I was with her until she started, ......." What Perry was trying to say, I believe...."
Fast forward to the 2:20 minute mark:
Now if Sarah isn't available, perhaps they could put up a video screen next to Perry and have someone in his campaign type out the translation of his words for us dumb folks who can't seem to get their true meaning.
I mean, I heard what he said...I didn't hear him say what Sarah said he said, but hey, I'm glad she translated it for the rest of us.

ReplyDeleteAfter Mitt and Dick get through pounding each other, Palin will present herself as the candidate who will save Social Security. Like crony capitalism in politics, it's an issue that transcends party lines.
ReplyDeleteIf Rick Perry is the nominee, maybe instead of having the candidates debate we can just put two teleprompters on stage and let the ghost writers handle things from backstage.
ReplyDeleteRigth Wingnut....
ReplyDelete1.Palin isn't running.
2.Even if she were to run, she would lose to Obama is one of the worst landslides in history.
yeah palin entering the field will really make a joke of this field and she doesnt stand a chance in hell against obama. GOP make her your nominee and obama wont have to even spend much time for his reelection campaign, he will be out golfing and laughing all the way to the bank.
ReplyDeleteAnon,
ReplyDeleteHow original and insightful. Please share more of your wisdom.
Bosman, those pictures and captions were priceless!!
ReplyDeletemikeZ
"and she doesnt stand a chance in hell against obama." Yeah, Mr. Reagan did not stand a chance at beating Mr. Carter. Next one.

ReplyDeleteTo quote, I knew Reagan. Reagan was a great Governor when I lived in California and a great President.
Sarah Palin is no Ronald Reagan.

Give it a rest CraigS...nobody said she was Reagan...they use his Presidential win as a comparison sue to the similarities in the political climate between today and '79 and '80.

ReplyDeleteYou are right , of course. The political climates are very similar......but presuming Sarah is as strong a candidate as Reagan was ....is rediculous. His experience as Governor of California and SAG President is many times a multiple of magnitude. Their were 5X as many people in San Jose alone as in the entire state of Alaska in 1968. Plus
Reagan was very POPULAR with GOP voters in 1979. Sarah....not so much. 70 % say she shouldn't run. 70 % of the GOP wanted Reagan to run. Maybe a year ago, she had a shot. Not now.

Craig,
ReplyDeleteI see you're still quoting the Fox push poll conducted by Perry's pollster. CNN polled the same question 2-3 weeks earlier. 54% in the GOP stated that they did want her to run.
Palin has consistently polled at, or near the top in favorability. I don't recall Reagan's numbers, as I was only 11 years old when he got elected. However, I have heard stories from friends and collegues about the strong opposition to his candidacy by the party establishment. I read that they actually tried to get Ford to run to stop him.
From CNN poll (July 18-20):
ReplyDeleteRegardless of who you support, please tell me whether you would or would not like to see each of
the following people run for the Republican nomination for President. (RANDOM ORDER)
Rudy Giuliani 54%
Sarah Palin 55%
Rick Perry 50%

Craig,
ReplyDeleteIn this same poll, non-candidate Palin only trailed Romney by 2 points.
Instead of worrying about Palin's favorability, you should be trying to figure out why Romney, despite being a perpetual candidate for nearly 5 years, can't break 20% in most polls right now.
You know it's muddled up if Palin is translating! She's hard enough to understand as it is!
ReplyDeleteNo one said she's like Reagan? LOL. Don't read much, do ya? http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/10/31/palin-compares-reagan-reality-show/
ReplyDeleteCNN Poll: Sarah Palin Most Like Ronald Reagan
ReplyDeleteToo bad Nancy Reagan and son don't agree that Sarah is anything like their husband and dad.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of cronyism...Sarah is the queen of cronyism. She placed multiple unqualified buddies from high school buddies into high level positions. Shall we talk about the dairy and how she caused it's failure with her "friends"?
Cronyism …hmmm….Palin appointed friends and donors to key posts in Alaska, records show
ReplyDelete100-plus jobs went to campaign donors or their relatives, without apparent regard to qualifications. Several donors got state-subsidized loans for business ventures of dubious public value.
Reporting from Anchorage — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, plucked from relative obscurity in part for her reform credentials, has been eager to tout them in her vice presidential campaign.
"I took on the old politics as usual in Juneau when I stood up to the special interests and the lobbyists and the big oil companies and the good old boys," Palin told the Republican National Convention in her acceptance speech. She said that as a new governor she "shook things up, and in short order we put the government of our state back on the side of the people."
By midway through her first term, she had signed an ethics reform bill, increased oil profit taxes and tweaked Big Oil again by awarding a gas pipeline contract to a Canadian company.
In some other respects, a Los Angeles Times examination of state records shows, her approach to government was business as usual. Take, for example, the tradition of patronage. Some of Palin's most controversial appointments involved donors, records show.
* More than 100 appointments to state posts -- nearly 1 in 4 -- went to campaign contributors or their relatives, sometimes without apparent regard to qualifications.
* Palin filled 16 state offices with appointees from families that donated $2,000 to $5,600 and were among her top political patrons.
* Several of Palin's leading campaign donors received state-subsidized industrial development loans of up to $3.6 million for business ventures of questionable public value.
* Palin picked a donor to replace the public safety commissioner she fired. But the new top cop had to resign days later under an ethics cloud. And Palin drew a formal ethics complaint still pending against her and several aides for allegedly helping another donor and fundraiser land a state job.
Most new governors install friends and supporters in state jobs. But Alaska historians say some of Palin's appointees were less qualified than those of her Republican and Democratic predecessors.
University of Alaska historian Steve Haycox said Palin has been a reformer. But he said she has a penchant for placing supporters, many of them ill-prepared, in high posts. He called it "cronyism" far beyond what previous governors have done and a contradiction of her high-minded philosophy.
Terrence Cole, an Alaska political historian, said Palin had in some cases shown "a disrespect for experience."
