Bachmann is the strongest on the subject. She has a B- from Numbers USA. Perry has a D-.

I doubt that Perry can be nominated given his record. So unless another conservative gets into the race Bachmann is th best hope.

Like Mark Levin said tonight, we don’t need someone who is going to slow things down. We need someone who is going to reverse them.

Carter, Clinton and Bush governed states. Bush governed Texas for eight years. Look what they got us. Until Obama, Bush was the biggest spender since LBJ. He also increased the size and intrusiveness of government. Bush was the most liberal Republican president since Hoover.

Yet, before he was nominated there were people who insisted he was a conservative. They refused to listen to us here in Texas who are active and knew better.

Now, if Jim DeMint jumps in I’ll close my business and work full time to get him nominated and elected.

But given the field as it now stands Bachmann is the best choice by far.

Bachmann just messed up the other day by asking the crowd to celebrate Elvis’ birthday. The crowd remained silently stunned, because it was the date of his death!

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Republican Primary voters, taken Monday night August 13], finds Perry with 29% support. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who ran unsuccessfully for the GOP presidential nomination in 2008, earns 18% of the vote, while Bachmann, the Minnesota congresswoman who won the high-profile Ames Straw Poll in Iowa on Saturday, picks up 13%.

Texas Congressman Ron Paul, who was a close second to Bachmann on Saturday, has the support of nine percent (9%) of Likely Primary Voters, followed by Georgia businessman Herman Cain at six percent (6%) and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich with five percent (5%). Rick Santorum, former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania, and ex-Utah Governor Jon Huntsman each get one percent (1%) support, while Michigan Congressman Thaddeus McCotter comes in statistically at zero.

Texas did fine under Bush, it was the wars that ate up the money. The information given to Bush that Iraq had WMDs, that every top democrat politician also believed at the time.
