Stuff your crap about “executive experience.” What has electing governors with “elective experience”—like Carter, Clinton, and Bush—gotten us? The President does not micromanage the nation, at least in the conservative view (you are a conservative, aren’t you?). He/she merely sets the overall course. We need someone who has the right principles and is honest. We do not need someone who has spent his entire life running for and holding elective office, by pandering to every special interest in his state, including the nation’s mortal enemies, La Raza and CAIR.
I’m a Palin backer—not a fan of Rick Perry at all. In fact, I think I’d back Bachmann, Cain, heck, even Romney or Gingrich, ahead of Perry at this point.
And if I’m that turned off to Perry, I imagine more voters will be too—once they actually get to know him.
But sorry, executive experience matters more now than ever. Sure, I’m not for a liberal with executive experience (or a Marxist without executive experience, while we’re at it), but I want to know that an incoming president knows how to deal with the executive side of government (and is suited to doing so) in relationship with the legislature, etc..
