Sarah Palin Praises Rep. Bachmann’s Debate Attacks On Rick Perry’s ‘Crony Capitalism’

video
» 207 comments

Sarah Palin is not Ronald Reagan– that she made clear on tonight’s On the Record, where she delivered her feedback on tonight’s CNN/Tea Party debate. She appeared particularly impressed by Rep. Michele Bachmann, thanking her for going after Texas governor Rick Perry for mandating HPV vaccines for children, which Palin called “crony capitalism” that was healthy to attack, defying Reagan’s 11th Commandment.

Palin began with some general remarks on the debate, noting that “the winner was the Tea Party” for being validated as a significant political contingent, but not picking a specific candidate as a winner. It became clear rather quickly, however, that some candidates pleased her far more than others. She particularly approved of the way Rep. Bachmann went after Gov. Perry for his mandate on HPV vaccines– vaccines that, as governor of Alaska, Palin declined to mandate. She noted that Perry’s former chief of staff was a lobbyist for the pharmaceutical company behind the vaccine, and called that “crony capitalism.”

“That’s good… to call one another out on that,” Palin noted, as was it good to “fight crony capitalism.” “You have to go up against the big guns and they will trying to destroy you,” Palin argued, “I have the bumps and the bruises to prove it.” She predicted that Rep. Bachmann was “going to get crucified by some in the party who say ‘don’t violate Reagan’s 11th Commandment,’” one Palin made clear she had no intention of following herself, as she praised Rep. Bachmann for ignoring it. Palin concluded that the criticism within the Republican Party would strengthen it, as it would force candidates to improve their governing skills in the long term.

    Oh yes now we are all set because Queen Moron has spoken.  Funny how she was so proud to campaign for Perry in his last election and now she is going to throw him under the bus – gee isn’t that similar to what she did to goofy o’donnell – became a crybaby and would not go to the tea party gathering in Iowa if o’donnell was there.  Ya can’t make this stuff up.  Keep on speaking sarie – you look more foolish all the time.

    Gotta hand it to Palin on this one.  Granted, cervical cancer can kill you.  But not giving your daughter the HPV vaccine is a sure-fire way to make sure that your daughter doesn’t have premarital sex.

    Really?  She didn’t care about it before? Tell that to the oil companies in Alaska and the corrupt politicians and bureaucrats were in bed with them.

    http://articles.latimes.com/2008/sep/04/nation/na-palin4

    From the article:

    Days after she was sworn in as governor, Sarah Palin began to clean
    house at the department of natural resources, firing and demoting
    several top officials and eventually appointing a new director at the
    agency that oversees the energy companies that provide the state with
    85% of its revenue.The shake-up was an early sign that this newly
    elected Republican governor was not like any of her predecessors — she
    was determined not to cave in to the energy industry, the state’s
    lifeblood.”

    Unless you’re not paying attention, Palin has always been about doing away with the ” good old boy” mentality. She went after her own party in Alaska. However the bloggers that don’t like Palin only know the facts as provided to them by the Hugo Chavez media. They give the marching orders and they march to them. The media says Obama is brilliant and presto, Obama is brilliant! The media says Palin is an airhead, and presto, Palin is an airhead. However how is that brilliant Obama working out for us? So having said that, the media is not to trustworthy. The only problem here is that 52% of the American population can be led by their nose. So whether it’s Obamas smoke and mirrors or Some other snake oil salesman, these people will againbe led by their nose and the media will convience them again who to vote for . Now that’s our real problem!

    Wow! Sarah Palin for perhaps the first time since McCain tapped her for VP is making some actual sense lately. Amazing! This is not the only thing she has said recently that I agreed with. A little to late in my book. If she had been doing this since day one with conviction, Sarah could have been a 2012 contender. I do question her sincerity. New advisers perhaps? Is this the real Palin? It does make me wonder if Palin plans on running for Senate in Arizona.

    Sarah, if this is how you truly feel, why now? Why should we trust you?

    Kind of late. Hard for me to trash her if this keeps up. I guess better late than never.

    I know the feeling about agreeing with Palin.  From what I have been able to read, she was actually a pretty good governor, even though there are those she pissed off who are still around.  The VP thing was a total disaster though.  McCain’s campaign was poorly run.  I think her heart is in the right place.  I just don’t think she is smart enough to be president.

