Scarborough: Conservative leaders all tell me they want a brokered convention

More from Palin’s self-serving Iowa speech:

It doesn’t surprise me. I’ve seen this kind of crony capitalism before. It’s is the same good old boy politics-as-usual that I fought and we defeated in my home state. I took on a corrupt and compromised political class and their backroom dealings with Big Oil. And I can tell you from experience that sudden and relentless reform never sits well with entrenched interests and power-brokers. So, please you must vet a candidate’s record. You must know their ability to successfully reform and actually fix problems that they’re going to claim that they inherited.

Why is she supporting Newt again?:

We sent a new class of leaders to D.C., but immediately the permanent political class tried to co-opt them – because the reality is we are governed by a permanent political class, until we change that.

Populist crap from the “reformer” who took on “Big Oil”:

This is the crony capitalism that destroyed Europe’s economies. It’s the collusion of big government and big business and big finance to the detriment of all the rest – to the little guys. It’s a slap in the face to our small business owners – the true entrepreneurs, the job creators accounting for 70% of the jobs in America, it’s you who own these small businesses, you’re the economic engine, but you don’t grease the wheels of government power.

just scanned her speech from Iowa. Where does she attack our GOP candidates?
PROVE IT or STFU.

Oh, she’s very clever and doesn’t mention any names. But here it is (again):

Now to be fair, some GOP candidates also raised mammoth amounts of cash, and we need to ask them, too: What, if anything, do their donors expect in return for their “investments”? We need to know this because our country can’t afford more trillion-dollar “thank you” notes to campaign backers. It is an important question, and it cuts to the heart of our problem. And I speak from experience in confronting the corruption and the crony capitalism since starting out in public office 20 years ago.

Note that ACE went after her for this too…

Yeah, even that left rag the WSJ is looking into Mitt’s financial holdings and finding some highly “unorthodox” IRAs:

Did Palin knew about this or is she on a fishing expedition? April is plenty of time before the general election. Why should Romney have to meet a different standard?

The GOP can be just as bad at picking winners and losers (crony capitalism) as the Dems. If that’s an attack in your mind then I know why your a Romney supporter.

Please provide evidence that Mitt is a crony capitalist. Thanks in advance! The one person (other than possibly Rick Perry with Merck – although I didn’t think that was a fair attack) is Newt Gingrich who profited from is relationship with a government entity, Freddie Mac. Why is Palin supporting him again?

I agree with every word Palin said….
and why did Romney use the term crony capitalism last night?

Of course you do- it’s like a reading of the gospel for you. She didn’t invent the term. Obama is guilty a thousand times over of this. Why doesn’t she focus her attention there instead of making unsubstantiated allegations at our team? She has yet to name one fracking thing our candidates done to deserve this.

Buy Danish supports Crony Capitalism.
That’s all that really needs to be said…

I oppose unsubstantiated allegations. I oppose Crony Capitalism. Apparently you and your pals are cool with using innuendo to taint people without a shred of evidence. Witness the email rumor on this thread. I am one of Palin’s harshest critics yet I never did that to her. It’s oh so ironic that any criticism of Palin is greeted with a chorus of screaming harpies but she can dish out unadulterated crap and she’s treated like a “true conservative” heroine.
