The problem is the GOPe will not allow anyone out of the primary whose ‘turn’
There is about as much excitement at GOP conventions as watching
Grass grow
Witness the boredom white toast nonsense since Reagan.
Bush
Dole
Bush
Mclame
Romney
Lets see whose turn is it next?

I know, Just having a little fun with Perry’s way of stating the obvious truth that eludes many.

I hope so. Governor Perry is fantastic, Texas is the best economy in U.S., he tells people where to put it if that's what's needed, and he's everything I love, pro 2nd amendment, anti-amnesty, pro-business and the list goes on.
Texas's economy has nothing to do with Rick Perry and has everything to do with cheap land, cheap resources, a solid power grid (separate from the rest of the US), cheap oil and gas, proximity to Mexico (cheap labor) and with that the busiest port in the United States as far as foreign tonnage, a great high-tech industry, great universities, ranching and agricultural industries (contributing to a diverse economy), and the list goes on. None of which has anything to do with Rick Perry as it all existed before he took over from Bush, and most of which was developing well before Perry was even born.
That's cute about anti-amnesty - Perry has supported a guest worker program since shortly after he took office (
http://governor.state.tx.us/news/editorial/10326/), and he was pushing hard for it in 2005-2006 along with Bush, McCain, Kennedy, etc. In your world, guest worker programs may be anti-amnesty, but they aren't in mine.
Rick Perry loves him some La Raza as well - he addressed their national convention in 2010 and was feeling the love they had for him and the love he has for them:

It was just a coincidence that his two richest donors (home builder and grocer) happened to benefit from illegal immigration as well.
He's pro-business all right. He was trying hard for the biggest land grab in the history of Texas, even bigger than when the feds created Fort Hood, in order to get his precious transportation corridor from Mexico to Oklahoma - it would have taken land from private citizens and turned it over to all kinds of businesses, from the European company that was going to build it, Cintra, all the way down to gas stations and hotel chains.
He loves businesses, yes he does. It was just a coincidence that Cintra was hiring Perry's good friends, just like it was a coincidence that the HPV vaccine he tried to force on the girls of Texas was made by a company that was paying Perry's friends a nice salary to lobby Perry for them.
He even loves
Chinese companies, even if the US Congress
raises warning flags about their ties to the Chinese government, and even if a former head of the CIA and NSA also
raises warning flags.
Speaking of the Chinese, I give Perry credit - he went over to China 2 or 3 years ago and convinced the Chinese government-run national oil company to
buy up $2 billion worth of oil and gas resources in South Texas, which led to the employment of tens of thousands of Texans.
Christie makes Perry look like a Conservative, but hell, Obama makes Bill Clinton look like a Conservative.

Damn sure feels like it's Christie's turn.
And if Christie gets the nomination, I'll never vote for a Republican at any level again, because I won't support people who support a party run by liberals. A liberal with an (R) next to their name is still a liberal, and anybody who is part of a party run by a liberal with an (R) next to their name after 2016 can't help but support it.
We had the Bushes, Dole, McAmnesty, and Mittens shoved down our throats, and it's pretty clear that it's just a trend of a more and more liberal brand of Republican winning the GOP.
We can't keep on bending over for the liberals in either party.

I will say that at least Christie is a tough talking east coast prosecutors w type who earned everything he has not a weenie rich boy which pretty much summarizes ALL the others save mclame who is just clearly senile but of course did come from privelege as well
Here’s the problem. If its Christie vs Hildebeest what do you do?
Stay home like last time? If you do I won’t blame you
Lets home Cruz or lee or even Paul jr can get the nod
And geez Louise it’s only 2013. !
The Marxist arrogant beyond all belief Kenyan still has three years and no election to worry about first
We’re pretty much doomed I think

Heres the problem. If its Christie vs Hildebeest what do you do?
If it's Christie vs Hillary, we're screwed either way. Both are into Big Government. Obama, Hillary, they want to cut the brakes, mash the gas, and take us to socialism doing 120mph.
The GOP? They want to take us to socialism at a leisurely 45mph. The writing was on the wall when we had a Republican WH and Republican Congress under G.W. Bush and we got a bigger, more expensive, more powerful, and more intrusive government. It was followed up with the nominations of McCain and Romney.
I only vote for Conservatives from now on. Christie is no Conservative. I'm tired of being a Conservative 364 days out of the year, and then voting for liberals in November.
