What are you talking about? You’re a regular and consistent nitpicker re: Palin—and supporter of Perry.

I’m a nitpicker of people who claim to support Palin but say things about her that she didn’t say herself.

I’ve yet to find anyone who says this about me who can find a post where I attacked Palin (other than on her move to stop people from using the word “retarded” in a political context). I’ve defended Palin when she quit her governorship; I defended her when she endorsed John McCain. I defended her when others said she wasn’t conservative enough on one thing or another. More recently, I’ve posted information supporting her regarding her ACES program.

On the other hand, I’ve corrected her supporters when they’ve claimed she said things she didn’t, or when they twisted her words to make it seem like she supported their odd notions. I guess if I’m arguing by quoting Sarah Palin, and someone thinks the quote makes Sarah Palin look bad, they might think I’m attacking her. I never understood how you can attack someone by quoting them, especially when you agree with the quotes, but there you have it.

And I’m not yet decided about Perry. I’m not a “supporter” yet, although I am a defender. You can defend a person against attacks you find to be faulty, without actually sending them money and support. I’ll probably decide pretty soon though, maybe after the debates if Palin hasn’t joineed up yet. I haven’t found anything yet that will keep me from supporting Perry, but I just haven’t felt like I needed to pull the trigger and send him money yet.

I’m not waiting forever for a candidate. I did that in 2008 with Fred Thompson. I haven’t sent Palin money because I don’t do PAC money and she’s not a candidate. I toyed with supporting Bachmann, but then Perry got in, and everybody started attacking Bachmann for being mean to Sarah Palin, and I decided after defending her for a while that it wasn’t worth the effort.
