You are right. Every candidate except Ted Cruz has been demonized.

Yup. As I mentioned in a previous post, no one is going to be absolutely perfect in every way, but too many people are too rigid in their ideology and the Dems know this and target it - it is our weakness, not our strength, but some consider it as bending over.

Well if it comes down to between Mitt and Rick or Jeb and Rick freepers will be peeing all over themselves to pull the lever for Rick.

I am very concerned that Ann Romney is not going to be able to stop Mitt from jumping in the 2016 race. If he does the GOP elite will embrace him like a long lost son. The money will roll in and he will be jammed down our throats. I think that Mitt knows he really did win the 2012 election but the election fraud in Ohio and Fla cost him the Whitehouse. All the polls the day before the election showed him surging. Bill Clinton came out and said he was sure Mitt was going to win. It must eat at Mitt night and day.

Its important that we have as many conservatives as possible lining up for the 2016 campaign to try to keep Mitt and Jeb out of it.

We're talking about a primary. There is no reason to make concessions when in the primaries. Perry is far from being conservative and his horrendous record should be up for debate. For instance...

Perry is just fine with giving financial aid and in state tuition too ILLEGAL aliens

He made clear he believes conservatives “have no heart” because they did not share his pro-ILLEGAL alien position

He wanted a Superhighway through Texas but opposed a fence on the border

He imposed a nanny-state executive order that would have forced Texas females as young as 11 to get injections of an unwanted, unneeded, and unproven vaccine. The entire Texas state legislature opposed him on this.

He endorsed RINO extraordinaire Mitch McConnell for reelection

He endorsed RINO David Dewhurst for senate over TEA Party favorite, Ted Cruz

He refused to endorse the best conservative in the senate, Ted Cruz. In fact , if Perry had his way Cruz would never have made it to Washington

Just last week Perry praised Hillary on the number one issue that Republicans need to attack her, her horrendous performance as Secretary of State. Perry said Hillary was a "great secretary of state".

Perry’s failures are abundant and his record aberrant. Together, they disqualify him from any serious consideration.
