You have now fully illustrated the depth of your intellectual argument. Thank you ... and God bless.
To: markomalley
The Establishment GOP is playing two cards, Romney and Perry, and will be happy with either of these two native sons continuing the GOP's kinder, gentler progressivism.
You want real change, you'll need a Constitutionally inspired reformer to do it. Neither Perry nor Romney is that person.

at least Willard has not spent his whole life as a career politician
Only because he can't get elected to something, although he has been running for various positions for 20 years.

No he is a rino, a friend and supporter of algores and a career politician. Owned and operated by cronyism.

Well . . . that’ll give Romney 1 or 2 extra percentage points—now he only trails by 10 (according to the latest CNN poll). LOL!

I don't have a candidate to support yet.
This is the primary..."they" have to sell me on someone and so far, just like every primary election since Ronald Reagan left office, it's a rino fest.
To vote FOR someone, my litmus test is:
Will the Constitution and the freedom and liberty of the individual be protected or threatened by this person's Presidency?
Of those currently in the race, only Bachmann and Cain seem to pass that test, but Bachmann is a bit gaff prone and Cain has shown his inexperience.
It's still very early and the candidates will either improve or implode, so we'll have to wait and see how things work out.

Actually, I think that Pawlenty said that Perry HAS a complete package. Very suspicious...

To: markomalley
Why would the establishment be worried?
They've practically closed the sale on RINO Rick Perry who is Romney without the affection for socialized medicine. Plus the sense to throw conservatives some good sound bytes.
And, if they get an upset, Romney is Rick Perry without the affection for illegal aliens.
The only things the establishment has to worry about at this point is:
- Keeping Sarah Palin from joining the race.
- Keeping Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain from getting any traction.

[but the GOP does not know how to tap into what We The People are feeling.]
Or perhaps, cannot, because they have no moral high ground to stand on.
To: indianrightwinger
IF she runs, she (Palin)
will run against Perry on the crony capitalism charge and win a piece of the right vote. Then, Romney will further solidify his place as the nominee. The End As much as I like Palin, I fear that that assessment is correct.
To: markomalley
The only reason Pawlenty would have to do this is because he thought his support would go to Mitt when he dropped out, but they believe it actually went to Perry.
