Palin endorses Perry for governor
By KELLEY SHANNON
AP Political Writer

AUSTIN — Former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is urging Texas Republican women to support Gov. Rick Perry over U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison in the 2010 governor's GOP primary.

The Alaska governor said in a letter to GOP women that that she admires Perry's opposition to federal economic bailouts, and his support for stimulating the economy with tax cuts and disciplined spending.

"Rick Perry is true to conservative principles even when others think the party needs to go a different direction. I like that about him: he doesn't care which way the wind blows, he acts on his beliefs. That's why I am supporting Governor Rick Perry for re-election," Palin wrote.

Palin wrote that Perry "walks the walk of a true conservative. And he sticks to his guns — and you know how I feel about guns!"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

This is rich. Actually it probably will get him some winger votes. So does that mean Sarah doesn't support women running for higher office? :shrug:

1. I was just going to post about this.

Here's the bit from the Anchorage Daily News... http://community.adn.com/adn/node/137522

From Sean Cockerham in Juneau --

Campaigning for Saxby Chambliss in Georgia last fall wasn't the end of Gov. Sarah Palin's involvement in Lower 48 political races.

The Dallas Morning News is reporting that Palin has endorsed Rick Perry in the Republican primary for governor of Texas. Looks like a Palin letter touting Perry went to 10,500 members of the Texas Federation of Republican Women.

"He walks the walk of a true conservative. And he sticks by his guns – and you know how I feel about guns," Palin says in the letter.

Perry is running for re-election in the primary next year against Kay Bailey Hutchison.

Kay Bailey Hutchison reminds me of our Lyda Green. I wonder how she feels about this.

2. I had to google Lyda Green

Sorry I wasn't familiar with her. This is too funny:

Anchorage Daily News Aug 29th, 2008
Choice stuns state politicians

(snip)
The reaction wasn't so rosy elsewhere. State Senate President Lyda Green said she thought it was a joke when someone called her at 6 a.m. to give her the news.

"She's not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president?" said Green, a Republican from Palin's hometown of Wasilla. "Look at what she's done to this state. What would she do to the nation?"

Green, who has feuded with Palin repeatedly over the past two years, brought up the big oil tax increase Palin pushed through last year. She also pointed to the award of a $500 million state subsidy to a Canadian firm to pursue a natural gas pipeline that is far from guaranteed.

:rofl: Palin and Perry are twins on government styles.

Your Lyda Green will probably endorse Kay Buffy just to get her digs on Palin. I expect that Perry will bring Sarah Palin into fundraise for him. Texas republican women are a whole other species of mean.

3. Oh, I know about Texas women.

I went to high school and college in Houston -- and my husband has two ex-wives down there, who I certainly wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley. Scary....

6. Scott Card fan are we?

I'm sure you know that the movie for the books has been scrapped. :(

Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game Movie Has Been Scrapped

I hate to be the bearer of more bad news (we already announced that Shazam was dead), but it looks like Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game movie has also been scrapped. The one and only time that we mentioned this before was back in April of last year, where we reported that Wolfgang Petersen (of The Perfect Storm, Troy, Poseidon) had left the project. An update on the whole adaptation situation has arrived today courtesy of LA Times. Orson Scott Card himself spoke with the newspaper recently in promotion of his newest novel, a direct sequel to "Ender's Game" titled "Ender in Exile", which first hit bookshelves last November.

Apparently Orson Scott Card is intricately involved in the development process, as any good author should be. In regards to the version that Wolfgang Petersen was attached to direct at Warner Brothers, it was scrapped in November because "Card did not feel comfortable with the movie's direction." He told the LA Times that "he was not interested in a 'tough-hero action film' and refuses to condescend to green-screen Hollywood." In turn, he imagines a "film where the human relationships are absolutely essential — an honest presentation of the story." I don't think anyone is opposed to that, especially fans of the book.

11. I would rather it not be made than

Hollywood destroying it. hopefully someday it will get made. I have just finished reading his book Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus.Have you read it? It challenged my beliefs on morality and time travel(i was initially against the aim of pastwatch but ultimately came around) And i like it when a book/movie challenges my preset notions and gets me thinking.

7. Whenever I hear something like this:

Palin wrote that Perry "walks the walk of a true conservative. And he sticks to his guns — and you know how I feel about guns!"

I am reminded of:

"This is your rifle,
this is your gun.

This is for fighting,
this is for fun.

10. It's going to be a blast

Texas Monthly cover story
The Thrilla in Vanilla
Straitlaced Rick Perry and demure Kay Bailey Hutchison going toe-to-toe in a Republican primary doesn’t exactly get the blood pumping. Ali-Frazier it ain’t. But it’s the heavyweight title bout every political junkie has been waiting for.

Burka goes on to say that in "a typical Republican primary turnout is around 600,000 voters—roughly the population of El Paso".

Well it isn't the title bout we are all waiting for. It's more like a train wreck we just can't turn away from.

12. So?

Palin's 15 minutes of fame are over. She was just picked to get the Hillary supporters...and that failed.

[sonias]

13. Welcome to DU steelmania75

:hi:

I wish she knew her 15 minutes of fame were over. Sarah Palin is high on republican love and she can't get enough of it. No way she disappears. I unfortunately expect to continue hearing much more of her in the media. She and Joe the Plumber are no where near over. The Rs won't let go of them.

:shrug:
