While I don’t personally care for Perry, I haven’t forgotten what Rush said about he, Bachmann, and Santorum being the ones who would actually walk the walk every day.

All others are completely off the list and I don’t have to worry about refusing to vote for them.

I would quote the line from Shakespeare, but that might get me a visit from the SS gestapo.
This is SOOOO insane.

Interesting list. Those with real world experience seem to be Paul and Perry. What did Bachmann do before politics?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If RP would have ever run for congress with an (L) behind his name, we would not be worried about him now. (L)oser

'Ron Paul has passed one bill in 20 years.'

If only all of our Congressmen would do that we would be better off! ;)
