Wild Thing’s comment…….
During that debate, Perry said he got $5,000 from Merck, and he raised $30M. He said to Bachmann:
If you think I can be bought for $5,000, I am offended”. It left her speechless.
Referring to Perry, Greta said “He says he would charge more than six thousand dollars to flip.” This is an outrage because Perry did not say that!! Greta LIED! It was a federal program. It was tested, and Perry didn’t make a dime on it. It was a $5000 campaign contribution from a drug company to the incumbent Republican governor. OOOOoooooh. Like they wouldn’t have given him that measly contribution anyway.
Greta has been longing for Sarah to say she would be a candidate on her( Greta’s) show. It would be a big scoop for Greta. Instead tonight Greta got the real Sarah.
So Palin made an accusation that Perry took Merck money in order to pass that bill. She did it in a very passive aggressive way. Too bad, I thought that was her supporters who did such things and she was above the fray. Apparently not. That is sad to see that happening.
Given that Sarah Palin endorsed Perry AFTER the whole Gardasil thing and even went to Texas and did a huge rally with him, her comments tonight on Greta’s show prove what a total phony Sarah is. Why would she endorse him if she felt so strongly about it?
Sarah campaigned for McCain and helped to destroy the life of a good conservative J,D. Hayworth along the way .J.D. Hayworth. McCain destroyed his life, he didn’t just defeat him, he destroyed him totally and completely financially and professionally, and Sarah helped McCain to do it. She never stepped forward once to help out JD afterward, not once.Why has she never ever admitted to making a mistake.
And Greta was interviewing Michele Bachman and said to her regarding Perry’s comment about Merck’s contribution to his campaign…and this is an exact quote since I had taped it and played it twice:
“He says he would charge more than six thousand dollars to flip.”
Perry did NOT say that. This is an outrageous thing for Greta to have said and done.
There is a calmness and something very right inside my mind and heart when I support Gov. Perry. I listen to what he says but also how he says things, a directness, a strength and he means what he says. He is what a leader is and he will make a wonderful President. What Sarah did tonight imo is unforgivable and sad too. But I am also outraged at it because she did do some damage. Not for my support but in what she did she aided the enemy, the left they have got to be eating this up. She thought only of herself and not how important it is to get Obama out of office knowing that Gov. Perry has lead in the polls from day one. He is the one to take on Obama and win for our beloved country.
I realize some of you may get upset with me for saying these things. But I do not worship people, I loved Sarah for what I felt she was, and sincere was one of those things. She wanted to much to be like Reagan, but her words and deeds last night and some other things in the last few months have been a disappointment. I would never have mentioned any of this but she brought it on and I will not let it stand and stay quiet. Our country is more important to me then not being upset with Sarah and what she seems to think is acceptable treatment of a good man.
Just one last thought. Sarah has some very loyal people supporting her although the number has lessoned over time. People that from what I have seen online at varioius places at forums and Facebook are almost holding their breath waiting for her. She is doing them a disservice by her indecision. That is something that has bothered me how unfair it is to those that continue to support her. Many articles have been written about this and I have and will not post them because I felt it was negative to Sarah. But I mention it now since Sarah took the gloves off.
This rant of mine will not happen again with Sarah. Once is enough and now you know some of the things I have been bothered by and felt it best not to go into.
Well said Chrissie.
I’ve said this before here. Palin has become a drama queen.
Well stated WT.
This is exactly what I have been fearing. The Repubs turning on each other. Bachman really disappoints me. I like what she says, but she comes apart under pressure. I doubt she could beat obama.
Sarah disappointed me when she did the reality TV show. Those shows are phony as hell. Little contrived melodramas. Sarah has become a gossip magazine celebrity. I agree WT that she should have given a yea or nay by now on her candidacy. Too late. She may feel preempted by Perry. Sarah needs to fade from view for a while. I also think her chances for the White House were mortally wounded by her daughter Bristol.
Who knows what will happen over the next 14 months. I am putting my money on Rick Perry. He may disappoint me in some way but that remains to be seen. My biggest headache now is these candidates attacking each other. The Dems must be loving it seeing these repubs violating Reagan’s 11th commandment( thou shall speak no evil of another Repub). This will turn off many swing voters and make reelection much easier for obama.
It’s still early, Tom, and this is the time when they should be questioning each other. That’s what debates are all about.
It is good that we have some questioning of Perry, by his fellow Republicans. It forces him to come forward and back his statements with words that mean something. It is also a point in his favor, that he is not afraid to admit to mistakes in judgement, something that the likes of Romney, Paul,and Gingrich, appeear to have a diffculty with.
By the time January rolls around, there will be a clear cut leader among them, and the rest, with the exception of that nutcase Ron Paul, will throw their support behind whomever is in front.
Sure the Democrats are eating all of this up, but they have a real problem on their hands with Obama. How are they going to get around the charges of Racism if they choose to challenge his nomination?
Thank you everyone so much.
Sean I agree, I want all the candidates to be questioned and vetted unlike how the dems do things.
The only thing I don’t want is for our side to eat our own. I would not want someone doing bashing to the ones that might be able to beat Obama or the ones that have the same way of thinking that most on our side have.
If they were attacking Sarah like Bachmann did to Perry etc. I would be angry at that as well.
But eating our own is very close to what I see about to happen and it is alarming.
