I find it amazing conservatives on FR are now going to the Nation and Politico for hit pieces on Perry

Why shouldn't they? They're doing the libs dirty work after all, aren't they? Can't wait to see their reaction the day Palin endorses Perry.

If Perry defeats Palin in the primary, Gov. Palin’s endorsement won’t mean much unless she can convince me that Perry’s not a fake. Bob

Exactly. The Obama brown shirts probably can’t believe their luck: willing stooges to do their work for them.

I am sorry but I do my own research. I learned that in my genealogy research. In fact, I spent hours on stuff on him yesterday and last night. Found some interesting things on him and Al Gore.

I don't know if she will endorse anybody in this race. I'm still trying to figure out how they explain what Sarah Palin endorsed Perry, and spoke glowingly of his record in Texas.

Remember, it was that very public record which people are trashing here and claiming it proves he is a lying scum RINO.

So why did Sarah Palin praise him so much? Do we forget so quickly, things like this: "The much awaited Perry-Palin rally (with extra special guest Ted Nugent) visited the Rick Berry Center in Cypress on Sunday afternoon, but made sure to wrap things up before the Big Game."

Here is the quote from Sarah Palin, reviewing Rick Perry's record as Governor:

That's why I am supporting Governor Rick Perry for re-election. He does what is right regardless of whether it is popular. He walks the walk of a true conservative. And he sticks to his guns – and you know how I feel about guns!

With our current economic crisis, and working families worried about their pensions, jobs, credit card debt and rising home foreclosures, we need strong conservative leadership in trend-setting states like Texas.

Rick Perry is a leader. While the nation lost half a million jobs in the last year, Texas gained 250,000 net new jobs. He improved the job climate in Texas by refusing to raise taxes in the face of the largest budget deficit in Texas history. He had the foresight to join legislators in saving for a rainy day. And he has consistently asked agency heads to cut their budgets even when surpluses were rolling in. My fellow Republicans, that’s consistent leadership. That's Rick Perry.

Contrast Palin's quote: "He walks the walk of a true conservative", with the typical Perry attack here that he's faking it.

I choose to believe Sarah Palin. She's a smart person, looked at the record of Perry, and endorsed him as a "true conservative".
