Are you suggesting that no one should have challenged Perry? That by challenging Perry on a couple of issues it is the fault of conservatives that he is getting his ass handed to him in debates? Is that your position?

No. What I am saying is that we should have gotten rid of Romney as our first priority.

Nobody has laid a finger on Romney (well, Perry tried in his bumbling way) so far in this primary.

The attacks on Romneycare should be 1000% harsher than the attacks on HPV or illegal immigration.

Romney will not repeal Obamacare....and THAT should be our #1 priority!!!

If we fail to repeal Obamacare, it is game-over.

We are destroying the more-conservative candidates before destroying the clear RINOs. Romney and Huntsman should be the focus of our attacks first.

We are repeating what happened in 2008.

We can’t “get rid” of romney until there is a primary election or two. The establishment is going to continue to support him until it becomes obvious that he won’t win the nomination.
We aren’t “destroying” anyone. Perry’s “bumbling” as you put it is his fault. No one elses. Bachmann’s problems are also self imposed.

A president can't repeal Obamacare. The Congress will have to pass legislation for there to be a full repeal of Obamacare, then the president would have to sign it.

So the question for Republican candidates is: would they sign a bill to repeal Obamacare?

The real fight to repeal Obamacare is in electing more Republicans to Congress and especially the Senate. Things can probably be done by a president or Congress to cripple or slow down Obamacare, but the only way for a full repeal is a bill from Congress that is signed by the president.

And, as a symbolic gesture, the new House did pass a bill to repeal Obamacare earlier this year. Of course, it went nowhere in the Senate.

exactly! I fear there are Americans that watrched the debate that believe Romeny when he said on day one of his presidency he weill repeal Obamacare by executive order. Romeny is pretending to be a conservative on stage but his liberal roots will start to show. I think he will self imploded eventually before Nov. 2012 but I want to see the true conservatives fillet him like a sturgeon and label him as a RINO.

Huntsman? Who's that?

Yup, Romney is a RINO threat. Huntsman is a nobody that will never poll above single digits. Not worth the ammo.
