Gov. Rick Perry says Sarah Palin to campaign for him

The Boston Herald / The Associated Press ^ | July 8, 2009

[2ndDivisionVet]

Gov. Rick Perry says Sarah Palin is committed to campaigning for his re-election bid and he welcomes the support of the soon-to-be former Alaska governor...

[2ndDivisionVet]

Collecting her IOUs for 2012. But the DBM says she's finished. Notice they don't even use her title in the headline, but give his? Scum.

[Windflier]

Collecting her IOUs for 2012.

Yeah, but I sure wish she'd collect them from actual conservatives.

[Chet 99]

I wonder if she’ll campaign for McLame

[deport]

Maybe she can help Perry get his toll roads passed and secure the gardisal innoculations for the young girls...

[Yossarian]

Yeah, but I sure wish she'd collect them from actual conservatives.

Who's the more conservative in that race? You take what you can get.

Remember: politics is the art of the possible.

[Chet 99]

Not being from TX, what’s the beef with Perry? My understanding is that TX governors don’t have all that much power to begin with.

[jdub]

I wonder if KBH is reconsidering her decision to challenge him.

[11th Commandment]

Republican Perry already is the longest-serving Texas governor. He faces a likely tough primary fight from U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison.

Well so much for GOP unity, I guess it only applies to Conservatives running against RINO (Tome/Specter). Gov. Palin is going to create a new caucus within the party.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Is he better than Kay Bailey Hutchison or a Democrat to be named later? Perfect is the enemy of good, if I recall the saying...

[rabscuttle385]

I wonder if she’ll campaign for McLame

If she does, I'm not going to vote for her, period.

McLame is a treasonous bastard.

There is no excuse for voluntarily campaigning on behalf of treasonous bastards and Obama shills.

[TADSLOS]

Yeah, but I sure wish she'd collect them from actual conservatives.

LOL! Yeah, the field is pretty barren.

[eCSMaster]

“McLame is a treasonous bastard.”

No, he’s not.

[deport]

I have no real problem with Perry and will vote for him if he becomes the nominee. After 12 years I’m not sure how the state overall will feel regarding his run. In 06 he got 39.02% of the vote for his election whereas Hutchison got 61.69%. People may well feel twelve years is enough.

It will be a very contentious campaign if KBH gets in. She has baggage but so does Perry. So come primary time it will be interesting to see how the state as a whole views the Aggie Yell Leader and the Tea Sip Cheer Leader.

[Kandy Atz]

I would love to see Sarah down here for a few days of speeches. And if it is at the expense of Ms Kay, all the better.

[Arguendo]

There’s a reason people like you are nonexistent in the political world. At least you have the blogosphere.

[rabscuttle385]

No, he’s not.

Yes, he is.

John McCain, you treasonous bastard, I challenge you or any of your traitorous cohorts...

[ChrisInAR]

McLame is a treasonous bastard.”

No, he’s not.

OK...so he's not a bastard. Does that sound better?

[rabscuttle385]

There’s a reason people like you are nonexistent in the political world. At least you have the blogosphere.

If Palin willingly goes to bat for McCain, then her actions will only serve to show that she is either in agreement with McCain on matters of policy, that she is a Party hack, and/or that she is an idiot.

[Al B.]

But it won’t mean she’s disloyal.

[dfwgator]

As much as Perry is a “Rick with a P”, I’d still vote for him over Kay Bailey.

[rabscuttle385]

Disloyal to what? The GOP or the conservative movement?

[ChrisInAR]

If Palin willingly goes to bat for McCain, then her actions will only serve to show that she is either in agreement with McCain on matters of policy, that she is a Party hack, and/or that she is an idiot.

IMO. she must have agreed w/ a considerable amount of Juan McCain's globalist agenda, or, if she didn't & had any principle like Rep. on Paul had, would have refused to join the ticket had he been asked to join.

[DWC]

What are you saying?

[BufordP]

...Perfect is the enemy of good...

Around here the saying is, "The merely good is the enemy of the Freeper."

"The person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and an ally - not a 20 percent traitor."
--Ronald Reagan

[eCSMaster]

He picked Sarah.

[SaraJohnson]

He’s a good one for her to hang out with...as opposed to McLame. It is a positive sign she is supporting Perry rather than Rino Kay.

I hope she avoids the Rino snare. Rinos in the GOP leadership have the snare set for her. They would like to run her like a race horse and then put her away wet...like McCain’s backstabbers (including his daughter) tried to do to her. Hope she’s smart enough to avoid this trap.

[Lakeshark]

If she does, I'm not going to vote for her, period.

With each new post you just seem more and more like a total fool. At any rate, good luck pimping Ron Paul, loser, he'll get at least 1% of the vote. But at least he's pure (in your eyes)

[rabscuttle385]

"The person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and an ally - not a 20 percent traitor."

