Palin on Greta saying the staff connection to Gardasil IS crony capitalism and that will come back to potentially bite. She must have missed the part of the $5000. contribution was not much of a buy.
Merck will be drip drip drip for Perry.
Whole deal stinks.
The 5K is her proof?
Weak.
Wow, she’s burning her bridges behind her!
I guess a lot of FReepers were getting another beer when Perry made that point.
Crony capitalism isn't measured just on campaign donations. There are favors done, payoffs under the table, money placed in offshore accounts, job offers for family or friends, etc.
It seems to me inappropriate for Sarah Palin to be bashing anyone in the debates, much less accusing Perry of ‘crony capitalism’ until she announces. Let her get on stage for a few debates and put forth her positions and confront her opponents and face their questions if she’s going to enter. In the meanwhile, she is just another talking head on Fox who used to be a VP candidate and who is tantalizing her fans with the possibility that she will run. I’m getting as tired of her act as I am of Bachmann’s. Yeah, I know that’s blasphemy around here, but it’s growing more tiresome every day.
I missed the Greta show at its earlier time, but it’s running again in about 5 minutes from the writing of this post here, and I’ll watch it.
Just saw that on Greta’s rerun.
I think it is good she is, to use her term, keeping him accountable. This is not one of Rick Perry’s best decisions, and this situation needs to be vetted. Might as well do it now while it’s still inside the Republican party.
