Delete my account. You sir are an utter fool. You can vote for whomever you want, but you don’t dictate who I will vote for or support. It’s too bad the Palinistas blamed Perry for Palin not running. Maybe if you all would have been slightly rational you would have realized that Perry had the best record and was closest in ideology as Palin. Perry isn’t perfect but he has experience, proven leadership and bonafides as an uncompromising fiscal and social conservative.
Have fun backing a loser. Newt will not be able to defeat the dems. They blame him for impeachment while getting blow jobs at the same time with that two bit whore of a tramp he is now married to.
Not only that, Newt’s as big a progressive as Romney and 0bama!
Exactamundo, Jim.
Reagan, are you kidding? Between Iran-Contra, pulling the Marines out of Lebanon, raising the debt ceiling, granting amnesty to illegal aliens, that gaffe about bombing the Russians, his “zany” Star Wars defense program, his divorce, his second wife Nancy’s astrology, and that old Bedtime for Bonzo footage you just KNOW the Dems are gonna trot out, the man’s clearly got too much baggage to get elected. What we need to do is incubate a test tube baby and raise him in a bubble until age 35 so that he never leaves the house, gets a job or speaks to anyone. Then we’ll have the perfect baggage-free candidate ready to go in 2048. /sarcasm
Failure to coalesce didn’t work very well last time.
We had RudyMcRomney vs the Huckster, Hunter, Thompson and Keyes, oh yeah, and “Republican” Ron Paul. We couldn’t coalesce around a conservative so one by one they dropped out leaving it to a race between RINOs McCain and Romney with the Huckster and “Republican” Ron Paul bringing up the rear to the bitter end.
Hunter dropped out on Jan 19.
Thompson entered late, fizzled and dropped out Jan 22.
RINO Rudy dropped out on Jan 29 after getting third in Florida.
Loser RINO Romney dropped out and endorsed RINO McLame on Feb 7.
RINO Huckabee held on until March 4 then dropped out and endorsed RINO McLame.
Keyes finished 4th in North Carolina and officially dropped out of the race and the Republican party on April 15.
“Republican” Ron Paul withdrew on June 12 and endorsed a third party candidate. Unfortunately, he did not drop out of the Republican party.
Loser RINO McLame got it by default.
He must be over the target because he's sure taking flak right and left....
..and most of you here are determined to neutralize him.
This silliness about his wife is the imaginings of lowdown, scummy, vile sewer rats! .
It may be coming from Britain but it has Soros fingerprints all over it.
I am angered beyond words.
Right as rain.
Newt/Santorum would be the ticket to beat. Perry needs to do what’s right. He’s an admirable man and I have faith he’ll do what a good soldier should.
Sorry retread ... not interested in what your shoveling.
I’m not dictating anything. Just stating my opinion like everyone else.
Rick Santorum is the best choice. In some ways, he reminds me of Jimmy Stewart in “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.”
“Surely Perry knows it is time to step out TODAY..”
Really? Perry is the only candidate who invoked the ire of leftist trial lawyers and DC federal bureaucrat fascists.
Why do you suppose that is?
Not trying to be confrontational, but Perry is hated by federal fascists, leftist lawyers and judges.
What’s wrong with that?
Seems to me that those qualifications are a plus to consider.
Santorum sure as hell can’t claim the same. Gingrich probably can.
Now that’s what I call Cajun spice...
Funny, I have yet to meet one progressive who thinks Newt is anything close to a progressive. That’s sort of like calling Bill Clinton a conservative.
You state the case very well. In addition, Rick Santorum has a clean background and an ernest personality that will strike the right note with the American people.
He’s my 3rd and final choice in this election I’ll still be voting in the primary but only to remove Debbie Stabenow.
Thank you, Jim.
I would be delighted if he decided to endorse me, he told reporters here after being asked if Mr. Santorum should drop out. Im respectful that Rick has every right to run as long as he feels thats what he should do. But from the standpoint of the conservative movement, consolidating into a Gingrich candidacy would, in fact, virtually guarantee victory on Saturday.
Santorum was really fired up on Hannity today about this.
AFIK, it is illegal to offer a position in return for an endorsement.
I certainly agree that it's time for Perry and probably Santorum to get out and endorse Newt.
The "establishment" thinks that Mitt is unstoppable, but they don't realize that the GOP base DOES NOT want Mitt. It can happen basically the same way the leftist base coalesced around Zero over Hillary four years ago.
They had a debate. Read Post 59.
Wouldn’t it make more sense for Santorum to get out? It’s his numbers Newt needs. Perry’s numbers still keep Mitt in the lead. And I feel Perry is a better Plan B if something goes terribly wrong.
Serious question (maybe stupid question) - how to get rid of Paul? Who considers him a Republican? Why is he there? It’s like those children’s puzzles - “which one does not belong?”.
