Anyone can be framed by selective quotes of their own words, or selective citations of their actions or votes without the context of the reason for those actions, this has happened to Michelle Bachmann to Sarah Palin and happened to Fred a lot when he ran, for example, he did not vote guilty to one of the charges against Clinton. Ann Coulter bashed Fred relentlessly for that and it was completely unfair.

With respect to Sarah, the accusation that she quit is both true and false. She did resign but she did not “quit” her job, she had good reasons to leave. She also endorsed McCain, and that looks real bad outside the context that she was likely just being loyal to the man that brought her into the limelight.

Perry is now getting the same treatment. For example, Gardasil....yes he did mandate vaccinations, but there was an opt out and he later admitted the mandate was a mistake.

Gov. Rick Perry's Remarks to the Border Summit

The whole speech. Obama couldn't have done it batter.

Before Perry, I was a Palin supporter. I believe she will one day be president...but not in 2012. She is too weak in terms of experience. Yes, I know she has a great record compared to Obama's complete lack thereof...but the scales are different for Libs and Conservatives. Libs will take anyone who toes the line and Conservatives are particular.

We don't buy the bullsh!t that the Libs love! We are thinkers...and we have logical/rational standards.

That said, Perry is the guy this time. He has a long record and tons of experience. Sarah will make a great Sec of Interior. She's next, but this is not her time.

JMHO!
