Exactly right.
Thank you, trisham.
I’ve never seen anything quite like this and it saddens me.
I started out trying to ask questions to learn about Governor Perry, because Governor Palin had endorsed him over KayBaileyH and Debra Ron Paul Medina, when Perry really needed the TEA PARTY vote and her help in his reelection.
I was met with the nastiest posts imaginable for daring to ask questions and was told to “get on board now because Palin is playing her supporters, never intends to run, can’t win, etc.” Wow.
The very last thing our beloved, conservative forum needs is a blow-up over Perry when he’s the new comer, which dictates that a lot of articles will be about him, both positive and negative, with the truth likely found somewhere in between, or maybe in each.
We all know flame bait when we see it and “Palin can’t win” is flame bait.
Likewise, I think “Perry is the only one who can win” is flame bait.
I remember the polls from Labor Day ‘07 and you might recall that President Guiliani was leading by 27%, followed by the newcomer VP Fred Thompson.
The eventual nominee, McCain had a paltry 8%, which just happens to be the same percentage NON-declared candidate Palin has in that idiot Faux poll, although she beats all the other declared candidates, save for the two front runners.
