Praying for all of you. It’s a pity there’s not a way to get water from areas that have an excess to areas that desperately need it.

LOL, I didn’t look at the posts before commenting

It's a “people are losing their homes and lives” thread.

Nothing worth a “LOL”, is it? Scurry back under your rock, ghoul.

Wow. Take care of yourself and Godspeed. This looks like the Oakland Hills Fire (California) of 1991.

Maybe if there is only a little amount of time left in their term or if it’s just for a couple of months for the VP spot....There are over 300 million people here in the USA, there would be no shortage of candidates.

Are you serious? Why is running for VP different than running for President. Could it be that Sarah ran for VP while she held office so you are making an exception for her? You seem to have all the answers and think it's easy, so why don't you announce your candidacy?

No I didn’t bring up Palin which is what you accused me of doing.

Your signature said all I needed to know about your posting intentions in this thread. It's called deductive reasoning.

Too all Perry-haters spamming this thread:

WOULD YOU PLEASE JUST GO AWAY!

Take your hate to another thread.

This one is not the place. There are many people here who actually care about people whose lives are at risk. Many who have been up all night, like me, crying, worrying about friends and loved ones in the path of this monster fire, still trying to find out what is going on in certain areas - and we are just not in the mood for your despicable antics here.

Please, if you cannot put aside you pathological hatred of Perry long enough to support fellow Americans who are in great danger, if you cannot for just a moment overcome your hatred to offer a prayer or a word of comfort to those who are suffering, then please just go away.

For some reason the rabid Palin fanatics think that if they throw enough crap at Perry, somehow, Palin will become the nominee, or something like that.

It is not going to happen so why are they doing this?

Do you really not understand the difference between 2 months as a VP candidate and 14 or more months as the top of the ticket?

Seriously, grow up.

Then stop spewing baldfaced lies all over the Palin threads.

I even *PINGED* a gazillion Texans when I posted the replacement wildfire thread after the one by janet1998 (or something like that) had hers pulled.

Perry should've been at home anyway: think how the press treated Bush over Katrina.

Or how they treated Palin over Couric's interview and Charles Gibson's.

Perry won't be immune from it, so you'd better put on your big-girl panties and call yourself a Waahmbulance.

Better yet, call the Fire Trucks.

Cheers!

I’ll call it you being full of it.

You accused me of something I didn’t do but your your fellow Perry supporter did. You don’t have the guts to admit your mistake. I’m not surprised.

You’ve been a deceitful poster as long as I can remember.

I have NEVER spewed a lie about Palin or her chances. I pay attention, there is no demand for Palin to run for president.

I have never called her dumb or stupid and I won't there could be an outside chance she could be my nominee for president but the chances are extremely remote.

I still see no point in lying and trying to destroy one of our own. Perry is likely to be our nominee, so why give the RATS ammunition?

She ran towards the sound of the gunfire.

Perry runs to the sound of the campaign contributors' checkbooks.

Word!

Spot on. He’s still a sitting governor and retains all those duties despite his running.

Plus, it’s smart politics. He’s in the lead - stay above the fray. It’ll kill Romney.

I can’t say that I was looking at anything but her face, but if it’s of interest to you, Google might help.

I’m all grown up thank you. Why are you here? I’m here because I am a native Texan, my state is on fire, there are fires within 30 miles of where I live, loved ones are in danger and I want to see what FReepers in the path of the fires and with inside knowledge have to say. Lives and livelihoods are going up in flames today so take your Perry bashing to a more appropriate thread.

P.S. Maybe you could find it in your Perry hating heart to say a prayer for all of us.

I don’t hate Perry and if only you would admonish your fellow Perry supporters to stop attacking Palin on this thread, and then take that advice yourself, we could all move along.
