Republican presidential contest suddenly heats up

Some snippets;

After months of resisting calls to join the contest, Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Friday he would consider it. That could reshape the GOP field, adding a sitting governor who has never lost an election.

Perry, the longest serving governor in Texas history, would bring conservative bona fides, a proven fundraising record and a fresh voice. Even as Perry's closest advisers say he has no intention of getting in the race, he has methodically raised his profile, fanning interest.

In recent years, Perry has made a sport out of bashing Washington. Most often, he assails the federal government for failing to secure the U.S. border with Mexico. In November, he published a book, "Fed Up!" In the book he describes the federal government as financially reckless and out of control and calls for a resurgence of state-based power.

He issued a statement last week after Obama's foreign policy speech.

"President Obama's speech today continues a misguided policy of alienating our traditional allies, in this case Israel, one of our strongest partners in the war on terror," Perry said, joining the field of likely GOP presidential contenders in criticizing Obama's foreign policy.

In or out of the race, Perry is scheduled to address conservative voters next month at the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans, a gathering that has become a showcase of Republican presidential wannabes.

Toss another RINO into the mix.

The attempts to generate "excitement" about Republican 2012 Presidential candidates just seem to roll off pundit tongues and news presses, then fall to the ground and flounder like a landed fish only to die miserably...

That was somewhat poetic.

Did you think that up all by yourself?

and the left wing nuts have what? Obama?

Of course if all of the idiots out there would ignore the DemocRats and Rethuglicans for an election, perhaps we'd get somewhere better.

Nope. Sheep will be sheep instead.

That seems a bit pessimistic.

I am confident I get the gist of your post.

How / what do you think needs to happen?

Be as long or short (as you want) with your answer.

Nothing will happen without seriously pissing off the American people somehow.

You have to have a strong 3rd party candidate in the mix while the Dems and Republicans have done everything to piss people off.

The only other alternative? Revolution.

So in other words, we are fvcked no matter how you approach the situation.

The rural courts out there still (illegally) practice Sharia. Paul wouldn't cut it out there. But if we ever do establish a colony on the moon or mars, I suggest we let the libertarian wackos have dibs on it. They will die out within a generation and then real normal human beings can take over.