Depends on what that twenty percent is.

If the eighty percent is trivial garbage, and the twenty percent consists of amnesty, cap-and-tax, and gun control, then the person in question is not a conservative.

There are certain things that are open to compromise, and there are other things on which we must hold our ground.

[rabscuttle385]

With each new post you just seem more and more like a total fool.

I'm a fool because I oppose RINOs? Are you sure you're on the right Web site?

At any rate, good luck pimping Ron Paul, loser, he'll get at least 1% of the vote.

Who said I was "pimping" Paul in the 2012 elections?

[Mr. Lucky]

As a total fool, I resent the comparison.

[Lakeshark]

Wow, you are a brave man pinging your little posse.

I'm a fool because I oppose RINOs?

Is Sarah Plain a RINO? Good luck defending that one. But to answer your question it seems you're a fool simply because it's in your character.

[hiredhand]

Yes he IS

Look... we think he's a treasonous bastard. You think he isn't. We can waste a lot of bandwidth and storage with all this back and forth, but it won't change you or us.

If I were you, I'd drop it. We're not really willing to waste a lot of time over it, but collectively all we have to do is each spend a very little time and frustrate you immensely, and for a long time. It's a lot like being tag teamed when there's only one of you, and 100 of them. You represent a very, very small minority here with respect to McCain. I would think you'd know this from simply being here. So unless you're into frustration and aggravation just drop it....please. :-)

I'm not threatening you. I've just seen this sort of posting too many times in the past and know that if you continue, you'll just end up mad. :-)

[Lakeshark]

Oops.

I had no intention of demeaning total fools....

:-)

[rabscuttle385]

Is Sarah Plain a RINO? Good luck defending that one.

When did I say she was a RINO?

[Al B.]

To McCain.

[rabscuttle385]

Loyalty to the RINO McLame is never a good thing.

[eCSMaster]

McCain served in the military. He was shot down and became a POW.

To call him a “treasonous bastard” without any proof is repulsive.

[rabscuttle385]

McCain served in the military.

So did Benedict Arnold, right up until he BETRAYED the fledgling United States.

[bgill]

Perry needs to decide which side of the illegal alien fence he’s on. KBH is on the south side so she’s definitely not getting my vote ever again.

[rabscuttle385]

To call him a “treasonous bastard” without any proof is repulsive.

There is plenty of proof. McCain's record of RINOism--including support for cap-and-tax, amnesty for illegals, campaign finance reform, etc.--speaks volumes.

[eCSMaster]

Are you saying McCain betrayed the United States? If so, you’re a sicko.

[hiredhand]

If you're not careful you'll become unpopular... what will Mom say then?! :-)

[rabscuttle385]

Are you saying McCain betrayed the United States? If so, you’re a sicko.

Look, you...what part of

"John McCain, you treasonous bastard, I challenge you or any of your traitorous cohorts to find even one thread, one post, one paragraph, one sentence or even one lousy word posted to this web site that is not fully protected by the First Amendment!"
(Jim Robinson, 2006-03-23, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1601416/posts)

do you not get?

[rabscuttle385]

If you're not careful you'll become unpopular...

What is right and what is popular rarely coincide.

[TigersEye]

Yes he is. McCain is scum.

[eCSMaster]

Scum is one thing. Treason is another.

[TigersEye]

Would arranging arms sales to Muslim terrorists do it for you?

[Lakeshark]

When did I say she was a RINO?

Post 10, you imply it pretty strongly when you say you won't vote for her when she campaigns for McCain. Either that, or one sin in your eyes and she's out.

Do you really think she won't campaign for the man who brought her into the national limelight as his VP candidate? Are you really going to not vote for her if she does that?

I repeat, you just seem a total fool most times (no offense meant to total fools).

[Melas]

Define weak. True, in Texas policy goes through the legislature and the Lt. gov, but the governor appoints thousands, not only has veto power, but controls a line item veto.

[rabscuttle385]

Scum is one thing. Treason is another.

traitor. (n) (1) someone who betrays his country by committing treason. (2) a person who says one thing and does another. (Definition via WordNet/Google)

From conservative activist Ted Sampley, via his Web site at usvetdsp.com:

McCain admits that on his fourth day of captivity, he broke and began cooperating with the communists.

"Demands for military information were accompanied by threats to terminate my medical treatment if I [McCain] did not cooperate. Eventually, I gave them my ship's name and squadron number, and confirmed that my target had been the power plant." Pages 193-194, Faith of My Fathers, by John McCain.

How much more cooperation did POW McCain give his communist interrogators?

And, of course, McCain's record contains the infamous un-American, un-Constitutional legislation McCain-Feingold (campaign finance "reform"), McCain-Kennedy (amnesty for illegal aliens), McCain-Lieberman-Warner (the forerunner to Waxman-Markey), etc.
