We haven't elected a current or former House member, with no other government experience, since 1860. There's a reason for that.

—Romney was Romney. Romney was just there. He’s been there for four years now. Just always there. He does nothing. He offers nothing new. He’ll flip his position on a dime. He is a super nothing who is just simply there waiting to be anointed as in the days of old by the GOP elite just because it’s his turn. —

Wow. That guy summed up exactly how I feel about Romney, and did it in a very short paragraph.

Instead of constantly trashing Bachmann, you really need to look at her as insurance against the possibility that Palin doesn’t run. (yes I know, even suggesting it is blaspheme)

Because if she doesn’t, we’ll get saddled with Mitt Perry and be exactly where we are today with no one to blame but yourselves.

I don’t sit here and trash Palin. Instead I support all the conservatives. Bachmann isn’t the enemy of anyone but the same old crap.

Maybe that has something to do with the steady cancerous growth of the Federal govt. over the years? If you elect someone whose entire career involves being in govt. and pandering to special interests to keep himself in power, then you have only yourself to blame for the consequences.

Excellent summation, 2nd. Only thing I would change is that this has come down to a two man race: Perry vs Romney.
And I loved what you said about the GOP Elitist crowd not being able to appoint their favorite successor anymore because of the influence of the TEA PARTY!! YAY!
Mittens and Mrs. Mittens: you’d best wait before ordering the new drapes for the Lincoln bedroom.

Congresswoman Bachmann has about the same chance at garnering the nomination as I do. She’s trailing RON PAUL for goodness sakes! We don’t put House members in the White House, as I said in my first post.

The world of politics as we know it has dramatically changed forever. The failed “conventional wisdom” of the past is in a state of collapse.

The last one elected wasn’t exactly a “state’s rights” advocate, as I recall.

“On The Record” with Greta Van Susteren and was asked if she really believed that Perry had issued the executive order because of “crony capitalism,” and the fact that he had received a $5,000 donation out of the $30 million plus Perry raised.

Well I guess she wont be the VP now.

Oh please. Hang it up. Whatever her ideological bona fides, in practice Bachmann is as loony as RuPaul. In just the past week she’s ponied up ample evidence; just watch over the next couple weeks for her to prove it beyond shadow of doubt.

Frankly, after what I’ve seen I don’t want her finger on the button.

OK. I guess you are happy with business as usual. We will have Slick Rick Perry, and he will lead us down the same disastrous path as the last phony pseudo-conservative from Texas.

Primary candidacies are momentum based. Bachmann is finished. Palin wins the Most Popular Non-candidate prize. Fred would have won this prize last time, but he made the mistake of actually getting into the race. Palin is smarter than Fred, will play a very important part in any Republican administration, and may be president someday.

It’s Rerry or Romney.

The odds favor Perry. Both men have been vetted numerous times so scandals are unlikely. It’s Perry’s to lose. Romney’s candidacy rests on looking like a Student Body President, a George Bush Senior with less experience. Perry has sizzle and must only be careful not to say something very stupid. He’s being coached on that now.

Bachmann’s not a contender.

It’s Romney, Perry or Palin.

Bachmann is out there sticking her foot in her mouth by saying the vaccine caused mental retardation just because she doesn’t know when to shut up. She was conceded to have “won” the Gardisol encounter and then blew it all up later on Greta. That’s why the woman has imploded as a candidate.

Unlike you I am just fine with Perry as my candidate. I’m not naive, I know his position on immigration and I’m letting him take a beating for it because he deserves one n that issue. But at least he’s taking a beating for just having an unpopular position with conservatives. Michelle is taking a beating for lying and having foot in mouth disease and perhaps just perhaps being exposed as blatantly opportunisitic. No, I will not let her off the hook for Social security. She was prepared to lie and demogague from the LEFT until Rush cut her off at the knees.
