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 Gingrichs 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 Romneys 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 Romneys 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.
I watched Sarah Palin on Hannity last-night. Hannity tried his best to get Palin to speak against Perry, she would not do it. I really think that she pro-Perry.
First Dude “went rouge” and endorsed Newt.
;)
Now that would be the dream ticket. Closed primaries would help this a lot.
Everything else aside PLEASE do not compare Mitt Romney with John Gavin. Those are fighting words.
;)
In politics, if you do not define yourself, then you will be defined.
Romney has made the claim of having created 100,000 jobs. Without him defining what that means, as you can see, there are various ways as to how his political opponents can claim that he went about that without outright denying he actually did that.
If he isn’t prepared to defend his record, his opponents will use his record against him.
“She should endorse someone else ASAP.”
Why?
To help stop Romney.
“To help stop Romney”
Oh. So which one does she give her magical endorsement to in order to help stop Romney?
Lean and mean. Thats what some of us hope he will do to the federal bureaucracy.
Yes. Agreed.
That’s what we conservatives say we want, a downsized government that is focused on its core mission also known as its Constitutional requirements.
And when we downsize government we will have a better private sector and more freedom.
Endorsements by influential people make a difference: that is reality, no matter how much you mis-label it “magic”.
And she can give it to any conservative still in the race.
I don’t think it matters who Palin endorses . If she is so powerful let her endorse fat boy and see what happens . . Newt already has the fringe Palin can add nothing .Come on Palin don’t snipe from the sidelines , step up .
Who are you to say who is "corrupt"? Yeah, let's have capitalism, but let's tell people they can only prosper and succeed if they're fair to "the American worker" because its really about fairness and even though you aren't doing anything illegal you have to be fair because fairness is the most important thing so if you want to be successful you have to do it fairly. The brainwashing really worked on you. You're making the Marxist argument that you can only get rich if you do the way we say.
Romney is a target-rich politician, its not necessary to DENIGRATE CAPITALISM to defeat him.
Stop playing the game of the Left and discourage Newt from giving Obama a conservative voice to defeat us.
Favorite Gavin movie: "Back Street". I cry every time.
Happy new year to you. And I’ll try to remember that it doesn’t bother you when I illuminate the nothingness of socialism.
Moral capitalism is what made this country great...the Romneys of the world are here to rip it all down. Capitalism without any morals will require strong government regulation to control...congrats on your endorsement of anything goes capitalism and the coming national fascist nanny state! Great job!
But don't let me stop you, and many others here, from voting for the "good looking" "R" with the fake hair, fake life and pretty much complete liberal record across the board....good luck with that and reliving your high school prom king election. (Things just never change do they...shaking my head.)
Palin undoubtedly was less than impressed by the Suits in the oil business whom she encountered while on the commission. Tio meet these guys is to realize how overpaid they are, how little they do to earn their huge salaries, and to conclude they could all be replaced by their executive secretaries.

It was true two hours ago and it is true now. Palin has not committed to anything since she committed to quitting.
