I know nothing about Perry. I haven’t watched or followed how he has governed Texas. As a primarily moral/social conservative I am willing to give him a look. I will not outright reject him. One of the nice things about being “undecided.”
I have noticed a disturbing trend here on FR. First, let me state that I would like to see Palin run because she brings excitment and zest to the race. However, on FR if anyone other than Palin is mentioned, a vast majority go out of their way to denigrate the candidate. It is an almost fanatical blindness to anything but Sarah. This is not rational thinking. Palin may be the best candidate, I honestly don’t have a set opinion. However, this thrashing of anyone except Palin is way over the top. On the reverse, I grow tried of the trashing of Palin by proponents of other candidates. There is an alarming lack of civility in the GOP.
Of course, I must accept my share of guilt. I am sincere when I say I will examine the candidate (once all declared) and support the one most morally/socially conservative. However, I WILL NOT bad mouth other real conservatives in the race. Ultimately, it is self defeating. Folks, we are NEVER going to get a candidate will all like 100%. I just want to avoid a candidate that most of us dislike 100% like Romney.
Well stated!
