In a nutshell: if Romney wins, Tea Party goals are toast. Perry is best hope for winning and fulfilling Tea Party aspirations. But make no mistake, this guy hates Perry. The last sentence of his article: The rest of us are left to recall the advice handed down 10 years ago by the late, wisecracking Cassandra of Texas politics, Molly Ivins: Next time I tell you someone from Texas should not be president of the United States, please pay attention.

The Tea Party seems to be over. Guess they reverted to the silent majority.

The Tea Party is just getting started. This Tea Party Republican is happy with Cain.

Its hard to impress a movement that only knows what it is against. Gotta hand it to Keller - he is certainly unafraid to reveal his utter cluelessness to the entire world.
Keller knows nothing, and he's proud of it.

"Its hard to impress a movement that only knows what it is against." Idiot leftist can't comprehend the concept of liberty. We're for constitutionally limited government.

Its not what I am against that does not interest me, its that they are not against what I am against or for what I am for. They are... politicians, wanting to be promoted to the Great Gravy Train Washington DC.
The only one that interests me at all is Cain, and there is plenty of time to get excited.
I want an AMERICAN in office. Not some Eurocrap or Marxist, or Muzzi. I want an American, from America that understands the difference between America and Europe, Asia/Russia or the MiddleEast.
You know, one Nation under God stuff.

I'm less than impressed with polling data at this point - Gingrich is still polling at 8%, and I didn't even realize he was still in the race (mmm, federal election laws that permit the withdraw of campaign funds equal to the salary of the office being sought...) Supposedly it's Romney/Cain/Perry at this moment in time, with Romney enjoying at least a Bachmann sized lead. How will it look like on the other side of November? Probably pretty similar, with Romney holding around 20%, and two other names following him.
Personally, I think the NY Times is doing what it normally does, trying to make lemonade out of a bad situation.. Make it between Romney and Perry, and send vile towards Perry, and the Republicans will be good boys and girls and gather to defend him, thus making that Cain guy go away.

Did Molly (Barfly) Ives say that? Usually Florence King had to say it first...

This Tea Party republican is happy with Herman Cain.
I am no longer allowing anyone, particularly media to suggest to me whom I should support.
The last thing America needs is another round of the same old sh!t.

Gee, we're supposed to take advice from the
New York Slimes on their choice for the nominee?
In one corner, with great hair is the former governor of Massachusetts who helped pass the state model for ObamaCare.
In the other corner, the challenger, also with great hair is the current governor of Texas who would like to bankrupt the country even faster with amnesty for tens of millions of new socialist voting citizens.
That's just what the Perrywinkles tell us our choices are down to so we have to vote for their guy. No thanks.

Limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, free market solutions, honest government to name a few.
At least they all lean in a similar direction unlike the psycho left.
They want everything from rights for animals to pedophile marriage and free housing. Basically they’re both nuts and stupid.

The cool thing about the Tea Party is it WAS REAL. Liberals can’t pull that off - even their protesters are paid shills... There’s an ad on Craig’s List offering to pay up to $650 a week for “Occupy” protesters.

I saw Herman Cain on televison today--interviewed by some woman--didn't get her name. His IQ is at least three times hers. He is impressive. She looked like a fool.I'm sure she was just having a bad day.
Cain is dynamite!
He's the next President of the U.S.A.

Abiding by the constitution automatically gives us limited government, lower taxes, less regulation, free market solutions, honest government (if we impeach/remove the crooks), and individual liberty!
The constitution was designed to allow us to do all of that. We have failed to hold their feet to the fire.
