Politics ain’t beanbag, brother. I’m here to take down any and all non-Conservative phonies who think they are owed or should be coronated with the Presidential nomination (or lesser office as the case may be). 2012 is key and we can’t screw it up like last time when there were no Conservative “First Tier” candidates. Now is not the time for timidity, and I brook no bullcrap from the bots. You may not like my style, but I’ve got the credibility on this website for spotting those that would do enormous harm to the Conservative movement and this country, and I’ve risked my account in shining the light of truth even when overwhelmingly opposed.
From what I see, you are only bringing heat - and not shining any light whatsoever. I never start a food fight on this forum, but I will jump in and go as hard as anyone when engaged.
But throwing around the same two or three arguments and thinking you are strengthening them by getting madder and more vitriolic does not expand your argument.
I’m undecided on Perry, but I am mature enough to realize a few things: at his age and with his experience, he’s going to have more good and more bad than most. That’s just a fact of chronology. Another fact is that as a long time crusader against the Federal government, he has over reached as a state governor. That almost goes with the territory of being a states right type governor in the face of an expanding Federal government.
His good is this: he projects a great leadership image and he’s plain spoken and he’ll take it to Obama and liberalism and big government fearlessly.
Those are CRITICAL CRITICAL plusses in this election cycle. Yes, I get the gardicil issue and I am uneasy with some of his immigration stances. But I have also seen these issues blown up and misprepresented by his opponents - and that reeks of desperation.
Misrepresenting his border stance and using the most egregious language on the HPV vaccine - yet again and again - does not expand your argument.

I”m all for exposing phonies - but I think you should consider a few things:
A: phonies versus imperfect conservatives is a legit issue, maybe you should think about that.
B: why are you so obsessed with who YOU think feels “owed.” How do you know?
C: Maybe you should work for good government within the imperfect realities of our system.
Think this: the best governing in your lifetime was during Reagan’s hey day. The next best governing was when Clinton was President but a very conservative congress pushed him to the right. That gave us net net good government (for the most part).
My point is this: There will almost certainly be the most conservative congress starting in 2013 than we’ve had since 95-96. Such a scenario will lead to much better governance than we have now with a Perry or even a Romney in the White House.
The only thing that will result in the same government, or worse government, is four more years of Obama. Keep your eye on the ball.
