I’ve been a FReeper for a few years now, and I have never read such nastiness until Perry jumped into the race yesterday. Good for you for not drinking anybody’s, Repub, Dem, or tea party, Koolaid. I want Palin to run, but if she doesn’t I was considering Perry. I don’t know if I like the people that support him though. I’m tough on obama because of the company he keeps, and I don’t want to lie down with dogs either.
This ‘cat’ won’t be laying down with dogs...not after this thread.
Then you need to spend some time on a few economics threads. Pick one having to do with free trade...it'll make this thread look like vanilla pudding.
I’m trying really hard to figure out who to support. There are things I like about several of the candidates, but frankly none I can just say, “this is the one, no holds barred”. I’ve been aware of Perry for a long time, obviously, since I lived in TX while he was in office and in other offices. He has baggage that concerns me. I had hoped he wouldn’t even get into the race. I know what he’s saying now is very compelling, and if I knew nothing else about him I would very much like him.
But yes, if they think they are winning followers here I think they are sadly mistaken. But this is not uncommon. FR has given me a very tough skin.
I was just getting ready to post that...thank you...
