Bachmann and Perry...Turning on Palin?

[Vendome]

Yes she did. In fact, she said they are good friends.

This was a day or so ago and I believe the answer came in response to a question on the issue.

Let me find it for you.

I love these girls, admire their moxy and appreciate their friendship.

[SF_Redux]

if the , so called, republicans would have acted like one, we wouldn’t have obutthead now

[marron]

There is nothing wrong if Bachmann and Perry decide to test the waters. Nothing wrong at all.

But I will say this. The people they need to win are the same people who like Palin, and they aren’t going to successfully woo them by attacking her. Their best shot is to present themselves as the best person running to achieve the things that they and Palin and the “tea party” Repubs believe in. They can’t win by attacking her, it will only turn off the people who support her which is a large chunk of the rank and file. Rollins isn’t smart enough to know that but Perry and Bachmann should or they aren’t smart enough to win.

What Leftist rag did you get this propaganda from?

The writer argues that none of Palin’s allies can run for President without betraying her. So Palin can be the only conservative, and everyone else running has to be a RINO.

Then what if Palin does not run? It would be all RINOs. That is the clear agenda of the article writer.

[Vendome]

I don't believe she called Ed on the carpet publicly.  That would be bad mojo and she needs another manager.

 

Here is what she said:

“All I want to say that I like Sarah Palin a lot, we’re friends. And I don’t consider her a competitor, I consider her a friend. But my comparison ultimately is to Barack Obama,” Bachmann said.

This should be interesting..........

[CincyRichieRich]

chmann and Perry...Turning on Palin?
No, that’s divisive hype, mostly driven by Paulbots and Obama trolls, don’t fall for it.

Beyond that, Bachmann made a boneheaded move bringing in Rollins. If she hasn’t dumped him already, she should.

Perry and Palin could actually make a formidable team, such an eventuality wouldn’t bother me...

I was gonna post nearly exactly the same wording...I agree completely. I don’t care which is in front, but I prefer Palin/Perry at this point as I trust her judgement to not be squishy or believe in global warming like that other idiot.

[JustAnotherOne]

Palin is too timid. Does not promote the GOP platform. She will be the Ross Perot of 2012.
Perry 2012

[Vendome]

look, I was being nice because you are an old poster and I attempted to be gentle as possible.

You absolutely implied, imputed whatever that Perry and Bachmann are back stabbing Sarah.

They are turning on Palin? LOL How else would one read that?

Stop being defensive. This wasn’t your best writing and like another Freeper said you might have slept on it and then looked at it again before posting.

Heck I have written worse.

Then again, right now, I’m thinking my writing is pretty dang’d good since it garnered your attention.

LOL

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

What are her plans?

I don’t read leftist rags nor do I plagiarize from anyone. If you read FR with any regularity you would know that. Yet you see the “clear agenda” I have. What a joke you are.

___________________________________________

So far, at least, it seems that Palin is an ally of Bachmann and Perry based upon her support of them in their elections last year. When she was being slimed over the Tuscon shooting last year, what did we hear from her “allies” Bachmann and Perry? Crickets. Now her “allies” are preparing to run against their in the GOP primary, Bachmann having already sent out her attack dog to smear her. Allies? Do you know the definition of the word? Lord, spare me from allies such as these.

“Then what if Palin does not run? It would be all RINOs. That is the clear agenda of the article writer.”

If Palin doesn’t run, only two of the remaining candidates are conservatives, Cain and Bachmann, and they are minor candidates without the money or ability to get the nomination. Bachmann has already shot herself in both feet with her Rollins stunt. She will never recover from that.

If Palin doesn’t run, there is no viable constitutional conservative in the current field. Period. The country will be in a world of hurt.

[Outlaw Woman]

Late to the debate, however, can you provide a direct quote or action, other than ‘thinking’ about running for president that Perry has stated.

Bachmann has clearly turned. This is obvious with the hiring of Rollins and her silence after his disparaging remarks against Palin.

I have not seen that out of Perry. The only thing that has been publicized is the fact he is ‘thinking’ about running.

Thx

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

At this point, Bachmann has formed an exploratory committee--Palin has not. As a matter of fact, to my knowledge, Palin has never said she is running.

