You are not correct about Perry. He is a staunch conservative and has proved numerous times over the past 10 years as Governor. I voted for Perry previously and will again. If you are not from TX, then you don’t know the truth about Perry.
Their argument is that Romney polls the best against Obama and therefore we should back him.
We've pointed out how the polls keep changing, just look at how many different poll surges that have taken place for the GOP nomination fight before a single vote has been cast.
We even have been told by conservatives and GOPers who should know better that we have to nominate a moderate who can appeal to Independent voters and conservative Democrats if we want to win and that man is Mitt Romney.
So frustrating. But we have to fight back. We have to do what Rush Limbaugh has said before and know that conservative principles are not only righteous, but they are winning issues and we should champion them proudly.
And now we must champion those candidates who are best able to advocate for conservative principles as GOP nominee for president.
