No, they are not. Perry/Romey are more of the same twist in the breeze focus group tested non leaders that the Party Establishment loves.
All the rest of the candidates, even Paul, showed MORE leadership and MORE fidelity to GOP principals then either Perry or Romney did.
It time for the GOP to wake up. Running the same sort of Democrat Lite candidates year after year is what got us to the edge of absolute disaster in 2008.
We listened to the Party Establishment bots all tell us how "great" it would be to run McCain in 2008. How did THAT bit of Democrat Lite idiocy work out of us?
NOW it the time for real leadership, not play-it-safe Democrat Lite empty suits.
If you support another ACTUAL real candidate, fine.
All the candidates are putting themselves out there and all of them are a darn sight better than obama.
I’m just telling you that no matter who is the front-runner, no matter who is nominated, someone on FR will call that candidate a RINO establishment hack.
Ga-ron-teed!
