Sarah Palin needs to run. Rick Perry is unworthy!

Be wary dragnet2, the Perrybots will “kill the messenger”.

First it was Michelle Malkin, then Tammy Bruce.

Some are so desperate to defeat Obama they will overlook anything negative on Perry.

BUT LET THE VETTING BEGIN!!!! If not the MSM or pundits, then let it be the bloggers and alternative media!!!!!

Oh look, DU’s own anti-Rick Perry troll does another copy+paste!

"The tax swap created a net tax decrease, but...

lol

[icwhatudo]

...but the pds types will run with it anyway.

Perry’s not the problem. A electorate that could elect him to his position is the problem.

That was a poorly thought out tax bill. Texas already had a franchise/business tax with a lot of exceptions/loopholes but they screwed it up even worse. And all the paperwork you have to fill out just to prove you owe no tax sucks.

Apparently he gets a nasty little attitude when he doesn’t get to talk about the things he wants to talk about.

How about some numbers. What is the truth?

This is why so many people are leaving the state of Texas. The high taxes perry implemented.

That’s also why Forbes magazine lists Texas as one of the highest tax burden states in the us. We all need to move to Massachusetts. /sarc

I own a small service business in Plano Texas. My best friend also owns one as does my dad and a number of close buddies.

Business in Texas is great.

By the way, you do know Palin also taxed profits, right? You also know Alaska receives $1.80 from the federal government for every dollar it sends in. Texas receives 94 cents.

My point is that Texas is a thriving state creating half the jobs in the country, no state income tax, a net donor state, and a population of 24 million. It also has 60% of the U.S. Mexico border that it has to pay to defend, much of it on their own dime.

Palin doesn't have the experience in these matters. How do you run the U.S. budget when your experience with balancing budgets was taxing oil profits and getting almost double in federal dollars you send in.

Oh look, the first member of the Perry Apologist Team (PAT) has shown up right on cue.

Anytime any part of Perry's real-life history is given some air-time on FreeRepublic, the PAT shows up to try and make excuses for Perry, or attempt to shut-down discussion by variously accusing you of being from DU, being a SOROS puppet, or my personal favorite, "Your just a Perry Hater".

It never fails, it is almost as if someone gave them a script, sort of like Astro-Turfing.

Winner and to boot, some anti-Perry FReepers are eating it up like chocolate covered rabbit crap. =.=

No, she just cut the Alaska State budget by over a billion dollars, but like you said, she doesn't have experience in these matters.

“What is the truth?”

I dunno, but the more I read about Rick Perry, I get the feeling we’re being...

And people wonder why Palin hasn’t announced yet. There’s not enough rope in the world for our current candidates. I’ll give Bachmann a pass but coming from MN doesn’t give me a good feeling. They’re too lib for me.

[engrpat]

Well said, thank you.

Being born and bred in Texas, and still here, Perry is not my first choice for president.

However, if he’s the nominee, he will get my vote.
