Palin even went as far as to lend her voice to the charge leveled by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) during the debate against Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R): That he allowed a law to go though requiring HPV vaccinations for adolescent girls because of a $5,000 campaign donation and his relationship with his former chief of staff, who went on to lobby for a pharmaceutical company.

Who else will take on her own party this way?

Looks like Sarah Palin is competing with Bachmann to be Romney’s running mate.
No one. Everyone else thinks they can win the nomination.
She does seem to enjoy second fiddle to RINOs.
Or you could watch the video and make a comment....I guess that would be too much work.
Is Perry paying you to sit on FR 24 hours a day and make pro Perry comments? Take a nap or something.
Or you could watch the video first and comment.
I saw it live, thank you.
I have less and less respect for her as each day goes by. Either announce and join the fray or shut up.
She's becoming annoying.
FR was down all day. I came on for the debate. I wish Perry would pay me to do FR 24 hours. You know what they say. Find a job you love.
Nobody can refute what she said. What she said did happen. And the rest of US are suppose to forget that Tea Party is about taxation/mandates without representation.
Wonder how long it will take Perry to return his 5 grand?
This is why I said Palin won’t endorse Perry a while back - Perry is the poster boy for CC
Other than that, he would be a pretty good candidate.
I still want Sarah to run, but after seeing Sarah tonight on Greta, I can tell she won’t run.
Her family has been put thru criminal behavior by the MSM and she doesn’t need it, although she has a strong desire to clean up DC, so you never know.
What happened to all the Reagan’s 11th Commandment stuff the Palin people swore she lived by? That was the reason I was told she gladly supported Perry for his Gov reelection two years ago.
Can’t be ........since Palin crashed Romneys Presidential announcement in NH and took the headlines away from him in the major NH papers the next day. She aint going to cheerleader for Mitt, Bachmann and especially Perry.
Why would he return a campaign contribution?
Gee I couldn’t even get on this thread before the ...er...”Perry supporters” went on the attack...wow!
She actually dissed Reagan’s 11th on Fox tonight.
McCain makes her a household name by picking her as his running mate. She then makes millions selling books and when it comes time for payback, she supports McCain over Tea Party Favorite JD Hayworth.
No Sarah Palin can't be bought.
I think it's just whiffing too much Ricardo Montalban Corrinthian leather..LOL!
She’s just riding around trying to stir things up and stay relevant. The word for that is “trolling.”
I guess you have the choice of turning the channel for a few minutes, watching an entirely different show, turning off the TV, or just leave the room while she’s on. If you’re watching someone you think is annoying then don’t watch. It’ll be infinitely better for your health.

No but she was a cheerleader for McCain and the TARP Bailout.
He probably won't but given the circumstances of his chief of staff and that executed mandate and $5 grand in-kind contribution .... looks crony.
That’s how I felt watching Romney tonight. Wanted to turn it off every time he spoke.
Envy can be a terrible affliction...:oP
Democrats are laughing. While Republicans are busy ripping each other to shreds over cancer vaccines, Obama plays to win.
Alaska mandated Gardasil, too....under Palin in 2007. OOPS!!!
How much did Merck donate to his rival(s)? Just curious.
Well if you're just going to flat out lie have fun! See ya...wouldn't want to be ya!
“Alaska mandated Gardasil, too....under Palin in 2007. OOPS!!!”
well I guess that means Bachmann will now be able to run against Palin over that issue.
NO Alaska offered to its citizens Gardasil that was funded by US via the CDC.... Sarah NEVER mandated squat in regard to Gardasil. We the US taxpayers were mandated to pay for the drugs by the federal government.
You want the link? There are two threads on it on FR right now.
I do not know.
Then how come Alaskans can only opt out of that “not a mandate” for religious reasons? Hmm? A spade is a spade.
So how do you expect people to talk about their differences & disagreements and what they think about certain issues if everyone has to tiptoe around everyone. Reagan wasn’t stupid and he didn’t expect people to sit down and shut up when they disagreed. I notice everyone pulls this 11th commandment when certain candidates are being criticized but those same forget this tenant when they’re talking about a candidate they don’t like. Primaries need to be about sorting values & candidates. If we shouldn’t talk against another candidate then shouldn’t we all be saying nice things about Paul and Romney. There’s plenty of time to apply the rule after the primaries. Of course if that were the case we’d just have to accept Romney because it’s “his” turn.
Cindie
How ‘bout a source on that? Or are you spreading disinformation?
There's a lot of that going around.
Palin taking pot shots from the peanut gallery while everyone else is standing at the podium and subjecting themselves to the heat.
Palin is becoming annoying. If she isn't running, then why is she trying to destroy the candidates we do have. Is it her strategy to sit on the sidelines and shoot the declared candidates until she thinks she has done enough damage that she can waltz in and save the party from herself?
What one with an Alaskan mandate? You don't have one...because they didn't.
Fortunately I don't run into many blatant liars here on FR...you are an anomaly ...
What? OPT out... you have got to be kidding me? Where is the evidence that Sarah executed a mandate?
There is none...and he/she knows it...
This is straight from the FEDERAL government. There is nothing here saying Palin tried to implement an Alaskan law forcing immunization. Support Perry all you want, but don’t lie.
Kudos to Palin for keeping it honest. That said, Perry can survive the idiotic vaccine EO.
She didn’t call it a mandate. She accepted the federal funding which enabled the federal mandate. So you see, she’s trying to go to a symantics loophole. She allowed the mandate of Gardasil, under her watch, but it wasn’t HER mandate. She could have stopped it like 30 states did, but she didn’t.
I’ve already provided the links. The threads are active, page 1. If you’re interested in this topic, get after it. If you want to pretend I’m telling stories, stay here and pretend it just ain’t so.
So we should just shut up? I don’t understand this kind of thinking. How would you suggest we select a candidate if we don’t listen and discuss the various pros & cons, of the candidates & their positions even when that discussion turns contentious? Is there another way? Frankly I learn a lot as people try to promote their favorite candidate. If there’s another way shouldn’t we then change the constitution. Guess we’d have to start with the first amendment then start in with the election process. Maybe it gets contentious because we all care about our country and want to put forth the candidate we think will best serve the country.
