Sarah Palin: Mitt Romney needs Bain show & tell

Sarah Palin: Mitt Romney needs Bain show & tell

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 100,000 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? … 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.”

NOT. Sarah, you dumbass, there is a reason Mittster doesn't want people to know his business. BECAUSE IT REALLY REALLY MAKES HIM LOOK BAD. He will not release his taxes. He cannot prove that he created 100,000 jobs because he didn't. Nobody cares what you think, go away, crazy lady.

She's contradicting the republican playbook which now states that Mittens is going to be the nominee and nobody should question his "conservative" credentials, or his business background or even bring up how he got his fortune,

The word came down yesterday from rush limbaugh that anybody who dared to call Romney out was not a "conservative" and was being disloyal to the republican cause. Apparently he was referring to Newt's attack ads, but TPTB aren't going to be thrilled with Palin bringing this up either.

Nice way to stick a knife in the back of the likely nominee. All I can say is that as nasty as any Democratic primary fight has been, this one is far worse - it really seems that various factions hate each other.

I mean she helped Barack Obama win the election, she's successfully proved the tea party to be a pack of gibbering idiots due to their support for her two-years-is-too-much ass, and now this?

I'm confused and think I need an adult!
