You’re right, it can’t be the case that the conservative base is simply unwilling to swallow Perry’s nonsense on the illegals, it MUST be a conspiracy between Cain and Romney. /sarc
The test would be:
Could Romney and Perry share the same ticket as President and Vice President?
And the answer would be no, because they are both liberal.
The Republican establishment does not represent me or any other patriotic American. I have no illusions that any of these people would ever stand up for any of the principles which I believe in.I see them as nothing but phony opportunists who come to conservatives right before elections to try to win our votes and who consider conservatives to be nothing but saps who will accept whatever dishonesty they promote.
Romney’s detestable, but at least he’s not doing the typical (and dishonest) feign to the right. Personally? I don’t think he’s got a snowball’s chance of winning the nomination. His only hope is to divide and conquer the conservatives, but that will only take him so far. A number of conservatives will probably drop out quickly, and the conservative vote will unify behind a leader. Romney only looks viable, because the conservative vote is currently split four or five ways.
Bwahaha!!! The MSM hasn’t done anything to make Perry look like a faux conservative and a dolt in the last three debates!
To me the more important issue is how Romney is running an incredible campaign--something folks who can`t stand him seem blind to. He is running as the guy who isn`t scary to those in the middle. He tried the same thing in Massachusetts against Kennedy and failed miserably; then he was trying to show he`s really kinda liberal, now he`s trying to pose as someone who`s KINDA but not really conservative.
The primary season is for exactly what has been going on. I don`t dislike Perry as some do, but my logline is sincere--there isn`t a candidate running now who doesn`t have major problems, and bringing up uncomfortable positions and history isn`t a bad thing. At the very least, we get to see how these people hold up under fire.

"Why on Kolob, would the MSM attack me?
I represent THEM. And their backers Soros and the Saudis."
You have deliberately misled people into the notion that Cain isn't pro-life. The reality is simply that he is not an inveterate liar, like most politicians, who will promise what they cannot deliver.
Cain, in fact, promised to uphold three of the four planks in the pledge. He deferred on the fourth, explaining that he would not have, as president, authority to pass such a bill, correctly noting that requires Congress.
Now, I know it's trendy for politicians to promise to deliver Congressional votes, but it's not reasonable. Cain showed himself to be a man of principle, at once standing up for the Right to Life, and fighting to change a culture where deception and empty promises are the par for the course.
What's sad is that Bachmann, Santorum, Pawlenty, Gingrich, et al, probably intended no deceit at all by signing the pledge. It probably never even occurred to them that "I'd earnestly fight to" and "I pledge to" are two different phrases.
side note: this pledge issue is a good reason to oppose Romney; his refusal was political, not wshing to defund hospitals which commit abortion. I say, let them know that by killing babies, they are choosing to decline public funds.
They did the same with McCain. Remember when he was the media darling. They could find nothing wrong with him, they highlighted him in interviews, they gave him favorable press, they did say “some” negative things but they were so minor. And then he got the nomination! And they beat the crap out of him and built up Obama at every turn. The same thing will happen with Romney. They have all the dirt, the artcles are written, and all they have to do is wait while the trial lawyers and teacher’s union flacks destroy Perry.
