Your PDS continues, what’s the matter? Are you worried or something?

I don’t have to decide that yet.

I agree with you. I don't think anyone who expresses dissatisfaction with Palin, or Perry, or Romney, or anyone else in the field should be put on the spot with a snarky "Oh yeah? who's your candidate, then?"

We all have time to wait and make up our minds.

Here, read this excellent post by Freeper Logic n’ Reason:

One down...four or five to go....one not yet announced.
Mrs. Palin is remaining quiet....she is waiting....she knows her battle plan....she knows her timing.....she is learning....studying the opposition....guarding the “cubs”....waiting quietly with an occasional “roar” (like the comments at the Iowa State Fair).....reconnoitering the challengers from within and the enemY from without.....studying weaknesses....building and conserving her strength....endlessly practicing....reading...honing her skills.....waiting.....waiting.....

This war has not yet begun. What has been seen of the other candidates to date has been nothing but minor and irrelevant skirmishing. Candidates in...candidates out....candidates winning....candidates losing.....candidates saying silly things.....candidates saying cogent, insightful things....

It is a very very long way to next November. There is no need to rush. In her mind’s eye, Mrs. Palin smiles knowingly and remembers the words of Napolean, “Never interupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.” and General Patton, “Our basic plan of operation is to advance and to keep on advancing regardless of whether we have to go over, under, or through the enemy. We are going to go through him like crap through a goose; like shit through a tin horn!”

When she arrives, you can count on total war. She has learned how to fight. She does not spin; she does not back away from principles; she means exactly what she says...and says exactly what she means. She builds a base of support because of who and what she is....not because of who or what she panders to.

Patience.....patience....

Wait for it!

And keep the faith....

I’m right there with you. We, the undecided, have plenty of time to decide who we want to support. It’s so childish to continue with the “Who’s your candidate?”.

I don’t have a candidate yet.

I don’t understand your question. I’m not running for president snd I rip Perry every chance I get.

Are you seriously saying that only announced and aspiring pres. candidates can criticize each other?

That happens because of the constant trolling on candidate threads. It would be nice if that stopped too. How can you get any info if all you read is flame bait?

“will a real conservative/libertarian who understands and is willing to fight for free markets please stand up, or will RINOs snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.”

Please DON’t use the term LIBERTARIAN to describe any REAL conservative like Palin. That title has become synominous with wack jobs like Ron Paul or drug legalizers. I personally associate it with anarchists.

So, in my opinion....there is no such thing as a CONSERVATIVE LIBERTARIAN...it is an oxymoron.

Words mean things.

By what standard? Please don’t say the polls, as nobody knows anything about him yet.

Personally, I find it hard to believe that Palin will take a swipe at Perry. IF she does, I think it will be for the purpose of admonishment and correction, not to tear down.

"I hope and expect Palin will aim her sights at Obama, rather than the GOP frontrunner (who she has endorsed in the past.)"


I am not a Palin fan, but would assume that is pretty likely.

If Palin is not going to run then why has she been ripping Perry almost continuously since he announced?

Sarah is not ripping Perry. That is media spin.

The reference to "Crony Capitalism" refers to the shenanigans on Wall Street and Washington politicians picking winners and losers.

Palin was stressing "Crony Capitalism" way back when Perry was running for reelection as Governor of Texas and was not even on the Presidential radar screen.

If you want to know what Palin means by "Crony Capitalism", read this article that Sarah wrote one year and a half ago on April 23, 2010:

Institutionalizing Crony Capitalism, By Sarah Palin, Apr. 23, 2010

Sarah wrote that "Crony Capitalism" article in April 2010. Eight weeks earlier, Sarah had endorsed Perry for Governor of Texas at a Houston campaign rally.

It is the Washington Post that has decided to play "Gotcha!" with Perry on this issue, NOT Sarah.

By linking what Sarah has been saying for years with Perry, you are just helping to carry the Washington Post's water.

I’m truly trying to read all the info I can on each candidate but sometimes I give up because it becomes such a food fight. I was reading an article about Perry this morning. People were being called Romney supporters, which I guess is the new insult, if they didn’t immediately condemn the article.

In the end I have no idea who I will support. I may have to vote for somebody without actually supporting them.

It has gotten bad. Emotion and politics don’t mix. I understand passion. But not middle school antics. That only stirs enmity.

You know what Granny - more I read your posts more I think you are an obamabot. Not even Perry or Romney. And a jaleous liberal woman. So sad.

Will you be objective to what she's saying and admit it if she does not say anything of substance?

Ok Grandma, please define "substance".

Conroy, Hamby and to a degree Walshe. They were on her bus in ‘08, they got the scoop and advance notice on her bus tour in ‘11, and they ‘have access’.

She did NOT. See Post 211.

In February 2010, Sarah endorsed Rick Perry for reelection as Governor of Texas.

In April, 2010, Sarah wrote an article spelling out exactly what she meant by "Crony Capitalism".

In August, 2011, the left-wing media is spinning that "Crony Capitalism = Perry".

IF she does, I think it will be for the purpose of admonishment and correction, not to tear down.

Sarah requires neither admonishment nor correction. Sarah has stayed "on message" in regards to "Crony Capitalism" since the time she endorse Perry in the Spring of 2010.

The individuals that require "admonishment and correction" are the individuals that are carrying the water of the left-wing media by distorting Sarah Palin's record on this subject.

This "Crony Capitalism = Perry" Big Lie is nothing more that left-wing media agitprop.

One thing is for sure...when Palin announces her decision; heads will be exploding all over the place...it will just be a matter of whose heads will be exploding...

If this is true she might announce at the debate. THAT would really be highly visible where nobody could miss it, like she said. It would also take away the impact of any other candidate’s talking points. At least I think she will announce before then.

Someone is playing “Let’s you and him fight” or “divide and conquer” and, after reading much of this thread, I see it is working pretty well. Who really benefits? O, let me think about it. O.
