“Later in the week, as the results of other scientifically conducted polls polls come out, we will learned what the majority of average voters in America think after the last debate rather than only know what the political junkies at one meeting on Florida thought after the last debate.”

OK but who shows up to vote in primaries?

OK but who shows up to vote in primaries? ..... ari-freedom

Well, let's check that out:

=========================

Florida Republican primary, 2008

John McCain ("RINO"): 701,761 votes

Mitt Romney ("RINO"): 604,932 votes

Rudy Giuliani ("RINO"): 286,089 votes

Mike Huckabee ("RINO"): 262,681 votes

Ron Paul (Kook): 62,887 votes

Fred Thompson ("Conservative"): 22,668 votes

Alan Keyes ("Conservative"): 4,060 votes

Duncan Hunter ("Conservative"): 2,847 votes

Tom Tancredo ("Conservative"): 1,573 votes

=========================

Let me whip out my calculator here ..... Add, add, add ....

Okay, ready.

"Who showed up to vote in the Florida Republican Primary in 2008?"

1,855,463 RINO's

62,887 Kooks

37,148 "True Conservatives"

So, ari-freedom, at least in Florida, FIFTY TIMES MORE RINO's THAN "TRUE CONSERVATIVES" show up to vote at the primaries.

That is the danger of ripping apart any candidate that is "just not Consevatively Pure" enough. Perry is FAR more conservative a candidate than the large majority of average American voters in the 21st Century ever vote for.

If Perry is destroyed, the next President of the United States will be either Mitt Romney or Barack Obama.
