Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin challenged GOP presidential front-runner Mitt Romney to furnish his tax returns and supporting documents that would prove he created the 100,000 jobs he claims he did while CEO of Bain Capital.
“Governor Romney has claimed to have created 100,000 jobs at Bain and people are wanting to know is there proof of that claim and was it U.S. jobs created for United States citizens?” Palin told Fox News’ Sean Hannity.
Palin said that transparency was needed as Romney would likely be targeted by Democrats on this issue if he were to become the Republican nominee.

Posted on January 12, 2012 at 12:38amIve been saying this since nearly the beginning….it isnt just the GOP establishment pushing
Report Post »Willard McRomney. The liberals and the Barry O Administration are also pushing him as the
chosen nominee. There’s a reason for that.
C’mon people wake up. If we allow McRomney to just waltz through and get the nomination
then we’ve doomed this nation to another Obama term. Frankly the USA wont survive that.
Santorum & Huntsman are establishment guys like McRomney. The only 2 wildcards are
Ron Paul & Gingrich. As much as Paul’s message is appealing on many levels, he cant
win. Gingrich is the only one who can go head-to-head with Obama and win.

Posted on January 12, 2012 at 5:01amYou base your voting for people running for elected office on financial success, and not good moral character.
___________________________
Good financial success is a HUGE reason why Romney would make the perfect POTUS to fix the economy. He’s had success in the private sector, in the state of Massachusetts and with the Olympic Games. He knows what the hell he’s doing and with a country in dire straights—FINANCIALLY, he’s what we need.

Posted on January 12, 2012 at 5:04amJJ stick to what I know all right born and raised in Detroit his father was my governor for three terms guess what his father was a moderate Republican who worked with the unions at the time that was called the big three that I know to be fact. And that my friend was in the Jimmy Hoffa era in fact as a child going to school we would take field trips to the river Roush plant in downtown Detroit, and at that time living in the neighborhood the Romney’s lived a lavish lifestyle that is fact. So you throw out half-truths about your candidate without backing your statements up! There you go again! Just one question though if Newt Gingrich is what you make them out to be then why is the establishment throwing him under the bus and along what Wall Street backing Mitt Romney which they have from the start? Who would you say the real progressive is?

He’s got more baggage than all the other candidates combined. And he’s not even conservative, he’s a progressive just like O. I don‘t like Romney because he’s also a progressive and a flip flopper, but at least he’s got a chance against Obama and the polls back that up. The only two who do well against Obama are Romney and Paul so if you’re going to pick someone soley on electibility then you need to ditch Gringrich.

Report Post »That being said, I think that some of the “flip flopper” hits on Romney are unfair. One of Romney’s supporters is Congressman Jason Chafetz — the number 2 rated conservative in the House of Representatives. Chafetz was a Democrat and an outspoken supporter of Dukakis in 1988. Guess what? Chafetz changed his political point of view. Education. It happens. People learn. On that note, I hope that Ron Paul’s candidacy will educate a lot of people about “Austrian” economics.

Let’s talk morality for a moment. It is moral to earn money. It is moral to spend that money as you see fit. It is moral to be married and faithful in that marriage. It is moral to be more intelligent and wealthy than someone else. It is perfectly moral to be raised with privilege.
It is not moral to covet the possessions and lifestyle of another (Commandment #10). It is not moral to believe that after having been paid for the hours you worked that you are somehow entitled to more hours than your employer is willing to give you. It is immoral to think that making money from your own company is evil if your employees haven’t been given as much as they want. It is immoral to slander a moral man with an exemplary family because he had more than you growing up or was able to live a “lavish” lifestyle.
Poor people don’t provide jobs for anyone. Wealthy people do. And if it wasn’t for wealthy people who create and manage opportunity for themselves, there would be no opportunity for you. If you resent their wealth then by all means work hard and become rich and then show them how wonderful it is to give away all your money. Class warfare is immoral. God allowed Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, David, and Solomon to experience great wealth all while serving him. Job got to experience great wealth twice. Don’t be angry at the servant who received 5 talents and made them ten, when you choose to bury your one in the dirt for safekeeping. For that is truly immoral.

