Why is Perry GOP's darling?

I would vote for Paul over Obama myself. But I hate the fact that his policy toward Islamo Fascism is worse than Obama’s.

Really? Hmmm, I think you made that quote up. Let's google the quote and find out!

Awww...BillyBoy has to make up quotations to support his beliefs. Search engines are just amazing aren't they!

I guess that leaves you only the "nice hair" jibe. Ronald Reagan had great hair too. By golly so does Sarah Palin, I guess in your book that makes them both like Rick Perry! Cool.

It's a well known fact that Kerry won the RAT primary in 2004 because the RATS believed (for the same reasons you believe about Perry) that Kerry was the "most electable" candidate. Otherwise that Howard Dean lunatic would have won the RAT primary.

For some strange reason, the RATs seem to think that middle America just LOVES wealthy liberal elitists from Massachuttes, and the GOP seems to to think that middle America just LOVES open-border compassionate conservatives from Texas.

Neither assumption is correct, those kinds of candidates actually fare poorly in swing states. Bush was far more popular that Perry and he only won nationally by 1 electoral vote. Perry barely wins Texas, Kerry and Dukasis got killed outside of Mass, and Kennedy had to steal the election to win in 1960. Obviously the election results don't match the "most electable" hype.

If you think I'm lying, I would be able to provide quotes from numerous Dems in 2004 claiming Kerry was the "most electable" choice.

Ronald Reagan was NOT seen as the "most electable" in 1980. He was portrayed as too old, goofy, and right-wing. The wisdom was that Howard Baker and George H.W. Bush would be more appealing to voters. In fact, the Dems begged the GOP to nominate Reagan because they tought he would be a weak candidate.

"If you think I'm lying..."

You've already been caught in a lie. One strike and you're out.

Because even though I didn't attribute the "Only Kerry can win" quote to ANYONE, you pretended I did and claimed I was lying.

No thanks, I've had enough games, if you want to see liars check out your fellow Rick Perry fans who keep claiming Al Gore was a "conservative pro-life Democrat" when Rick Perry supported him, no matter how many times the facts prove otherwise.
