So she's really not "undefeated" then. She allowed herself to be forced out right? By your logic EVERY Alaska governor could be just as easily forced out by frivolous ethics charges. Perhaps they should all just quit?
I understand why Palin left. She is an influential conservative, and felt she could take on what she perceived as a larger role unshackled from her gig as Governor.
She still quit though, and the kinds of things she pursued are perceived by many conservatives to be nothing but fluff. RealityTV shows? Come on, seriously? Do we really need to see Palin on TV with Kate Gosselin? And these hit and run appearances obviously designed to muscle in on other candidates media is just getting old. Looks pretty clear to me that the choices she made since leaving her Governor job have been very unpopular with most Republicans.
I have no problem with her criticizing the Republican candidates from her perch at Fox News. It's what she's paid a million dollars a year to do. I think Rush is right though, the Gardasil thing was dumb, but certainly doesn't rise to the level of corruption.
I certainly don't feel sorry for Perry though. If he is a good candidate he will be able to take the heat, become a better debater, clarify his positions better, and emerge even stronger.
I guess the irony of you posting this on a thread criticizing Bachmann just sails right over your head.
This site is all Perry haters posting the same lies and garbage non stop. Count the number of recycled old Perry smear. Its called ASTROTURFING created by Jeff Axelrod and used by Romney bots ,Paulites and Obots swarming this site.
WAAAH! WAAAH! WAAAH! Make them STOP!
Why don't you instead stop whining, put on your big-boy britches and refute what you can about what is being said about Perry. If what is being posted are lies, you should have no problem making a convincing case for such.
But at least you dropped the phony concerned act.
The entire debate was a trash Perry event which was what CNN , MSDNC, POLITCO ,ABC..... WANT and DEMAND.
They are invested in destroying Perry.
The ONLY real opponent that scares the Soros puppet and his Soros media mafia is Perry. Its obvious by their non stop attacks.
Like Rush says , the left will always tell you who really scares them !
So the Soros puppet and his media THANK YOU for all your hard work here !
If you had talked to me like that in a bar, any bar, I would have bought you a drink of your choice.
I believed right from the start the only chance this nation has is for total revamp of the way things are done.
In fact we all believed that.
Your boy is having a seriously hard time selling that aspect.
I will not rest nor vote for anyone that falls short...why? Cause if we don't get it right this time, it really does not matter who is in the oval office.
that's reality and that's that.
Got a time for when Rush said that? I posted the sentiment that Bachmann had jumped the shark to FR at 12:35 CDT (1:35 EDT). Is it great minds thinking alike, or is Rush using FR for show prep?
Just a few minutes after 4pm Central Time.

Now they're finding viral contamination in the vaccine: http://www.ageofautism.com/2011/09/lab-finds-hpv-dna-in-blood-of-gardasil-recipient-2-years-post-vaccination.html
Guess I need to clarify that. 4pm CDT is when his website containing this article went online.
I agree, I think Rush is out of touch when it comes to Sarah and the Tea Party. He is to inside. We will not settle anymore like he wants us to.
But he made a cardinal sin when it came to Perry.
It is obvious Rush has not followed Perry all that deeply but in his defense none of us have, and those that have(Texans) only on a state level.
This is to important a race.
Yes we will need to transition towards concentrating solely on Obama and start driving the narrative but that was not going to happen in two debates hosted by the likes of CNN and MSNBC anyways.
So that was our time to clearly get a feel who is pretending to be teaparty worthy or those that will carry our message with honor.
Perry failed that test yesterday....and from my understanding and observation was that it clearly was personal pride that paved the way for that failure. It's not about our candidate it's about our beloved nation. If our nominee does not get that simple fact than well it matters not even if we do win.
I challenge anyone to prove me/us wrong on that basic premise.
You could be right, but I honestly believe Perry has been damaged to the point of no return.
It is a real shame because I thought he was the one candidate in the race who could unite the Tea Party and the GOP establishment. I guess in a sense he did, but I didn't realize they would join forces to destroy him and his career and not to support him.
Now that he has been sufficiently marginalized, look for Mittens to sail through to the nomination.
The GOP is thrilled because "their guy" gets the nod. The DNC is thrilled because there is 0% chance he will not be challenged from the right with a third party candidacy. Obambi now needs only about 43% of the vote to win, and he will almost undoubtedly get it.
You are correct that it is still REALLY early, but I honestly believe we have managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory yet again. I am praying for a miracle at this point. The country needs it.
Not harping,just hate every lawyer except mine.
Elvis died. And Jimmy Peanutbrain was inaugurated earlier in the year.
"Romney's worried that Ponzi scheme scares seniors, but he's not worried that Romneycare scares Republicans. I'm gonna tell you something: In a comparison to those two, Romneycare scares Republicans far more than Ponzi scheme scares senior citizens. This is where political instincts come into play. Romney's defending the indefensible, which is Romneycare; and he's attacking the concept of reforming Social Security because he's saying (paraphrased), "Don't even bring it up! We can't win elections by talking about Social Security." This is not, by the way (I continue to stress here) a pro-Perry comment right now. I haven't endorsed anybody. Don't want anybody to misunderstand here. I just think Romney needs to step back and take a look at these issues through a conservative lens."
If most people could even write the way Rush talks extemporaneously...the people that hate Rush hate him because he's smug, not because he's wrong...
Obviously Bachmann glugged down a pint of Gardasil last night before going on.
Have you researched the number of women Gardesil has damaged as it relates to the number that would have gotten cancer without it? You may want to do that.
Charlie Chaplin, too. RIP