I disagree, it has to be Santorum simply because he never supported an individual mandate. Santorum also has a better chance of taking out Romney. The reason Newt is attacking Romney in this manner is because they have held alot of similar positions. We need someone who can go after Romney on Romneycare and global warming, Newt can’t.
I don’t know why nobody attacks Romney for working with John Holdren on setting CO2 caps in Massachusetts. For everyone that doesn‘t know John Holdren is the radical enviormentalist who is Obama’s science czar.

And to boot, she has done more in her work term in Alaska to promote reform and fight corruption than many others, like Hollywood, and political consultants who’ve never run for anything, or held public office.
After all, we’re hearing every day what Whoopie Pie, or Arrogant Huffington, or Karl Strove think, so I think Sarah, who has not forgotten what it means to be the American everyman(woman), deserves to be heard as much as any of them.

as in “ouch, your nastiness is disturbingly juvenile”.
Romney is slick-

as long as it benefits Willard Romney…very similar to the slimebag in the White House.
He probably has “President of the United States” written on his bucket list.
Sarah is NOT interested in his conservative charade.

You will feel the need to take a bath after viewing it.
The man is a liar, he’s slick & slimy, inarticulate-
he’s using the word “Conservative”
to snatch & grab the title of “Commander-in-Chief”.
It’s so clear to me now-
why he flips & fumbles his words while speaking.
His brain can’t kick in
because
his lying mouth can’t reconcile with his liberal past .

with no stammering, no slobbering.

because THAT’S all that matters.

and approaches it with reasonable logic
to form an opinion and search for the best solution.

It’s a conservative feather in his cap.
I wish he would do a campaign ad thanking them for that tag
and then reiterate that Americans ARE also ANGRY at the sad state of America
and that they, out of everyone have a RIGHT to be angry-
that puts HIM in FINE, patriotic company

He needs to make lemonade out of their rotten lemons-
nobody does it better, with more wit & resolve than Newt Gingrich.
Yeah, we are NO longer complacent, we are ALL angry.
Anger processed & directed the right way, within reason, can be soberly productive-
the Tea Party can vouch for that !

But once again we don’t have no investigative reporters that would look at New Hampshire and gives the results of one then people when in voted regardless of who they voted for but if they win in as a Democrat did they come back out with their little pink or purple piece of paper reclaiming a Democratic status. I know it may not matter to you but it does me because the way I see it I was against it before I was for it.

Posted on January 12, 2012 at 12:23amWhy does the Republican establishment insist on pushing it’s choice of a candidate? Normal people would learn not to run a candidate that the majority of Republicans simply reject. We well could have another Bob Dole or John McCain situation if they force Romney on us. I agree with Sarah that Romney is the weakest candidate running for the nomination. He simply does not have leadership qualities and he really “puts people off”. He really has no “job creating” history and he is a proven “Flip-Flopper” on important issues.

Posted on January 12, 2012 at 12:40amSorry Quencher, you can’t be more wrong. Newt is the establishment candidate. The Super PAc, sonors, and behind the scene political money shakers who brought McCain and the Bushes, is the same behind Newt. Actually Newt was a major player in that group. The more I research on him and the group he represented, I am finding some sick stuff. Palins husband edorsed Newt and it makes me wonder. Newts X starting singin and esquire got an 8 page article on him. He is a rat and this is what she says about him,”He believes that what he says in public and how he lives don’t have to be connected,” she says. “If you believe that, then yeah, you can run for president.” I don’t know how Mitt was actually able to raise enough support to over power this group. Newt has member that are purely Islamic and only buy companies up according to Sharia Law. No joke. Arcapita Inc. is the name. Check out the article then check out source watch for Newts Super PAC. I bet Mitt doesn’t win because of how powerful of an influence these groups are. They are the kind who have sold their souls, and while I support Mitt,I am afraid he might be knocked off by this group. Just watch.

