Sorry. Let me clarify. I meant that Perry would not be my vote for the Republican nomination. Of course I would vote for any of them if and when one were running against O' blabby.

It's unfortunate that we are routinely placed in the position of having to select the lessor of two evils. On the one hand, voting for anyone other than Obama eliminates the worst possible immediate threat. I agree that even Elmer Fudd would be a better choice. On the other hand, a willingness to vote for the lessor of two evils sends the message to the RNC and media that it can push very centrist, moderate RINOs and win independents and a few blue dog Democrats while still holding onto he votes of core conservatives. This is a dangerous message to send, Joe. I held my nose many times and voted for the lessor of two evils just to keep a stinking Democrap out of office, but I came to feel used and betrayed by the RNC after it was virtually taken over by RINOs, so I stopped automatically voting for all "R" candidates in 2008. As conservatives, we cannot allow RINOs like McCain, Pawlenty, Gingrich, Huckabee, Perry, and Romney to control the RNC. As compromising moderates and/or closet liberals, they have no business being in the Republican Party to begin with. Even Ron Paul's social views are deplorable. Although I like and admire his fiscal views, I certainly would not vote for him for POTUS. Although Michele Bachmann may not be the perfect, ideal candidate -- and no one is -- she is still the best conservative in the field of Republicans, in terms of her social and fiscal views. Aside from her, I am strongly considering Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party, whom I voted from in 2008 after Juan McShame won the nomination. I'm still scratching my head and wondering how he pulled that off, but deep down I know that he was the media's hand-picked fall guy on the Right! -ng- The mass media has more say in who is nominated than most people realize. As a wise man once told me, "The media cannot tell us what to think, but it certainly tells us what to think about."