With each passing day, it gets more remote and most pundits say she is not running and are not taking a possible Palin candidacy seriously.

[FreeReign]

Is Rollins employed by Bachmann? Has Bachmann given any indication that she didn't like the type of attack that Rollins made?

I don't believe she called Ed on the carpet publicly. That would be bad mojo and she needs another manager. Here is what she said:

“All I want to say that I like Sarah Palin a lot, we’re friends. And I don’t consider her a competitor, I consider her a friend. But my comparison ultimately is to Barack Obama,” Bachmann said.

What Rollins has said as Bachmann's campaign manager.

“People are going to say, ‘I gotta make a choice and go with the intelligent woman who’s every bit as attractive.’”

"Sarah has not been serious over the last couple of years"

"She got the vice-presidential thing handed to her. She didn't go to work in the sense of trying to gain more substance. She gave up her governorship."

Bachmann did not apoligize for, nor disagree with any of the above remarks made by her campaign manager.

I believe that's a clear indication that she supports those kinds of attacks against Palin.

[FreeReign]

You set the bar higher for Palin than you do Bachmann. Palin must "declare" a run, while Bachmann only needs to "indicate" a run. Neither have declared and both have shown indications that they may run.

At this point, Bachmann has formed an exploratory committee

Really? I can't find one source that says she has.

--Palin has not.

Both Palin and Bachmann have not.

As a matter of fact, to my knowledge, Palin has never said she is running.

Both Palin and Bachmann have not said that they are running.

With each passing day, it gets more remote and most pundits say she is not running and are not taking a possible Palin candidacy seriously.

Do me a favor, FRiend.

Don't listen to the LSM pundits.

Thanks.

Get washed before you post again.

ROTFL.

Sarah Palin is anything but timid.
She's shown the most courage of anyone in politcs today.

RUN SARAH, RUN! (click)

[moose-matson]

You are confusing audacity with courage. True courage never quits.

/// straw men arguments, and personal attacks? that doesn’t sound like conservative FReepers to me.

UnwashedPeasant made the same mistake Vendome did in incorrectly reading the original article.
post 77 addressed this rather emphatically:

“Neither the article nor the title addresses “anyone” other than the two putative candidates”
- - -
...i don’t totally agree with the original article. but, attacking a man for something he DIDN’T say, i do object to.

and the original article did have good information i didn’t know. and, while perhaps he says it clumsily by some standards, he makes great points. Like that unlike the left, to the right, character and integrity DO matter.

i WOULD have proudly voted for Bachmann before. but if you look at those “Rollins” threads, you will see MANY people know that Rollins said ridiculous things about Palin long before he was hired.
Bachmann knew this. and endorses it by her silence. Most would have forgiven her, if she had immediately fired Rollins for repeated his remarks AFTER he was hired. but she didn’t.

i LITERALLY only voted in 2008, because of Sarah. The GOP doesn’t understand, that i may be in the minority, but i’m not alone.
i will stay home rather than vote for a candidate that i don’t respect now (Bachmann), or a Rhino ( Romney or Perry).

Also, there were several other posts in the 60’s that i felt had similar misunderstandings, and i was going to respond to, until i saw that FreeReign responded to those brilliantly. much better than i could do. I enjoyed reading ALL his comments.

Post #51 by onyx was beautiful. thank you!
Certainly people can run against her. but they should have defended her after Tuscon, and not allow people like Rollins to call her “lazy”. They NEED our enthusiasm in 2012. and they won’t get it, by showing a lack of character.

#52 “Facebook” bears repeating:
Palin: approaching 3.2 million
Bachmann: 188,000
Perry: 56,000.

[Flyover027]

Let’s start with I’m a huge Palin fan..I’ll go so far as to say Palin isn’t Reaganesque.. rather Reagan is Palinesque..
Having said that, I, like so many others, are at least a bit ‘anxious’ about her waiting game..and Bachmann and Perry have every right to get into the primary contest.. heck, Sarah herself encourages competition...

I don’t accept Bruce’s contention that Michelle or Perry are being ‘disloyal’ by allwoing their names to be considered in the primary..

Let the best person win..

I believe if she wants it, that will be Sarah.
