I am way on board with this article.

I honestly believe that buying into the Perry Romney BS will lead us to ruin, and we will not find the sort of recovery from the Obamination and the Oblidiot that this Nation deserves.

We need to have the courage of our convictions and elect REAL conservatives. Perry and Romney are RINOS with capital “R's”. No no no. People love Marco Rubio, but his dad wasn't a Naturalized citizen when he was born any more than Oblidiot’s dad was. I refuse to vote for him, I can't I took a principled stand and I will stick to it.

No, there are only two candidates I like right now with few, if any, philosophical reservations: Sarah Palin and Herman Cain.

Love it or hate it, these two are principled serious leaders in their own lives and experiences. They make the right decisions to achieve their goals. Their goals do not always mean their own personal best interests, but the best interest of the goal. For Cain, that meant making tough choices which made the businesses he was running profitable again. For Sarah, when ethics complaints were taking up a vast majority of her Staff's time - which should have been going to running the state, not researching emails etc on bogus ethics complaints, and costing millions to the taxpayers of Alaska, she took herself out of range and eliminated a threat to the people of her state. That threat wasn't Sarah Palin, the threat was a bunch of liberal bloggers with time on their hands and professional help in popping out 20 ethics complaints a day. The only solution was what she chose, to resign. It was the RIGHT choice. So anyone saying she is a quitter is either a liar, or doesn't have a clue about what was going on and why.

These are two people who are capable of making tough choices ON PRINCIPLES they not only believe in, but live by and do not compromise on - even when it hurts.

We know they hold our principles. We know they will make tough choices based on principles we fundamentally agree with. Any other questions? Seriously, forget who the MSM is backing, forget who has the most establishment money in the bank. Its time to have the courage of our convictions. Palin and Cain both are cut from the same cloth we are. What else do we need to know?

I too believe that Sarah will be running. And it will transform EVERYTHING. WOO HOO!

Thank you for the great reply.

I believe that we have an historic opportunity to advance the conservative cause in 2012 and that we should take full advantage of it. Reagan and the Republicans had their huge victory in 1980 in large part because of the awfulness of the Carter Administration. The people were ready for a change and it produced two presidential landslides for the GOP.

My only regret was that the Democrats still controlled the Congress for the most part. Imagine what Reagan could have achieved with Republican control of both Houses!

Well that opportunity is ours for the taking in 2012 if we stick with Tea Party conservatism. I do not think even Freepers understand how huge our victory was in the 2010 congressional elections. We basically stopped Obama's agenda in its tracks. However, in order to reverse it, we will need more than to just put a Mitt Romney or Rick Perry in the White House. We will need a true Tea Party conservative in the White House with Tea Party control of the Senate and House. Otherwise the Congressional Democrats will keep us in checkmate just like we are holding them in checkmate right now.

The 9th District in New York takeover of the Weiner seat and the massive victory in Nevada last Tuesday are indicators that the Tea Party is still gathering steam. It would be shame to lose our momentum by nominating another McCain/Dole type.

When one realizes that Rick Perry is saying things today that are different from what he has said in the past, you can’t help but think he’s just another politician.

He switches his words around like a Mitt Romney or a Bill Clinton and for us folks in Pennsylvania, old Arlen Specter who would turn right before a primary election.
