Governor Palin Retweets Article Rick Perry Almost Tripled Texas’ Total Debt
Conservative 4 Palin ^ | 08/05/2011 | Ian Lazaran

Governor Palin Retweets Article from Whitney Pitcher and PA4Palin That Notes How Rick Perry Almost Tripled Texas’ Total Debt

This re-tweet from Governor Palin should pretty much put an end to the outrageous rumors that she’ll endorse Rick Perry. The great article from Whitney and PA4Palin re-tweeted by the Governor directly contrasts Governor Palin’s stellar record on debt and liabilities with the futile records of Mitt “peacetime” Romney and Rick Perry. If Palin is endorsing Perry, why is she re-tweeting an article that slams his inability to control what Governor Palin has described as the “foundation of destruction?”

It’s also noteworthy that the article that Palin re-tweeted pretty much calls for her to run for the presidency.

(Since she isn’t getting in.) Maybe later she will support Bachman?

Your entire theory about Palin hangs on the premise that "she's not going to run", but that is your opinion only, and not based on any empirical evidence.

If you expressed that as your opinion only, you'd have a lot less face to save when she enters the race (as I think she's going to do).

As far as supporting Bachmann, that's not likely, considering that she knows better than to support someone with no executive experience for the most important executive position on earth. Not to mention the fact that Bachmann stabbed her in the back by proxy a while ago, and has still never apologized or disciplined her campaign manager for it.

Such a record hardly establishes distance between Perry and George W. Bush. We can do better.

This one line would have sufficed:

The ONLY brooch, hat or pterodactyl I can make of this is Perry intends to wake up and engage the southern democrat male who sat out election ‘08 in his mancave while his wife and 2 kids put zero in office.

Seeing the ratblowingmedia turn this into a cage fight would solidify said ‘08 no-show to get out and vote in ‘12.

Again, it’s too late in the game for any inter-party fracas if we intend to send zero packing.

"Wow...I seriously thought she was going to endorse Rick Perry."

How could you possibly have thought she would endorse a man who MANDATED all girls in Texas over 12 (I think it was) has to get the Gardisil injection to ward off a HPV even though it was know to have killed some girls.? It took the Texas Legislature to overturn his mandate.

It would be wonderful if Sarah is channeling Sun Tzu.

She is. Read Sun Tzu with fresh eyes and compare what she's been doing over the last several months with his master work. You'll get chills up your spine.

There's no doubt in my mind that Palin is a keen and long-term student of Sun Tzu.

With the Iowa caucuses 6 months away, you think it’s too late for candidates to campaign against each other?

I’m sorry friend, that just doesn’t make any sense to me.

Oh, what, now we’re supposed to bypass primary competition to anoint a candidate who plays terribly in swing states? I don’t think so.

>>> “ How do you know she’s not running? “ <<<

What Palin inner circle? What campaign operation? What thinking? What staff? Endorsements? Ground crew? Bundlers? What Fundraisers? Appearances? Foreign schedule? What strategy advisors? Foreign advisors? Economic advisors? What solutions driven language from her FOX platform? What isn’t a platitude? Sarah has FOX and uses it for highlighting the days news, same thing you and I would say on the issues, but are we running for president? This won’t be a coronation and she is too late.

Rick in seven days has met with Mubarak and returned from three days in Iraq, well, heck, look up his schedule yourself. You get what I’m saying. Sarah just isn’t running.

Sorry, but couldn't the same questions be asked about Perry?

Did he announce, or am I missing something?

Furthermore, you've left out Sarah's trip to India and Isreal.

If she ultimately intends to fight against Perry, she should have started at least three months ago, before he was able to
magnetize all the support he has outside of Texas.

Put another way, if we Texans knew Perry would have to stand under Palin fire we would have helped shoot him down (politically) if we were TOTALLY SECURE that Sarah would run.

Thank God this happened on a Friday amidst much bigger news.

Can you imagine the rat headlines if it happened last Tuesday?

I will as long as the Sidebar Moderator will allow me.

He/she has already admonished me about spamming.

Hopefully they will allow me to post it somewhat regularly.

That information is important to get in front of people who are ignorant of his actual record.

I have to say now that you mention who put the kid in, that the ‘08 campaign for president was effeminate and old hat RINO. Men I know have noticed the feminization of America, the military, the churches, schools, etc., etc., the “Alpha Male” and were sick of Hillary and then along came champ—Obama, and we drag out McCain. I’m now even sick of women in charge. LOL!

What Rat headlines would we be afraid of? He’s no more announced than she is at this point—and they were probably both smart not to get in earlier.

Perry will not enter if Palin is in. He does not have the stones for it. Perry is a lightweight and he himself knows it.

Palin blasts Perry during Pray-in for tripling Texas Debt

Palin charges Perry with economic 'foundation of destruction'

And that's just from the text of this non-article alone. Are you seriously trying to dismiss that the SRM will stop at nothing to split up conservatives - both R and Rat?

I have no idea whether Sarah will get in the race, or if she would ever give an endorsement to Rick Perry.

But it's silly to ignore Sarah Palin's own words about a Perry Presidency, and pretend it's all about her endorsement of him for Governor.

I take Sarah Palin at her word when she says of Governor Perry "I think he would be a fine candidate,” “We have a lot in common. I really like him.”

Note that you can really like someone and not want them as your President. And you can think someone is a fine candidate, without thinking they are the best candidate.

But it would be rather unusual for someone to say of a person they had great disagreements with "We have a lot in common".
