Im registered to vote in Florida...live here most of the time. Perry has lost it due to his inability to understand anything outside of Texas. I think he is a good man and would have voted for him but not in the primary. At this time it looks like my vote will go to Cain.
Florida has been accepting Iowa's and NH’s decisions for too long. We are a cross section of folks that are typically the voice of America. The early primary gives us an opportunity to have our voices be heard.
Heard Early and Heard Loudly at the convention.
“Perry has lost it due to his inability to understand anything outside of Texas.”
Earlier this year (before Perry began running) when Perry was just the Governor of Texas (and said he wasn’t running), MANY Texas FReepers warned that Perry would try to maneuver to get into the race (making him a liar), and explaining how Perry was liberal, but had his feet held to the fire by Texas conservatives. Somewhere all with fan-ette’s (Fannies?) began popping up, spamming every article into either Front Page, Breaking or Activism, all night everynight, and pinging themselves over and over to make the thread appear as if it had participants. This was an Alinsky tactic to try and get us to buy their liberal dream lover. Thankfully, Perry is too Stupid to be able to pretend to be a conservative. And soon he’ll just be a footnote.
It's amazing what Texans let him get away with. He's been described as a kind of Punxatauney Phil-----the "Marlboro Man" comes out of his cave when it's time for election, packing/wearing a cowboy hat, chewing on a piece of hay, mouthing platitudes about "secession."
He then disappears back into his cave to get down to the real reason for elective office---to enrich and advance himself.
He promised Texans if they reelected him he would not run for president AT THE SAME TIME he was raising $55 million from just one of his several presidential PACs.
His "heartless" putdown was deliberate----to emphasize his "moral superiority".......
How he gets elected is the real Texas Miracle.
Some people believe we have something called a “Conservative Party” in America. We don’t. If there should have been a Conservative Party, then some folks should have been brave enough to get out there and start one instead of attempting to destroy our whole system with silly attacks on our candidates. Our candidates are running under the banner of the Republican Party. Even Ron Paul. That means for any one of them to win, they need all of us. If Cain is on the ticket, I’ll overlook his careless comment on the electrifying fence. I can just imagine the optics on that one. The tv commercials showing a kid being fried on a fence with Herman Cain holding the start button. What a terrible thing to say. I know he’s a good man and regrets saying it. Conservative message? I don’t think so. Not in my lifetime. Must be a new breed of Conservative on this thread.
