talk about romneys problems & I don’t mean nit picking, but reallly looking at romneys two faces. Here is my letter to Rush this morning.

Rush,

I’ve been on various blogs writing about you as well as other media people. We can’t believe you sold out to rino, romney.  No you did not endorse him, but remember, we are not like the sheep democrats, we can read between the lines. You say what romney did wrong, but then defend him and look for something to critize a conservative about. This is what we expect from cnn, msnbc,.....not you. We thought you would always stand for conservatism, but we apparently were wrong. When people accused you (my own family) of just making money & not being principaled, I defended you.  Now I know I am wrong. You have joined the evil side and kicked us conservatives to the side of the road.  There is something worse than losing money; losing your reputation and values.  By now the whole world knows that Clear Channel owns Bain Capital & EIB.  You are a capitalist, so make money, but you lost a lot of us

So you're defending Romney Deb? The Ionic Zot Cannon is always warmed up and ready for another RomneyBot. As for "incorporating an Oliver Stone character" into the discussion, the fact is Mitt-Witt has a fair amount in common with the fictional Gordon Gekko played by Michael Douglas, and I consider the physical similarity to be one of those ironic jokes that get played on pompous asses like Romney by the cosmos.

Yes, I'm listening to Rush. And Rush is still playing Newt's SuperPAC anti-capitalist anti-Romney ad notwithstanding what it is reported that Newt said at a book signing.

It’s not a matter of Bain controlling Rush.

It’s a matter of Romney not being able to win.

First, he’s a loser who has won only one election and then he proceeded to be a terrible governor. He lost in a senate campaign. He lost to McCain.

And he avoids talking about Bain Capital and has his stooges all over the media attacking anyone who brings the subject up.

Go here: http://www.webcasts.com/kingofbain/

Watch that video and you’ll see that Obama will dismantle Mitt Romney piece by piece by piece.

Yes. That's what the subthread has been about.

Everything else you say is true. Obama will destroy Mittens. Obama's people will destroy everyone else.

Rush doesn’t have that kind of power.

Example:
John McCain. How did we end up that A-hole?

Rush wasn’t rooting for him.

Mitt looks more like John Gavin than Gordon Gekko. And don't threaten me, punk. I defend all the candidates (except Ron Paul & Huntsman) against the self-destructive lunacy that is threatening to lose this election for us.

I am amazed that people who pretend to be conservatives, spend all their time calling everyone a RINO instead of promoting their candidate. It makes me sick.

Shove your Ionic Zot Cannon. What is this, the third grade?

So you're a Romney defender Deb? Is that what you're saying? And I never threaten, I make promises baby, and I deliver.

I am amazed that people who pretend to be conservatives, spend all their time calling everyone a RINO instead of promoting their candidate. It makes me sick.

Well now let's get you on the record here Deb, do you consider Mitt Romney to be a RINO or not? Romney SHOULD make you sick, he certainly makes JimRob sick, and rightly so.

Shove your Ionic Zot Cannon. What is this, the third grade?

No, for you it's just remedial.
