Then why *start* a war, if you’re just irked with others?

I don’t know you, I see you posted Perry articles, and I might end up supporting him, but not now, because I am convinced, for many good reasons, that Governor Sarah Palin is running, so my support remains with her. My Lord, it’s only August! Most of the electorate start paying closer attention after Labor Day.

You don’t see me posting negative articles about other candidates. I am busy enough posting and pinging Sarah Palin articles.

“starting a war” was your terminology, not mine.

I was merely trying to point out, by quoting Palin, posting her own words, that conservatives shouldn’t be using double standards, giving a pass to one candidate, while excoriating another one for the same perceived attitude.

This election is going to be about jobs and the economy, spending, taxes.

If you go on any of the Perry threads, half the posts are not discussing the issues, or Perry, they are rants about Perry being unfit to even consider, because there are illegals in Texas and he didn’t go and personally round them up and deport them. At the same time Palin made very clear statements that can be interpreted as favoring amnesty.

If Perry had said what she said, every third post would be quoting it.

This was just a simple “what’s sauce for the goose, it’s sauce for the gander”.

So why don’t we all just stop this nonsense?

As I said and you can see, I don’t go around saying negative things about Palin, I think she is to be admired and would make a great president, if she got that far, but I think she is smart enough to know that this is not her time and is not running.

So in my simple conservative mind, I think the objective is to defeat Obama and who do you think will do it, if not Perry?

But plenty of your follower Palin supporters are and I haven't seen you object to the lies and smears they post about Rick Perry and other candidates.
