“I am curious to see what The Free Republic response to Gov. Perry as a potential GOP candidate for the 2012 POTUS election will be.”
Speaking for myself, I have mixed emotions. I want to see an actual conservative run for President on the gop ticket. Because I am a conservative and a patriot and do care about this country.
Then there is that selfish part of me that would much rather stay home, tend to the garden, read books, and not lift a finger to assist the feckless gop and it’s faux conservative candidates.
“Gardasil Rick” Perry is the kind of fair weather conservative who talks a good tale until about 15 minutes after the election. So, for what are purely selfish reasons, I have some hope that he becomes the gop candidate. I’ll have a nicer garden, and will be able to sleep in late on election day.
I’ll even name a row of vegetables after him.
You’re swimming upstream against a tide of “Run Rick Run!”
You’re a one trick pony.
