Gingrich was good, and good with a strategy that almost never succeeds - going after the moderator. Bachmann is best on the stump, and while she is usually pretty good in these forums, she was thrown off by Pawlenty, who went from ineffectual to disagreeable. Perry was of course smart to stay away. The real race is Perry v. Romney.
The real race to be McCain #2 is Perry v. Romney.
SARAH PALIN 2012...I’m still hoping she jumps in.
Granted anyone is better than Obama, but the choices we have are truly pathetic. I like Santorum, but I don’t think he has any chance,...not enough people like him.
Perry, Romney, Huntsman, Newt....all RINOS. Sure they talk a great game and Newt really sounded great last night. But it’s their walk that does not match up with that talk. They can’t be trusted. Would they get us back on track, possibly. But I’m sure they’d serve THEIR purposes first.
As for Cain and Paul...I like them and they are right on most issues. But I don’t think they’d be great leaders. Cain kind of lost me with his “islam” statements and view points and sometimes he comes across kind of condescending, IMO. Although I’m sure he could get us back on track economically, look what he did to Burger King and Godfathers Pizza!!! At least he has that. Just not sure about the other issues with him.
Paul is great on domestic issues, but foreign affairs...no frakkin thank you. End the Fed - HELL YEH! Go back to the Constitution - HELL YEH!! But thinking Iran is not a threat or that there aren’t muslim extremists that want to KILL US, not sit down and make nicey nicey, is delusional at best. I agree we shouldn’t be meddling in other countries, and I agree the only Nation Building we should be doing, is here on our own damn soil. But we sure as hell should be protecting OUR interests, wherever that is. So, if that means we attack someone else to do so, then so be it. NO ONE is for war..that’s just stupid. But we MUST protect ourselves HERE and ABROAD. I don’t think he gets that and that puts us in danger, IMO.
Bachman is great, but every time I watch her, I think she gets weaker in her arguments. She didn’t come out of that debate so well last night. It’s like she repeats the same lines over and over. She doesn’t seem as strong as we need for a leader, IMO. But I still like her.
I don’t know...tough choices....I just hope we get a conservative who cares about this country and fixing the mess we are in and SAVING THE REPUBLIC AND OUR FREEDOM!!!
