I think that the word “democratic” gets used regularly with the definition of: “voting on things.”

Which we do. Lots of things. It’s a “democratic” process. Even for electors and representatives, folks vote, the votes are tallied, and the one with the most votes goes forward and the one without goes back to the dustbin.

I suspect that Rick Perry is the 3rd coming of GWBush. Bush had his weaknesses, but I vastly prefer him to Obama.

My favorite candidate at this point is Palin, second might be Cain once I learn more about him, and third, when compared to all the others is someone like Perry, who is conservative on my touchstone issue, life, and who is conservative or reborn conservative on all the other issues I care about.

I’ve heard a considerable number of criticisms of Perry. I know very little about him, but it intrigues me that you might support him.

Man, at this point even many Democrats are better than Mr. Dunham.
All of the politically minded Democrats are too chicken to even run. Even Her Thighness isn't running this time.
I don't recall there having ever been another time in history that there wasn't even a token Party challenger.
Dunham has Democrats scared spit-less. What true cowards they really are.

BTW, I understand. I'll cease and desist.
At least you were willing to listen, though it obviously changed little in your mind.

It seems that once again, unless someone much better comes along, conservative Americans will be voting for the lesser of two evils.
