Palin takes aim at GOP presidential candidates
The Hill ^ | September 12, 2011 | Josh Lederman

Posted on 09/13/2011 7:41:38 AM PDT by AAABEST

Palin even went as far as to lend her voice to the charge leveled by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) during the debate against Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R): That he allowed a law to go though requiring HPV vaccinations for adolescent girls because of a $5,000 campaign donation and his relationship with his former chief of staff, who went on to lobby for a pharmaceutical company.

"I knew there was something to it," Palin said of learning while she was Alaska's governor that her Texas counterpart had given the go-ahead to the vaccine. "Now we're finding that now, yea, something was up with that issue. It was an illustration or bit of evidence of some crony capitalism."

rabidly anti-Palin posts

Another lie. I'm not anti-Palin. I just know she has a 0% chance of winning the presidency, and I think she would be better served using her paid job to attack Obama instead of flip-flopping on Rick Perry. If that makes me a liberal, so be it. I call it reality, but that seems to be a distant concept on FR these days.

Bikk, I do not think the PDS brigade has thought through their cunning plan. Associating the boss of FR with being a ‘nutjob’ is not a smart thing to do.

So why do they post on a site that is 87% pro Palin?

Trollhenge has plenty of pillars to remember when they go the way of many before them.

No, as Governor, she could not reject it. That would be up to the Alaska legislature. And even if she could, why would she? The people have a right to choose for themselves, and their tax dollars did contribute to those funds. That’s not the point, though. The point is she did not attempt to shove it down their throats.

And, that’s not even the point. The real, and obvious, point of my post was that in my years here, I have gained a respect for you and your Conservative values and expressed views. Then you post a blatant lie like that.

You said “the Alaska gardasil policy SHE put in place.” A lie like that I would expect from a frothing at the mouth left wing nut job, not from you.

I think calling somebody a liar is “impugning their integrity”. I also think you’re impugning Gov. Palin’s integrity by implying that she is being bought by money.

The idea that Perry would harpoon himself for a measly 5 grand is prepostrous. For Palin (and Bachmann) to accuse him of doing so borders on slander.

The idea that Crony Capitalism refers only to campaign donations is preposterous. This episode certainly needs to be aired out unless vetting of candidates only applies to some and not others.

I don’t blame her, I would have supported him over KAY Rino Bailey since she was ask to help him. Perry was sinking until she came in. This explains it for me/politics. Good that she has spoken out. Sometimes, things bother you. It seems funny seeing some of the guys complaining about the women taking it to the guys. Guess it’s only to win what some want. been there. done that. Even if Perry makes it, it will be a tough election with all of his stances/the border/aide to illegals. Too bad, there were not others in this game, like Rubio. So tired of Perry already like some are of Palin and Bachmann.

Palin needs to either get in or get out then shut her mouth.








That pretty much sums up all of the PDSers..

I think calling somebody a liar is “impugning their integrity”.

If that person is lying, then that person is a liar. It speaks to that person's integrity, and that person is a liar in my book.

you’re impugning Gov. Palin’s integrity by implying that she is being bought by money.

She is being bought by money. That's how capitalism works.

I also wonder about her integrity regarding Rick Perry. Last night Palin said she had concerns about Perry and Gardisil when still governor of Alaska, yet that sure didn't stop her from enthusiastically campaigning for him last year in Texas.

maybe even standing up to the heat in one debate with the rest of the actual contenders.

LOL!! A piece of cake compared to the 3 year heat the media 'tried' to cast her way. She's still standing - everyone still listens when she speaks.

What candidate on stage does that apply to? NONE! Who is THE WORLD waiting to see if they run - SARAH! Because she is the ONLY one who will make a difference - they rest will put band aids on the system and over the cliff at a slower rate. Sarah is the ONLY one who will RESTORE it. Geez, the liberal commie and RINO world knows that - why don't you?

I agree 100%... one was even zotted last week for saying something very similar ;)

I can tolerate people with a valid argument.. but when they start looking and sounding like libs, I think they should realize they don’t belong on this site.. ;^)

Actually, that's how slavery works.

In a Perry vs. KBH matchup, I’d vote/support Perry too.
Most would/did.
Problem PDSer?

Why did she support either of them? If Perry is corrupt and can be bought, and Palin had concerns about it years ago, that doesn’t say much for her judgement, does it?

And so it came to pass that The Book of Zot was taken from the holy altar in preparation for yet another unfortunate and easily avoidable entry.

It’s way past time for her to announce either way as she’s injecting herself into it and commenting like this now.

I hope she enters the race. If she is going to, I agree this is not a position that is helping her: sitting on the sidelines criticizing the players on your own team that are in the game.

Gov. Palin’s time is paid for, not her ideas and integrity. If you’re implying that Palin is in only doing what she’s doing and saying what’s she saying because Fox is paying her, than you are questioning her integrity.
