Perry/Rubio?

Sounds like a recipe for amnesty and open boards.

I like Santorum, I like him a lot. He seems so much more himself lately and looks so much better and more relaxed. He must have ditched his original campaign advisor that was trying to make him something that he just couldn’t be, angry and forceful. He also ditched the heavy make-up.

She was a citizen. But if one parent is a foreigner, the law states that the American parent must live in the United States at least five years after his/her 16th birthday BEFORE the child in question is born. Obmama’s mother was not old enough to give Barack “natural born citizen” status, just “citizen” status (supposedly). There is NO QUESTION by anyone, and never has been, that Obama was not a “natural born” citizen. Just a citizen, at best.

I like him the way he was in the debate......impassioned, and solidly conservative across the boards.

Last night I heard a commentator on Fox saying he was out because he couldn't even win his Senate race in PA. What do you think of that issue/problem?

"and he looks like a good economics sidekick."

That's why I like him as a choice. This campaign is going to be about the economy. We'll have a governor who has run a state leading in jobs creation, tag along someone who is considered the guru of the budget issues as VP and we will have a winner. If not Ryan, I like Mitch Daniels in the VP slot. Another person very credible with budget issues.

Don’t let either of those bother you. Neither one of them happened. Gardasil vaccine to prevent cervical cancer thrown in with all the other state-mandated vaccines for school kids? No. The people freaked out (me included) and it never happened. Even if it had, it wasn’t REQUIRED. Same with the corridor. It didn’t happen. He isn’t perfect, but by God he listens to the People. Did you hear what he did in Texas, throwing out the liberals that write our textbooks? Liberal brainwashing for DECADES, under Bush and that horrible woman governor....Perry threw them out, the textbooks were rewritten to support the facts, and the liberal brainwashing of Texas school kids ended. Perry did that alone. He took a lot of heat for it, too because he had to fire a lot of people to get to those guys. Made national headlines because Texas, by virtue of its textbook buying power, determined other states would teach a more conservative and ACCURATE lesson.

Perry hasn’t been fully vetted yet. There are still people who believe he is a conservative. But the establishment will try to tell people that he is like they did with Bush.

Who else have we got who gets decent numbers? If Sarah has any intention of getting in the race, she needs to do it this month before Perry builds more momentum.

Not going to happen. And you’ll learn to trust Perry when you stop listening to the haters and do some research. He’s a good man.

Perry’s right: we need to put aside the politics of personal destruction.

We should be reaching across the aisle and working with liberals to do the work of the American people.

Perry will do this. He’s got my vote. :)

It’s PERRY DERANGEMENT SYNDROME. Don’t worry. They’re beginning to calm down and listen.

"We need someone with executive experience and a mean streak to get rid of the Marxists."

If that's the goal, then you must be looking somewhere other than Perry. He has many socialists ideals, including the North American Union, Open Borders, Trans Texas Corridor, Eminent Domain, Forced Vaccines, etc. etc.

It is crystal clear, Perry is NOT CONSERVATIVE. Don't let a little holy rollin' fool ya!

Even if they DID complain, he could run as the VP until it was decided by the supreme court.

Sure, while the Democratic Party flips the bird to the entire Hispanic population of America for months on end? I suppose we could clear a little time in our schedule until the Supreme Court got around to that.

A well funded "Rubio was born in Cuba" birther movement on the left would literally have prominent Democrats leaping out of windows. Axlerod would be yelling Geronimo, leading the pack. Saul Alinsky would be spinning in his grave so fast he'd wake up.

From Wikipedia:

The Republican Party primary began with a fairly wide field, as the Republicans lacked an incumbent President or Vice President. Texas Governor George W. Bush, son of the last Republican president, took an early lead with the support of much of the party establishment and a strong fund-raising effort.

I keep hearing Perry is not Bush and I don't know enough about him to have formed a strong opinion. But the similarity is noteworthy.

the question of citizenship comes up.

Once you get outside of Free Republic, Michael Savage's audience, and the editorial staff of World Net Daily, that question is a non starter.

And those three groups are not enough to swing any election anywhere.

Garbage poll, because Governor Palin is not in it! I just finished telling Rasmussen that he is a bias pollster for leaving out Governor Palin

I thought that the PA voters made a big mistake dumping Santorum because of his loyalty to Bush on the Arlen Spector issue, but I think that Santorum made a big mistake trusting Spector and Bush’s judgment of Spector. It would have been a good time to dump Spector because we weren’t going to win control of the Senate, anyway. One more loss wouldn’t have made much difference, and we might have even won, but that’s iffy.

Santorum is still a strong conservative, with strong family values, the strongest in the field and he is also very smart. I always remember his warning about the slippery slope of the ruling in Texas about Gay Rights, when Santorum took a stand on the states’ rights to make laws regarding sodomy or other sexual behavior. He said that it was a slippery slope that could lead to the destruction of traditional marriage. ( I don’t remember the whole statement, but he might have predicted plural marriage, sibling marriage, etc.

It is Santorum’s stand on the defense of marriage that is so offensive to the leftist media that they won’t even give him any coverage, not even on FOX.

Correct. We don’t need our Own Obama with Perry. I don’t need anybody making promises. Coming to save the day. Rather stick with Bachmann, Palin, or Cain.