And you feel this way because in comparison to Romney, Newt is not a flip-flopper? Because his anti- capitalistic comments against Romney reflect deep seated conservatism? Oh wait, maybe you respect Gingrich for his deeper abiding faith in God, vows, and oaths? Because Romney‘s views on global climate change are to the left of Gingrich’s couch? Maybe Gingrich is your choice because he is smart enough to coordinate his Super-pac’s efforts (illegal) and Romney has only seen one of the commercials put out by his? Maybe you like Gingrich for organizing himself off the ballot in Virginia. Who needs that rotten little commonwealth anyway, right? So after all… Gingrich had the fortitude to abandon the ballot as a political statement regarding unfair primary laws? His foresight reveals his dizzying intellect?
No? OK then, so I get it, Gingrich is your man because he is adept at repeating Massachusetts Moderate, a phrase that for most of us we could never say ten times in row really fast? No, I am sure you are above such petty comparisons, what really has you in his corner is that Newt is truly the only seasoned Lawmaker and Congressional leader in the race, and surely all the great solutions to our problems will be generated by the legislature of this great country. Eh?

She is correct actually– she’s not demanding in a sharp tone, she is merely suggesting and I gather her position to do is to put the info out there so that Obama doesnt bring it up in the future.
However, there is an obvious and simple math equation to consider.
Domino’s Pizza was sold to Bain Capital in 1998 and went public in 2004. Currently the company reports 145,000 employees. Staples began in 1985 and reports current roster of 90,000.
Sports Authority reports 460 stores with my est for a big box store 30 employee (low est) equals 13,800 employees….Yep, he lied— he’s created OR SAVED closer to 300,000 jobs.
Y’all need to see this link, Bain Capitol is extraodinarily successful at creating, sustain, and merging companies into successes. This is truly the business man we need to lead our nation.

Would these clowns prefer the government come in and create regulations that will prevent failing companies from laying off people? Would they prefer that governments place limits as to how much profits Romney’s company could make for his investors who were taking a risk with an investment to save a failing company. Better yet maybe they would prefer to have regulations in place to prevent private investment. Maybe these BIG GOVERNMENT HACKS think that the government should be the ones to make decisions as to who can invest in failing companies. I am sure this would generate alot of pay outs to politicians to get deals approved. Gingrich and Perry I am sure would be at the front of the line with their hands out.

How in the world can Mitt say that he’s created 100,000 jobs when, in reality, he spent most of his time DESTROYING them, just so he can make a quick substantial profit at the expense of Main Street? Perhaps that may explain that statement, “I like to fire people,” that he made not too long ago?

Posted on January 12, 2012 at 12:24amSo you put on your Anti-Romney glasses and had a long hard look at the facts. Ergo your comment.
Try again, except ask yourself questions like these. In cases where Bain broke up companies, were they already facing financial ruin? How many succeeded with Bain’s assistance versus those that were destined to fail? Was Romney a typical venture capitalist or did he score above the average. Was Bain capital considered a failure or a success?
Or… Have you been swayed in your views by a preexisting desire to not see Romney as the republican candidate? Are you simply zealous in protecting your own favored candidate and will seize on any opportunity to diminish the front-runner in the vain hope of catapulting your nominee to the front of the pack?
Then ask if you really think it prudent of so called right wing candidates to disparage Romney’s financial accomplishments by trudging out a parade of potentially educationally-challenged factory workers who made the mistake in life of assuming that whatever their company was providing them in the past they were somehow entitled to continue to receive in perpetuity? Do you firmly believe that companies that offer to pay their employees a certain amount of money for a certain amount of work done in a certain amount of hours, are by force of their employees tenacity at their jobs somehow then obligated to provide their employees with the exact same opportunity until at such time as the employee deems requisite? Well…?

Have you ever dealt with a product or idea you had and tried to bring a product to market, the next time invent help runs an advertisement go sit in and see how much they take or are willing to leave you with your product idea meaning your percentage of the company. The question remains of the remaining 77% of the companies that were profitable what percentage was lent out to foreign countries for production and then return to this country. Of the 22% that did happen to fail that is a mere write off on tax forms and if anybody has anybody to thank it should be Mitt Romney for what Newt Gingrich did in the house to lower the corporate tax structure in which allowed Mitt Romney to profit handsomely.
