I have said my piece regarding Perry and will say no more. I am sorry if you are offended by a frank discussion of Mr. Perry's associations relative to grants and campaign contributions (which have been my primary focus). But if anonymous posts on this website can destroy a candidate, then he wasn't much of a candidate to begin with.

You miss the point, gbc. It isn’t about NOT VETTING Perry. It’s about recognizing the GOOD that is in any candidate who claims to be conservative.

He is pro-life, pro-gun, pro-God, pro-fiscal sanity, etc.

There is a LOT of good there.

Say that you don’t like the Guardasil decision, that you don’t like the trans-texas highway, that you didn’t like some of his fiscal decisions.

But, you follow it up with what was correctly done, and the man did an awful lot that was right.

Same with Palin, BAchmann, Santorum, Cain, Gingrich.
