I don’t think he’s a flake. I am grateful he’s served in the military. I just don’t think he’s a very serious or well versed candidate and maybe that’s because he shot up in the polls too quickly. He’s not prepared yet. Perhaps he’ll do better with more debates under his belt. Like I said, I met him in the atmosphere of the *after the debate party*. He was nice, personable and fun.
Taxpayer paid tuition for illegals is NOT making things unfavorable to wetbackery.
When someone says a candidate is not serious, I take that to mean he/she lacks gravitas and immediately the word flake comes to mind. Just the way I think. No problem. ;^)
Your observation that Perry is not prepared enough is more on the mark and I agree.
Is it okay if she declares when she thinks it’s the right time to do it?
I’m not talking about fire in the belly to win political office.
I’m talking about a very different kind of fire in the belly.
And I don’t think he will necessarily take a bribe. But I don’t have the trust in Perry that I have in Palin, based on their records.
And I would guess there are plenty of multi-billionaires out there who would pay a hefty sum if they thought it would give Obama a second term.
And there is no possible way to use false ethics charges against the President in a way that would bring her to personal bankruptcy or drain millions from taxpayers, so that argument is eliminated.
She can decide on declaring whenever.
But 1) She needs to stop spamming me telling me that if we send her enough money, she might run.
And 2) Candidate debates are for declared candidates. I would say that I would much rather see her up there at the debates than Ron Paul, but until she declares she doesn’t qualify.
“She needs to stop spamming me telling me that if we send her enough money, she might run”
Are you sure this isn’t a big fat lie?
So, Perry or Romney?
Both fit the Republican candidate model since Reagan left office, but Perry is an easier sell in flyover country while Romney is an easier sell to either coast and the 'moderate' middle types.
Perry talks a good game, and to some, so does Mittsy, but if you want to really stir things up and put us back on a Constitutional footing, it will take a reformer. And neither Perry nor Romney are that candidate.
It is first a Constitutional issue and the POTUS swears an oath:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against invasion;"

I got the spam from SarahPAC this morning. Pretty sure it wasn’t fake, because I checked the headers against prior SarahPAC emails.
Romney because of his health care bill can't get the nod from the GOP base. Once Perry's horrible record on illegals and his pandering to La Raza is known to conservatives, he'll go lower than Bachmann in the polls. He was booed at the debate for his pandering, and it's going to follow him everywhere.
It's just a matter of time, Perry isn't the conservative the Perry supporters think he is and word will get out.
He's like the Trump meteor, riding high in April, shot down in the fall.......
You’re right, but I don’t think the voters are capable of being convinced that Perry is not what he seems.
Did it say “Donate and maybe I’ll run?”
Essentially, yes. Here’s the website it linked to: https://www.sarahpacdonate.com/mb_eb_091311
