Add excusing and rewarding illegals too. Never thought I’d see the day on FR...
And they say Sarah is dumb............lol. I am loving this.
She set the sub conscious image that they all are seeing her as the leader. She’ll let Bachman falter then step in.
you’re so right, so many are intent on the circular firing squad. Mind boggling.
Crony capitalism isn't measured just on campaign donations. There are favors done, payoffs under the table, money placed in offshore accounts, job offers for family or friends, etc.
Gov. Palin had no criticisms for Bachmann or Romney specifically. She had criticism (and rightfully so) for Perry.
It seems to me someone is not making such a criticism of the frontrunner in order to act as a king maker, but rather as a candidate.
(*Putting on my flame-retardant suit as I type.)
Sounds good to me also.
That is true. Perry wasn’t good on that answer. He was absolutely correct, it’s absurd to accuse him of being bribed into the Gardisil decision. It wouldn’t matter how much money it was, it’s an insulting thing to accuse someone of without any evidence.
And she didn’t even accuse him directly of it, she took the coward’s way out, making the insinuation, leading people to the conclusion, but without having to take responsibility for the charge.
But he could have just said that if she wanted to accuse him of taking a bribe, she should just come out and say it, and show evidence of it.
So many Perry plants here tonight it’s like a JUNGLE.
No, vaccines are not mandatory.
The SCOTUS affirmed the religious belief protection a long time ago.
If you love your kids, you protect them from ignorant, over zealous government.
THird party guarantees an Obammy win.......No wya in hell would Sarah do that,Unless I completely misread her motives.
Excuse it all you want, it shows something disturbing about senor Perry.
She likes the attention. She's milking it. Pee or get off the pot.
If she doesn't stop playing head games with people, more people are going to grow to dislike her.
Sure, it's great she was on our side, but her act is starting to burning out.
One of the great things about Palin is that the DBM scoured thousands of her e-mails and found nada, nothing, zip, nada.An amazing feat for anyone in politics today.
Did you notice that Romney didnt call them illegal aliens or even illegal immigrants
He went straight to LATINOS and didnt even touch on immigration...
How utterly liberal of you.
Newt just knew that she was on before so he wanted to butter her up. Be honest, you think if someone had interviewed Newt this afternoon he would have even brought up her speech?
Vaccines aren’t madatory anywhere I know of. I raised 6 healthy kids, vaccine free, and that is why they are strong and healthy.
Where do you live? Every time I had to register my kids for school, I had to show proof of vaccinations. I guess if you homeschool you could get around that.
