After hearing Ron Paul on Alex Jones today ...
my opinion is that there is no way he can win ...I am definitely backing Rick Perry from here on out ...
Paul's ideas and delivery are just too thin and lacking...
Ron Paul has some very interesting ideas, and I think we should take some of them into consideration. My only problem with Paul is that some of his ideas are too radical, and they have absolutely no chance in being implemented into law. Regardless about what he promises to change, Paul does not have enough push in Washington to get them passed.
Second, Rick Perry is a conundrum. Even though he will win the Republican nomination, Perry's past may come back and haunt the election. Perry once worked for Al Gore and the Democrats. He switched sides to win an election. Its a major conundrum. I do not know how that will affect his chances.
edit on 9/1/2011 by Section31 because: (no reason given)
When thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
The message is clear: if you claim to follow Jesus you ought to pray in secret, avoiding ostentatious displays of prayer intended to serve as a display of holier-than-thou pride before others. Most Christians seem either to be ignorant or to just not care about the message of these Biblical verses, contradicting the instructions of their own divine savior in order to satisfy their own egotistical religious identities.

This is so rude, and ignorant and off-putting.
My goodwill toward RP supporters is quickly fading. So many are self-righteous, know-nothing know-it-alls.

Rick Perry.... the only LOGICAL choice
Look, Perry is not the worst candidate in the pack, but this is Ron Paul's time. He speaks the mind of the people at this point in history. The elite in charge are doing everything in their power to defeat him already. You are buying into their spin.
Actually... Perry IS the worst candidate in the pack. He has BLOOD on his hands forcing unsafe and potentially DEALY shots on 6 graders. He is a mur der er. Do you understand that? MUR DER ER! He should be locked in prison instead of running for president. He is scum and anyone that votes for him is either an uneducated sheep that cant pull up google or ...I cant think of any other reason to vote for him other than ignorance.

Rick Perry simply draws upon his faith when necessary ... different from convenience.....
and he's not wrapped up in paranoid driven conspiracy theories ..
much like Charlie Veitch .. I have come to realize that all of the conspiracy chasing is breeding negativity and paranoia... its time to join the human race folks ... Rick Perry will represent us the way we should be seen globally ....
It's hard to tell if the idea that Ron Paul cannot win in 2012 is more ignorant, in its complete lack of historical sophistication, or more arrogant, in its claim to certainty amid all the complexity of 300 million lives and the myriad issues that affect them.
