This should prove to the naysayers that he’s an establishment candidate.
And GOP “insiders” thought Gerald Ford was more electable than Ronald Reagan.
This should prove to the naysayers that he’s not an establishment candidate.
I will walk barefoot on broken glass, walk through bed of burning coals, swim through a moat full of hungry alligators, to vote against Obama.
SCREW the party insiders!
They are the biggest problem we have next to dimocrats!
Oh dang, the Ron Paul-tards who constantly rip Rick Perry here cannot accuse Rick Perry of being an insider.
If “insiders” are the same as “RINOs”, then of course THEY might be “better off” with Romney as the candidate. Chances are, that Romney could pull off a win, but at the cost of the Congressional and Senate elections taking place simultaneously.
A solid Conservative, who will not run away from the tough decisions on cutting the budget deficit and closing the gap without borrowing, will by the sheer audacity of staking out the path we shall have to follow, pull along a sizeable number of like-minded members of the legislative branch as well.
Romney cannot be relied upon to deliver the message, nor to follow through with the necessary reforms if he does succeed in securing the job as President.
The “GOP insiders” might be better off with Romney but the rest of us won’t be!
“Better off” translation: Will be a gracious loser to the Punk, just like Juan McCain!
Insiders?
Name them.
so we can beat some sense into them...
There is really very little difference in either one. You can keep them both.
So the ‘insiders’ like Romney? All the more reason to support Perry! The ‘insider’ are the people who got this country into the mesws it’s in! Screw them!!
So what? It may just mean that Myth could get about 350 electoral votes, including Michigan and NH, and Perry only 325 or so. All you need is 270.
That’s probably true. If this were football, I’d say, sure, put the GOP jersey on Romney and see if he scores enough points to win. The problem is that it’s a country, the greatest free country in the history of the world and the greatest hope for humanity between now and Christ’s return, and Romney is not the person this country needs. Romney may be willing to wear our uniform, but he’s a big government democrat through and through.
Ok, it's propaganda 101. The powers that be know that the base zeitgeist is anti-establishment right now.
So they take two establishment politicians like Perry and Romney, annoint one "the evil insider choice" and in doing so soldify support for another candidate as the fake "outsider" (Perry) who they also wouldn't mind getting the nomination.
“There is no state Perry can win that Mitt Romney won’t.

Uh....Forida and North Carolina come to mind.
What these insiders say we lose in moderate voters we are likely to more than make up in base voters. We need to energize our base during the primaries and not scare off enough of the squishy middle during the general election. If Perry becomes our nominee and concentrates on economics, we will win the next election. I have no doubt about it.
Eff them. They were equally “brilliant” in 1980, supporting Bush I against Ronaldus Magnus.
