He doesn't have what it takes. Herman Cain makes him look foolish.

Perry is an idiot. And I don't use that word lightly. He hasn't debated any of his opponents for the Texas primaries or gubernatorial elections... and it shows.

Ugh, he sucks as governor and would be an even worse president. I didn't think Texas could produce a worse politician than Bush. I was wrong. Perry is it. He's a moron.

Default Perry is about as bright as

Perry is about as bright as someone who has been hit in the head too many times. And an absolute Judas Goat.

Click here: Judas goat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Read about Perry's true totem animal here.

Cain really is alot better. I wonder if many blacks would cross parties and vote for him?

Perry is and idiot who does cater to his own base....That is why he is and idiot.

Perry is Dubya without the brains. Palin and Bachmann are all hat, no cattle as well. Personally I'd rather have northeast intellectuals over trailer park idiots anyday. The northeast intellectuals don't make the entire country look like a bunch of backwoods yokels.

In that time I liked Goldwater from the world of my tricyle. Palin really is out of the world of Reality TV and Jerry Springer. People such as Perry and Palin are out there as someone a large part of the country can relate too. Makes no more real sense then people who want to "relate" to Obama.

It it too bad we can't have someone as tough and shrewd as Putin running the place here. At least he is a nationalist and patriot to his own country.
Google our President vs theirs.

Dubya is definitely the smartest one out of all of your examples. He didn't speak clearly on the fly, but frankly, neither does Obama. George W Bush was no slouch at all. The Bush family actually tried to run people against Perry here in Texas. They don't think Perry is too bright either.

The thing I don't like about Herman Cain is that he rarely answers a question without circling the answer back to one of his canned talking points. He does not give very elaborate answers pulling in multiple themes or ideas. He seems to rely on his experience as a CEO where he gets to choose from two or three ideas that have been vetted by his staff. I am sure he is a fine leader and can stay out of the weeds and work on the bigger problems unlike Barack Hussein who can't see over the bushes.
