If it came down to it, I would much rather have Perry as the nominee than I would Romney.

I don't know enough about Perry, but Sarah is my first choice, if she runs.

I'm really concerned about the donald because that lunatic could siphon just enough votes to put obama back in the White Hut.

Ah, how is Denver or the Western Conservative meeting "Romney's turf"? Santorum spoke. The article says nothing about Romney even being there or speaking.

I'll bash Romney with the best of them, but this headline doesn't fit.

As time passes as the idiot in the White House continues to shape the US into his personal village, I grow less and less concerned with ideological purity. It doesn`t really matter if I agree on someone on all of the issues that are important to me anymore, but if I get the sense the candidate has his or her head in the right place and isn`t going to drive us off a cliff while shouting `But at least I never supported that comparatively-irrelevant issue!` If there is no country to speak of, almost all of my important issues are meaningless. I have been reading some on the candidates, and Perry is starting to look like the one who can actually BE a president. He is still not my choice, Palin is, but I`m starting to weaken my resolve. Things are very dire, and results are starting to be more important than intentions.

Right now it reminds me of two chihuahuas yapping at each other.

The enemy is OBAMA.

Neither one is capable of putting our nation on the right track, IMO. Both are well entrenched political party players who are nothing more than an amalgamation of McCain, Dole, Bush, McConnell, Boehner, et al.

“Rick Perry does what is right regardless of whether it is popular. He walks the walk of a true conservative. I think he would be a fine candidate. We have a lot in common. I really like him.” - Sarah Palin

Perry touted his formula for governing Texas, which he said includes low taxes, low spending, less regulation and discouragement of lawsuits.

What a laugh!

Low taxes? We've had property taxes increase twice in two years (courtesy of Susan Combs- part of Perry's state government)....and don't tell me it's local budgets that determine the property taxes. Bandera County tax assessors office was told to raise property taxes or the state would do it for them.

Low spending? Texas Spending Spree — “We’re Just a Bit Short.

Less regulation? HA-hahahaha! What happened to standing up against the EPA or TSA in Texas? Hint- Perry blinked, and we are stuck with more regulation.

Discouragement of lawsuits? OK, I'll give him that.
