MANY MORE STICKER DESIGNS HERE

Governor Perry had harsh words for Republicans in Washington, projected confidence that Republicans can make a comeback in 2010, questioned why Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison would challenge him in the primary race for governor, and talked about Governor Palin's endorsement of his campaign.
Clearly, Governor Perry is proud of his record as governor, and his talking points reflect that. During our interview, he often guided the conversation toward his record as governor of the Lone Star State. For example, he told me: We continued to cut taxes ... to pass the most sweeping tort reform in the nation in 2003 ... we balanced our budget, we left $9 billion in our rainy day fund, we passed the most sweeping eminent domain for private property owners in the history of the state ... We did all that with a recession going on.
So does Palin endorsing a rino like Perry make Palin a rino too ?
In the next few years, Palin will be collecting IOUs and friends. Come 2012 or 2016, they will be cashed in.
They’re not calling Mittens or the Huckster....they’re calling PALIN.
If Perry is a RINO, then KBH is da Mother of all RINOS
....just sayin
Not a question a conservative would ask or contemplate.
If Sarah Palin doesn't get the nod in 2012 I predict she's through. Just like Hillary will never get the nod now.
I think Rick’s got a thang for Sarah.

At this stage, I would call Perry smart. He know the effect Sarah has on the base, and even some “independents”. I’m not all that sure about his policies as governor, but if he starts acting like Sarah on fiscal issues, I’m sure he can count on large swathe of the social-conservative base that follows Sarah.

Just ask Saxby Chambliss.
“If Sarah Palin doesn’t get the nod in 2012 I predict she’s through. Just like Hillary will never get the nod now.”
Not quite following the Hillary analogy. Sarah is 15 to 20 years younger and Hillary is overshadowed by Obama. Palin is not overshadowed (at the moment) by anyone she would have to run against.
I respectfully disagree. Hillary’s age, her baggage, and the fact she’ll would have to fight “O” in 2012 (who will have the advantages of being an incumbent with a large war chest, support base and ACORN) has made her a “one and done” candidate.
Sarah’s options are a little more varied. She could run for President in 2012, wait to 2016, run for Senate or stay the govenor. She’s still young and has popular support with the conservative base.
I'm not sayin’ that it's right, I'm just sayin’
that I can certainly see why he'd have a thang
for Sarah.
BTW, the last time I used the word “thang” on this site,
a lynch mob came after me.
Huh?
Isn't that "THAN"?
Go SARAH!!
No, its payback for Kay Bailey.
it’s like the GOP is playing to lose.
odds are good that the GOP will not ‘give her the nod’... since they are about as left as the middle of the road dems. they have demonstrator numerous times that they are not interested in conservatives.
not a shock to me. my congresscritters have done nothing for 10+ years, except do the bare minimum to get re-elected.
as for being represented... LOL... not only am i not represented, me and my kind are vilified and attacked regularly in the media and by government officials.
Palin will be a party bigfoot and viable Presidential candidate for the next twenty or thirty years. She need not rush things. She might find a turn as Senator, Energy Secretary, or talk show host to her liking for a while,and not as hard on her family. The day she decides to run for the top job, I’m all in for her, be it in 2012 or 2032.
Bogus.
Ann Richards, not Richardson
Thanks for the correction, I was close...:O)
I thought it was “silver foot.”
Why would she wait until 2016? She's popular now and needs to strike while the iron is hot. There is no Republican incumbent to run against in 2012, which might not be the case in 2016. B Hussein is making a terrible mess of things so 2012 would be her best chance and certainly the logical choice. By 2016 there would probably be some up and coming Republicans to contend with should the Rats win in 2012. And if she runs in 2012 and loses, forget about 2016. Anymore, it's a one-time shot. I don't see a Richard Nixon comeback ever happening again in my lifetime.
As for a Senate run, I really don't think she'll try to fracture the party and run against Lisa Murkowski in 2010 and then turn right around and run for president. Murkowski is not as unpopular as her father was. And the seat held by Democrat Mark Begich won't be in the running until 2014. No way is she going to run for that and turn right around to run for 2016, assuming she wins. And a loss would doom her for 2016. The only way she would run for the Senate is if she runs for president in 2012 and doesn't win. Then the Senate seat would be her consolation prize in 2014.
LOL Since you are the second one to correct me on old ma Richards, I guess I am dumber than I though..
I remember some of the sheer nastiness from folks like her and “Lord” Bentsen. In those days, the media would call it funny or “feisty.” If a Republican had made comments like that about Democrats, it would’ve been described as sardonic and mean spirited.
Rush used to do an impersonation of Ma’s line, “Pooooooorrrrr Geooooorggggge, heee cayynnt hayp eet, heee wuzz boooooorrnnn wuth a seeelllverrr foooooooooot eeen heees moooooowwwthhhh !”
Imagine George, Sr. responding with, “Poor Ma, she can’t hep it, she was born with a silver flask in her purse.”
Your last line is a beaut....chuckles to you..
Giggle.
...I’m readin’ on my Starbuck’s mocha cup, okay, the quote of the day? You’ll never believe what the quote was. It was Madeleine Albright, former Secretary of State, and U.N. Ambassador. And Madeleine has as her quote of the day for Starbuck’s — now she said it, I didn’t — she said, ‘There’s a place in hell for women who don’t support other women.’
- Sarah Palin, Rally Carson CA 10/04/08
Gee, Sarah, I guess you really didn't take the Starbucks cup to heart.
"then" Governor Palin?
try "than"
