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.

Certainly not a great credential at this juncture. Truly there is no clean electable conservative this time around; we are repeating the 1980 election, but we’ve got Ford, not Reagan. Cruel fate...

Point accepted. That will be something the voters will have to weigh out.

Well, that's nice, but sniping from the sidelines isn't really helping anyone. She can not endorse him without encouraging a circular firing squad. Heck, she could even jump in the ring herself.

Palin has no one to blame but herself for the idea that she supports Perry. She's endorsed him before. I'd prefer for her to run than him, but if she's not running, this ain't helping.

The GOP potentially has the strongest set of candidates in recent history.

How can you compare debt incurred over 2 years(Palin) vice 11?(Perry)

It’s apples and oranges.


No it's not. There is a budget each year and those figures show the outflows/inflows/budget adjustments for each year and their immediate impact.

Nice try, however, Perry ain't a limited Government Republican, he talks a good game, but when/where it really counts, he's a pretend limited Government Republican.

Better make that TWO scotches.

I upped the vodka to keep it even.

May have to throw something else in, too.

Did you miss part of this movie or something? Sarah has been telegraphing her big punch for quite a while now.

>>> “ Is Perry in it?... “ <<<

Let’s put it this way, Sarah has “not been running” a lot longer than Rick has “not been running”. At least his campaign leaks are picking an announcement date. Um, does she even have a campaign from which to leak? She isn’t running.

I wasn’t very clear. I was trying to say Sarah helps Romney by sparing Romney the trouble of hassling Perry and as a side dish, starting a food fight among the conservative tier supporters, with the moondust of her expertise with debt that well served Alaska, but let’s face it, Alaska is not TEXAS, and her two years of challenge will never replace his challenges of ten.

The foundation of your whole argument against Palin is built on the false premise that Palin is not going to run. Something you have no proof of or supporting logic based on her own actions.

“Clearly you missed Palin going after Romney- by name- last week.”

Thank You. :)

Even if Palin enters the race, she can not win. Perry could. Simple as that. Agree with another poster, TX being a border state with a lot of illegal aliens, is stuck with all those anchor babies, their families are all the medical bills. Much different that Alaska. That article was written by a woman who is a friend of Hillary Clinton. Enough said.

The EO he signed to force sixth grade girls to take Gardasil tells me that he simply cannot be trusted with power.

Forced? It wasn't even mandatory. Maybe because my shot record from the Army is the size of a small phone book, but I'm not really sure what the whole hub-bub was about this particular issue. Vaccines have been making the world a better place for a century.

Other than that, wishing or voting for Obama over Perry is about as rational as pouring acid on your face to clear up your acne. If that's good reasoning to you, you're probably as clear thinking as any other Obama supporter.

NO KIDDING! GO SARA! LOVE IT!
On Rule of Law:

“The DREAM Act, well see, the immigrants of the past, they had to literally and figuratively stand in line to become U.S. citizens,” said Palin. “I’d like to see that continue, and unfortunately the DREAM Act kind of usurps that, the system.”

Yep!...and this Palin stated with Hannity....

With all of this sobering financial news and with an election horizon, would it not behoove the American people TO ELECT AN EXECUTIVE who is willing to make tough choices with the budget and address the debt and liabilities that America holds?......of course that would be her.

Disagree. Perry has been not running for president since his initial election as Texas governor.

Palin wasn’t Governor for two years, you need to recheck your figures.

Um, Palin has more grass roots support out there than any other candidate walking, and she's got thousands of people already organizing for her prospective campaign all across the country.

You'd be a lot more credible if you said, "I don't think she's running." All available evidence points to the fact that she's going to make a run for the nomination, but you'd have to be devoid of an anti-Palin bias to see that.
