Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin stumped for Gov. Rick Perry at a rally Sunday in suburban Houston, adding some national Republican star power to Perry's re-election campaign.
“I doubt there is another public figure in our country who gives liberals a bigger case of the hives than our special guest today,” Perry said. “At the very mention of her name, the liberals, the progressives, the media elites, they literally foam at the mouth.”
Palin appeared with Perry a day after the Republicans' most recent vice-presidential nominee addressed the first national convention of the anti-establishment “tea party” coalition in Nashville, Tenn.
Perry is firmly establishment in Texas but has campaigned as anti-Washington in his March 2 GOP primary race against U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison. He is seeking a third four-year term that would add to his tenure as the longest-serving governor in Texas history.

Remember, George W Bush supported Arlen Specter and was against his conservative Republican challenger a few years back.
I wasn’t aware of that roy111. I’ve heard her on several radio interviews of about 20 minutes each and she has only mentioned that she was a nurse.
Her constant playing of the “hispanic” card, however, is enough to put me off of her since it seems she would be very weak on border control of illegal aliens and is doing whatever she can to use her married name to garner hispanic votes.
At least Perry did run Operation Backup, wherein the Texas Rangers were used to support the Border Patrol in trying to stop the illegal entry into Texas. ....Hutchison helped to block completion of the border fence.
Sorry, I’m not voting for Perry, not after his last lying campaign. He’s nothing but a poser.
Why would Governor Palin talk of those issues? Is SHE running for anything?
No
Not yet...
I agree with the small ball stuff. They knock Palin for being “just” the mayor of a small town, but it is a good training ground. Ideas need to be rooted in experience. Baseball skill are best developed in the minors. Ditto politics.
Dr. Ron comes as more of a crank than Dr. Rand. The old man is a heck of a lot smarter than most pols, but he holds too many unacceptable opinions, and he is not very mellow. The younger Paul is much smoother.
Think whatever you want I dont care if you call me a closet liberal this only reinforces that you are emotionally invested on a politician. You are as bad as a obamabots. You just can stand any criticism of Palin..
I guess my little weewee brain uses critical thinking and does not follow every word she utters Im not suppose to question anything she does just go along and agree with her now I see how you work :D
can you follow up why am I scare of her? ..I not suppose to think for myself? Im suppose to put my trust on her? If I was afraid of her I would agree with her and not question her motives.Anyone daring to question her moves are automatically liberals? Is this how you are supposed to convince people that Palin is ready for the presidency? Control your emotions first,think for yourself then make your case for Palin,you are acting on emotions.<> Im not afraid of Rush I actually think he is a very great guy that fights for this republic I only question Palin's intelligence, I have not seen the Msm, again the same talking points for anyone daring to question Palin.
Not true. I supported George Bush too, but when he ran in the wrong direction on an issue, I joined the chorus of those who criticized him.
Where Sarah has earned criticism, it is due. You and other Palin haters on this forum are leveling scurrilous charges at her which are unfounded, and which she has not earned.
What I and others see, is that you and your friends have a hidden agenda in regards to Palin. Despite the fact that you've been given more than enough data (on this thread and others) to satisfy your doubts about her positions, you never acknowledge receipt of that information, you don't query it, nor do you discuss it any way. You also have not answered anyone's questions. You've just steamrollered on, as though no one's said a word.
That's the mark of a TROLL.
What friends?? You are not making yourself look sane when you make this false accusations. I cant believe I cant question her actions or question her motives or decisions that make me a troll. Just because I think for myself do not put my trust or my emotions on ANY politician left or right,I will wear the troll label as a badge of honor. Im not going to back down any RATIONAL criticism of ANYONE when one makes a blunder ;D
No. Not at all. No one is suggesting that you blindly follow anyone.
I suggest that you do what the vast majority of conservatives are doing. Listen carefully to what Sarah Palin is saying, and see if that generally comports with what you believe.
Most conservatives are in strong agreement with most of what Sarah Palin has said, both during the 2008 campaign, and since. Most conservatives are in strong agreement with her actions, as well, both in her public and private life.
She is as well-loved a figure among the right-conservative base as we have ever seen in this country. Her many, many public statements, as well as her track record of accomplishments, mirrors what conservatives believe in.
These are the facts. This is what is real. If you absolutely must disagree with the vast majority of conservatives (and Sarah Palin), then by all means, be my guest.
Just don't be surprised when conservatives here and elsewhere look at you cross-wise, and suspect your motives when you throw dirt on someone whom they revere as a true successor to Ronald Reagan and a patriot of uncommon caliber.
I agree what you have said youre right but just dont jump to conclusion and name call anyone right away, Politicians come and hopefully go but I only care about this nation as much as any conservative I just dont put myself in a label since I wont agree with any politician or a political party 100% . :D
Steamroller on, Marie. Bark at the moon, if you like.
See this is as easy as debating rationally but my problem is that no one can comment anything about her.I dont care about the FNC gig she has. Im talking about why is she putting herself in front of the tea party movement she not relevant in this movement no politician is because this is all walks of life protesting BOTH Parties.She should stay away from this because the MSM will be declaring soon that she is the leader of the Tea party movement leader of the tea adn it will lose any credibility.
In ne speech she is urging for new blood yet she is supporting typical self-serving,corrupt,I could-care-less-what-the people-want politicians like Mccain and Perry.
RUDE is more like it.....Grabbed her by the arm and took over the microphone to cut the press conference short......His jealously was embarassing to watch, and he needed his butt kicked for the way he treated her.....
Yes, Ron is a total loon.
I don’t agree much with Rand but he at least doesn’t want GITMO closed and wants the terrorists tried in a Military
tribunal.
I support Palin and I have no problem accepting criticism that has grounds in truth.
The problem here, as I see it is, on FR, is when people day after day offer the same lies over and over to support their position against Palin. They will not accept the truth even if it is right there in front of their face.
Other times, there is criticism related to personal preferences which is a non issue to me.
Finally, there is just negativity with no grounds or useful purpose. I never can figure out what the point of “she will never get elected” comments. How is that useful? If you don’t like her don’t vote for her. Fine by me.
By the way, my hubby and I don’t see eye to eye on Palin either, but he at least backs up his concerns without lies, or negativity, or nitpicking. He and I just agree that we have different opinions on her. He won’t burn bridges either, if she ends up the conservative choice, he said he will get behind her 100%.
They will not accept the truth even if it is right there in front of their fact
this can also apply to people that support Palin they make her out to be this candidate that cant make a mistake like Obama.
