Just me me a candidate who is prolife and does not support individual mandates, global warming crap, gay rights, or is weak on immigration and who does not like bailouts.

I won’t care if they are otherwise perfect.

Nobody is asking for “perfection”, but some issues are deal breakers.

No kidding. I'm not hearing anyone asking for perfection but I'm seeing the most imperfect at the front of the line. I'll be voting as a tea partier.

In today's religion of compromise, perfection would entail all the qualities you listed.

Collectivist, which include moderate Republicans, have lowered the bar so low, that “radicalism” has turned into pro-life beliefs, marriage is only between a man and woman, you are an insensitive boob if one is against health care “for all”, and have the audacity to think that we should enforce our borders.

We should be looking for the candidate who is less (Preferably not) compromised and promote core beliefs which protect the individual. That is not seeking perfection, that is seeking sanity.

Ditto. That old “perfect candidate” strawman is the Conservative’s equivalent of the “race card.” Anyone using it should be automatically discounted. I’m sick of hearing that basic Conservative principles are somehow extreme. They are not.

There are three conservatives in this race, Cain, Bachmann and Santorum, pick one and screw the media and the polls and hanity and his best friend rove.

Thank you for saying it so well. Amen.
