Wall Street Journal ^ | August 29, 2011, 2:32 PM ET | By Danny Yadron

Posted on 08/29/2011 2:24:17 PM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

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 poll’s 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.

There's only one reason you posted that odd and refuted story from a year or two ago, it was to deflect criticsm of your candidate.

You clearly did it to defame, I just refuted your stupid post, and you're not capable of dealing with what I said, so I'm going to remind you:

Your intent to defame Palin's family for using Canadian health care is a perfect example of you lying. You wanted to prove that she was somehow a hypocrite for opposing national health care because her family used Canadian hospitals when she was little and her family was out in the wilderness where the closest hospital by far was over the border. Both sides of that border used hospitals from the other country when they had to, it's virtually a wilderness, yet you posted a link supposedly proving (in your small, perverted mind) that she's a hypocrite.

You're not just hinting at a criticism, you're going to the cesspool of liberal critique, one that exaggerates, defames, and out and out lies.

You're a despicable poster who knows what he (she?) is doing. You do this a lot, and frankly it's disgusting.

You are truly a liar, and don't belong on this forum.

Nice dodge skippy. You can't refute what I said, so you punt like a coward.

You're a disgraceful example of someone calling himself a conservative. Lying to make your point on this forum doesn't cut it.

Given all of that, Perry believes that if they are going to be here, it is better that they are educated than not and his DREAM Act isn't the huge liberal giveaway that the one in Congress is.

Before I start, I don't think illegal aliens should be admitted to colleges at all, unless they turned out to be a 21st century Einstein.

Some posters have claimed that the only illegal aliens who qualify for "in state tuition" under the Texas Dream Act are those who are "in the process" of applying for citizenship. Questions:

1) What if I am an illegal alien and apply for a "green card" and that application is rejected? Does the bureaucracy follow up and make sure I don't drop out of that process?

2) According to the official application documents, LINK, to be a "Texas Resident" you state "I have filed or will file an application to become a permanent resident at the earliest opportunity that I am eligible to do so."

If I am an illegal alien, why can't I just claim that I will file for permanent status at some unspecified future date to get the reduced tuition? The document does not list a time limit.

You still have not cited any lies I am supposed to have told. You have been reduced to making unfounded accusations and calling names. Seems like I have seen this with you before. Sounds like a pattern with you.

Here it is again, deal with it and show us all where I'm wrong (I know you won't because you can't):

You wanted to prove that she was somehow a hypocrite for opposing national health care because her family used Canadian hospitals when she was little and her family was out in the wilderness where the closest hospital by far was over the border.

Repeatin it three times doesn’t make it true - it just didpalys the fact that you have a limited imagination and a limited vocabulary. I see that a lot with some of the more fanatical Sarah supporters - they keep re-posting the same inane comments over and over again, as if repetition will give them some credibility. I’ll say it again: I don’t consider Sarah or her family to be hypocrits. I do consider posters like you to be.

I only clipped you into that post because you were offering facts about Palin and Perry, as was I.

Thank you for providing those factual quotes.

Boy, my fingers are getting tired - let's try that again:

Ignoring what I said instead of engaging is the sign of a coward.

You've shown that four times now, but I've come to expect it, now deal with what I said, or stfu.

I did deal with it - you just don’t want to accept it. Go away and bother someone else, troll. You’re not worth the time and effort to educate.

That is why Santorum is running. He lost his last Senate race & has zero shot of winning.

He should have already dropped out but he is staying to swing votes to an establishment candidate like Thompson did with McCain.

No you didn't, you didn't even address it.

I'll repeat it again FOR THE FOURTH TIME, so everyone can see you won't address it, because you can't:

You wanted to prove that she was somehow a hypocrite for opposing national health care because her family used Canadian hospitals when she was little and her family was out in the wilderness where the closest hospital by far was over the border.

Perry polled around 10% everytime he was polled in the mix of candidates until after hew officially got in the race.

And, his name recognition was only about 50% at the time.

No candidate has vaulted to the top faster, let alone by the margin Perry has. Perry is a major league candidate in a race of minor leaguers and recycled losers like Romney and Paul.

It Sure is funny that the only person that has been told not to run is Sarah Palin, Not Perry, not Romney, not McCain last time.

No one in the history in American politics has been told not to run as much as this women.

Why, because as Rush says, they will tell you who they are most afraid of,

SARAH PALIN!

Nope; because people are afraid that a second Obama term will permanently destroy this country and Palin cannot win in 2012.

She went through appropriate channels, as chairman of the ethics committee, and was unable to get the CBC to do anything about it. She resigned so that she could come at them as an outsider. She was able to accomplish the tasks and the offenders are now wearing orange jumpsuits.

What are the names of those "wearing orange jumpsuits"? What did Sarah do to put them there?

I probably don’t fit your audience for your question, because I don’t think illegal immigrants should get in-state tuition, and in Virginia we have not allowed illegal immigrants to get in-state tuition.

since illegals would probably want to become legal, I don’t see much chance that they would lie about wanting to be legal just to get into college, but I suppose it could happen.

I’m just not upset that Texans decided to spend their own money letting children of illegal immigrants get in-state tuition to their colleges. I’m not the least bit scared that Perry would support a national dream act, given that he has spoken against it, and is a strong state’s right candidate.

And the fact that he has “stood by his 2001 position” is a nice rebuttal to those who claim he changes his position on a whim to look conservative.
