Um, Perry does not stand for everything this site stands for. Sorry to have to correct you. I can’t just let that go because it’s simply not true. FR has NEVER in all my years here been a place that welcomes pro-amnesty conservatives NOR open borders NOR candidates who sell legislation/votes/executive orders to the highest bidder. FR has never been a place where we excused candidates who are pro-U.N. either. FR is a property rights advocate also. So, NO, FR can support who they want, as it’s a free country (so far), but I have to correct factual errors when I see them. If FR has changed & any of those things are no longer true, please point to the FR mission statement that notes the change.

No, Palin isn’t “in” right now, which makes me want to support her more, but instead of jumping on a specific bandwagon while we wait, would our time not be better spent vetting ALL the candidates??? Hashing it out and let the cream rise to the top. If Perry is not what he claims, isn’t it better we find out NOW and put the pressure even more on Palin to jump in??

“Um, Perry does not stand for everything this site stands for.”

Could we have a list, please with proof?

(Realizing that much of what has been claimed by the anti-Perry posters has already been refuted.)

Excellent post!

There seems to be two different attitudes displayed here. One group is fixated on defeating Obama as if that’s the only thing that matters.

The other group(mine) is determined to clean up Washington DC and is looking for a candidate that will take on the corruption in all political parties. Defeating Obama is merely one step in the process.

The problem with the first group is that they fear Obama so much that they will settle for anyone they believe will defeat him. You won’t win anything coming from a position of fear.

It’s time to look for bold leadership, not a band-aid administration. Obama has given us the best opportunity in our lifetimes to roll back the size and scope of government but it will take a true believer occupying the White House to accomplish it.

And it will take another influx of tea party candidates to congress. As I see it, the only one qualified true believer is Sarah Palin for president.

We can elect someone else but the corruption will go on and on and on. And we all get to work and pay for it. Isn’t life grand?

I’m not against vetting Perry, but for a pro Palin site to post a hit piece on an announced candidate when Palin hasn’t joined the fray is unseemly and I don’t think Palin would support such an effort. There are enough anti-Perry threads started with articles from the MSM. We don’t need them coming from Pro-Palin sites. You want to promote Palin, that’s great. You want to destroy Perry? Don’t use Sarah Palin as a cover for your hatred.

And now I will correct your claims.

“Um, Perry does not stand for everything this site stands for. Sorry to have to correct you. I can’t just let that go because it’s simply not true.

Prove your comments with factual links.
