. Along with Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter. In the end both of them let it be known that they supported Mitt, but few here have come to grips with that yet.
Our best hope is the Texans here that held their noses and voted for Perry for governor, but know what he really is.
His latest Hate Crimes push should be enough for most.
Since you hate Rick Perry and Palin is not running which of the crazy eight (err seven with Pawlenty gone) from Thursday’s debate do you favor for POTUS?
Who is projecting on Perry? You can't stumble across a mention of him on FR without "RINO" "open borders" "Gardasil" "Bilderberg" "Muslim lover" or other mud being flung his way. It's a joke as are most of the allegations.
Are people really clamouring for Bachmann, a backbench lawyer/legislator with no executive experience? Sounds like Barack Obama! And she does have a problem with honesty. She says on the stump and in debates she wouldn't raise the debt ceiling--BULL--she signed on with "Cut, Cap & Balance" if ObamaCare was repealed too but it WOULD raise the debt ceiling. She insists on looking pure rather than being honest.
Pawlenty is a jerk but his words of warning about Bachmann playing fast and loose with the truth should not be taken lightly. Then there's the family farm thing. It took subsidies though she's denied that, but then she said she didn't get income from it but then her own congressional disclosures showed she did declare farm income.
A penchant for prevarication, backed by a wafer thin record, is a bad omen.
If the field isn't set, he may not be "the one" but at least with Perry we can look at his decade of executive experience and know where he stood, where he stands and how effective he's been.
I still think Obama's the odds on favorite for reelection. If this were Aug 2012 and he had 39% approval I may be feeling differently. The Left will see 2012 as "life and death" even if they're irritated at Obama for not being Left enough. They will leave no stone unturned or unthrown.
