Absolutely!
Rick Perry looks like Bush III to me. Makes my stomach turn.
Rick Perry is just like Bush only w/o the brains.

My personal favorites are:
1) Bachmann
2) Cain
3) perry
Cannot get excited about Gingrich or Santorum.
“No one, Jim. I’m sick. There is absolutely zero chance that Cain can overcome Romney’s riches. Sorry, Bob”
I disagree Palin campaign would have been run against crony capitalism and the big donors buying access. She was going to rely on a million + small donations.
The small Palin donors (the FREEPERS) can become the small donor army for H Cain.
Cain.
Consvative, tea party sensibilities, eliminates the race card, looks presidential.
No way Romney will beat Obama !
Cain Train will sweep the states clean !
Right now Herman Cain is number one on my list. I think he has improved a lot in the short time he’s been running, and he seems to respect the fact that he needs to listen to and take some direction from the electorate. He keeps making mistakes (nobody’s perfect) but recovers from them pretty well. I worry that there are too many areas of policy about which he knows too little, and that this will be a weakness in his candidacy. (I trust him to surround himself with good people and effectively lead the team and make good decisions as President, but he is vulnerable to “gotcha” questions as a candidate.) He is well-spoken and likeable and I trust him pretty well. Not bad.
Rick Perry is my number two (and was formerly my number one of the declared candidates). I, like most FReepers, have problems with some of his positions and actions as Governor. When he performed poorly in the first debate I wasn’t too worried. When he failed to improve in the second, I started to worry. When he tanked the third debate I went back to looking at the other candidates. If the guy can’t figure out how to stop blowing the answers to the same three obvious questions over and over then there is something wrong with him. Now he’s kind of hiding from the media. At some point soon he’s going to have to step up to the plate and face the big-league pitching. Nobody gets a pass in the primaries because the ‘Rats are masters at generating category 5 shit-storms and whoever we nominate had better be ready. As of today, Perry is not.
I have wanted to like Michele Bachmann and have given her a chance but she has failed to develop into a strong candidate. She is a distant third place for me.
None of the other conservatives seem viable to me, and Romney, Paul, and Huntsman are out on ideological grounds.
At this point my primary vote is Cain’s to lose, but I am also trying to dissuade FReepers from trashing Perry too much just in case we wind up nominating him for some reason.
Cain is Able !
really
I forgot: He’s anti-EPA and anti-DOE. He has a long list of pluses.
If Cain can go a month without revealing the kinds of worrisome weaknesses Perry and Bachmann have, he’s the solid choice.
His test will be when all the arrow are flying at him at the next few “debates.”
I like Cain and Bachmann.
Perry gives off a televangelist vibe. Im not too comfortable with him but would support him as enthusiastically as I did Bush if he get the nomination.
And her VP should be CAIN. Ideal ticket is Palin/Cain"
This has been my choice from the beginning. If Sarah changes her mind - it is still my choice.
Short of that happening, I'll be a Cain supporter & pray that he will pick a REAL CONSERVATIVE VP & CABINET.
The rest of the list is a turn-off for me. I am never pulling the lever & holding my nose to vote for a semi-rino or establishment candidate again. I will write someone in.
I forgot another one, lol: He’s tough on trial lawyers. They hate him.
Move on Jim and rally the troops towards Cain. Sarah discussions ended tonight. She now is a talking point.....period.
Absolutely!

Rick Perry is just like Bush only w/o the brains.
Oh, and one more important one: He hates and promised to repeal Obamcare.
Perry
Bachmann
Really? Have any proof?
I don’t think you could get on the Mi ballot that late either. The field is perry much set now.IMO
Those two alone should be reason enough to vote for him.
The EPA is a jobs and energy self-sufficiency killing monstrosity, and the DoE is literally single-handedly responsible for the dumbing down of American education.
I'll vote for anyone who convinces me they'll eliminate these two Government Bureacracy hell-holes.
