Is there enough room left in the race for another pseudo-conservative? Good Lord we got more candidates than Tylenol has tablets. My fear is that the message will get diluted and we have to settle for the least conservative again. I will not vote for Romney(care), Hunstman, or Perry (got used and abused by the last fake Texas conservative). If need be, I will not vote.

Hopefully Cain’s presence will finally lead to something on the FairTax.

It's a little easier to see with this larger chart. I think the "ni" must mean "not included".

Yes, Gov. Palin needs to have grown greatly, in the last year or so. Her firing and hiring of advisers may be a clue.

Uh oh, prepare to be attacked. Frankly, as a Texan now, he was very conservative with the state budget crisis. He has problems with his past, but he’s better than some.

I am a Texan. I am a Texas veteran.
I have voted Republican all my life.
I have never voted for Perry.
I never will vote for Zoolander.
Can you say Trans Texas Corridor?
Imminent domain for a superhighway thru Texas for NAFTA, in which the contractor was a company from Espana.
That was his BABY!
In 04 campaign commercials, Zoolander wore his Drugstore Cowboy hat and Carhart, overlooking the river, saying how he would protect Texas. He would put Texas Nat. Guard on the river. What a liar! The only one I know lies more than him is amabO!
I grew up in the valley and live 90 miles from the river now.He aint done squat to protect us! The border is a war zone.
They ONLY time he comes around S.Texas is when he is scrounging up $$$ or votes. Every time I see him I can’t help but think of the Mel Tillis song,
“ Your just a Coke a Cola Cowboy. You got an Eastwood smile and Robert Redford hair. And you walked across my heart like it was Texas, and you taught me how to say I just don’t care.”

Cmon Sarah.

Can you find a link where Perry stuck up for Palin when she was blamed for the Arizona shootings???

Easier yet, can you find a link where Perry supports or defends Palin at all?

His support of the Trans-Texas Corridor was really bad. It’s a huge mark against him in my book.

A governor from Texas... what could possibly go wrong. I'm sure there are more countries to invade without a victory strategy, education bills to be written by democrats, deficit spending, and an overwhelming national animosity that could yet be generated towards republicans. If only we could find a person who wears the conservative label who both enacts unpopular psuedo-conservative policies while simultaneously enacting far left policies which both anger the base as well as provide cover fire for future liberals to enact even further far left policies.

It's like a dream come true! /s

I don't grovel and admire, and my expectations are low. However, I don't think it's too much to ask to get a presidential nominee with relevant experience.

For me, I want a governor who served two terms (in this case, the third term is a bonus.) This way they have a record. And they have proven they can win re-election.

I don't take congressmen seriously as human beings, let alone as presidential candidates. Nor am I impressed by governors who couldn't complete a single term, no matter the reason.

Perry, if he gets in, ought to be able to oust Romney, and get rid of the amatuer hour candidates that the tea party seems intent on nominating.

Palin can not win a presidential election. The liberal media would destroy her and her family. It would not be worth the sickness coming her way.

By this time, I guess Perry realizes that the Demwit media will soon begin its ongoing anal examination of his and his family’s lives.

And the MSM will drop the boom on Perry as well. We will see how he holds up then.

No doubt about it, they'll ride him hard if they think he's a threat to their "chosen one" Mittins. My guess is he knows it's coming, and he's ready for it.

LOL...

Of course they'll be kinder to an anti-constitutional globalist RINO.

“A governor from Texas... what could possibly go wrong.”

I remember thinking those exact same words circa 1999.

Statement on Palin’s difficult decision to resign as Governor of Alaska:

“Sarah Palin is a good friend and accomplished governor who will continue to be a strong voice of conservatism in American politics. Her state and our country are better off as a result of her tenure as governor and her candidacy for vice president.

“I expect she will continue to work on the issues facing our country as conservatives strive to undo the damage being done by an out-of-control congress and federal government.”
http://www.rickperry.org/release/statement-gov-perry-gov-palin%E2%80%99s-decision-step-down-governor-alaska
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Perry talking about Palin:

The political divide, the governor insists, is between “mushy, middle of the road” Republicans and clear, devoted fiscal and social conservatives, like himself and Sarah Palin.

On that last point, he states emphatically, “I love Sarah Palin, I love her positions, I think she was a good governor. . . . I want her to be engaged in this rebuilding of the Republican Party. . . . She is substantially more the face of this country than some other people who might want to be the face of the Republican Party. To me she’s the face of America. I mean she’s a hard worker, she didn’t come from money, she didn’t come from privilege, she just worked hard. . . . I have not seen another person who invigorated the Republican base [like she did] with the possible exception of Ronald Reagan in 1976—the speech he made at the Republican Convention. People were looking around and saying, ‘we nominated the wrong dude.’”

Fantastic! I'd never seen those Perry quotes before, although I suspected that Perry and Palin liked each other.

I'm glad you posted the links, I've saved them.
