Rick Perry is preparing himself to run for president

True dat.

If a candidate cannot hit 80% and the core issues of the platform, there is no point in forwarding him/supporting him.

When a candidate/potential candidate actively works against them they are the enemy every bit as much as an open liberal. And so is anyone supporting them. It’s simple math.

So none calling themselves a conservative would openly support Sneaker Chick Davis because she advocated killing children. Yet many of the very same people attacked us left right and sideways over Romney although his position on children was identical.

Identical.

No one calling themselves conservative would vote for Barry because he advocates amnesty (among other things). Yet many attack ‘purists’ because we refuse to bury the reality that Perry openly worked against the fence, provided special benefits to illegals and spoke to a racist group.

If I started speaking at Stormfront events, I have the feeling that I’d feel a warm blue tingle shortly thereafter. And I think that anyone that defended me would likewise.

So why is Perry immune from criticize? Answer? He isn’t. Nor are his defenders. Nor Romneys. And they will get it until I feel that tingle. Then another will simply pick up where I or any of us leave off.

We aren’t stopping.

Twice in as many days I have brought up the fact that Perry praised Hillary and both times the Perry faithful I directed my comments to refused to even acknowledge the point. They can't defend it so they ignore.

Perry cannot escape his liberal past. Moreover, with his recent praising of Hillary he's doubling down. The man does not deserve the Republican nomination and he damned well does not deserve to be president.

And likewise, his ‘supporters’, the people that may or may not be paid GOP plants, cannot escape theirs.

All they can do is create more dissent and stop us collectively from coalescing around an actual conservative that can hit that evil purist 80% mark.

Which, unfortunately, they have had no small success thusfar getting away with.
