I find it interesting that I am not allowed to have an opinion on this. I supported, defended and posted a LOT of threads on Sarah Palin. I am truly interested in how she is planning to help with this election or if her reticence about announcing firm plans about a run will keep her supporters edgy and defensive. She is not giving off positive signals. And yes, I do support Rick Perry.
But you couldn't resist posting this one, could you? You knew EXACTLY what buttons to push with nervous and committed Palin supporters and you went for it with gusto. And who said you weren't allowed to have an opinion? Just making stuff up, I see.
I think what you did was detestable but that's JMO.
I'm not a but edgy or defensive, but aren't you more than a bit duplitcitous to post a Palin thread then use it to promote Perry?
I remain open to Perry, but he's certainly not vetted. His conservive credentails are a very open question.
Furthermore, by you stating that she isn't giving off positive signals, what the heck do you know? LOL. Wishful thinking and projection on your part? How about I post: (I know you're worried about her entry. Tit for tat, and that's not helpful).
You jumped on his band wagon well before he announced and that's all right and even mighty fine, but Free Republic is a conservative forum and until I and a whole lot of others, know for certain that Perry is a bona-fide conservative, I'm not going to be tooting his horn or supporting him, but I'm not going to be bashing, trashing or slashing him either. I am trying to learn about him, but I won;t learn a thing from his supporters *spamming* and posting the same old, same old. I am learning from conservative websites, conservative columnists and from his own record.
I'm not here to make enemies with any of his supporters, so please spare me from your argumentative rhetoric.
You've been here long enough to know that Sarah Palin is the one who's been smeared, trashed, slashed and lied about and it's still going on today.
She's prevailed and she's still standing stronger than ever. Once she enters, the attention and oxygen goes to her. The others already in the race, need be vetted now, if they're EVER going to be. No clear sailing for anyone.
Get used to it.
