Perry Blew it, Romney leads, new gallop poll.

[Amelia]

62% is very strong, that's a landslide, even some dems are swinging his way like they did when they supported Reagan. Conservative dems, that is, not the left-wing nut cases on this board. Romney appeals to the fiscal conservative independents, they CONTROL elections. The democrats fear Romney first, as they know full well that the independent vote is swinging hard towards him.

As far as someone running a 3rd party, I can tell you with some certainty that Palin would come out and throw water on that. She loves her country first and foremost and would come out and strongly oppose that, after that, a 3rd party would not have much support as she carries some strong weight in that arena.

In 2008 Romney overwhelmingly carried my state in the straw poll and he is shaping up to do that again. We could not beleive that McCain won the nomination, it blew our minds, we are still scratching our heads about that one.

Huckabee was Romney's worst nightmare. If you think about it; Romney and McCain have a lot in common. Huckster was like an IED that would blow one way or the other. He hit Romney.

Anti-Mormon bias won over fiscal responsibility in the 2008 primaries.

Thank goodness Huck didn't get in the race this time around. I might have voted for Obama over Huckabee. I would have been very torn.

Candycorn loves Romney but hates Perry...and her views?

I would think that if we adopted Obama's plans, we'd be much better off than we are. He wanted to get rid of the Bush tax cuts but didn't have the votes to do it. So...we still have this incredible deficit.

You'd think the GOP would cop to the fact that the tax cuts haven't helped, they have hurt.

At the end of the day, we sent the Congress up there and we have a divided government that gets very little done. We get the Congress and the chaos we deserve. The markets are reflecting that.

Could you imagine if we were having to get into the Space Race these days? First there would be a section of the GOP that denies there is anything called "outer space". Next there would be people in the GOP who swear their plan would land us on every planet within the end of the year. Finally, there would be a bunch of myopic gym class morons called the Tea Party examining the Constitution to see where the framers mentioned space exploration.

Forget the Presidential election in 2012. The future of this country is in direct correlation to the number of Tea Party members sent to Congress. I would say if they double their numbers, we're probably looking at the end of the nation by 2020 if not sooner. Nothing will get through the Congress that these worms don't want to get through and, suffice to say, there will be no spending on anything other than today's bills.

The investments in the future will be done by other countries and they will own it.

WTG.

If I have to choose between the two, yeah, I would like the one who could likely put out a fire and not want to force a 12 year old girl to get a shot of a dangerous vaccine. I wouldn't say I love Romney but I do love the fact that he isn't likely to simply by fiat mandate that all 6th grade girls get a shot to remedy STDs. I have a bit more faith in the family than you do, comrade.

Anti Tea-Party, Obama supporting Liberals prefer Romney, thanks for clearing that up.

Economic grown up Romney versus economic screw up Obama.

This is Romney's race. He's the only one who will be able to defeat himself. I hope he doesn't. We can't afford any more Obama.

I think one thing is for sure; we won't see a meandering race like we saw in 08 to where 3 men won multiple states:

I think it will be over by the 3rd or 4th contest.

Economic grown up Romney versus economic screw up Obama.

This is Romney's race. He's the only one who will be able to defeat himself. I hope he doesn't. We can't afford any more Obama.

He's not about to defeat himself, he is practiced in tune and on time, he has had 4 years to get it together and if you take the time to read his job's plan it is awesome, it takes about 4 hours just to scan.

He is the ONLY candidate that addresses China, he wants to go back to a Reagan stance on trade. Free trade but Fair Trade. Keep in mind that Reagan created 20 million new jobs and Romney is following his lead and his policies on trade issues. We can't allow China to eat our lunch, steal our products and steal our jobs and expect growth and opportunity for our children and grandchildren.

According to you the "conservative" Perry doubled the state debt in Texas. So the fact that you want to have his love child means you are a liberal?

