Sarah Palin on Stimulus for Alaska:
Sarah Palin: "On the whole these things that are good for the state we will appreciate those dollars coming as an addition to our economy, certainly the construction projects we are still looking forward to those because those are what actually create the jobs."
She also opposed parts of the stimulus program:
Sarah Palin: "I beg to differ with the premise of this economic stimulus package that it, as a whole, stimulates the economy when you look at the programs that are entailed in this economic stimulus package, the programs that could end up costing a state so much more at the end of the day, those don’t necessarily stimulate the economy."
Her ACES program didn't "tax the hell" out of oil companies, it corrected a previous program that was too generous.
And how Barack Abyss Obaama bought the house he lived in in Chicago prior to usurping Sarah Palin's future residence in DC?
Cheers!
Excellent recitation of the problems Rick Perry faces and the why so many conservatives support Sarah Palin. Sure to be a 'hot' thread. Palin is the Washington D.C. game-changer and as you succinctly point out, neither the Obama administration, the Democrats or the Republican establishment want any part of that. They have their profitable scam firmly in place and fear Sarah Palin ruining it for them. She can - and will - and both the Democrats and the GOP 'elites' know it. Palins' authenticity, integrity and boldness never cease to amaze and impress me. She is the right person at the right time and all the petty bickering here and elsewhere will eventually come to nothing when she announces her candidacy and defeats Barack Obama in 2012.
Besides ending taxes on corporations, I think if she came out for replacing taxpayer-funded Federal retirements with 401Ks only, she’d really get even greater support. People I have talked with have had it with this self-appointed elite and have been in favor of doing away with that Big Draw to stay in politics. Right now they have insulated themselves from the results of their laws - if they had to risk their retirements as we do, they’d think twice, or maybe even READ a law before they passed it.
The sad part is that the only way it would pass is to stiff the Newbies, but it’s a start.
Palin threw cold water on the members of the mainstream media and the Republican and conservative establishments .....’who erroneously and ignorantly assumed she was going to endorse Texas Gov. Rick Perry.’...... While Palin directly attacked Obama by name, she cleverly and implictly attacked Perry, who has been accused by his critics of being a crony capitalist who engaged in “pay for play” politics.

I’d heard he had real estate deals and the generalities of the other issues, but first time seeing these specifics.
Does not engender confidence.
Funny that, I thought Sarah attacked 0bama and Biden.
For a career politician, Biden has a real nice home
The truth.
What pundits should be talking about when it comes to Palin
Palin tossed out the corruption-ridden, structurally-flawed Petroleum Profits Tax of the Murkowski administration and put forth ACES (Alaska’s Clear and Equitable Share), which incentivized development while seeing to it that Alaskans — resource owners as per the Alaska Constitution — would receive “A CLEAR and EQUITABLE SHARE (ACES) of the value of their commonly-owned oil and gas.” The result? Alaska was left with a $12 billion surplus. Also, as reported at Big Government, “The number of oil companies filing with the Alaska Department of Revenue has doubled, indicating that competition has indeed increased. Alaska has the second most business friendly tax set-up — up two spots since the passage of ACES. Additionally, a report from Governor Parnell’s Department of Revenue indicated that 2009 yielded a record high in oil jobs.”
“Playing devil’s advocate, won’t some s*it disturber from the media ask Governor Palin after she enters the race, if you feel this way about Rick Perry and crony capitalism, why did you endorse him for Governor of Texas?”
Perhaps. But the level of scrutiny for President is so much greater. Palin can truthfully say that she didn’t vet him to the extent that he is now being vetted and that in any case she judges him better than his opposition, Kay Bailey Hutchison, prochoice RINO, and the truther Deb Medina.
The fact that one is the best candidate for dog catcher does not make one the best candidate for President.
BC, I wanted to thank you for including this in your article. She may well want to target Perry, and if she does, I'm sure she will be able to say his name directly because she is not shy at calling people out. Until then, it's all speculation.
As Bill Clinton says about Rick Perry “It is a handsome rogue.” Texas might not be so enamored, but the rest of the country has a school girl crush on this big-talking, cowboy boot wearing, handsome politician - the only one of the bunch that could throw on a top hat and a pair of jeans and not look like a city slicker. Whether Palin runs or not, focusing on why his Texas record is much worse than you think comes after Labor Day and the race begins to settle into a more serious phase.
Although I do hope that voters wake up soon. When I think of our choices in 2012, as being Obama or Perry, I see nothing but gloom & doom for this nation.
If Mao were running against Obama, I’d vote for Mao. I don’t care what anyone has to say about anyone running against the Zero, especially someone not declared.
So, what is the upshot here if Palin does not run? We beat the tar out of Perry and Romney? Clearly Backman is not ready for prime time and look at the rest of the field...Cain has some possibilities but was woefully unprepared in his first debate about foreign items; Santorum could not win his Senate race in Pa; Gingrich has more pimples than a teenaged chocolate abuser, and Huntsman is the darling of the MSM for the GOP. Rubio has taken himself out more than once and the straight talk RINO from NJ is exactly that but he says he is not running either.
I have. Are there any Tony Rezkos in Perry’s past?
Re-read the contents of the original posting and follow the links.
Cheers!
I’m sorry. If she was “extraordinary politically talented” she would have found someway over the past year to raise her approvals to a level which would give some of us confidence she could beat Obama in November.
My question to Palin supporters is, why hasn’t she been able to do that, and where do you get the confidence going forward that she can do that? The left launched another round of ridicule at her this morning on the Sunday Morning Shows, and she hasn’t shown the ability to fight back.
I’d love to vote for her and be the nominee and be the President. But I don’t see this “magic political genius” that everybody else does where she’s going to start campaigning, and the media is going to melt and stop ripping her to shreds.
Sound like the PAC was right.
Thanks for the great post Brice. I am a Palin supporter to be sure but know little about Gov. Perry. I will use your excellent post and others from well informed Freepers to “vet” the Texas Governor against other candidates. When Governor Palin “officially” enters the race, I’ll need some popcorn and a soft chair to watch the show!
