“I’m glad you have a candidate you can get behind.”

I’m glad you’re glad. What I’m saying is I want to be “glad” about the candidacy of Rick Perry.

Where in Perry’s record does it show he passes the true test—that he will do what’s right when nobody’s looking?

Where in Perry’s record does it show he passes the true test—that he will do what’s right when nobody’s looking?

I've seen your posts, asking that question.

Everyone is always looking at someone in office.

How can one answer a question formulated like that?

If you don't mind, who is your candidate?

Per Dr. Jack Wheeler: If you want perfection, die and go to heaven, as that's the only place you'll find it. If you want a Messiah, pray for the Second Coming, but don't demand it of a Republican presidential candidate. If you want miracles, pray that the Almighty will perform them, but don't expect them to be performed by a human being, POTUS or no.

It is doubtful Perry can pass such a test. Are your requests realistic? I want the best, most conservative I can get that can win.

These purity tests can be destructive.

On another note, I wish Perry had not signed these pledges. I'm getting sick of each group demanding a prospective candidate sign their particular pledge or they'll withhold support.

I'll have more respect for the candidate that tells these groups to go take a flying leap. Their word and record should be good enough. Pledges gets one in a trap and who knows what kind of convoluted legislation may appear.
