I agree that Sarah will not endorse until the nomination is set. I can’t think of any reason why she should, nor what there would be to gain for her, or for the Republican party.
An endorsement would be divisive for some and helpful to no one because of the fall out is my best guess.
I hope we can get the most truly conservative candidate out there that can beat Obama - we’ve got a tough road ahead of us because the media is in the tank for him. I truly believe that he is the enemy of my country - and he is within the gates. We’re going to need all hands on board and this kind of infighting that I’m seeing on this forum is not going to help.
These are scary times, I hope we can all unite against our common enemy.
I can only assume that Palin has got a lot of feelers out right now - the last thing on earth she would want to do is to declare & then not end up being the nominee. That would pretty much finish her up as far as having any kind of influence in the future. She is a patriot and wants to serve in whatever capacity that she can do the most good. I would guess that internal polling is not in her favor right now, or she would have already declared.
Unfortunately, the media has done a lot of damage to her. She is wise enough to know this & to know that if she doesn’t enter the race this time around - she still has a shot in the future. She is young enough to have plenty of time to work on that. I don’t know if Perry is the one that can do it, but right now the polls seem to indicate that he’s got a fair shot at it.
One of the amazing things about the hype for Perry's standing as TX gov. is the omission of a chief complaint against Bush when he ran--i.e. the TX gov. is not very powerful.
Still, if Perry wins, I will support him, or Mitt, or Giulianni.
Actually, I would like Giulianni above Perry or Mitt, because he was great at reforms. None are my first choice.

“...will have nothing to do with the new priorities you would impose on it...”
-
You are hallucinating.
What are these priorities you claim I have imposed???
“...You are headed directly towards provoking a third-party..”
-
You, sir or madam, are laughable.
Do us all a favor and go check your medications.
I agree

I know the video by heart, thanks. Taxation is the major - but not the only - aspect of federal intervention in the economy. You are correct when you say this intervention in the economy is the core problem that the Tea Party was born to address. You are incorrect to attach any social cause that is not ultimately grounded in government stepping beyond its legitimate bounds.
Here’s a good example that will illustrate the difference between Tea Party and Social Conservative: teaching homosexuality in the schools.
Liberal position: teach kids gay sex
Social Conservative position: it’s immoral to teach kids gay sex, or any kind of sex at all - that’s a parenting function and not a school function
Tea Party position: sex should never make the cirriculum at all, that’s not what schools are for, and if a school has the money to teach that then it has too much money and should get its budget cut by whatever is spent on overreaching nonsense.
Historical note: “Taxed Enough Already” was used as a rallying point for the 4/15/2009 tax protests.
All I can say is this. If a RINO ends up being the GOP nominee, I will vote AGAINST Obama, but I will not waste one penny or one second to campaign for that nominee.
“Perry has no Tea Party chapter endorsements! Not even from his own Texas backyard. Hummmmm, I wonder why???”
That statement alone shows that you are clueless about the Tea Party. Need I remind you that the Tea Party is made up of individuals. There are no elected leaders. There are self appointed leaders.
Exactly! I also have a problem with a Governor who allows ATF in his own state to supply arms to Mexican drug cartels and rolls over yelping like kicked puppy when Zero refuses wildfire assistance to Texas and helps the Mexican fight theirs.
If it wasn’t on his radar screen 45 days ago, why did Gingrich’s team quit en masse and sign up with Perry 79 days ago?
Thanks! I only want to see Rick Perry get the same scrutiny any other candidate(on our side) gets.
Working in the purchasing department of a corporation wasnt on my radar screen 45 days before I got my last job. Things change.
By the way, as a side note, I heartily agree with repealing the 17th, and I would suggest taking the 16th with it on its way out the door.
Noooes!!! Perry supporters won't stand for that!!.....
How do you really feel :)
Here's what our friend "Mario Piperni" has to say about himself:
Alright, left isn’t always right but it sure as heck is right more often than not. As a transplanted Canadian living in southern Florida, U.S. politics has been one of my deep held passions for the last thirty years. In that time I’ve come to the firm conclusion that liberalism, as imperfect as it might be, can be equated with logic, compassion, justice and just plain common sense.
And you have the unmitigated gall to claim that Perry supporters aren't conservative enough for you, when you're carrying the water for the 'RATS?
ROFLMAO
