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.

>>>> Tammy Bruce hammered Perry this week. It was brutal. “ <<<<

I too heard Tammy, when she filled in for Laura. When she continued to hammer based on what she omitted of Rick’s record, I cut her loose. In that brief time, I couldn’t really tell who she was actually FOR. Did she say?

We’re gonna need a bigger bowl of popcorn...

How about stadium ring side seats with hot dog venders ta boot! What a wild ride that will be!

“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.”

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.

Based on what empiracle evidence?

Polls?

11 months before the 1980 general election, Carter led Reagan by 30+ points in the polls.

Your assertion does not bear up under scrutiny of related history.

More than likely you have either bought into the left-wing anti-Palin proganda or you have another horse in the race and you rightly view Palin as a threat to your candidate.

I think we have to ask.... why NOW. Why THIS weekend.

Sarah won us over by her honesty and truthspeaking.

If she has something to say, she needs to lay out the whole case honestly and not become part of the chattering sniper class she’s been the victim of.

[Sea Parrot]

So, why hasn’t Texas under Perry done something about that?

[Steel Wolf]

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

Yeah, I did miss it. Telegraphing is a nice way of saying 'keeping people guessing'. The idea that she's 100% in or 100% is total speculation. There's plenty of evidence that she is or isn't running, which is effective deception, but it's a suckers game to guess what she's up to.

I'm all for keeping your powder dry, but the country is going down the crapper with a quickness and the demure routine is losing it's charm. We need to focus on the enemy and stop carving ourselves up. Reagan had an 11th Commandment for a reason. I wish we could keep tighter ranks, like the Democrats do, and engage in less of this intra-party crossfire.

Anyway, that's my piece. Obama has to go. I'm tired of his ignorant yap on TV. I'm tired of his supporters waxing idiotic every time I speak to them. I want the GOP to get its act together and unite against the real enemy.

[patriot preacher]

Rick Perry is for Rick Perry. He’ll tell you just what you wanna hear — no matter who you are. He’s a smooth talker with a smooth talker — Mitt Romney with a Texas twang and the cowboy boots to match! Rick Perry is a political predator, but he’s not a real Conservative.

And now that Sarah has laid to rest any rumor’s about endorsing Perry for President(as if?!), will she consider endorsing another candidate...? Or perhaps this sets the stage for September 3rd and an announcement and the “SarahStock” Tea Party Rally in Iowa?! :-D

[SoConPubbie]

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.

Now there is some really twisted, decietful logic.

Do you always twist the truth into knots to support your position?

She endorsed him for Governor, nothing else.

No-one, and I mean no-one with an ounce of common sense ever believe that if a politician endorses another politician for one race/position that they have their endorsement forever.

What a maroon!

Perry isn’t a frugal man with the people’s money either.......

During the fiscal years for which Rick Perry exercised budgetary authority as Governor of Texas (FY02 through FY10)

• Debt outstanding increased 184.2%, or 20.5% per year

• Per capita debt outstanding increased 140.4%, or 15.6% per year

• Total liabilities increased 60.6%, or 6.7% per year

• Total liabilities per capita increased 35.8%, or 4.0% per year

[SoConPubbie]

Yeah, I did miss it. Telegraphing is a nice way of saying 'keeping people guessing'. The idea that she's 100% in or 100% is total speculation. There's plenty of evidence that she is or isn't running, which is effective deception, but it's a suckers game to guess what she's up to.

If there is so much evidence, why don't you make your point by providing that evidence?

[Steel Wolf]

* 100% in or 100% is total speculation

100% in or 100% out is total speculation

[Pilsner]

I have had issues with Rick Perry, but this is BS.

The Texas Constitution forbids the state, or any of its subparts, from taking on one cent of debt, unless the public first votes to approve a tax sufficient to pay off that debt.

Want to build a new school, or a municipal drainage project, or finance housing for veterans? You can sell bonds to do that in Texas, just as soon as the voters of the school district, or city or state approve a tax, on themselves, to pay off (not roll over) those bonds.

To compare citizens voting to tax themselves, to do a specific project, to the DC, or Chicago or California practice of politicians voting to go into debt to get themselves re-elected, is fundamentally dishonest.

[erod]

PDS talking point "Sarah Palin isn't going to run she's going to endorse Perry."

[Sea Parrot]

Odd Statement? Is Perry in yet, or is he just sniping from the same table?

[babyfreep]

I live here, too, and I totally agree.

[SoConPubbie]

Sarah won us over by her honesty and truthspeaking.

If she has something to say, she needs to lay out the whole case honestly and not become part of the chattering sniper class she’s been the victim of.

No she doesn't and your implication is a completely whacked that she is part of the sniper class. She has always provided the reasons for why she has gone after some one.

And in this case she didn't "Sniper" anyone, she simply retweated an article that proves of all possible GOP POTUS candidates, she is the only true limited government potential or running GOP POTUS Candidate.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Folks act as if the things she has brought out about candidates won't be brought out eventually by other candidates.

Why now? It was a target of opportunity. And all she did was pass along an article. Don't think there was any personal commentary attached.

[rintense]

Damned be conservative principles as long as the (R) wins!

[Hoodat]

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

Palin incurred debt as governor of Alaska? And all this time I thought she reduced the debt. So how do you like them apples?
