Here we go again... anyone but a Democrat”, even if that means voting for a sack of horse crap (not NECESSARILY calling Perry names...though if the shoe fits...).
Those so-called “electable” Republicans will be very little better than another 4 years of king Obummer... It is those same RINOs that have “helped” carry this country into the toilet on so many levels.
Sometimes, the ONLY option is revolution - a radical change in course brought about by radical means (And NO WAY am I pushing Ron Two-Faced, earmarks-happy Paul!).
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing you have always done, expecting different results.
And as far as the 2008 election - by 1/4 through the primary season, the press had already chosen the Republican loser...I mean candidate. There were no “good conservative candidates” from that point. The primary still had plenty of votes left had there been a good candidate... there wasn’t one (though McCain was probably one of the worst of the last few that were in the race).
Mythbusters featured the “polish on a turd” myth a couple of seasons back... pretty tough to do.
Perry is NO RINO, your declaring him as such doesn't make it so.
Texas has created more jobs than all the other 56 states (channeling Obama) put together.
