Palin To Romney: Show Us Your Tax Returns, Prove You Created 100K Jobs. "...a come to Jesus moment."

Palin: Mitt needs Bain show & tell
By: MJ Lee

Sarah Palin suggested Wednesday that Mitt Romney has brought his Bain problems on himself by not being transparent and offering no documentation for the claim that he created 100,000 net jobs and refusing to release his tax returns.

“Gov. Romney has claimed to have created a 100,00 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? … And that’s fair,” Palin told Sean Hannity of Fox News when asked about Rick Perry’s “vulture” caplitalism charge against Romney. “That’s not negative campaigning — that’s fair to get a candidate to be held accountable to what’s being claimed.”

Palin added, “Nobody should be surprised that things about Bain Capital and maybe tax returns not being released yet and maybe some record not being as transparently provided to the public as voters deserve to see right now — don’t be surprised that that’s’ all coming out today.”

Citing President Barack Obama’s “machine” and the billion dollars his campaign will have behind him, the former Alaska governor also suggested that it’s better for the Republican hopefuls to face a barrage of attacks from their own GOP rivals, rather than deal with them for the first time during the general election.

“It’s kind of like a come to Jesus moment for some of these candidates, and that’s healthy and that’s good,” she said. “It is rough and tumble. It’s not beanbag, as Romney and others have called it, and these guys have to be prepared for this.”

All of the crap spewed on both sides; enough to fertilize the entire California central valley.

Can't have politicians speaking the truth about each other, wouldn't be prudent.

A Navy officer has inflicted a loose cannon on the Republican party.

http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/loose-cannon.html

From the 17th century to the 19th century, wooden warships carried cannon as their primary offensive weapons. In order to avoid damage from their enormous recoil when fired they were mounted on rollers and secured with rope. A loose cannon was just what it sounds like, that is, a cannon that had become free of its restraints and was rolling dangerously about the deck.

Being a greedy vulture capitalist is good!!! It's as American as shooting wolves from a helicopter! Mittens represents "the best" in American business where one can enrich themselves no matter who it destroys...survival of the richest and fittest...it's so Darwinian. Ooops!



Once again Grifterella has to stick her nose into things and is a day late and many sense short. There's a big movement going on to tone down the criticisms of Mittens riches and how he earned it. Rushbo has said so, so had Rupert...thus it must be done. But then there's Caribou Barbie in exile up in Alaska...thousands of miles from the action. Becoming irrelevant is such hard work!

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Obviously, she didn't like the milquetoast support Mitt gave her and McCain back in 2008, so she wants a little bit o' payback!!
