You'll get a chance to see first hand what "not a conservative" is when Mitt Romney becomes our nominee. I hope that is what you guys hoped to help along with all your gratuitous Perry bashing, because it is almost assuredly coming.

What nasty sour grapes to throw in the faces of your compatriots. For shame.

Perry has never been a conservative, and has rightfully been exposed as such by the normal vetting process, and his own public statements. In truth, the man should not have been running for president at such a time in our history as this. Neither should Mitt, but he's just a bit slicker than Rick, and will take a little longer to step on his own tongue.

In the meantime, all hope is not lost. There is another.

Just reality FRiend.

Sit back and watch. Mitt will now almost definitely be our standard bearer come November.

I don't think most of the Perry bashers on here acted out of malice. I think they were honestly trying to help. On the other hand Bachmann and Santorum knew EXACTLY what they were doing.

I will also acknowledge that Perry himself ultimately deserves the blame. He was unable to defend himself from the constant barrage of criticisms he faced. Some were legit (tuition for illegals), and some were ridiculous bashing (this bizarre LBJ thread as a prime example), but he needed to demonstrate he could overcome it, and he failed.

Bottom line is Romney has managed to knock out the only conservative with a legit chance at beating him for the nomination, and he barely had to lift a finger to do it.

I know some on here are euphoric, but I think it really, really sucks.
