They will nominate a candidate that is too conservative for the majority of the U.S population.

You are probably right. In that sense...they are in a predicament.

But...will it even matter....since ''a change'' is so desperately NEEDED?

Well if it wasn't you maybe there is another "quality guy" that started the "Rick Perry deserves a close look" thread. In that initial thread you said you'd be giving Rick Perry your "loyal attention".

But it's ok. Maybe you have come to your senses and will at least vote for a third party or Gary Johnson if you don't vote for Ron Paul. You must have figured out that Rick Perry is nothing but a would be puppet for the Bilderberg Group as you must know he was invited to their last meeting in Switzerland last month.

You also must know that all of our recent past Repubilcan and Democratic presidential nominees ie McCain, Obama, Bush, Clinton have been invited to Bilderberg Group meetings. Then when they get elected, after promising the world to their constituents, they become puppets to the Bilderberg elites and just carry out their agenda which is mostly 180 degrees diametrically opposed to what they promised their constituents in the campaign.

I didn't know any of what you just informed me...and the rest of the 'Free world''...of. Very clever...you are, Em....using your 'innocent' style, still trying to 'tie' me to Rick Perry.....and then giving another 'lecture' ...and endosement ...i.e., promo.

But, I'll be direct, No current Republican candidate is a serious threat to beat Obama.'

You need to get that point across, Em.

Yes, but a good change, which is not what ideologues are typically capable of providing.

It will be a shame if Ron Paul does not win the Republican Nomination. He is one of the very few politicians who hasn't flip flopped on his core beliefs ever.

How many people will vote republican after they have held the country hostage attempting to line the pockets of the rich with the blood of seniors, veterans, the disabled, and children? I am sure that 50 million seniors will remember the underhanded tactics of the republicans threatening to reduce or eliminate Social Security and Medicare. The republicans have made it clear that they are the party of the rich, the ******* of corporations, and the sluts of industry.

Companies are making record profits, yet they aren't hiring or giving raises. That does not bode well for Republicans.

From my view...it is obvious that Mr. Obama has the most to lose with his reckless statement, i.e., threat... that he can't guarantee the SSI and dis-ability checks after August 3.

Everyone I talked with regarding Obama's statement...think that will damage any chance he might have had....of getting any support from those over 60 million folks....ever AGAIN.
