Perry is polling the lowest of anyone but Huntsman.

Why lie to the members of Free Republic?

You’re referring to a composite of certain polls. You apparently don’t know the definition of “lie.” Now, what you should have said is “Can you clarify which polls?” To which I would have obliged you. But now, I simply don’t care.

If you cherry pick polls and ignore the majority of them to make your claim, I’ll stay with my claim that you are trying to deceive others.

And it is still early.

At this time 4 years ago, McCain was polling about 1/2 the numbers of Gulliani.

What a moron. RCP’s composite isn’t a majority, and still shows Perry at the bottom. So, I was both correct, in the reference to the Iowa poll, and in general, that’s he’s not even in the running. Have a good day, you’ll certainly be shocked when you find out, like anyone with a brain, that Perry’s toast.

Yes, please do next time you say someone is lying, because you fail to be competent enough to ask a question when you don’t understand. Don’t bother messaging me, it’s obvious you have nothing important to say.

Just because a Freeper does not like Perry does not mean they support Romney. That is a ignorant statement every time it is posted.

It was annoying when Perry supporters were pushing the idea that not supporting Perry was supporting Romney (and it's funny in retrospect given Perry's implosion), and it's annoying now when some Cain supporters are pushing the idea that not supporting Cain is supporting Romney. I thought at first the Cain supporters pushing that idea were being sarcastic towards the Perry supporters over their prior claims of not support Perry = supporting Romney, but I think some are serious.

At this point in the primary, supporting anybody not named Romney is just fine. The important thing is that 75% or more are not supporting Romney and that in the end, which ever Conservative comes out on top will get the support of all Conservatives. Romney is not going to get the nomination unless the GOP wants Obama to win.

Then, genius, tell me when the definition of polling became “RCP Composite score of a few polls.” Feel fre to post a link that shows that definition. Here’s the dictionary’s definition, which makes my statement accurate:

polling:n
the conducting of a public opinion poll

Here’s the recent Iowa poll, with Rick Perry narrowly beating “Someone else” and Jon Huntsman:

Is that simple enough for you? I realize Perry trolls don’t like facts, but Perry’s polling just about “Someone else” and only Jon Huntsman. Now, scamper off with the other Perristas, and you have a good day. I sure will.

Well Perry is the only proven pro-life candidate of those in double digits.

Cain said he is personally pro-life but doesn't think it should be part of the political discussion and called it a social choice.

Perry is the only candidate in double digits that is proven pro-second Amendment and gun enthusiast.

Perry is the only candidate in double digits who was a military officer.

Perry is the only candidate left in double digits who cut spending.

Perry is the only candidate in double digits who is suing the Federal Government for overreach.

Perry is the only candidate in double digits who is the CIC of a 20,000+ military.

Perry is the only candidate in double digits who created an environment in his state that created jobs during the Obama recession.

Perry is the only candidate in double digits who didn't support TARP.

Perry is the only candidate in double digits who has run the 15th largest economy in the world and succeeded.

So one select poll in one select area justifies a blanket statement without qualification or support. Only if called on it would you explain it. Otherwise you would hope others would believe it to be more.

I'll refrain from the name calling you continue to use.

Unfortunately, Perry does not hate illegals. That puts him at odds with the nativist branch whose only issue is deporting or shooting illegals on sight. It’s too bad, because NO Republican is going to do either of the things they want.
