Thank you... but no thanks. Candidate Rick Perry promised if he won re-election as Governor, that he would not run for president.
Then, in a move calculated to advance his personal political gain, he broke that promise.
Sarah Palin, on the other hand, took an oath to do only that which she felt was in the very best interest of her constituents and her State without regard for whether it might advance or destroy her personal political gain.
Sarah Palin kept that promise, despite the fact that leaving the Governorship might have spelled her personal political suicide. She honestly believed that it was best decision for her State and her Country. And as is turns out, she was absolutely right. Again
Sarah gets my vote. I can wait a couple more weeks to get a President who keeps her promises to the voters she thinks of before she thinks of herself.
Your offer doesn't sound like so much "fun" after all. And, after all, what is "fun" shouldn't play an adult role in such a momentous decision. "Honesty" trumps "fun."
No thank you.

Your points about Sarah Palin are why I like Sarah Palin. She seeks to do what is best for her state and our country. But I repeat what you have said...
Perry is just a “same old, same old” politician. I voted for Bush 41 and Bush 43, but I want someone different. Palin excites me in that she will seek to do the BEST for our country, Perry doesn’t.
What Perry definitely is not is a TEA PARTY CONSERVATIVE. And until there are no Tea Party conservatives to get behind in this presidential election, I'm not even going to consider getting behind. We still have months to go and the first real primary/caucus is still nearly 5 months away. Plenty of time to wait for Palin to get in this race, which I believe she will, and when she does, she is getting 100% support from me.
Well said, Gargantua!
