I pretty much agree with this guy. I just can't see Bachman winning the nomination. It's a two man race now, Romney vs. Perry.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Hmmmm.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

What's this dude Perry saying? I never heard of him.
I only knew of Romney, Paul and Bachman.

He's says we should be less worried about offending other cultures and not be concerned about multiculturalism.  So when he is elected President the US army will save money by removing Kosher meals.  Jews and Muslims can either accept Jesus Christ as their savior or they can just go to hell.  And be hungry on the way there.

The military should drop haram meals on hungry towelheads. And with each meal, a mini-porno booklet.

Quantative Easing 3 - "printing" more money to lend to banks and zero interest that the banks don't lend to borrowers.

can one of our money men explain why the US can't increase liquidity by cashing out bond holders and paying off it's debts?

You never answered me whether I should be voting for the candidate most likely to lose to my preferred candidate, or for the candidate I would feel least oppressed by.

There's also the possibility of voting for the candidate most likely to bring complete disaster upon America, thus opening her up to a period of Democrat-led renewal that hopefully involves great public works projects and air power.

I would vote for a robotic/zombie resurrection of Hitler who promised to wipe out all remaining Jews on Earth if it meant getting that fucking macaca out of the White House.

I'd like to vote for Huntsman but he will not be around in the general election. I think despite his flip flopping Romney has the most legitimate chance to win, Rick Perry is probably the second most electable but he's very fucking crazy. The reason Rick Perry should scare sensible people is he will have a compelling story come campaign time, and remember, Presidential elections aren't decided by swing voters, they are decided by swing voters in less than 5 swing States.

Essentially if Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida still have really high unemployment in 15 months and Rick Perry is the candidate he's going to be in those States talking about how great Texas has been under his watch, how 40% of America's new jobs are in Texas and how he will do similar stuff in Ohio, Florida, and Pennsylvania.

Now, anyone who knows anything knows that Perry deserves little to no credit for Texas economic situation. Further, upon close scrutiny Texas is doing okay, but other states are doing better in various measures, Texas isn't as impressive as its buzzwords would have you believe. Take out its natural resources and it is even less so. Essentially I agree with Krugman (who I rarely agree with) on Texas and Rick Perry. Another thing is, Texas gains at the expense of shittier States, Texas creates jobs at the expense of other States, that doesn't work on a national level.

The problem with all that is it takes a paragraph to explain and someone willing to listen and understand it to really make an impact. What % of fat, beer swigging voters sitting on a cooler of Keystone in Pennsylvania will listen to that nuance? If he brands himself well and doesn't scare everyone into rallying against him Perry could actually win--and if you really read about who Rick Perry is, a Perry Presidency should scare pretty much any reasonable American more than even a second term of Obama.
