re: #137 calochortus

True, but I don’t see a lot of excitement for Perry either, and the GOP has pretty much purged all their moderates, so we may end up with a wingnut nominee.

after hearing perry’s announcement speech, i revised my opinion of his appeal downward quite a bit. the rhetoric was standard so it didn’t show where he expected to differentiate himself and stand out, and his delivery was dismal, really dismal

the wingnuts are looking for somebody who will talk to “america” in the tone of voice of an authoritarian father who’s idea of raising their children is to thunder “You WILL Shut Up Right Now Young Man And Do What I Say”. they will just about orgasm if somebody comes along and talks like that, but so far nobody, not even perry, fits the bill
