Rove made sure Lisa Murkowski beat Joe Miller in Alaska.

Just how did Rove do that?

Getting rid of that bastard Rove is a great thing, but having Perry run for President isn’t worth it.

I’m sure a Bachmann Presidency would mean the end for that despicable RINO Rove anyway.

I’m backing Bachmann regardless.

Are you routinely attracted to lost causes, or is this an exception?

Gov. Rick Perry is all about a strong America and that means people working — EMPLOYMENT (like there is in Texas).

Perry’s tackled stifling regulations and lawsuits — addressed the ENVIRONMENT BS. — unions, lawyers and the public sector hate his positions and initiatives.

Perry’s strong on ENERGY.

Perry’s for smart, affordable EDUCATION — the unions and elite professors are up in arms!

Perry says to repeal Obamacare.

Perry says border security must come first and that a wall isn’t going to cut it — that conservative ascendancy is the way.

Perry says to cut taxes, cut regulations, cut spending (as Texas has) — go for the Balance Budget Amendment (just signed one here in Texas — as well as Voter PHOTO ID).

***********************

RICK PERRY:

FIRST — “Don’t spend all the money!”

SECOND — “Have a fair and predictable tax and regulatory policy!”

THIRD — “Have a legal system that doesn’t allow for over suing and make loser pay!”

Rick Perry will have long coattails and the support of governors.

We MUST get our ECONOMIC engine fired up.

Another reason to like Perry. Rove is a proven failure. He needs to retire and live on his dividends or something ... foster retired greyhounds, open a pawnshop ...

How often do you beat your wife?

LOOK, Perry is a one time Democrat, made dumb comments about seceding from the Union and is soft on illegal invaders. I don’t view him as a solid conservative.

Bachmann is an accomplished, intelligent woman who would make a great candidate and even greater President.

I’ve had it with wimpy RINOs from the Lone Star State like the Bushes. I don’t want another.

On the other hand, Perry is more preferable than Pawlenty or Romney, for what its worth.

And aside from that slime ball Huntsman, I’d support ANY GOP candidate - STRONGLY - in the General Election in order to flush that Commie Rat Obama out of the Oval Office.

Rove is out....of the closet?
The lying-fathead-illegal+luvin, prick Rove needs to pitched out of Politics along with the rest of the Bush cabal!
Actually I would prefer that Bush, Rove, Obama and all the other open border tools be convicted for treason to the USA. Then they should meet with a stiff rope from a tall tree!

All of that is made irrelevant when you say:

As for the following statement, I'm trying to sort out the non-sequitor here. What if Bachmann came from Texas?

I’ve had it with wimpy RINOs from the Lone Star State like the Bushes. I don’t want another.

NEWS FLASH! Perry isn't related to the Bush clan, as if having the same DNA as H.W. effects one's thinking - though that would be interesting study to discover how much DNA influences one's politics.

I think the problem here is that you might be into Emperor worship. That's OK, most people are, and it is for that reason we really need to find an Emperor since its nearly impossible to reeducate 300,000,000 people to think in terms of the current political template.

What I mean by "Emperor" is that the People see one man out on AF-1 to his next vacation destination or the golf course and we are convinced that he sits in his office at night, looks over our personal household bills and orders an army of bureaucrats to "do something about it", when in fact the President and the 535 elected congress critters are just figureheads for the Unseen Hand that actually does all of the work.

Why do you think the Demoncats never had a budget or on game changing legislation like Obamacare, none of the cared to read the bill since most of the language was to be filled in later by faceless bureaucrats, trial lawyers and judges?

Almost all the work is done by NGOs, think tanks, advocacy groups, lobbyists, the banking and insurance cartels, academia, etc. When Reid, Pelosi, Boehner, Obama et al push some legislation, they are only the paid actor as in Sham-wow 'verts to push the product no matter if it is snake-oil. Political DC is essentially the QVC channel for really bad legislation.

So in view of that, tell me exactly what you expect from a President, particularly an out-sider, in the face of tens of millions of bureaucrats who are a bunch of damned mindless malevolent drones doing whatever it takes to survive until they get their eternal pension?

I used to think that it was the Rolodex of the candidate that made the difference - that is, who would fill the cabinet and secretary positions. But as is has been recently demonstrated in DC these past few years, I see it more of a Hollywood styled nuclear bomb where the two clueless protagonists are fighting over which wire to cut, the red or the blue in an incomprehensible mass of wires, switches and lights - as the timer is ticking down seconds away from TEOTWAWKI.

-"So, this thinking goes, what happens if Perry becomes a candidate, or even the party’s presidential nominee, and those donors feel compelled — or coaxed by Perry allies — to stop giving to Rove-linked groups and instead to direct their giving to a handful of new overtly pro-Perry groups?"

These people (Perry, Rove, McConnel, Boehner,...) are all part of the same 'insider's club' (i.e. "political elite"). They collude and merge when it's politically and mutually convenient for 'the insider's club'. They have no ideology (thinly masqueraded as "conservative" in thought) but in actuality, it's purposeful ideology is to PRIMARILY serve their corporatist and political elite interests. That is why Sarah Palin is to be feared by them.

Rick Perry is not eligible anyway. His uncle’s mother’s aunt’s grandmother’s cousin twice removed was born Canada. The Constitution is very clear on this matter.

I agree with you. I think Perry would be a good candidate.
