Per Ben Smith at Politico:

Perry said just now, per WHO Radio’s ag reporter, that he supports a “safety net” of subsidies or tax breaks...for corn farmers.

FLASHBACK:

Palin: “I think all our energy subsidies need to be re-looked at and eliminated,” Palin told reporters in response to a question about ethanol subsidies.

Y’all may find this bit of breaking news interesting...

Pandering politicians...ugh. Thanks for the ping.

[TexasCajun]

Scoreboard, Palin!

My local farmer friend says there's a trick to the corn market...farmers are investors....and they can lose their shirt if they don't play it right.

I've become friends with a few local farmers....They work their butts off. I'll take a less strenuous/risky job any day.

So we are hanging our hat on Polutico tweets to slam Parry now. They are noted for their honest journalism after all. Especially to Palin.

Sarah Palin is wreaking havoc on the campaign trail, GOP sources say

[tsowellfan]

Ben Smith, isn’t he a Romney supporter? He’s always sticking up for Romney and even referred to Trump as “the new Palin”.

No, WHO's agricultural reporter who asked Perry the question and got his reply.

I stopped reading Ben Smith’s stuff after he called Sarah Palin “scary” and wrote hit pieces on Tea Party candidates such as Bachmann and Perry while appearing to be a Mitt Romney apologist. He is no friend of the Tea Party, Rick Perry, Michelle Bachmann or Sarah Palin.

Not surprising at all. Texan version of Mitt.

[TBP]

Of course he does. I’d be surprised if he didn’t.

Liberals, Paulbots and RINO’s all hate Mr. Perry. Hmmmm, I wonder why? Even Slick Willy has jumped into the fray against Perry..something has them spooked.

[numberonepal]

So you are FOR farm subsidies?

[9YearLurker]

Ha! Liberals and RINO’s don’t like him because they think he transparently uses the name of God for votes, Paulbots because he’s a big-government crony capitalist. Romney’s simply a competitor for votes.

[goodwithagun]

Yes, they are marking who they want us to nominate. They know how to play this game. Regarding Perry, perhaps they are protesting too much. Who are they really frightened of?

[9YearLurker]

Funny, I haven’t seen his private emails hacked, his kids lied about and mocked, or his church burned.

[Graneros]

Yep that pretty much sums it up. Or in other words just the same ole big government style politician.
