Since when has “Well yeah sure he's done all these bad things - but look who likes him” been an argument that holds water outside teenage girls? Essentially that is your response. You are unable to deny his record, but if someone popular likes him its supposed to be okay anyway.
Keep running your cheerleader squad tryout style campaign Polybus.
Maybe you can get invited to cool parties.
Shame on you.
Who are you to say that Sarah Palin "did not do her homework" in regards to Rick Perry?
Are you so full of yourself and your Politically Holier Than Thou attitude that, if Sarah Palin disagrees with you politically, then she must be so lazy that she "did not do her homework"?
I am not "making fun of Sarah Palin" because, in regards to Rick Perry, I completely agree with her.
Rick Perry is the one conservative candidate that can pound Obama in 2012 like Ronald Reagan pounded Jimmy Carter in 1980.
I am making fun of you fanatics who believe that you know more about Sarah Palin than Sarah Palin knows about Sarah Palin.
Oh, by the way, JimRob also thinks that Rick Perry "would be an excellent alternative to Obama the Commie".
Since you probably believe that you also know more about JimRob than JimRob knows about himself, why don't you send him a FReepMail and point out to him that he is mistaken and he does not really believe that.

“We now have conservatives Bachmann and Cain officially in the race fending off RINO Romney; and Palin and Perry could possibly jump in. My hopes are with Palin, but if she decides not to run I could be happy with Bachmann or Cain. Also, if Palin does not run but Perry does, he'd probably suck all the air out of the race. Either way, Palin, Bachmann, Cain or even Perry would all be excellent alternatives to Obama the commie. Anyone but RINO Romney the big government chief architect of CommieCare! …… Posted on Friday, July 01, 2011 10:13:29 AM by Jim Robinson”
Sarah endorsed McCain. There are some who were mad at the time.
But it doesn’t mean that McCain is suddenly Sarah.
She endorsed McCain - doesn’t mean McCain is any good
She endorsed Perry - doesn’t mean Perry is any good
Logically, Palin helped Palin out, and now Perry is helping Palin out, exactly how, I’m not sure. But when Palin gets in (and it looks like she will - she said there had to be a good conservative in there for her to stay out, and Bachmann isn’t viable, and Perry is just awful, so, Palin is really needed), Perry won’t get in.
Bachmann’s background is disqualifying. Not an acceptable substitute for Palin. 2 weeks ago I thought differently. But 2 weeks ago I hadn’t really stared at that wikipedia bio, tried to figure out a timeline, hadn’t searched for Marcus Bachmann on youtube.
And Perry is just awful. If I had to choose between Bachmann and a sure loss, with a huge dose of humiliation, and Perry. I take Bachmann in a second. I don’t think Bachmann would be bad for America. I’d worry Perry would sell half of the US to the Chinese because the Fed said it was the only way. If Merck pitches a microchip scheme to Perry, well he has a nasty track record. Michele is facepalm (not yet, of course), but I’d vote for her without hesitation if the only choices were her and Perry.
The more I hear about Perry, the more I see how his minions act, the more I like every single other candidate, and with Michele’s unviability, I’m looking at people like Santorum more closely. If Perry can fake tea party, so can Santorum, and there’s nothing on Santorum’s solid (but not true tea party) record that’s disqualifying. It’s pretty impressive.
college degree, mba, jd (Romneys degrees more elite, but Santorums schools were all plenty solid). Then a good law firm, then a US Rep, then a US Senator. Solid. And proven on social issues. Santorum says “10th Amendment” a couple of times, “limited constitutional goverment”, and he’ll get a look. There’s really nothing bad there.
So, I’m looking at Santorum as someone who could put on a fresh coat of tea party paint. Santorum does have the clear advantage over Perry on education. Perry over Santorum on military. Ron Paul is the only one with Military and elite education. Air Force and Duke Medical.
I haven’t researched Pawlenty, Huntsman, Gingrich
