People complain about Palin’s ‘whine’. Equal treatment!

People who keep calling Perry a “RINO” and no different from Romney and even “no different from Obama” just showing their own true colors — Dem/Obama enablers, or supporters.

There's a lot of ridiculous one upping on FR. It's like Pissant with his constant pimping of Duncan Hunter. Hunter was a great Representative and a solid guy, but his odds of getting elected to the presidency were 0.0 percent. Some people get off on showing how hard core they are, and demean anyone who tries to come up an actual workable solution. You wind up with talk like this:

"What, you don't support writing in Ronald Reagan? I don't care if he's dead or not. If we all write in his name, he'll come back to life and save us. If you were a real conservative and not a paid RINO troll you'd know that. It's better to write in the best candidate, even if that means that Stalin McHitler wins the election. There is not a dime's worth of difference between Governor GOPmann and Stalin McHitler."

That sort of thing. It's internet bravado, nothing more.

cair supports him. That leaves me out.

You could not be more incorrect and your dissemination of inaccurate information is quite distasteful. There are a few conservative American muslims who happen to be members of CAIR that have indicated support. The organization and PAC funds most definitely have not and will not. FYI: there are some conservative muslims who support Palin and Bachman as well, as there were Reagan. Support by a member of a group does not indicate support from the group itself.

I like cooking ants with a magnifying glass - I am a "member" of FR. Does that mean that FR supports cooking ants with a magnifying glass?

Grow up.

As a Texan, I wasn't really that excited about RP running for Governor. I did vote for him as there was no way I could support KBH or BW. I do not think America the way we know it can survive another 4 years of BHO. I was actually excited that RP announced! As others have stated, this is going to be the most important election of our lifetime!

There is more to it than one news story from one source.
I am not going to sit here all day and find the proof of what everyone is calling me a liar for. If you wish to think that, go for it. The proof is out there. I’m done. You all have minds of your own. I started out by saying I’M out. Every one of you know how to use a search engine. Do it, or don’t do it. If you like Rick Perry, fine. That doesn’t mean we can’t/don’t agree on other things of importance. It’s early. The primaries have not even started yet. I am not gonna fight with you or bang you over the head to do what I do or think how I think. Okay?
It’s just one more piece of information. And one that happens to be my personal monster in the closet.

She ceded her electability and lost alot of credibility when she quit her last real job ... she was doing a good job and it simply makes no sense why she quit

” I want him to sign a “no path to legal status for illegal aliens” pledge and that he will push for the Sensenbrenner Immigration Reform Bill. His record of giving in-state tuition for illegal aliens needs to be addressed as a mistake. “

The pledge from Perry wouldn’t be worth a warm bucket of spit

You are wrong, but don’t let that stop you from piling on. Go for it. That is the act of a real grown up. Uh huh. maybe you should check on how Rick Perry has helped advance islam in Texas.

You’ll vote for him because of the ‘R’ by his name, no other reason, except perhaps the hair and the mysterious overlapping parting on the right side (his.)

And maybe you should check what Obama has been doing.

Everything considered do you want Perry or Obama to win?

That is the bottom line.

Perry isn’t that bad even though I much prefer Bachman. At this point we ought to let the campaigns develop their themes and display their candidates’ campaigning skills. I’ll support just about anybody against Obamalini - except, perhaps, Romney.

LOL. Now that is just plain hysterical. Every time you have askd me a question, I have answered. Then when you get the answer you ASKED for, you insult me? I haven’t insulted any of you. This is ridiculous. And it is a shame.

Bachmann has zero chance of either becoming the GOP nominee, or beating Obama.

If Perry won’t catch fire, Romney will be the GOP nominee and will be beated by Obama.

Perry can beat Romney AND Obama.

It’s your perogative to do whatever you want. But you were deceptive and I’m going to call anyone on that. It’s your choice to be “irritated” over a joke comment. You must be perpetually “irritated” if that’s the case.

Good day.

I was NOT insulting you, merely stated the facts, that your attacks on Perry only help Obama and the choice is between the two. It is unfortunate that you can’t see that and take it as an insult, when someone points out the obvious to you. You seem to have blinded yourself to reality.
