Texas Gov. Rick Perry has a commanding lead in the 2012 GOP presidential race, and that wont likely change if tea party favorite Sarah Palin decides to run, a new CNN/ORC International poll indicates....The polls data show that, for now, Mr. Perry is the clear favorite of tea party supporters. Ms. Palin won support from 10% of voters, leaving her in third place just ahead of Mrs. Bachmann.

I love the excuses being made for her reasoning that it's okay to not fulfill her political position when she deems the job is done. So if she becomes the POTUS she gets to decide, I'm finished so I will quit and move on to greener pasture? Yeah right.
re: “Im not about to vote for another Rhino....for Pres.... and watch him hand the election to Obama as McCain did.....not going to happen.”
So if a RINO is the Republican nominee you would not vote, thereby handing your non-vote to Obama? I sure hope you do all you can to get a true conservative elected as the R nominee then.
[You are waaaay too emotionally invested in her approval. Please get help.]
Your only recourse is to make snarky remarks when anyone questions what you say. I try to look up the facts and have never posted anything against Sarah - never.
I have stated before I do not vote according to what candidates or politicians say or think about another candidate...which includes Palins recommendations....I am not a follower..... Heck even Mr.Jim mentioned Perry and I disagree with him.
So what palin says about Perry that’s favorable to her does not in any way change my opinion of what I see as the greates concern and worry for our country if he is voted in. I see him as dangerous because he is.
Thanks for finding the exact quotes. Appreciate it.
No..I will vote but there are other candidates besides Obama and and a Rhino's running.....and not all have decleared their run yet to make a firm decision....but I will not be voting for Perry or Romney. That is correct.
You heard what you heard, but apparently not a single news service or blogger heard it.
Just more proof that Palin isn’t always right. Of course, as stated before, most of us knew that already.
My original post was about someone saying that ‘she said’ there was no one she would support in the primaries. I did a search on that with no success. I merely posted all the good things she said about Perry.
I never said that she would endorse him, you brought that up.
No problem! I remember how some here got whipped into a frenzy when a now banned freeper only posted part of that article. The best part was when Palin admonished the reporter for terrible journalism. LOL.
CNN,Rasmussen etc, are begging Governor Palin not to run.
Yup, she did that too, lol.
She did say that ‘there wasn’t a candidate she would support’ for the primaries...I heard her.
An unprecedented media attack on Sarah which has continued since her nomination has some of the lemmings afraid of her. Only a master politician would be able to survive such an attack.
Had the Treason media given Obama 1/10th the scrutiny it gave Sarah, he would still be disgracing Illinois in the Senate.
No politician since Reagan has been subject to such an attack essentially for no reason but fear. No politician has been subject to such an UNWARRANTED attack. What has she done to deserve this?
Um, OK. potlatch gave you numerous posts where Palin praises Perry. I gave you proof that Palin campaigned for Perry in Texas.
These are factual quotes and photos. You and some others keep saying “I heard it with my own ears”, and I can’t find anything to support your smear of Palin. And yes, you guys are smearing Palin by claiming she said something that nobody can find proof of her saying.
Crazy, imperfect Palin! ;)
You are delusional. The Treason Media has NEVER supported Perry.
That is not why she resigned and I think you know it.
David Axelrod, Pete Rouse and the Democratic machine ginned up a bunch of left wing bloggers in Alaska during the 2008 presidential campaign. After Barack Obama won the presidency, the attacks on Sarah Palin didn’t stop. These Democrat operatives knew that this day would come. In order to prevent this, they went on a concentrated smear campaign against Governor Sarah Palin which resulted in the filing of over 2 dozen frivolous complaints which would later be dismissed but only at great financial expense to the state of Alaska and the Palins personally. It also consumed her administration’s time doing the research to defend against the charges. According to state law, those filing charges are out no expense, even if they lose the case. There was even a Democratic blogger in Texas who file several of the charges [one which was just recently dismissed].
Before you condemn Governor Palin for resigning, ask yourself this question. Would you stay at a job where all your paychecks were being spent to fight false accusations against you and the company you worked for could no longer function because of it? Would you go into debt, bankruptcy and personal financial ruin just to stay in your position because your ego and your pride wouldn’t let you do the right thing for your state and your family?
[I heard Palin say she did not see any candidate she would support....I thought it was on her bus tour?]
You wrote that to someone else earlier. Both of you say you heard it but there are no sources to be found and you’re not sure where or when it was said.
Perhaps she did, I just did not find any source for in in my search.
