For all the guff Palin has had to contend with and all the guff starting to come Perry's way, I still think the two of them are the winning ticket going forward, America's A-Team!

Ace of Spades is an establishment site...there are a lot of Mittbots on that site in fact. Ace has never been in Sarah’s cornor for the most part and THAT’S THE FACT.
Yeah I agree..that site has gone off the deep end. WOW they must really be scared that she will run and dethrone their beloved Romney
Rick Perry was prepared to create a million refugees in Texas by giving imminent domain and development rights to a foreign corporation over land four football fields wide. Sounds like something out of communist country.
Rick Perry was going to make guinea pigs out of millions of Texas school children (all preteen sluts I guess?) with Guardasil (which had not been tested on kids) which means that he was mandating hundreds of millions of dollars in profits for a politically connected Merck.
Perry opposes a border wall. Perry opposes not giving benefits to illegals. Perry also favors a “guest worker program” that will definitely lead to amnesty.
Perry is already distancing himself from his book published last year “Fed Up”. Perry helped break ground for an Islamic Center in Plano TX.
Rick Perry spent tens of millions of our tax dollars doling subsidies out his own version of “stimulus” to corporations.
Rick Perry is not a conservative.
So the Ass of Holes is unhappy?
Boo-Hoo.
There was no “there” there.
The speech was bigtime overrated. If it were given by any other candidate, it wouldn’t have registered more than a blip on the radar.
Just the word “Palin” on Ace of Spades gets angry responses....You have to tough it out to defend Palin over there
Those guys are a bigger pack of babies than our group of thread spamming trolls, but not by much.
have the other candidates given us specifics more than Palin, yet Palin get attacked for not giving more
The speech was surpose to defend Tea Party. Says who? Says fake news report before the speech leaked by anonymous sources?
I think it can be accurately said that Perry has switched positions from bad ones to good ones.
That would put him in the same league as Mitt Romney and that’s something to think about.
I’m leaning toward Perry at the moment after Palin was my go-to candidate until recently, but this dissection of her remarks is as vague as the speech it is criticizing.
I don’t care about sites that are sympathetic to a candidate—who needs cheerleading? I want to see EVERY candidate’s positions dissected. But this was a statement of intent, and if it was filled with details, this writer would be complaining about how boring and “insider” it was.
She spoke in simple ideas, but they’re GOOD ideas.
Which good ones?
Guardasil?
TTC?
Border wall? Illegal benefits?
pay to play?
doling out tax dollars to corporations?
which are the good positions?
So-call Right leaning folks and blogger resorting to Leftist talking points you really have to doubt their integrity over there
The article in question is written by a site that has its mnd made up already for RINO Romney.
“If it were given by any other candidate...”
Here’s the thing: she’s not, as of now, a candidate.
And that is why I don’t understand the point of the speech, which as good as it was and as much as I agree with the things she stated, was no Gettysburg Address.
I’m very much afraid Palin will try an independent run. I’ve said this like 3 times today, because that is my real fear.
And if she’s thinking about doing that, she may as well endorse Obama and be done with it.
What I’m trying to say is that on Guardasil and the Trans Texas Corridor for example, Perry has backed away from his support for those.
His supporters make much of that when he is challenged about those matters.
I see his switching sides as evidence of flip flopping ala Romney.
No. Perry saw that he was losing and backed off. He never stopped supporting them.
Your view could be right but I’m trying to show that the best picture Perry apologists can present to us is that Perry is a switcher of positions like Romney.
I just watched the speech, and here are some of the points that I got out of it:
1. Don’t rely on the political class to address our problems. It’s up to us. Keep up the Tea Party activism.
2. Repeal Obamacare. Don’t let Congress move away from that goal.
3. Focus on producing our energy at home rather than buying it from other nations. This will give us the strength to pull back from the precipice and create myriads of new jobs.
4. Make a distinction between small business, which creates honest jobs, and large corporations that give large political contributions in exchange for having special benefits written into the laws, especially the tax code.
5. Eliminate the corporate income tax. At the same time, eliminate federal subsidies for businesses.
6. We have to make significant entitlement reform, because the world isn’t accepting the status quo any longer and if we don’t make the changes now we will lose control and see other changes forced upon us. At the same time, the money put in was put in by the working people of this country, and it was demagoguery for President Obama to suggest that he might not send checks to retired people if the debt ceiling was not raised.
7. The political class is not going to reduce government spending. They live on the system of payoffs to their friends. We the people have to force them to do it.
It seemed like a pretty specific speech that contained both an intellectual reorientation toward state and local government and self-help and a cynicism toward promises by career politicians that they can change their political viewpoint and work toward a smaller centralized government and greater self-sufficiency.
Ace may have been miffed that Sarah Palin didn’t announce that she is running, but I don’t think he should have expected a detalied line by line list of budget changes. This was a pretty solid statement of principles with the detail of the 0% corporate income tax and elimination of government subsidies thrown in. I think it was a good speech.
