The more “conservative Republicans” I see enter the race, the more sure I am that we are going to wind up with the same crap we got in 2009 (the word crap is, of course, referring to McCain, but also includes the cluster-whatever that was the 2008 primary campaign). I grow more certain by the day that the only candidate that will do us and the country any good is the one who has been consistant throughout his career and is probably the only tried and true conservative in the bunch (including the ones we are waiting on to jump into the fray.
You and whomever else can laugh at me all you want. But I remember well the results of two Bush Presidencies (Clinton and Obama, to be precise). And I sure know the result of running a guranteed rino. You’ll not get rid of Obama by nominating someone similar (but not as ignorant or stupid or openly socialist) to him that just talks different. Conservatives will not stand for it, just like they would not stand for it 2008.
"Cross-over appeal", now you're reminding me of Tokyo-Rove.
You do know simple math right? It will take more than the TP to win the general.
Keep on being deluded thinking that purifying the party will actually entail a winning margin on election day.
If you’re pushing Perry, then you are pushing social issues, because he’s all wrong on financial issues and limited government issues.
Oddly you keep on stating positions that I fully agree with (gov’t out of education entirely). In that context I can’t see why you would view Perry favorably at all, unless you are relying exclusively on his re-invented public persona of the past few months.
Really? What has she said or done that makes you think that. There has to be some 'sign' that you've read or seen to make you think that way. What may that be?
Yes, definitely. A lot of times, you have a focus, and then something happens and a new focus emerges. I see nothing wrong with that.
It's not necessary.
Once Sarah declares, all the Sarah wannabes fade off into the sunset.
And the longer she puts it off, the longer she keeps Ubama in total disarray.
“...If you’re pushing Perry...”

And I have done that ... where???
Excellent excellent post. Thank you.
Another with more facts (some repeating) was just posted by hocndoc.
“...I regard any reference to my sign-up date here as an admission that I am correct...”

Guess what?
I don’t give a flying fig what you regard.
Obviously you do care as you keep responding, Ophelia.
Yes. Different situation. We need to keep our sense of humor and perspective on all of this, all the while engaging in a serious debate concerning the issues and the candidates.
Yeah a lot of people endorsed Rudy until his true colors began to show.
We need all 50 or at least a majority.
This is the one issue that needs to be puched. The failure of the FEDs Bush and Zero have driven up State cost enormously.
This has to have some sort of Constitutional element that would force the issue.
Thank you so much, Sir! I’ll admit to a little worry.
We are all at least nominally on the same side!
This conversation began with your post at #9
where you took it upon yourself to define
what “the right way to think” was for tea partiers.
You can’t handle the truth.
FAIL
And I have done that ... where???
Lemme see, you've done nothing on this thread but start a sh*t-fight with someone who pointed out that no genuine Tea Party person would endorse or support Perry. 2+2 = ??
“...no genuine Tea Party person...”
-
As defined by who?
You?
FAIL (again)
In fact, if the supremes rule that the forced payment of ins premiums is unconstitutional. can an argument be made that the Feds are FORCING costs on States by refusing to enforce the Constitution and the immigration laws?
