Rick Perry is a Rino.

Sarah Palin is too polarizing and a terrible Mother.

Herman Cain is inexperienced.

I have a proposition. May I suggest that before we divide ourselves once again ask yourself how the candidate that you are crucifying would have handled or better yet, if the candidate would have proposed any of the anti-American, communistic, and downright hateful EO’s (that should be enough fodder for a good while) that this administration has wrought on us. Would he/she align with the Muslim Brotherhood? Would he/she abandon Israel? Would he/she put boots on the ground in Libya? Etc, etc, etc.....to the nth degree domestically.

I remember the “four years of Obama is better than a McCain Presidency” crowd and in fact I was among them. I was wrong and so were you.

Meanwhile, I am going down to my elderly neighbors house so they can teach me how to make a choat table ready so we can F***ing eat this spring.

As always, imho.

“Conservatives” like Perry are just like magicians, they wave their right hand to keep you from seeing what the left hand is doing. The RINOs are just yesterdays moderates who have to call themselves conservatives to win primaries. They will never be true conservatives because their heart isn’t in it.

Why should we keep settling for half a loaf when we could get the whole thing. These RINOs keep calling themselves conservatives to get elected and while they are in office they become conservative lite. They will throw us a bone now and them to keep us in their camp but they will never truly be on our side and when we are not watching they will be making deals with Democrats or big money interests.

The best strategy is to vote for the best candidate in the primaries and support this candidate with money donations. Vote for the best conservative in the primaries. Then if that candidate wins in the primaries, you can vote for him/her in the final elections. If your favorite does not win in the primaries, vote for the Republican even if he/she is a RINO. Even a RINO is better than a Soros/commie/leftist backstabber.

During the primaries go for the whole loaf of bread. If you cannot get the whole loaf, then settle for half a loaf in November. Do not settle for half a loaf first and then complain that there are no true conservatives in government. Do not be afraid of voting for a true conservative in the primaries because he or she cannot win. Look at what happened to Obama. He was an unknown but he won the presidency. Once someone wins the primaries, he/she will gain in stature just by being the winner of either the Democrat or Republican party. When a come-from-behind Republican wins the primaries, he/she will be the center of attention. People will start paying attention as it is the election season and they will become more educated about the conservative candidate. If a conservative believes strongly in their values and can articulate them in a simple powerful way, many Americans will be won over to their side. A real conservative CAN WIN!

Actually ... while I am a Palin fan ....I will take Bachmann - she is head and shoulders above Perry in a primary area - Bachmann is honest. Perry seems to lack that quality...

Concurring bump. That about says it in a nutshell.
