[Despite her high-profile endorsement of Rick Perry during his 2010 gubernatorial primary fight, Palin used thinly veiled language to leave little doubt that she sees the Texas governor and national front-runner for the Republican nomination as part of the problem.
“Some GOP candidates, they also raise mammoth amounts of cash,” Palin said. “We need to ask them, too: What, if anything, do their donors expect from their investments? We need to know this because our country can’t afford more trillion-dollar thank-you notes to campaign backers.” ]
Funny, I thought that was a swipe at Romney not Perry. What makes RCP think that was a swipe at Perry?
“What makes RCP think that was a swipe at Perry?”
Because they WANT it to be so.
Anything to help the liberal anti-Perry ‘narrative’. I’ve got the picks of Sarah smiling with some college-aged “Americans for Perry” t-shirt wearers to suggest otherwise.
Well, it was. Ole Rick likes to lives high on the hog. When the Governor’s mansion caught fire and became useless, he chose to live in the high-rent district.
There was an earlier thread about a Texas homebuilder named Bob Perry who donated one million dollars to the Republican Governors Association and the RGA donated the money to Perry. This helps explain why Perry is pro illegal alien, open borders and opposes e-verify.
Oddly enough, Mitt Romney was head on the RGA and funneled the money to Perry.
Endorsing someone for Governor doesn’t mean you would endorse them for POTUS. I took Sarah’s remark as a message to Mitt, Perry, but mainly to Obama.
“It was no mystery that the barbs were aimed at Texas Governor Rick Perry,.... who has spent most of his career in office and who is consistantly dogged by charges of rewarding his financial supporters.”
