Let's be honest. Who else has a better chance of not only beating Obama but of truly addressing our country's issues?
Romney - believes government can run health care - even in only in one state - that is a disgrace for a liberty loving Republican. He still hasn't admitted that he was wrong. He would be the real RINO. Pretty boy with talking points.
Bachmann- love her, respect her, she says all the right things (great of Fox this morning against that lefty Wallace) but has only slightly more experience that Obama had and I don't see the Country going with another rookie. Big negatives (for no good reason, I might add), but not as big negatives as Palin (love her too, but no chance in Hell, sorry Palin lovers).
Ron Paul - too extreme for the independents. Again, had a great showing in Iowa, but doesn't translate to the general population.
Perry - his speech yesterday was pitch perfect. Sure he isn't perfect. His enemies (including the group listed in this blog) can look at a real record of 10 years as Governor and, 17 years of public service before that to find instances when he didn't take a perfect hard line - but that doesn't define the man. The fact he was pragmatic and got results consistent with what was best for his State is what counts. When he made mistakes - and he has had a few whoppers, he is willing to change course and correct things.
We don't want another extreme ideologue like Obama who, even after every selling point of Obamacare was proved over time to be completely fictional (mostly by the GAO), still fights tooth and nail on his flawed program. Look at “raising taxes on the rich” nonsense. Even after he reaffirms the Bush tax cuts twice by signing the legislation, the next day he says - paraphrasing - “well, next time it will be different - we need to have a balanced approach”.
From all out there so far, Perry is the only guy that can be consistent with our most important principals, be able to advocate them well. He is a talented campaigner - took on Bush and his pals to beat Hutchison for Governor last time around. He plays hard and will fight back. As T-Paw proved, if you don't have the killer instinct, you're history.
BTW, love loser pays tort reform - not in all cases, but is such a great start in cleaning out our corrupt judiciary.
Let's give Perry some time to get his campaign up to speed. He will make some mistakes. From the group out there now, he seems head and shoulders above the pack.
We have to get the White House and, in my view, control Supreme Court nominations. There will be a few over the next 4 years (8 with Perry, hopefully).
From Hot Air............the name says it all.
I'll give him the benefit of doubt, pending his response over the speech and commemoration.
If it comes down to Perry or Obama, there's no choice, it's Perry.
All of them have skeletons they will need to address yet, so we'll see how it comes out.
I perdict a war.
On these pages.
Maybe the objection to Obamao that those who now support establishment RINOs have is that Soetero does not hail from their beloved establishment!
Perry is the real BAD DEAL!
