All the love affairs here are a little baffling.
First we loved Sarah Palin (guilty here) and, to our complete surprise, she opted not to run.
I was saved from the Cain train because my governor had announced and I like him.
But then there was the Cain love affair. Some really fine people on here loved Cain and he let them down.
Then there is this unaccountable switch to Newt.
I like Newt. He’s glib, fun and full of ideas. But he is not consistent and he’s much better at running than he would be as governing.
I don’t know why conservatives are so quick to excuse his quixotic actions and semi-sordid past. I mean, I would because people can repent and change.
I don’t see the change.
But, of course, I’ll take him over Mitt and over Obama.
But not with love.
The whole Cain/Gingrich kissy face thing turned my stomach.
I like Perry, but I don't love the guy. I'm quite aware that he can let me down and that I may very well be wrong that he's the best candidate.
What I don't get is why people hate him.
Catching up here, or at least trying to ; } and in agreement with your post.
Sarah has been awesome from the get go, but I was always conflicted about her running. I would vacillate between being confident that there was no more damage the StateRunMedia could do to her, and worrying that they didn’t need to, because the so many of the sheeple still actually BELIEVED the meme from 2008!
Herman. Well. I often said that there were things I liked about Herman, and things I didn’t, but what I liked best was the fear that his successes instilled in BOTH the Left and in the Establishment Right. So I sent him $, and stuck solidly with him right up until the minute he admitted that his wife of forty years, knew nothing of his paying some woman,(that she also did not know), for thirteen years... Herman, Herman, Herman. A crying shame, for your family and for the nation. I pray for the healing of your marriage and your family, and that God is indeed, guiding our course.
Perry is next up on my list, and while I do have some serious hesitations, I understand and agree with the “No Perfect Candidate” school of thought.
Newt. As much as I respect and appreciate his knowledge of history, and do so thoroughly enjoy his skewering the Media ;} I just have one heck of a time believing him after so many policy switcheroos and the unbelievable Dede Scozzafava debacle : /
As for the rest, Paul is sharp on domestic, but absolutely terrifying on foreign policy and it seems that for any number of reasons, Bachmann and Santorum are just not catching fire. And neither is Huntsman,(Thank You Lord ;).
TinyPrintDisclaimerTime - All that being said, I think the bumper sticker that we need says, “Anybody but O, and Ro!”, LOL.
May God guide our course.
