Don't you know, there are a fair number of folks who won't support anyone but their anointed favorite and who will unabashedly tell you that they would rather let Obama be President another 4 years than have a "RINO" in the White House.

You sounded EXACTLY the same when you were pushing Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney here.

In what way does that in any way negate the validity of the argument? Do you think either Romney or Giuliani would have handled the economy in a remotely similar way to how Obama has handled it? Do you think that either one is close to being as hostile to our Constitution as Obama?

What Obama has done to this nation has not touched on any traditionally conservative issues--those over which we have the greatest differences with with most RINOs. Obama has not wreaked the havoc he has because of anything he has done on abortion, guns, or any of the other traditional conservative issues; it has been his fiscal policy, domestic spending, war against private enterprise, and ignorant and naive foreign policy that have damaged our nation.

For all their flaws, neither man would have been as destructive to our nation. McCain would have been far better than Obama even though he is nowhere close to what I believe in on many issues.

It is the worst kind of willful stupidity and pig-headedness to insist on perfection, because first, that candidate doesn't exist, and second if he/she did, he could never be elected. Were Ronald Reagan to rise from the grave and begin campaigning for the presidency today, most of the haters on this forum would label him a RINO and reject him--you would reject him. Soft on abortion and gay rights, soft on illegal immigration, compromised on the budget with Tip O'Neal, soft on gun control--even supported the Brady Bill and the AWB. Deny it if you dare.

Perry is about as conservative as they come and , short any real damaging issue arising, the best candidate Republicans have--excepting, perhaps, Sarah Palin and I don't think she can be elected. It's a cinch that Paul won't come close--is absolutely unelectable.
