I believe the only candidate that would likely pulverize the Obama regime would be Perry. Apparently, I'm not alone in this sentiment.

Don't mess with Texas.

Well, that's a hit against him right there.

It indicates the he can't get a writing job with an organization that pays him.

Otherwise, I'm not opposed to Perry.

Just not going to listen to any flatulent unemployed "blogger".

That mandatory vaccine should really make people think twice about this guy. What is different with Perry forcing vaccines on young girls and Obama forcing insurance on everyone? I want smaller (keep out of our business) Presidents. God only knows what Governor Perry would demand if he was President.

This Texan will not vote for him under any circumstance! I sincerely hope the pubbies aren’t stupid enough to have him as their candidate. He’s just another entrenched RINO on many fronts.

They keep throwing this out there. It hasn’t stuck yet. Hopefully it won’t.

Can you list the vaccines that are currently required for children in order to enter school?

Which of them did you object to?

That is so different. Of course it is and you know that. Were you for the mandatory vaccine when he mentioned it or are you just having a revisionist history like many others here?

As a Texan that has voted for him every time he's run I have to say -

NO

The problem for conservatives is singular - communication.

That was the brilliance of Ronald Reagan. When they stuck a microphone in his face and tried to catch him off-guard (which the liberal press will always try to do to conservatives) he'd cock his head slightly to the side, speak plainly, directly, and straight to the heart of the matter. I don't believe he was any great theorist or intellectual - he was a great communicator.

Perry is generally on the right side of issues, and he's pulled the hard button when he needed to. But when the unscripted microphone gets shoved in his face, he frequently stammers and loses the point the GWB did.

He's a great governor. He'd be massacred on the national stage.

If it's between Perry and Romney (which it will be0, you will vote for Perry.

I don’t think we’ll get a choice between Perry and Romney, will we?

Or between Perry and Barky. I even voted McCain to try to keep Barky out.

That is so different.

Different from other vaccines how exactly? Can you list all of them?

Were you outraged when they were first required?

are you just having a revisionist history

Please explain what I'm attempting to revise, as regards history.

Kids have to get vaccinated. Why is one vaccine bad and all the rest good?

Memory not quite as sharp as I would like. This one, I believe, apparently would keep young girls from getting cervical cancer. I think part of the underlying problem was that it assumed all young girls are sexually active. I do believe we have the highest teen pregnancy rate in the U.S. so some of this was “if that be true, then...” Parents became up in arms about the issue and Perry retracted his order - so he does listen to public opinion on occasion. Of course in this instance the really big winner was the drug company that manufactured the vaccine.

No...no...NO. He’s a RINO... The only thing that keeps him in line are the multitude of conservatives kicking and screaming at him....
