“Isn’t a moderate conservative better than the marxist scumb that is in the White House now?”
In the end? No, not really. The RINO wing of the republican party has been destroying this country almost as fast in recent years.
Sorry Perry-bot, why you lie about your real agenda in the vain hope it will make you look credible, you have lost the debate.

He gave $250 to Jose Serrano in 1993...
How do you know this guy wasn’t moderate in 1993?

By his voting record.
American Conservative Union gave him a 4 out of 100 for Conservative Issue voting in 1993.

Only a mere five years. I’m not a “Perrybot” but you are a nut.
You guys have been going after Perry for supporting Al Gore, as I have, but when it’s pointed out to you that Cain has his own Demonrats in his closet, you get all pissy.
Nothing but a bunch of hypocrites.
In 1993, Perry, while serving as Texas agriculture commissioner, expressed support for the Clinton health care reform proposal, describing it as "most commendable." The health care plan was ultimately unsuccessful due to Republican congressional opposition.[23][24][25][26][27] In 2005, after being questioned on the issue by a potential opponent in the Republican governor primary, Perry said that he expressed his support only in order to get Clinton to pay more attention to rural health care.[28]
Can Cain be relied upon to nominate a solid conservative to the Supreme Court if there is opening? Inquiring minds want to know.

Yawn. I like Perry, Gingrich, and Bachmann. I got no use for Herb. It’s not a secret, so I have no “real agenda” that I’m hiding.
Project much?

Do you have any credible evidence that he wouldn’t?
No, look in the mirror to see the hypocrite.

And of course, they leave out the fact that in 1993 Cain was still with Godfather’s Pizza, which had stores in Nebraska.
It’s always a good idea to the donate to the party in power when you’re in business. That’s just the way the political system works.
There's no such animal as a "moderate conservative". What you're describing is commonly referred to as a RINO, or an establishment Republican.
The answer to your question is, of course, yes, but why would you even consider choosing such a politician at a time like this? Our country is being destroyed before our eyes. We need a hard-core, conservative fighter in the White House, not another go-along-get-along "compassionate conservative", like Bush/Dole/McCain.
That rules out Romney and Perry. Period.
Not even close. Pissant finally got booted for some pretty vile misogynistic language...and he had an obvious problem with women in general, not just Sarah.
Cain needs vetting. Better now than later.
"All but one of Cain’s contributions to Democrats went to candidates in Nebraska, where Godfather’s Pizza, the company Cain led from 1986 to 1996, had been headquartered for more than 35 years: In 1993, Cain gave $500 to former Nebraska Gov. Bob Kerrey and $250 to New York Rep. Jose Serrano. In 1994, Cain wrote a check for $500 to former Nebraska Rep. Peter Hoagland. Two years later, he gave $500 to Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson and in 1998, he donated another $500 to Omaha newscaster Michael Scott’s campaign for Congress.
“They were business decisions and personal decisions,” Cain told The Ticket when asked about the donations to Democrats. “One was a restaurateur. One was a personal friend. All moderate Democrats.”
National Review now has their long knives out for Cain, big time.

And we know how that panned out...
