Electability is a qualification but authenticity is not? What kind of perverted logic is that? You could justify running anyone for President that way. It's how we got stuck with Obummer.
Charles, you have earned the.....

I fear that Romney is exactly what we’re going to have. Ideologically, that’s pretty bad. However, it’ll be a distinct upgrade from Obama, obviously, and Romney is probably a more competent manager that we’ve had in the oval office for some time. Maybe that’s underrated.
Yes but i noticed it too late sorry.
You must think Irving Kristol, who proudly reaffirmed his dedication to a philosophy he called
“neoconservativism” in the last year of his life, was a “Paulbot” too but then, perhaps, you want to throw his memory under the bus.
Sir, I am a Texan and know Perry well. He is NO conservative. He is wrong on immigration, eminent domain, Pay to play, and many more. Of course you don’t need me to tutor you it’s all available online. He did do a few things right. As in tort reform but don’t give him credit for the job situation in Texas. It has had this atmoshere for a long time before Perry and the governor has very little power here. If Palin does not run (and I think she will)we are in big trouble. More of the same at a time we need a full reversal.
Krauthammer is great when he is evaluating liberals and eviscerating them verbally for their faults.
When he starts talking about Republicans and/or conservatives, he begins speaking nonsense because of his elitist beltway insider views.
“I’m tired of voting for the lesser of two evils.”
Me too. More than two solid decades of it now. I am done.
I’m warning you all.
I don't believe anybody here needs a warning about Romney, with the exception of his die hard coreligionists, who for the most part have the good sense to keep their mouth shut about their support of him and their belief that he will be the fulfillment of "the white horse prophecy".
I can’t wait to see all the faces of those RINO establishment orators when Sarah not only enters the race, but wins the race all the way to the White House.
IT WILL BE A GREAT DAY!
Gee, that and $24.00 will get me a muffin and cup of cofee at DOJ.
FOX News is still trying to pump up Mittens? That’s beginning to piss me off BIG time.
Kraut said the same garbage about Juan.
Conservative??????????????? Mittens is in favor of big government...and all it’s strings attached....Charlie is a beltway kind of guy...and he is who they’ve selected to be their boy.
I see his primary weakness as: immigration. I'm wary of his use of executive orders, but he seems to have learned a lesson. I know the TTC was an issue that would have involved eminent domain, but I also realize that proposal did not go forward after conservatives expressed disapproval.
Rick Perry is not perfect. No candidate out there is, but he would be solid on most every issue I care about. He has also shown he both listens to and responds to conservative criticism.
He also would be better than Romney, and a million times better than Obama.
I know I won't convert you, and I'm not even trying to. Just realize that many conservatives are frightened about the primary options that exist if Perry does indeed fall by the wayside, as he appears to be doing.
Not only am I tired, I am through with them, period.

Fox news, along with the Dems continue to carry the water for Mitzy Romney. No difference between them and the rest of cable news media.
Sorry, Charlie...but “Romney” and “consevative” are mutually exclusive terms.
At this point I would vote for any of the candidates qith the exception of Chris Chriatie should he enter the race.
