  I know we have a few conservatives on here, so I have to ask:  Why would anyone want to vote for Rick Perry? 

  Out of the Republican Presidential Candidates he doesn't seem like a top contender imo.  He reminds me of a GW Bush II.
  

   But what do I know, I'm just a disgruntled Hillary '08 supporter who will probably vote Nader again in '12
  

  Well I'm very liberal myself, but there are still a lot of deluded people who LIKED GW. I can't understand it myself.

  I don't understand it (i'm also not conservative).  But i do think RP is waaaaayyy worse than GWB.  I mostly think GWB wasn't cut out for presidency, but i think RP is a hateful person.

  I haven't been impressed with any of the new candidates as of yet. It just seems like they're on a tirade to get Obama out of office and they don't care what they do or how they look doing it.

  I'm a conservative, but along the lines of fiscally conservative and socially liberal. I also tend to identify as a libertarian. Rick Perry is basically my polar opposite. I can't stand the guy.  

  I'm seriously hoping Romney can make it through the primaries though.

  My dad voted for Obama but has otherwise voted Republican at the Presidential level since 1984. If Perry turns out to have half a brain, he'll probably vote for him in the primary. I chalk a lot of it up to regionalism (I grew up in Georgia).

  I'm a dem but I like Romney as well. He seems to have his head on straight. Also, I used to be weirded out by the fact that he's mormon but that's just because I didn't know anything about it. My boss is mormon and had educated me more. Of all the repulican candidates, I think I could stand behind him.

  ...Isn't Romney the one who wants to outlaw all birth control that could even potentially cause a fertilized egg to not implant because he thinks it's an abortifacient -- including the Pill, Ring, and other methods of hormonal birth control?

  I mean, I don't use HBC myself, but that's just ridiculous.

  I dislike lawmakers legislating what I do with my body and my reproductive choices in the first place, but legislating on things they very plainly do not have any understanding of? Hell no.
