No way Perry/Palin. This would turn into a huge horrible negative campaign. All the old false rumors about her would be resurrected. It would detract from the real issues.

I agree with you. She may be of benefit to the GOP, but certainly not as a candidate. If she were on the ticket, the watchword would be, “You ain’t seen nothin’ yet!”
 
Perry-Santorum 🙂

Although, if I had to bet the farm on it, I would say Perry-Rubio

At least Santorum is not willing to jump on the Perry bandwagon.

All this Perry euphoria in the polls is just about a pretty face. Texans know him and don’t like him that much. We can do better.

I see this is all going in the same direction as it did last election. The loyal (and blind) Republicans are so anxious to be rid of Obama, (and aren’t we all) that they are perfectly willing to anoint yet another pretend conservative who has done nothing to earn their allegiance. When did the GOP abandon the “America First” tradition that used to be so prevalent? The real conservatives are ostracized from their party so forget about any real reform because it appears to me to be the same old scam. How sad that independents may be forced to vote third party for lack of any other choice. I’m earnestly reading everything I can on Perry and the negatives are becoming too strong to ignore. Yes, I agree, we can do better, but we won’t.

This constitutes the best possible endorsement of Palin!!!

I don’t agree that we are going in the same direction as last election. Thanks to the Tea
Party, I don’t think that is possible. My support of Perry has a lot to do with his character
and integrity. He is strongly and unashamedly pro life. (And, yes,I have heard the fact that
were he a catholic, he has done something wrong with his sterilization.)
What are the negative that you are reading about?
By the way, any of the current presidential candidates would do very well and are heads above McCain.

Nobody is forced to vote for a thrid party candidate. Depends on what’s important to you. I suppose if you absolutely can’t live without seeing the U.S. adopt the gold standard and abolish the Fed, and if somebody who wants to do that doesn’t win the primary, and if the gold standard and abolishing the Fed are more important to you than the lives of the unborn, then I suppose you would vote third party and help Obama win.

But if you look at the potential Repub candidates, I sure don’t favor all of them, but as against Obama, I would not only vote for him/her, I would contribute to his/her campaign.

And i agree that Palin won’t run. I can’t see her doing it, particularly when she could be more effective as an independent campaigner than as a candidate. Seems to me that’s what she decided when she resigned from the governor’s office in Alaska.

I hope the GOP uses her effectively in the next year. If they can put together a cohesive message, then she would be a great asset as a floater, rallying the base at various congressional and presidential campaign events. 👍

You are so right. The truth is coming out, but will anyone listen? Doubt it.

Wow. Your uncharitable, mudslinging link (“pretty cheerleader,” “false Christian,” etc) just made me think less of Ron Paul and more of Rick Perry.

Yeah. Pretty low rent. One has to wonder whether Ron Paul encourages sites like that one, and hopes not.

I don’t think so. Ron Paul may not be the best choice for the Whitehouse, but he seems to be a gentleman.

Here’s just some of my problems:

A biggie: Usurpation of parental rights with the Gardasil issue. I especially like the way Michelle puts it:
pennlive.com/newsflash/index.ssf/story/michelle-malkin-rick-perry-is-bad-medicine/a1aa12edbc8f4ff5a66211d36e6dc951

And then there’s the unconstitutional Texas Enterprise Fund, and more of the short end of the trade agreement (Right Speak calls him China’s favorite candidate) along with the usual big spending, big government policies combined with taxes and more taxes.

There’s the TTC and the fact that he signed hate crime legislation that will probably help the gay activist political agenda. He supports the Dream Act. But I do keep telling myself that despite his support of the pro-choice Guiliano, he does appear to be pro-life, which, in the end, is what it’s all about. Maybe I’m just suffering severely from deja vu and nightmares that GWB is back.

Let Palin be Palin.

Perry/Palin in 2012!

He’d be better off with Michele Bachmann, the only one of the three who speaks English and completes sentences. 😉

Or Ron Paul, whom someone already mentioned as being a gentleman and knows the way the monetary policy screws all of us.

But who knows, it might all boil down to who knows the best Spanish. 🙂
