Palin: 'More power to Rick Perry'
By: Alexander Burns
August 18, 2011 03:16 PM EDT

Sarah Palin, who said once again today that she's still open to a 2012 presidential bid, tells Fox News's Megyn Kelly that she's on Team Perry when it comes to the Federal Reserve:

“More power to Rick Perry for calling it like he saw it, and the president in his typical reactionary way, did elevate Rick Perry and what it is that he had to say. And what Rick Perry had to say is what I wrote about 10 months ago, about quantitative easing and how monetizing our debt and printing more money in order to, essentially, devalue our dollar and devalue the problem that we’re facing today, with the debt that’s being incurred. What Rick Perry was talking about is what many of us have been talking about for many, many months, and that is the danger of, now, a QE3 program being put into place. And you know, he used some of that rascal type of rhetoric that he uses there in Texas and evidently the president took some issue to that. But it’s evidence, too, though, of our president’s arrogance, unfortunately, to tell a presidential candidate what to say, what not to say.”

WHAT! Wow, do you ever reach for crap! Hate to tell ya, if she ain't running, she won't endorse anyone until there's a winner.

But keep living in fantasy land.

Right now, I think Perry is the best candidate we’ve got. I just don’t go in for velvet painting style aggrandizement of politicians. I don’t need to see the man beautified like a Jesus portrait on a porcelain plate to vote for him. I find it slightly disturbing, actually.

Perry is not my first choice, but I don’t think the 2012 election will be the cakewalk some expect. I hate to admit it, but I think it will take a politician to beat Obama - someone who is good at reading people and saying what they want to hear.

If Perry gets the nod, I’ll support his election. I will also watch him like a hawk, because I do not trust his gut instincts. Once in DC, surrounded by liberals, I think he’ll sing a very different tune - or at least will try.

Isn’t it funny we haven’t really heard much from Perry on any national issues until June.

A Perry/Palin ticket would unite the conservative division and heal the nation.

Gag me with a spoon, did I write that?

I can certainly buy that. I've seen too much hero-worship over the years myself, and at best it usually leads to dissapointment. Or worse. Then again, people are people after all, and one person's masterpiece is another man's 'Elvis on velvet', if you know what I mean.

Perry isn't perfect by any stretch, but yes, I agree he's the best thing going right now. He needs to tone down the rhetoric a notch or two -- he can do just as well without it. Not perfect, but as usual, "the perfect is the enemy of the good".

How about VP? I wouldn't mind Palin as second-in-command. I'd prefer her to Bachmann, although I prefer either lady to any of the men in the running.

Palin will never be anyone's VP again. Perry couldn't handle the attention she got at the Governor's Convention and stormed off stage. And Perry's ego is too big to play second fiddle to Palin.

This ticket will never happen.

Ah, I was WATCHING this — DON’T read too much into this. She was AGREEING with Rick about a SPECIFIC POINT, not ENDORSING his candidacy. A few minutes later, she made that CRYSTAL CLEAR and said she was STILL considering entering the race — that NOTHING was out of the question. NICE TRY POLITICO. Wishful thinking lol

Well since he asked for her help, I wouldn’t expect her to say something bad about him, would you? She endorsed him for Governor very early because she knew the challenger, KBH would be much much worse.

This isn’t just for that campaign. Their close relationship has been documented. By all accounts, she likes and respects him.

So....a vote FOR a certain candidate s a vote against his or her opponent? Then we better not hear any FReeper refusing to vote against Zero’s opponent or we can justifiably view it as a vote for Zero!

That’s a good thing for a Governor who holds state, not Federal, office.

I want my governor focusing solely on my state.

Look I will vote for Palin if she runs and gets the nomination but many people talk about the QE from Rush to Hannity to Palin to Perry. It's common knowledge what this can do.

Perry is kicking down doors and he is also my candidate and I know he is a tough sob. Palin walked around for quite a while saying "fight like a girl" or "woman up" and she did fine

Perry is showing the Republicans how to "fight like a man" and it scares them badly and I like it.

For the record, I like the idea of conservative men and women all fighting against this group.

What you posted was confused, if 61% of Texans voted against Perry’s reelection, then of course 61% were voting against him and for someone else.
