I am waiting for everyone to declare, and for the official campaign to start before I decide who to support in the primaries. As far as I am concerned, the more quality candidates, the better chance we have of electing a good solid conservative. It's still early.

What makes no sense to me is this blind devotion to a person who has yet to decide if she will even run. I hope she does. I voted for her once, and would have no problem doing it again. But the obsession to kneecap anyone who isn't Palin is sick.

Our only choices are the ones who actually apply for the job.

I am not supporting anyone just yet, but watching the Palin cheerleaders and the delusional Ron Paul supporters trying to turn Perry into a cartoon character before he has a chance to tell his side of the story is not helpful to advancing conservatism. Supposedly our collective goal.

Bull crap!

Perry’s record is out there, and exposing it is far from the dream you’re living in.

“But the obsession to kneecap anyone who isn’t Palin is sick.”

If examining his record and criticizing it is kneecapping, then count me as a kneecapper. Calling political discussion of a candidate’s record “kneecapping” is really a dangerous point of view. Does the First Amendment ring a bell?

Statists and totalitarians try to stifle debate this way and it is not healthy. Frank political discussion is not kneecapping, and you shouldn’t call it such. It would be something else again if I were commenting on Perry’s private life which I have not done.
