Romney is gaining because Perry is getting hammered by our fellow conservatives. It’s unbelieveable that God, our Second Amendment rights, the right to life and love of country are taking a back seat to Gardisil and immigration. Of course immigration is a major issue but I believe we can work with Perry on this. With obama we don’t stand a chance.
Perry is a rino. When will some of you figure this out? How about getting behind a real conservative?
***Of course immigration is a major issue but I believe we can work with Perry on this.***
I truly admire Perry’s ability to admit when he is wrong or has made mistakes. That’s unusual in politics. He has the reputation of being a fighter, but not a bully. Even his former adversaries appear to like him. Changing from a Democrat to Republican shows growth and humility too.
He’s taking heat for some of his questionable decisions - as he should. You notice he’s not blaming anyone else;)
I think our “fellow conservatives” are precisely the ones who destroyed Bush, although I have always thought there were a lot of Dem trolls on the anti-Bush threads who revved up the old guys at their keyboards.
There were a lot of things Bush did that I didn’t agree with, because I thought he was intimidated by the Dem hostility over Iraq (which they initially supported) and then began sucking up to liberals.
But we have to remember that we can disagree with somebody on something...and then be able to present our positions and argue for them and make suggestions.
Instead, we had the anti-immigration idiots referring to “Jorge Bush” and offering absolutely no suggestions of their own except machine guns at the border, even though the biggest immigration problems we have had have been LEGAL immigrants from Muslim countries who hate us and are trying to destroy us.
So why didn’t these people offer their own suggestions? Because they are either Dem trolls, or they’re elderly keyboard kommandos without any suggestions.
If people want to attack a candidate’s positions, they should do that but have some idea of what would be their solution - and then be prepared to discuss it. Otherwise, this will be done entirely by other people, and believe me, nobody here (including me) is going to like it.
In short, the word is “grow up, people” (no matter how old you are).
Well said! I don’t get it, all the hammering on these candidates. Can’t these people just discuss issues and try to win on merit without getting hateful and nasty?
There’s a few I really dislike but I’m going to consider all so I can pick the best candidate for the election.
Anyone but Obama!!
