Personally, I could easily have lived with Palin, Bachmann, Cain, Perry, Newt or Santorum and would be proud to enthusiastically support any of them, warts and all. Any one of them is infinitely better than Obama or Romney."
Jim Robinson: Taking stock of our dwindling conservative inventory-Jan 5, 2011
How can one attack “conservatives we don’t like” when they’re not conservatives, and that being why we don’t like them? The liberal-leaning RINOs think that they need to be more liberal or “moderate” to win, when the reverse is true. The conservative base is sick of the pandering to liberals, FWICS. The “vote for the best out of a bad bunch” view isn’t viable if said candidate gets into office and continues to uphold the liberalism that has rotted the country from within for many decades.
Perry is not a conservative.
I have been opposing him since I got involved in blocking the Trans Texas Corridor.
You will find me in posts on this for the last five years. With Perry, I am not here to oppose his candidacy, I have been up front for five years that he needs to be run out of politics, Period. Not just the presidential running.
I will vote third party or write in if he is the nominee, just as with Romney. Just as I did in 2008 when the Republicans tried to push McCain.
There is no more debate here. Perry set his course years ago, and when constitutional protections get in the way he has been willing to tromp all over them. If you personally want to vote for that, go right ahead. I will continue to oppose him.
