[Real Cynic No More]

So, I guess we need to keep looking until we find a candidate who has never done a single thing we don’t agree with. Awaiting such an ideal is what’s keeping us from getting anywhere. I can’t think of anyone who I agree 100% with, but Perry has got some really good positive credentials as well. I personally like Palin, but I’m not yet convinced that she’s electable. Perry is my second choice.

Perry hasn’t just done SOME things I disagree with. He has done a LOTof things I disagree with. Gardasil, instate tuition for children of illegals. Opposition to the border defense. Doubling state spending in TX on his watch. Opposing the Arizona law. Supporting Proabortion Rudy Giuliani in 2008 for President, the only GOP governor to do so. How much more do you need to conclude that he is bad news.

He is not a conservative in any meaningful sense.

Would you rather we discuss this on this board or have him nominated and let the left have their field day? There is so much more to this story. He is not a knight in shining armor like he is being made out to be. And his baggage has baggage. Is this what we really want?

It's not that simple. This guy wanted to mandate vaccinations against sexually transmitted diseases parents be damned. That's a lot to swallow for me forgetting the fact that he never researched the ill effects of gardasil.

My children and grandchildren are not the governments property and the fact that Rick Perry thought differently makes me wanto to smack him in the mouth rather than vote for him.

Good point...:)

There are a lot of concerns about Rick Perry: illegal immigration, spending, relationship with radical Islam, Trans Texas Highway, compassionate conservatism, etc.

The more I see of Rick Perry, the more I am reminded of George W. Bush.

Well there are candidates who haven't done a single thing. PERIOD! Just talk what they WILL do with no record of anything already done for OUR COUNTRY.
