why is that, because Perry’s replacement will be more conservative than he is?

Yeah the 15,000 e-mail witch hunt against Palin really proved to be devastating...

Your intentional destruction of anyone but Palin works perfectly for Obama. He might even send you a free ticket for an evening with Moochelle. Fries and a double cheese with that.

Come on? Can't you see what you are doing?

Rick Perry couldn’t fill one of Sarah’s skirts. But I’ve heard that he’d looooovvveee to give it a try. His favorite color is baby blue.

“Well, in all due respect, you better support a candidate that can beat that destructive force in the WH.”

You’re forgetting we have a GOP primary before the general election. Perry should concentrate on winning that first. Judging from his past actions, he has alot of explaining to do during that time.

“What’s the matter, can’t find anything new to try to smear Perry with. This has already been posted and laughed at.

You Perry haters are really pathetic and your desperation is apparent.”

No you PF’s are desperate and trying to wash your Amnesty Turd in perfume! Clue; it will not work!

I'm pretty sure there's a couple dozen Perry advocates spittin' up blood on this thread by now.

I'll skip reading their posts and replying.

I agree. But that isn't the issue, is it? It's about who can beat Obama.

If Sarah is our champ...I will fight for her until the voting booths are closed.

Will you do the same for Perry if he is our champ (I believe you will)?

Rick Perry has never supported HillaryCare and only a few on the very far left and a few here on FR even pretend that he did.

For the record, the bailout was a GWB bailout, not an Obama bailout (although he too supported it). In fact, a lot of people supported it, and I disagreed with them then, and I disagree with them now. That is at least a legitimate point with which to attack Perry though.

He did not support the stimulus either. That is another bogus slander.

Why some of you think you need to make up negatives about Perry just to slime him is baffling to me. Hit him on legit areas, but don't lie about his record. Let the libs do that.

You can slam me if you like or question my motivations, but I will stand up for any candidate on our side who is getting a raw deal -- Perry, Palin, Bachmann, Cain, you name it.

The Perry attacks lately on here have gotten farcical.

I suggest you just be patient. If he is as evil and liberal as you guys claim, it will come out in the debates and he will not win the nomination.

For every one of these articles that you post, you drive another voter AWAY from Palin. I think you are having the opposite effect that you want. The more Palin supporters act like cultists, and the more they attack other candidates rather than pointing out her strengths, the less support she is going to get. Is that what you want?

So, I am the one who is spinning, hmmmm?

What you have posted above is a flat out lie. Not just a half-truth. A complete fantasy.

Do you think Sarah would be proud of the crap you are posting here in support of her?

But the point is 'who can beat Obama'? Isn't that it? I really dislike Romney (he's a sissy and a trust fund baby), but I would pick up a weapon (I have plenty) and march on his behalf against Obama, that is if Romney is somehow chosen to be our champion...and I don't think he will be.

But you are saying that if Sarah doesn't get the nom...you will, by your abstinence, vote for Obama.

I don't believe it.

We are at war against a force which, if given 4 more years, will destroy this country. I don't believe you would choose that option. I don't believe you would hold out for a perfect future candidate while our present is destroyed (and the future with it).

So bailouts by GWB were good bailouts? And if Rick Perry bails out Wall Street and gives them so much money that it triples the debt in one day, that would be a good bailout too? Wow!

I feel sorry for you that you have to twist things like this.

I admit Perry is far from perfect, but our side does not need to stoop to these types of liberal tactics.

I have always considered myself a huge Palin fan, and truth be told, I still am.

The approach by her acolytes on here trying to slander those they see as a threat to her is leaving me with a very bad taste in my mouth though (especially since there is a huge likelihood she isn't even running).

There is a lot of wisdom in what you just posted. I hope those who have declared a jihad against our other candidates have sense enough to listen to what you are saying, but I am not optimistic about it.

I again agree with a poster...but the issue is not "if" he wins.

Most of the comments here trash Perry.

If he wins, would you rather we destroy him for his imperfections, or back him in his attack on Obama?

Obama must lose! He must be destroyed!

“Sad to see any legitimate GOP candidate be treated this way by fellow conservatives. I can understand liberals doing it, but to see us try to eat our own with half-truths and innuendos is extremely disappointing.”

Totally agree. It’s all Palin people trashing Perry 24/7 and wetting their beds over whether or not she is announcing.

I don’t support Palin because she is a quitter. Say what you want about Perry, but he didn’t leave the people of his state in the lurch to go make some money on reality TV.

That’s because it’s a Paultard troll and not a Palin supporter. I may object to Palin being POTUS but her supporters usually mainly only gush about her. . The Paultards on the other hand have a history of this type of trolling. They also really don’t like Perry. My brother is a recent RP convert who spouts the same crap about Perry. Paultards are kind of like political scientologists.
