....NOT Perry's image (policy ideas and polling numbers)....(how many times have you seen Perry in a cowboy hat?)
....going up against Obama's image (record and polling numbers)
......so they can win 4 more years and complete the destruction of the United States of America.
On the other are the more secular and moderate, open to government action to protect the environment and regulate business and more likely to have attended college.
Most of us know Romney's the establishment's pick. He's also the media's pick.
Two RINOs are hardly a “divide”.
On many issues, RomneyCARE and PerryCARE,
they are too close.
And the toughest question of the day:
Which of his two RINOs will Karl Rove choose?
****...the more secular and moderate, open to government action to protect the environment and regulate business and more likely to have attended college.....***
Where they have been brainwashed by the Marxist, progressive, socialist ‘educators’ aka ‘indoctrinators’.
If you love America - don’t let your kids become college clowns.........let them become cowboys!!!!
What this piece means is the Republicans are twice as good and twice as deep as the democrats.
The democrat divide is only Messiah deep and there is no good at all.
“Rick Perry and Mitt Romney showcase a Republican divide”
And communism solidly unites the democrats.
From the article
“The cultural differences, more notable for the scarcity of policy distinctions among the Republican candidates, mirror divisions within the GOP electorate and even its dominant conservatives. On one side are the hard-liners, many of them religious, who embrace the “tea party” movement’s hostility to Washington and are more likely to lack college educations. On the other are the more secular and moderate, open to government action to protect the environment and regulate business and more likely to have attended college.”
This has to be one of the laziest paragraphs I’ve ever read. If our author is quoting a poll he should cite it, if he’s actually trying to think and write he needs another 3 drafts. Otherwise just say the divide is between the neanderthals on the right and the smart people, almost like liberals, in the middle.
But it is interesting, last week Bachamnn was the religious maniac, this week it’s Perry. I think their heads will explode if Palin gets in.
Then again, some of our own heads might explode at that point!
I think the Romney bike ride idea is moronic. That is pure symbolism over substance. Don’t they get it? We’re sick of that stuff.
I’m not convinced yet. Perry still seems to be more of a crony capitalist than a conservative. Bush III would be almost as damaging to the country as Obama round 2.
Not quite the truth. It's swing voters we need to appeal to. This vastly huge group of Americans, largely apolitical, who vote because they feel it's their civic duty to do. They don't have deeply held political beliefs and don't really care to form any. When they step into the voting booth, they vote for the candidate they'd most like to have a beer with, the candidate they'd most like to have for a neighbor. For this group of voters, issues take a back seat to charisma and likability. This is the group of voters who decide elections. Every single time.
“On one side are the hard-liners, many of them religious, who embrace the “tea party” movement’s hostility to Washington and are more likely to lack college educations. On the other are the more secular and moderate, open to government action to protect the environment and regulate business and more likely to have attended college...”
Ah, smell the condescension of the MSM, everybody.
BTW, I’m willing to be the average Tea Partier is better informed about the realities of the day than Mr. West and most of his fellow hacks, er, I mean “writers.”
“That sale would be particularly hard among independent suburban women and other moderates in states outside the South and Southwest.”
Um.......That’s me... I’m an independent woman who lives in the suburbs in the very blue state of Massachusetts and Perry is my first choice.
So funny to watch the talking heads try and put us all in buckets. I don’t understand why the think someone as brash as Perry wouldn’t appeal to us northern women folk but Romney would. All we see in politics are the elites who think they know what’s best for us. I work with a lot of elites and I find they are usually the ones to screw things up at work. I think the biggest problems with elites is that they are strong on theory but weak on experience. They spend all of their time attending lectures, reading the NY times and hanging out with the champagne and art museum crowd that they become out of touch with the average American.
They just don’t get it.
such drivel!
Remember when poor minorities were called "culturally deprived"? The PC types have evidently turned that phrase upside down--much as they did our culture itself.
Wow, look at all the Perry derangement trolls on the boards backing up an article by the LASlimes! IT’S AMAZING! Supposedly conservatives toting this bucket of lies around and presenting it like the truth.
What do we need democratic propaganda and lies for when conservatives are doing their job for them!
1) Like it or not (and, as a Palin fan, I have to deal with a lot of things I don’t like), “Texas” will be made a HUGE negative in the campaign. The Bush disaster is what Obama and his handlers want to run against. Perry, fairly or unfairly, hands them this on a silver platter.
2) Perry and Romney are more alike than dissimilar. Both are running on the premise that a dying system can be revived, if only THEY are running it. Rather than agitating for “hope and change”, they are trying to assure conservatives that it all can work, when it can’t.
3) This election will be more like 1860 than anything else. The old ways are dying and cannot be preserved. Perry’s appeal to conservatives is an illusion - we will either move towards a global citizenship and a global currency, or smash globalism once and for all and restore the American economy and real, constitutional money. I have no doubt that Perry is a globalist, until he convinces me otherwise.

On one side are the hard-liners, many of them religious, who embrace the "tea party" movement's hostility to Washington and are more likely to lack college educations.
On the other are the more secular and moderate, open to government action to protect the environment and regulate business and more likely to have attended college.
What?!?
Exsqueeze me 'mr' West but I am personally offended by that snide, elitist remark. It is downright insulting to millions of Americans who never set foot on a college campus -- like me, you self-centered close-minded asshat.
And not going to college wasn't due to any low test scores 'mr' BONEHEAD. It was mostly due to other priorities: like not having the funds, or having to find a JOB after HS to support your family (mother and/or siblings), or join the military and fight for your country (there was this war thingy called Vietnam and the enemy was Communism).
Additionally 'mr' West of the 'Washington Bureau' (you must be very impotent to get that job) I didn't NEED to go to college. Everything I needed to learn in Mechanical Engineering I learned by MYSELF. And I was told by Licensed, Registered, Professional Engineers, that I SHOULD gave taken the 'PE Test'. As to them I WAS an Engineer, I just lacked a piece of stinking PAPER! Oh, speaking of 'college papers' you wouldn't have happened to see any from that guy sitting in the Oval Office, now would you ..... nah ..... I didn't think so.
In conclusion 'mr' West of the 'Washington Bureau', take your college attending 'moderates' and stick them up your as patoot -- sideways.
Quote from the article ... “I don’t think the women in the Midwest, women in the West, necessarily bring to the election decision a favorable attitude toward Texas men,” Hill said. “I don’t think a lot of them are saying, ‘I hope a rancher comes into my life.’”
I’d have to disagree as a Midwestern woman. Which one sounds like he or she could run a farm (hard-working, diligent, decisive, sensible ...) then go from there.
My answer would probably be Palin :-)but Perry has declared so definitely interested. My FIL says Cain is the man because only the good guys are named Herman.
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.
Neither of those posers matter after September 3rd.
disinformation for the californicate.
