I’m a Cain supporter and I agree.. let’s ALL stop the Perry and Cain bashing because it’s just going to destroy us just like Romney and Obama’s people want it too.. we are the dumbasses if we let that happen.. yeah Perry is a little weak on some things just as Cain has stepped on himself too but the facts are there has NEVER been a perfect candidate including Ronald Reagan who had passed pro abortion measures in California when he was governor and raised taxes let alone looked like a deer in headlights in some of his debates.... let’s tout our candidates and respectfully disagree when we disagree and try with all our might to not destroy ourselves and in doing so reelect Obama... Perry is coming out with his economic plan good for him I’m not going to slam it but I might have questions.. but has anyone tried to understand Romney’s behemoth?.. no that’s why it doesn’t get slammed nobody can understand it and he wants it that way.. we just slam Cain on his thoughtfully put out plan and then Perry’s plan will get slammed by the rabid Cain people and so it goes.. we kill each other and Romney rides above it all .. well he’s smarter than all of us then
Regarding Reagan. As governor of CA he was the one that pushed through the ban on open-carry of weapons which was the beginning of the end for the 2nd Amendment in California.
And when he was out of office, he supported the Brady Bill.
And don’t forget him going weak after the Marines got bombed in Lebanon.
Thank God that the internet wasn’t around when Reagan was - he never would have been elected/ reelected I don’t think.
I’m in the air between Cain and Perry.

If you check my posts and threads today and yesterday, I have been trying in earnest to 1.) post threads that help all conservatives and then also 2.) to post things that promote the candidate I personally like, Rick Perry (purposely looking for articles that primarily note JUST Rick Perry and not just a negative slant against another candidate as a whole... but in all of them, I’ve been trying to keep my first attention to being part of a larger conservative group here and a part of beating Romney and then Obama in November 2012.
We are going to need to deal with questions on issues. We need to somehow if we are to hold our politicians and candidates alike accountable to a conservative agenda. I’m not sure how the best way of doing that is, but I can tell you I’m trying to at least remember though it all that I’m a conservative first and no matter what one and all have that is not perfect, ALL our conservative candidates are worthy of respect and of the support of those conservatives who support them.
Thank you for your wisdom in the middle of it all.
Great Post! Amen!
