Romney vs Perry: Who to vote for or None of the above?

Ok, so as a conservative republican, I don't know what to do. You have Perry who I feel is not as conservative as needed on many issues and don't agree with his mandatory vaccinations or his stance on illegal immigration. Romney is too moderate for me, seems like a salesman, and basically lied last night about changing his book to appeal to the conservatives. These are the 2 front runners right now.

So I don't feel either of these 2 are right for the position. I also think this is going to be a repeat of 2012 where we put up a bad candidate (McCain) and look what happened. Who do you feel is the best person for the job. Personally, I like either Paul, Cain, or Bachmann..

    Ron Paul.

    Ignore the mainstream media, they're trying to dictate to you who the 'winners' are while simultaneously staging a circus (the childish back-and-forth between the two morons, Romney and Perry) to entertain you into believing you're making an informed decision.

    To all Americans, we're smarter than this. Step up and support who you like, not who the media tells you to.

    Ron Paul is the only person with whom I agree with on domestic issues. Cain is fine too.

    For some reason the mainstream media keeps putting Perry and Romney up there as front runners even though they have not won the IA straw poll or the CA republican straw poll. Ron Paul is consistently up there.

    The website that carries the blog for the Republican debates has not put Ron Paul as a selection for top candidate on the last two debates.

    I don't think McCain's heart could stand the rigors of campaigning and his selection of Palin shows bad judgment. At this point I wouldn't vote for any of them.President Obama has had to try and turn around policies of Harry Truman, Richard Nixon, George W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, Lyndon Johnson, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and Gerald Ford. All of them at some point in their terms dipped lower than Obama's low point of 38 percent job approval, according to Gallup's comparison. I'm not delighted with him either but if I have to choose the lesser of all evil now it would be the President who has delivered on some of his policies inspite of GOP resistance. The disrespect and hatred they have shown him is shameful before America and the world..

    None of the above.

    Folks, "Fact check" and your eyes will open wide.

    As to your coices"

    Paul has a FEW decent ideas, the rest is total nonsense.

    Cain is a Lunatic. Chilean system = yeah, the Insurance Carriers get rich while they Nickel and Dime the People to death. Exactly what we need, isn't it.

    Bachmann takes Government Money (Medicare, Farm Aid) on a regular basis while proposing doing away with Federal Taxes.

    I wouldn't vote for any of them but Ron Paul. but if the McCain/Obama situation repeat again....then Perry.

  • 10 years ago

    Paul. Cain is a waste and Bachmann is to lazy to fact check or she is just making crap up as she goes along. Either way it is too serious a character flaw.

  • 10 years ago

    None of the above. Id go with Paul or Cain.
