Perry panic has spread from the conference rooms of Washington, D.C., to the coffee shops of Brooklyn, with the realization that the conservative Texan could conceivably become the 45th president of the United States,

The writing on the wall can now be seen even in these hell holes.

I have voted for Perry in every election since he was first elected to Agriculture Commissioner in 1990, but there has been a lot about him that I have not liked. The Trans-Texas Corridor land grab and his executive order mandating that all Texas girls receive the HPV vaccine (that was manufactured only by Merck, who had just hired Perry's chief of staff to handle it's Texas lobbying) come immediately to mind.

On the other hand, I am no more thrilled with any of the other announced candidates for the Republican presidential nomination. I will probably end up voting for whichever one I think has the best chance of beating Obama and will actively campaign for whoever gets the nomination.

We desperately need another Reagan and I just don't see anyone in the race who comes close.

What’s new? The Ron Paul contingent here has ALWAYS run on fumes. And if they have their way, those fumes will be legalized! :-)

Since, PIAPS no longer is senator...I'd like to see him take creepy, demon possessed Schumer out. I don't think Rudy is really interested in being a senator, however.

Oh I know let him be appointed to either USAG or Homeland Security Secretary when a Republican is elected to the WH.

Basically, not much to understand. He’s not a Conservative. His disciples here so desperately want some good-looking “Conservative Messiah” to take out Zero, that they’re willing to overlook his record and fool themselves into believing he’s everything THEY want him to be. Where have we seen that before ? He’s an opportunist. If Gore had been elected President back when he supported him, he would’ve gotten a plum job in his administration. Ditto for Rudy. As I point out to the Perrybots, if Rick had been a FReeper in 2007/08, he’d have been ZOT’ted (banned) from this website for not being a Conservative (for supporting Rudy). It drives them nuts. We can do better than him, and we must, if we’re to get a Conservative agenda passed in DC.

You are and have been aworthless shill, probably paid, for a long time. You are the meaningless one and most people already know it or will realize it shortly. When should we expect the all caps posts to begin? I see them coming soon, as you lose your arguments again and continue to scream RINO at everyone.

Oh really sir? Show me where he has been an abomination to being a conservative.

YOU are looking for purity and perfection. You are obtuse.

The announcement from Gov. Palin should be forthcoming and then we’ll have the candidate to rally around.

Not fair. And not true either.

He just happens to disagree with you (and prolly with me too). But the things you accuse him of are simply false.

Yup, really. And I laugh derisively everytime I hear the “purity/perfection” card trotted out. That’s the equivalent of the race card to RINOs.

Nobody is conservative enough for you. You don’t mind losing the senate seat in California to dems, you would not have minded Alexi winning in Illinois, seems to me you like democrats better than republicans.
Name the candidates you like, please tell us. You are paid by someone, why not just tell us.

As I’ve stated frequently, my endorsement goes to Gov. Palin. She’s had my endorsement since 2008.

I would actively campaign for him if he would run against either Chuckie Schumer or Hillary Clinton for NY Senator.

Typo. I was thinking about the 2008 primary (I try to block out most of what has happened since then). I meant to say that I would have actively campaigned for him if he had run against Hillary. I would still campaign for him if he would run against Chuckie.

I don't particularly care about Hillary's successor, Gillibrand, though I would probably send Rudy a campaign contribution if he would run against her.

Never mind my #71; I see now.

If I may respectfully ask: what if she does NOT run? Surely a man of your integrity and common sense will admit that’s a possibility.

THEN who do you like?

And sometimes they are! ;-)
But not in fieldmarshaldj’s case.
