There are no perfect candidates. However, the choices we are presently saddled with are more of the same.
At this point in time it looks like it will be either Perry or Romney winning the nomination.
Its a sad state of affairs when we have to settle for the lesser of two evils once again.
Any one of the candidates can beat Obama right now. any one of them. But through manipulation of the system by the establishment types int he republican party we are going to have another moderate republican in office next year and things are only going to keep getting worse.
The problem many of your establishment types don’t seem to understand is that we need a transformational leader from the right. Someone willing to take on the corporate leeches and far left whack jobs. Neither Perry nor Romney would touch them - their politics are part of the problem not the solution.
Hey I know what you are going through, I did not vote for McCain last time around. I thought, “well how bad can this Obama chap really be?”
Now I know. I won’t make that mistake again. In the primaries I like in order; Cain, Santorum, Gingrich, Perry...the rest I have no love for at all but would support ANY of them (even Paul or Romney) over Obama.
Am I happy that Perry or Romney are likely to be our nominee? No. But I’d prefer either over the current President. My top three have no chance because of a variety of reasons the top one being (almost) no executive experience. We’ve gone that route now for almost three years....hows’ that been workin’ for us?