Romney is nothing like McCain. McCain is a career politician, no private sector business experience and certainly not fiscally conservative. Romney is all private sector business, little political except for 4 years as governor, HE has created thousands of private sector jobs, McCain never created one. No comparison there what-so-ever. I do see your point though, I would have never supported Huckabee, he is a nice guy, was a good governor, but he was too nice a guy and somehow I could not take him seriously.

The gop needs to learn that they can't put these idiot teapartiers up and let them try to fake their way their way through. They are saying now that Perry is Bush without the brain for god's sake..

More Voters Considering Romney Than Obama, Perry


Sixty-two percent would definitely vote for Romney or consider doing so
PRINCETON, NJ -- More registered voters say they would definitely vote for Mitt Romney or might consider doing so (62%) than say the same about his two main rivals in the 2012 presidential election, Democrat Barack Obama (54%) and Republican Rick Perry (53%).



Be pragmatic, vote and support the BEST CONSERVATIVE ( and here is the important part) who can WIN the general election. It's hand's down Mitt Romney.

The honeymoon is over for Rick Perry, just as it is for Obama.

Romney has a detailed job's plan that takes 4 hours just to scan, he supports Ryan's cut, cap and balance plan. He will repeal Obama care on day one if we win enough seats in the senate or he will issue a mandate for all states to stop implementation of Obama care on day one. He will repeal the Dodd/ Frank bill that has tied the hands of our lenders, stifling growth.

He has spent most of his life in the private sector and he HAS CREATED thousands of jobs.

He supports Reagan's stance on trade, he is a free trader but it has to be fair. Keep in mind that Reagan created 20 million new jobs and Romney is following his lead on this.

He has a dual degree from Harvard in Law and an MBA in BUSINESS.

And most importantly --- he is the candidate who will make Obama a one term President.

If electing a liberal is what this comes down too. Third party. Again.

A vote for the third party is a vote for Obama. That's as stupid as it is insane.

 

[WillowTree]

oh, great, a billionaire will represent ME! ha ha

and yeah...a BUSINESSMAN? Running the government as a business? awesome! hahahahaha!


no wonder our country is so screwed up. we DONT NEED BUSINESSMEN running our friggin country! our government IS NOT A BUSINESS!

Didn't you think Perry sounded very much the liberal when he said.. "if you don't agree to granting favors to illegals you don't have a heart." that blew it for me.

Then the GOP better damn well get it right with the nominee. I didnt vote for McCain and I wont vote for Romney.

 

[Sarah G]

If Romney is so strong in area of the economy...if his private business experience is such an asset, why couldn't he translate than into jobs when he was Governor of Massachusetts?

Texas under Perry created more jobs in two months than Massachusetts under Romney did in four years.

Massachusetts under Romney was 47th lowest in the country in job creation.

Only three states were worse.

While Texas under Perry created more jobs than the other 49 state COMBINED.

If Romney can create jobs in the private sector...that's what he should do to help the country, because he was a failure at leading Massachusetts to job growth as Governor.

Hate to break it to ya, but a ton of those "yobs" went to illegal criminal aliens.

I still like Perry, but his lack of teeth when it comes to border patrol drives me nuts!

Oh, you like your morons even more extreme?

If Perry won the nomination I could vote for him.

That said, I don't want him to win the nomination and don't think he will.

According to you the "conservative" Perry doubled the state debt in Texas. So the fact that you want to have his love child means you are a liberal?

Only doubled?

Wow, I'm impressed: He's been governor for more than a decade, there's been a 20% increase in the population of TX.

In the same period, the population of the USA grew 9%, but the US budget deficit grew from nothing to 1.29 Trillion (2010)

Very good question.

Reminds me of my puzzlement when Huckabee was being called a conservative. What about Huckabee was conservative - well, other than his religious fundamentalism?

Similar problem with Perry. I don't think most of Perry's supporters are evaluating him anywhere near objectively. I think mostly they don't like Romney and are so biased against him that they would even take someone like Sharron Angle over him if that's what it came down to.
