You are correct. I really mean I can never, ever vote for Romney or any other RINO but Romney especially nauseates me almost to the point of serious illness.
Yeah. I voted for Sarah too.
ping......
The thing is, if Palin doesn’t jump in and run in 2012 her political career is over.
I know what you are saying for sure, but does every election have the be the most important in our lifetime? I mean is 2014 going to the be the most important in our lifetime?
Ping to you, too.
I’m just a nobody but I predict Biden will be out for veep & will be replaced by Hillary.
I base this on nothing other than my gut feeling.
It is not our most important election so don’t vote and please do not contact me again.
Goodnight! Rest well!!
If we, patriots of all stripes, can't do better than Perry or Romney, we may as well not bother.
While either would be preferable to the current usurper, neither of them exude the 'spark' to truly ignite the conservative cause for the next fifty years.
Sarah Palin is the next Reagan, imho.
Having been around her on two different occasions, it's SO evident that she's the real deal,
both personally and ideologically, and that it comes to her without even trying !
This is her campaign, along with Todd and her staff.
They're collectively telling the media to go F themselves and their ambush/deranged agenda/s.
She's doing this on HER terms, and I admire that tremendously.
What she has, this undefinable IT, is a blessing of some kind to her, her family, and to us.
And what seals the deal about that fact is the humility and grace with which she carries that awareness.
I don't believe that that kind of integrity can SEE the connection and hope it sparks yet cynically string it/us along for mere temporary benefit of whatever sort.
And aside from all that, imagine the gaping horns of the dilemna of every female in the nation being faced with the choice of endorsing another term for a proven fraudulent failure OR electing the first Woman President of the United States !
The choice is clear .. youbetcha
Another bugzapper????
Looks like it. Got any popcorn?
There you have the answer.
I got the Ron Paul email too.
Newt won the debate on substance and passion but he's flatly unacceptable to far too many.
Perry is NOT an "open borders" guy. Check with NumbersUSA, they document his opposition to amnesty and pathways to citizenship. He put Texas Rangers on the border. He signed voter ID. Texas uses E-Verify though Perry may be a critic. He attempted to ban sanctuary cities in the special session, it passed the TX Senate but not the Assembly.
Yes, 10 years ago he signed the Texas DREAM Act but he's not Bush. He's not McCain. He's not Graham. He's not Obama.
He supports a short term, limited need-based guest-worker-only program that requires payment of taxes and permanent ban of criminal aliens.
Let's focus on Perry's whole record. Unlike many candidates Perry has a very long and deep public record to scrutinize. Anyone in politics as long as Perry is going to have said, done a few things we won't like.
We're getting down to the wire.
We've got the crazy 8 from last night (Bachmann, Cain, Huntsman, Newt, Romney, Ron Paul, Pawlenty, Santorum), 3 so marginal they didn't rate the debate (Karger, McCotter, Johnson) and tomorrow Perry gets in.
There are a few still threatening to get in like Rudy, Huckster or Bolton but only Palin seems a realistic candidate to enter.
The next listed debate is Sept 7 at the Reagan Library with POLITICO & MSNBC (WHAT?!)
CNN & Tea Party Express have a debate scheduled for Sept 12 and FOX (with GOP Fl) is up again on Sept 22 in FL.