  • Rex the Wonder God

    She’s not going to run, at least not for the 2012 Republican nomination. I think that’s part of what she’s up to here, polishing her cred as a commentator by going after the front-runner on a vulnerable point (the crony capitalism part at least, and probably the inoculation program for a lot of viewers, particularly Palin fans.

    But she might well leave open for the next 8 months or so at least the possibility that she could run as an independent, because it fits her brand and keeps her relevant. The only reason she would actually run as an independent is if the GOP were to select someone who is bound to lose the general election anyway, like Ron Paul; but since that’s not about to happen — it’s already down to two of the three late-middle-age white guys who arguably have hair as bouffant as hers is — I think she’s going to keep the illusion going as long as she can, maybe even right up to the RNC, and then announce on a Fox News-covered press conference that she’s open to a Draft Palin unanimous call from the RNC, but otherwise she’ll be doing color commentary, on pithy things like how to write a rill oomphy convention speech and how to dress for success. She may be the first ever failed VP candidate to get to make a speech at the RNC, but I tend to doubt it if she keeps making these sorts of appropriate criticisms of the frontrunners.

Tollbooth’s vaccination program was in the same general scheme. The only beneficiary of the program would have been Merck, also a significant Tollbooth benefactor. He is a complete fraud.

    Mrs. Bachmann has not been treated fairly by the media, but her message resonates nonetheless.  Here is an interesting article that compares the treatment her religious beliefs have received compared to others.   An interesting read.  
    http://www.thecactusland.com/2009/11/michelle-bachmanns-religon.html

  • Valkyrie101

    One thing for sure, if Sarah is saying anything against Perry, that is calculated. She may have determined, like Rove, O’Donnell and others, that Perry would not be that strong in a general election. Thus, she will be supporting Bachman. Problem is, Bachman can not beat Mitt. Of course she would like to see Perry go after Mitt. In fact, that is Perry’s purpose because the tea party does not want to be voting for Mitt in 2012. Mitt is not perceived to be a true tea partier, and he would provide no coattails for tea party candidates running in congressional and state elections.

    If the republicans nominate Mitt, look for Sarah to move the tea party show to a third party. And that is what Sarah is undecided about.

  • The Real Royal Emperor

    That’s a very well-crafted analytical model, and I suspect you are correct. Thank you.

  • Valkyrie101

    The notion of a third party tea party run might seem abohorrent to republicans, but if Mitt is nominated, there will be no way for the tea party to have a voice in the next election. (Other than voting against Obama). And everybody knows that Mitt is not going to beat Obama. So the tea party gets nothing by supporting Mr. leveraged buy-out, but if Sarah runs, with Rudy, the tea party could establish itself for elections to come with good coattails for potentially electing candidates all over the US.

    Palin weighing in and Bachmann attacking Perry is great news for Mitt Romney. This electability poll favoring Perry as more electible will change.  Minds will change once Perry is fully vetted and the attacks keep coming. Crony Capitalism is right. He has rewarded his contributors and supporters with cushy jobs in his administration in Texas. Perry looked worse in this debate than the 1st one. The immigration issue and the mandatory innoculation of young girls made him look small. At the end of the day, Romney is the obvious choice for the nomination and the presidency. Nominate Perry and you’ll have real problems taking states in the Mid-West, PA, Ohio and forget about  the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and the entire Pacific Coast.

    Fact: a Canadian has a long life expectancy than a American.The report, accompanied by maps depicting longevity rates in every part of the country, shows that in 1996 Canadians’ average life expectancy at birth was 78.6 years (up from 73 years in 1970), with men living, on average, for 75.7 years and women for 81.4 years. Among industrialized nations, Canada ranks third in life expectancy behind Switzerland and Japan, and well ahead of the United States, which ranks eleventh. While there are sharp discrepancies in some regions, the report also shows the life expectancy for nearly 99 per cent of Canadians to be within 2.8 years of the national average. According to the latest statistics from the National Center for Health
    Statistics the average American life expectancy rose to above 78 for the first
    time in our history. This country lags behind about 30 other countries in
    estimated life span. These figures cover the period through 2006, which is the
    latest period for which they are available.

    For a $1 million annual gig at Fox, you would think that Roger Ailes would require that she would on occasion appear on set. Even when she stole Mitt Romney’s thunder in New Hampshire, she did not appear on set in the interview with Chris Wallace on FoxNewsSunday, while eveyone who appears on the show has to be on set.

    Plagarising [sic] , is plagarising [sic] .  Incorperating facts into your OWN original text is not plagarising [sic] . Lifting entire uncited passages from The Canadian Encyclopedia on this thead and from Wikipedia  on the Stewart thread is plagarising[sic] .
     
    An example :
     
    “Plagiarism is defined in dictionaries as the “wrongful appropriation,” “close imitation,” or “purloining and publication” of another author’s “language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions,” and the representation of them as one’s own original work as by not crediting the author .”

    12voltman1 Said  Fact: a Canadian has a long life expectancy than a American.The report, accompanied by maps depicting longevity rates in every part of the country, shows that in 1996 Canadians’ average life expectancy at birth was 78.6 years (up from 73 years in 1970), with men living, on average, for 75.7 years and women for 81.4 years. Among industrialized nations, Canada ranks third in life expectancy behind Switzerland and Japan, and well ahead of the United States, which ranks eleventh. While there are sharp discrepancies in some regions, the report also shows the life expectancy for nearly 99 per cent of Canadians to be within 2.8 years of the national average. According to the latest statistics from the National Center for Health
    Statistics the average American life expectancy rose to above 78 for the first
    time in our history. This country lags behind about 30 other countries in
    estimated life span. These figures cover the period through 2006, which is the
    latest period for which they are available.

     No . That pretty much looks like the “purloining and publication” of another author’s “language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions,” and the representation of them as one’s own original work as by not crediting the author .” Why do dislike honesty so vehemently ?

    This LOOKS LIKE the final proof that SP will not run. She will stay with her lucrative job as commentator, and let her doppelganger, Bachmann, take the risks of actually running. Remember, the PAY of being president 24/7/365 is less than half the pay of criticizing the president 15 minutes per week from the comfort of your own home.
     
    SP can continue that gig for years. Sure, it won’t be all limelight and glitz, but she can still show up at rallies and conventions, though I doubt that either Perry or Romney would have her as the nominating speaker. Perry, because Palin is now dissing him, and Romney because he is the opposite of what she is selling.

    Well, I personally think Palin and Bachmann should double team me. You can tell Bachmann hasn’t had sex in years, she looks sick and miserable, but still hot. Palin is no longer the milf she once was, but she’s still doable. That’s my take on this article.

    Thought about it. Decided that any religion that refuses HEAVEN to others simply because they were borne in a place like Saudi Arabia, where proselytizing is forbidden, or North Korea, where no religion is allowed, or India, where the dominant religions are Hindu and Islam, is a greedy,selfish, evil religion whose followers probably belong in hell, themselves.
    The one exception I make for that is anyone who has enough of a conscience to devote his/her life to bringing The Word to those people who are denied it. I think it is unnecessary because God could not be that cruel, but if you think it is necessary and you are not in one of those places RIGHT NOW, then you are the worst possible example of a Christian.

    I normally agree with Palin and I think she has been treated very unfairly.  Blaming her for some mentally ill guy shooting a Congresswoman?  Really?

    However, she is proving her critics right with this “analysis’.  She has no room to be talking about crony capitalism with regard to the Gardadil issue.  When Palin was governor, she used tax payer money to offer the drug for free.  Now I don’t think her decisions was based on any campaign contributions she received anymore that I think Perry’s decision was based on campaign contributions he received.  But for Palin to imply otherwise is rather duplicitous on her part.

    I’m beginning to believe her critics may be correct at some of her motivations.  The whole, “will she run, won’t she run” string along she has done has worn thin.  And now this?  I’m beginning to think Palin has more of a self-interest (financial) in making sure Obama wins a second term.  If a GOP is elected, demand for what she is selling goes down drastically.

    What awesome moral and medical authority this woman has! Didn’t her
    daughter take something like $262,000 for promoting abstinence? Perhaps
    all the girls in Texas should just follow the Palin’s foolproof
    commitment to abstinence and they won’t get pregnant or HPV. It is
    certainly better to give Bristol $262,000 to insure all teenage girls
    stop having sex than it is to give Perry $5000 and have all girls
    vaccinated to help prevent cancer. I hope she runs. We need more Tea Party nuts to keep things amusing.
