Rasmussen has Perry killing Romney, Bachmann

[Parker2112]

Oh, I think there would be some clear differences in appointments and executive orders to departments like Justice and the EPA.

A conservative that is concerned about appointments and executive rather than trimming the size/scope of the federal govt altogether. CC is a RINO.

[CosmicCowboy]

So what has really changed in those departments the past couple of years?

I really thought you were better informed, Chump. Is a stranger logged on to your account?

[ChumpDumper]

Are you stalling?

[CosmicCowboy]

Are you kidding? ERIC HOLDER? NLRB suing Boeing over opening a non union plant? Implementing EPA CO2 controls by executive order after they were rejected by congress? Drilling moratoriums AFTER ordered stopped by a federal judge? I could go on and on. You REALLY think there is no difference?

Since you put it that way, not really. Just a little pandering to a different interest group.

Thanks for convincing me there will really be no substantial difference between Obama and Perry.

If you don't think there is any difference why do you hang out in a political forum? It's pointless, right?

It's not like hanging out in a political forum ever accomplishes anything regardless

One benefit is that interfacing with boutons makes me feel sane and normal.

Perry is a backwoods hick. Sadly, so is most of Texas.

Are you really that stupid, or are you just pretending?

[JoeChalupa]

Perry's mouth may cost him in the long run. Even some republicans are coming and saying he is sounding unpresidential with his attacks against Obama's love of America and the military not respecting him. BS, when you are in the service, unless you are an ass, you always show respect for the Commander in Chief.

Yeah the loser McCain types who would prefer a ty polite campaign that ends in a loss. Perry will go as negative as he needs to in order to turn out the rabid base and win the primary, they need to get used to it.

This. If Perry was willing to go scorched earth on Kay Bailey Hutchison he sure as isn't going to do anything less against Obama. Or any of his republican primary challengers.

Yeah, you know his prayer conference and all is directed at Romney and his Mormon faith.

It just doesn't work in the national stage though. He's needs to cater to independents (read: middle) and/or democrats. His base already supports him.

This is always the line from the left yet it never proves true. List the modern GOP presidential candidates and show the moderate ones that won and the far right ones that lost.

I'm talking about the rhetoric, not what they end up doing once they get there.

No better example than Barry, who ran on a left/moderate platform and ended up on the absolute far right.

It's always true that independents decide the elections. Much to the left and right chagrin.

[Crookshanks]

The left always says the republicans need to be nicer and cater to independents - that's a recipe for failure; and frankly, conservatives are sick and tired of it! I want a strong republican candidate - one who isn't afraid to stand tough and tell it like it is. I want them to attack, attack, attack Obama - and I want them to be merciless when it comes to pointing out Obummer's failures.

Seriously - this country can't withstand another McCain-type candidate.

[JoeChalupa]

Bachman is toast and then today she wishes Elvis a Happy Birthday.

It's what wins elections though. Go fetch the stats for registered Dems and Republicans. Neither side has enough to win the election.

[Spurminator]

lol "tell it like it is."

You've got to be kidding, right? Obama is a far-right president? What kind of dope are you smokin?

And independents are just mushy, middle-of-the-road people who are too scared to take a stand one way or the other.

He'll cater to the independents by telling them he knows how to create jobs, and oh by the way Obama sucks. As for whether or not going negative works on the national stage, clearly it does. Ask John Kerry.

They take a stand when they vote.

Most normal people take sides on individual issues rather than align themselves with one party's philosophy on all issues. Then they vote for the candidate who more closely aligns with them on the issues they prioritize.

[coyotes_geek]

Yeah, you know his prayer conference and all is directed at Romney and his Mormon faith.

He knows who his compe ion is.
