2012 GOP potential presidential candidates on Fox News payroll


Politico (which I am not a fan) actually had a story about how four potential GOP candidates who are being paid by Murdoch and friends.

They are Palin, Gingrich, Santorum and Huckabee.

The website notes that Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee, Newt Gingrich and, of course, Sarah Palin have all expressed interest in a potential run for president. All four are paid political commentators for Fox News.

"With the exception of Mitt Romney, Fox now has deals with every major potential Republican presidential candidate not currently in elected office," Politico's Jonathan Martin and Keach Hagey write.

Will they give up their paid gig and get paid to be on Fox News exclusively, as they are set up now? Actually that is good since you can know they won't be on any other news show, hence saving you the adversion one experiences when viewing them.

But back to the question. The answer is they will not only get plenty of suckers who will line their pockets with contributions that pad their wallet. And they may temporarily "resign" from their "news" contributions if they run(and lose), but they will be featured immensely without question on Fox News during the 2012 campaign.

1. No they won't. Because the person running against
Gov Strickland in Ohio was on Fox news, he said he was going to run. Fox touted his candidacy and he got all kinds of contributions. And they let him tell all his "good" points and why he would be a good governor for over a year. Then he resigned and ran for governor. So it doesn't make any difference if these creeps are on Fox they will still stay there and run.

2. I guess they can stay on Fox News but it sure would make a nice issue
I think it's great Obama stated that they are a destructive force.
