Perry. Didn’t even support him for governor. He’s the only one left who is actually offering an interesting concept: part-time Congress.

You do know, of course, that this is just a gimmick to set himself apart?

He - and you should - know this wouldn't have a snow-balls chance in hell

“You do know, of course, that this is just a gimmick to set himself apart?

Doesn’t matter. Cain pushed for a major change in the tax code. 9-9-9 was horrible, but it got the rest of the field to take a stand on real, positive changes to the tax code. No one talked about it before. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been much talk about it since he left (except from Perry and, oddly enough, Huntsman).

Read Santorum’s website. It looks like he copied and pasted the GOP platform onto his website. We don’t need another “compassionate conservative.” We need someone who is going to do more than get rid of the “death tax” and change tax rates. We need a rewrite of the tax code.

Read Newt’s website. Same thing, only less. How anyone can think Romney changes for the audience and then supports Newt has to be schizophrenic. If Romney waffles, Newt is Waffle House.

Go to Perry’s website. Part-time Congress and flat tax. I don’t care if he had to promise it because he is behind in the polls, it’s out there for discussion and he’ll be held to that standard.

If we get 4 more years of Republican lite from Santorum (at least for fiscal issues) or whatever wacky positions Newt decides to go with at any particular moment, we won’t be able to dig out of the 0bama hole.

So I’ll vote for who I think is the best for this country, thank you very much, and you can take your “whatever compromise I need to make to get someone with an ‘R’” vote and throw it away on Romney.
