PalinTracker: What’s Happening on September 3?

And the last thing our Republic can take is another pay-to-play, big government crony capitalist. To put Perry together with Congress would be a complete disaster.

The GOP would also be out on its keister again in no time. Deservedly, but even an earnest independent tea party effort would probably just put the Dems in power again.

[Windflier]

Denial and ridicule won’t boost your candidate, my friend.

You seem to be all in, and betting the farm on a horse who’s never run a major race. Good luck with that, but I’d just try to be cautiously optimistic at this point, if I were you.

It’s very early, and the real race hasn’t even begun. We have yet to see whether Perry is a real thoroughbred.

[Windflier]

I’ve read the transcript of that Perry speech, and it’s disturbing.

Perry supporters claim that he was speaking about a hypothetical future in which there’s no need for Mexicans to illegally cross into our country. That’s all fine and dandy, except, when Perry made that speech, such a future was scarcely imaginable. It still isn’t. That country is broken, and there’s no evidence that it will ever fix itself.

It was an ill-advised statement at best, and pandering at worst.

I’ll be happy if Palin throws her hat in the ring September 3rd.

However it’s the weekend before 9/11.

If she chooses not to compete with that anniversary, I’ll gladly wait.

[Windflier]

Gonna shock you, I agree with you on Rick Perry.

So what's your deal? Do you just dislike all of the leading contenders, or are you leaning toward any of them?

[Windflier]

...the last thing our Republic can take is another pay-to-play, big government crony capitalist. To put Perry together with Congress would be a complete disaster.

I can't agree more. Perry has never shown the first sign of being the type of revolutionary reformer/outsider that this country needs in the White House. He knows how to play one on the campaign trail, but once he's back in office, it's back to big government, crony politics as usual.

At best, the man's a center-right Moderate. He's not a firebrand crusader who will take a wrecking ball to the establishment status quo in Washington. He'll fit right in with that culture.

[Sudetenland]

LOL! "Never run a major race?!?!"

Too funny! What is your performance schedule? I'd like to catch your comedy act.

How about, not only run in a major race, but WON three of them in a row, served out 2 1/2 COMPLETE terms--hassles or no hassles, law-suits or no law suits. What has Vice-President Palin got to show . . . OH! That's right, SHE DIDN'T WIN her election bid as Veep wannabe.

Perry's got the bona fides that Palin only wishes she had. Palin's great, but she doesn't hold a candle to Perry either in the experience field or in successful campaigns.

The denial and wishful thinking are all on your side.

Yeah, I'm all in for Perry unless he fails to deliver in the debates or stumbles on something of substance, because I'm in it to defeat Obama and do so with a real conservative. Cain isn't going anywhere, Bachmann's a prima donna who is going down rapidly, Santorum has never gotten off the ground, and Palin ain't running--she's going to run for the Senate instead.

So, yeah I'm all in for Perry. He's the only rational choice.

As for me being "cautiously optimistic," don't worry, my day doesn't begin and end with Rick Perry, unlike so many of the Palinistas, I am not a cult member, I just know a good thing when I see it and I am unwilling to allow LIARS to smear him with false and erroneous information simply because they can't beat him with an affirmative defense of their own choice.

Don't you worry though, America will be far better off with President Perry and Senator Palin in office.

Palin / Perry 2012.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Pot.

Kettle.

I’ve only ever seen you post on Palin threads. Whining.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Ditto

[9YearLurker]

Yep, I’m still trusting in people to see through him once they see enough of him, but it is disturbing to see him rise in the polls like this.

(I’m praying for Palin.)

[Grut]

Just to be perverse, I’m going to go with her not saying either “yes” or “no” just yet - but then vigorously attacking Obama and his administration as corrupt and incompetent. Just imagine her talking loudly about Gunwalker... how could the MSM ignore it, and her, then?

[Windflier]

I’m still trusting in people to see through him once they see enough of him, but it is disturbing to see him rise in the polls like this.

People will come back down to earth as they begin to sort the wheat from the chaff about Perry's record. He hasn't even begun to be vetted by the public yet, and the press is only just starting to examine his record.

We'll see how he fares when he's subjected to a full Palinoscopy.

That's a rare compliment, coming from you. Thank you!

[trisham]

Run Sarah, run!

[Windflier]

How about, not only run in a major race, but WON three of them in a row...

Oh, Perry managed to beat all of the liberal Dems, RINOs, Truthers, and wack job comedians he ran against. No question about that, but it's a mighty poor endorsement of his ability to compete on a national level against solid conservatives (of which he is not).

Perry's got the bona fides that Palin only wishes she had.

Heh... Now, that's just plain funny - I don't care who you are ;-)

[gov_bean_ counter]

Perry's favorables were 60% when the race against KBH started. KBH was at 75%. He was waaay behind with women, hence the initial endorsement from Palin,

Palin's favorables with Republicans and Pubbie leaning Indies is 78%.

The past couple of years she has been telling everybody elses story. I want to see what happens when SHE gets to tell her own story.

[Sea Parrot]

I don't think she will now announce on 9/3, just to shove a thumb in the PDS and LSM bleating herd's eye and keep them guessing.

Whatever Palin does and when, she will do it her way.

[Sea Parrot]

Dream on that she is not running, she will let you, and us, know when she is good and ready.
