I already know what Palin’s record on spending is — its mixed. She supported the “Bridge to Nowhere” and was pretty much a moderate. Take a look at:

I’m still deciding on Perry. Spending went up in Texas under his watch but on the part of the Texas budget he had some control over, he cut it. I’d say overall he is more of a fiscal conservative than Palin.
Then again, as much as I like Sarah Palin, I’ve never bought into the idea that she is some 100% conservative. She was a strong reform governor. Give her credit for that. But on taxes and spending, she was a moderate Republican.
Palin was as conservative as they come. Remember, conservatism requires sincerity and courage.
Her record on debt and allowing jobs to be created blew Perry’s out of the water.
Palin was conservative on taxes—she formed her tax policy directly from the Alaska Constitution. Imagine that!
