Rick Perry Leads While Voters Want Sarah Palin on the Sidelines
Sunshine State News ^ | September 3, 2011 | Kevin Derby

Posted on 09/03/2011 7:24:40 AM PDT by AAABEST

A Fox News Poll unveiled late Thursday revealed that Gov. Rick Perry of Texas held a solid lead over former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.

(snip)

When other candidates -- including former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani -- were added to the mix, Perry remained in the lead. Both Palin and Giuliani have left the door open to running for the Republican presidential nomination.

Perry led that scenario with 26 percent followed by Romney with 18 percent. Palin took third with 8 percent followed by Paul with 7 percent.

(snip)

When Fox News looked at all voters, they found very little support for a possible Palin presidential campaign. Palin will be stumping in Iowa, which holds the first caucus, and New Hampshire, home of the first presidential primary, over the Labor Day holiday weekend.

Only 20 percent of all voters wanted Palin to run for the White House while 74 percent opposed the idea -- and the voters who wanted her staying out of the contest included a large part of her base.

A mere 25 percent of Republicans backed a Palin presidential candidacy while 71 percent were lined up against it. Even among voters who considered themselves part of the tea party movement, Palin flopped. Only 28 percent of the tea party voters supported Palin entering the race while 66 percent opposed it.

Ray and Leslie Sullivan.

And yes they are a married couple and I’m sure like all followers of Rickstinanity, you see no issues there.

Perry and Romney are working together. They’re ideological twins with intermingled campaigns.

Pure hogwash. You should stick with your policy concerns with Perry's record as opposed to conspiracy theories imagined by raving lunatics.

Perry and Romney's First Face-Off: if ever two candidates saw each other as Exactly the Kind of Guy I Don't Like, it would be Messrs. Perry and Romney. Mr. Romney's people see Mr. Perry as a dopey Texas barbarian. Mr. Perry's people see Mr. Romney as Northeastern, elite, effete and opportunistic. If they go head to head through the fall and winter, their contest could wind up looking like a scene in "Raging Bull."

From the fake Tea Partys such as the one
which attacked Gov. Palin from Texas
created by RINO Romney and Hudack (and Perry?)

to the FAKE polls in Texas "informing" Gov Palin not to run
created by PerryBOTs (and Romney?)
to the rumor-fomenting Sullivans in S.C.both in bed
with RINO Romney and RINO Perry
to the anti-Gov Palin rumors from PerryBOT Ken Crow in Iowa Lying that
Gov Palin would not Run for President
(Perry and Romney?)

Perry and Rove.

Romney and Rove.

RINOs all -- Tied to the navel of Soros and Sharia.

Misogynists working together against Gov. Palin.

Nothing to worry about really as Mitt isn’t going to raise much money in Texas at all!

Here’s the story!

Doesn’t sound all that sinister to me!

For the Sullivans, Bedfellows Make Strange Politics

'People' have noticed it. Many read the story of the timeline, the actions, the decisions, the expectations, etc. and conclude this was not pre-conceived or pre-meditated.

Others see conspiracy EVERYWHERE. Boo!

Don’t worry, I didn’t accuse you Rickstians of having the courage to face reality.

Most people don't like to be played with, even by Sarah Palin. Since she's been "running" -- will she or won't she -- for the past two years, there is absolutely no reason for her not to have declared that she is officially in the race months ago.

Sarah Palin is Fred Thompson in a skirt, just better looking, more energetic, smarter, but the same tease -- and guess who is going to be left "holding the bag", her supporters who are still waiting and will still be waiting for her to jump into the race Nov 1, 2012.

Well said.

FOX News IS anti-Gov.Palin.

Oh please, she signed with Fox News as a contributor and is on one of their News or Business channel programs constantly. Fox is most certainly not "anti-Gov.Palin".

Why don’t you have the courage to put a warning label
on your post -or advise cripplecreek- that you are
quoting Peggy Noonan the Obamaphile.

Obviously, Noonan will do anything to protect
RINOs or Obama or Romney. Worthless as a reference.

Oh please, you should get out more, FRiend.

The impression was made on independent FReepers,
on Sunday after Sunday morning (and at other times),
that the FOX moderators (not all) and panelists
(nearly all -and their spouses) work for, dream of,
and endlessly pimp Milt the Magic RINO.

It really doesn’t matter to me. I do my own research and don’t trust any campaigns.

I cannot think of a more vicious remark about anyone! Sarah Palin is about as far from that phony globalist Fred Thompson as the East coast is fro9m the West coast! And right now I am for Michelle Bachmann.

“I like the way that Fox News Channel is now part of the MSM and filled with “establishment” people, because they dared to poll and then relate how the people feel about Sarah Palin. LOL!!”

FNC moved from the right to the s=center about four years ago when it hired “Whore-aldo, Rove, etc. There are still many delusional conservatives who believe it's conservative and watch it daily.

You aren't going to defeat Palin with polling data. You are going to have to defeat her at the ballot box.

Wish you were on our side for this one, AAA. But we'll get you sooner or later ... ;)

cripplecreek said: “Perry and Romney are working together. They’re ideological twins with intermingled campaigns. Any attacks on each other are pure show.”

You really need to find out more about Perry. Cripplecreek cannot be more wrong to claim the above.

Perry ‘s Blunt Views in Books Get New Scrutiny as He Joins Race

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2772920/posts

“Rick Perry, the governor of Texas, believes that climate change is a “contrived, phony mess.” The federal income tax was the “great milestone on the road to serfdom.” And the Boy Scouts of America are under attack by “a radical homosexual movement.”

Mr. Perry also thinks that senators should be chosen by legislatures, not the people. And he says that Social Security, the retirement program for the nation’s elderly, is a “failure” enacted during a power grab called the New Deal and is “something we have been forced to accept.”

When it comes to health care, Mr. Perry writes that President Obama’s legislation on the subject was “the closest this country has ever come to outright socialism,”

You don't give ccreek enough credit Dio. Dame Peggy Noonan is a squishy moderate who detests the Tea Party and Rick Perry, and I'm quite sure EVERYONE at FR knows that. I agree that she is worthless as a reference for anything regarding conservatism.

However, she knows the people in politics from her liberal vantage point and makes observations about them. Doesn't mean she's always wrong on what she observes.

You can't argue against her observation that completely demolishes your half-witted conspiracy meme so you choose to ignore. Where's your courage?
