"Crony Capitalism"

[Bruno]

Addressing this should be a focus of GOP candidates, says Bill Kristol today on Fox News Sunday. Sarah Palin just used this phrase in Iowa yesterday and is getting some press out of it. I'm not sure how long she has been using it.

We know Ron has said a version of this phrase, "crony corporatism" many times. Sarah steals some thunder here, but he can still take advantage of it in the debates. No one is better suited against the status quo on this issue than Ron Paul.

He's said crony capitalism too. Yeah, they all seem to get their talking points from Dr. Paul.

I figured he had but couldn't remember. Later I'll add some links to articles from the past few years that I find.

Michele Bachmann just used the word twice during her appearance on The Tonight Show. I didn't know Ron was the person that started using that phrase, but it looks like everyone is using it now.

This is going to be the main talking point in this election, supporting the jobs and economy issue..

Ron Paul started the phrase "Crony capitalism"?! You see, its that kind of thing that gives RP supporters a well deserved bad rep...

Bill Kristol, neocon extraordinaire, fighting against crony capitalism.

I think I've seen it all.

The first time i heard the word Crony Capitalism was from a milton friedman Video (he was talking about the old soviet union). The next person i heard use the term was Dr Paul. And now everyone is using it.

Cool, this is one of the first books I picked up after Ron's 2008 campaign.

Crony Capitalism = Fascism

Corporatist = Fascist

Your reading comprehension is weak.

"We" have a "bad" rep because it couldn't possibly be any other way, given the political climate. And hell, you're one of the biggest weirdos here, yet you criticize other people?

You're still a seriously sexy beast though, too bad you're in England or something. Woof!

This. Bill Kristol criticizing corporatism is like Kim Jong Il telling North Koreans that socialism/communism is bad.
