There's a world of difference between admitting a mistake, and caving to the PC Police because you called a spade a spade!
To: Nachum
I can’t wait for Rick Perry to take a whack at the EPA and Lisa Jackson who runs the EPA. She is our #1 eco-saboteur. The EPA has been fighting with Texas for a few years on oil refinery regulation. Rick Perry had better be bearing a grudge on that.

Interesting tactic. A shot across the bow of Benny and the Pretenders, dont even think about playing politics now. QE3 has to go stealth. Re-write for Bennies Jackson A-hole speech on August 26

McCain had plenty of baggage and he won last time.

Being from Texas you know better than me. I’d love to see the EPA cut down to size and then some more.

LOL. "Smoke screen" describes Perry's campaign to a 'T'.
No apologies? Really? How Orwellian. I guess Perry must not need to apologize personally for his record, because his apologists run around doing it for him 24/7.
To: Huck
"McCain had plenty of baggage and he won last time."
Yeah. Remind us how that whole RINO thing is working out for President Juan McCain. The GOP still thinks it can win elections without appealing to its' own base for votes?
To: CowboyJay
Whatever...Jack Wheeler says Perry will be the next President of the USA...I’ll trust Jack Wheeler over any of these anti-Perry haters.

The GOP isn't a thing. It's all the primary voters, and all the donors. They don't think one thing, and in the end, the primaries will sort it out.
I'm just saying that it's stupid to think a RINO won't be the nominee, when just a few years ago the GOP primary voters chose McCain. For me, that means no messing around with quixotic, boutique candidates.

Whatever. Anyone who whips out the hater card knows they have already lost the debate. Tell us all how electable Perry is the minute he starts crawling out of single-digit territory in any state outside the old confederacy.
To: CowboyJay
Tell us all how electable Perry is the minute he starts crawling out of single-digit territory in any state outside the old confederacy. Well, lucky day for you! Just yesterday there was a poll showing Perry picking up 20% in Colorado; there was a Rasmussen poll showing Perry with 29% in the Republican primary race on a national level; and there was also a poll showing Perry at 47% in Ohio in a matchup against Obama. Since he just announced on Saturday, that sounds like a pretty good start.
To: Huck
The GOP is a ‘thing’ when discussing the RNC, the major lobbies, and the establishment talking heads.
We should all pick a RINO to line up behind because that’s all we’re going to get?
“All youze teabaggers better listen up now, and do as you’re told!”
Eerily similar to all the Rudybots, Romneybots, and McCainiacs last go-round. How well do you feel the strategy employed last time by the major power-brokers of throwing all their weight behind candidates who are completely unacceptable to about a quarter of their own party worked-out?
To: CowboyJay
We all get one vote. Then they’re counted.

Anyway, who was the correct choice in 2008?

Ohioans haven’t gotten to know Perry yet. Once they peg him as an OBL front man, he’ll be lucky to match McCains numbers there.

Ohioans havent gotten to know Perry yet. Once they peg him as an OBL front man, hell be lucky to match McCains numbers there. Or else they will like what they see, and he will continue going higher in the polls. We will have to wait to see which way it goes.
To: Huck
"Anyway, who was the correct choice in 2008?"
I don't know who the 'correct' choice was, but Thompson and Hunter would have been preferable to me. Does the RNC really think they can beat Obama by running an even bigger OBL shill after watching McCain get carried out on a stretcher? That doesn't strike anyone else as meeting the definition of insanity?
