Palin is coming.
can you share this?
She called you up and told you?
care to share?
The onlu battle we have on the right is keeping RINOs out of the WH.
Alert the media.
I hardly think it is a weakness in Perry when all he can attract as an opponent is someone too weak to run a decent campaign. Rather it is a strength when your enemies believe you are too strong to beat.
But, other than that, interesting article.

They wanted to kill off Bachmann and Cain. Why Perry went in. My 2 cents. The fix is in.
I’ll take Palin over the top two front runners at the moment.
(((((PING)))))
We've only been saying this for the past three months. Amazing. There is actually someone out there as smart as us. Hard to imagine. Maybe the author has just been learning from us Masters of The Grand Politica.
O' Happy Day..... mmmmm-mmmmmmm, issa Happy Day!
Nice! I like it.
palin.
He's not who he claims to be, he's a moderate squish who pretends to be conservative. We don't need another moderate squish right now.
WooHoo! Run Sarah!
Perry's a willing practitioner of ''corporate welfare'....Boeing and Merck.... to name a couple. Look up the' Texas Enterprise Fund', and the' Texas Emerging Technology Fund',... where Perry gained the power to spend taxpayer money to pick winners and losers, and to entice businesses to move to Texas via payoffs...... You pay to play in Perry's sandbox!
Perry is not all bad. He’s been an above average governor (just like 24 other sitting governors), and has been more likely than not to support conservative positions (although, sometimes it takes him longer).
He is NOT a movement conservative. From 2000 to 2010, the Texas state payroll grew by 15%. In the same time period, the population grew 20%. That’s okay, if you don’t include contractors to artificially deflate the numbers, ignore economies of scale, and assume the Texas government was properly lean to begin with (it wasn’t).
So, people who are fine with the status quo (obamacare, stimulus2+3+4+5, a bazillion czars, a runaway EPA, a highly partisan DOJ), then Perry is probably the right guy for you.
Perry was seriously challenged in 2006. He won a three way race. In 2010, he barely squeaked by avoiding a run-off (as pointed out above) being challenged on both the right (Medina) and left (Hutchison). If Medina hadn’t imploded, there would have been a run-off and everybody would know less than 50% of Texas primary voters supported him.
There is a reason he was challenged on the right - he was not ‘Tea Party’, he is not authentic, he is a big-government solutions politician.
...oh, and he also had his bacon saved by a timely endorsement from an authentic Tea Party common sense conservative: Sarah Palin!
In fact, the ONLY claim Perry has to Tea Party credentials is his endorsement from Sarah Palin. So, why settle for imitation?
The article is right...he’ll fade, he and Romney will go after eachother, others (Bachmann, Cain, Santorum) will go after Perry...and then Sarah Palin will enter once their campaigns are locked on to one another. Just brilliant!
Thank you :)
I pulled the background from the web.. but the letters are mine to claim ;)
