Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin joined Eric Bolling on Fox Business Network’s Follow The Money Wednesday night, and chimed in on several hot-button GOP issues, including the Donald Trump debate and Newt Gingrich‘s rise in the polls. But her most interesting comments came when Bolling got into the weight that her endorsement may carry.
“You know the endorsement that I’m most interested in?” Palin asked. “Ron Paul’s, to tell you the truth.” Palin said she didn’t agree with Paul’s foreign policy, pointing out that he wasn’t even invited to the Republican Jewish Coalition’s summit this week. But she said that he was “absolutely right on” when it comes to his stand on domestic spending issues. “He’s the one that Americans need to listen to when it comes to dealing in reality about this bankrupt path that we are on,” she said.
“So Ron Paul’s endorsement — not saying he won’t get the nomination, but in case he doesn’t — who it is that he chooses to endorse will give us a clear indication of who is on the right path with domestic spending that needs to be addressed. I’m very interested in hearing what Ron Paul thinks at the end of the day.”

Cook book that is...
Paul probably won’t endorse anyone. He’ll stay in, with no chance of winning, just to be a spoiler.
Ron talks good talk when it comes to fiscal conservatism. But he’s too crazy in other areas for me to even consider voting for him as Prez.
Neither do I.

But she said that he was "absolutely right on" when it comes to his stand on domestic spending issues.
Agree.
I do like what Paul said about foreign aid - taking from poor people in rich countries to give to rich people in poor countries.

Heh.
[ I do like what Paul said about foreign aid - taking from poor people in rich countries to give to rich people in poor countries. ]
I do like that line very much.

Seems to me people could just agree or disagree with out trying to trash some one, i think Sarah Palin is right on.
Not that i know much about Paul but all of the candidates have some things that many people disagree with, i for one think we need to stay involved at least where Israel is concerned, but i also think if we had of stayed the hell out of other nations we may not be in the trouble we are in now.
If not for us the Arabs would not even have any oil, and there may not even have been a U.N. that sure would sound good to me.
Ron Paul is not all wrong.
Probably the most cogent thing he has said regarding foreign policy.
His foreign policy is a non-starter as it is entirely too naive and isolationist. He isn't wrong on foreign aid though. Why ARE we funding Countries who hate us with our tax dollars?
He's good on RKBA and is much better on abortion than his "libertarian" leanings might at first suggest. L4L.org would be a good home for him.
His former newsletters anti-semitism, his horrible judgement in standing up on a podium with the likes of Kucinish and McKinney, his "ear marks" problem...
Not ready for POTUS by any stretch of the imagination. At his age, never will be IMO.
I wonder what Palin thinks about Bachmann. She's the most conservative person currently under consideration and still in the running... I guess I'm a bit biased as she's my Rep in the US House as well. :-) I pulled the lever for her then, I'll do it if she survives the Primaries as well.
...Pull me up a chair for this thread!
But what surprises me is when Sarah and Rush can praise Ron Paul's economic plan and still be critical of his foreign policy, given that the plan itself is only able to save SSI and Medicare in the short run by ending the wars and bringing the troops home. You can't do one without the other -- no one wants to hear it but we are broke. We've got money to defend ourselves and our country, but not to police and manage the world -- not that we've been doing such a great job of either for many years or we wouldn't be in the deep hole we are at today.
This could be veeeery interesting.

CHART OF THE DAY: Deficits, With And Without The Iraq War. “Do you see alarming deficits or trends from 2003 through 2007 in the above chart? No. In fact, the trend through 2007 is shrinking deficits. What you see is a significant upward tick in 2008, and then an explosion in 2009. Now, what might have happened between 2007 and 2008, and then 2009?

Absolutely. He thinks there’s no difference between Obama and Newt. He could kill the whole thing if he runs as a 3rd party.
