    Who the hell is Perry? I haven't even seen him in the last debate. How do I know I can trust him?

    Just like last election, Republicans will vote for whomever they are presented with. Its what has happened many times before, its what the GOP counts on, and it will be so again.

    Gov of Texas is pretty cool. I'm not sayin he's Jesus, just better then The Obama. The others I "believe" will be worse than The Obama. Mitt, for ex, I will not support and I "believe"(baced on Romny Care and other things I've heard him say, like climate change raz) will be worse.

    I didn't vote for McCain. I voted for Palin... hoping McCain would up and retire. That "hope", I "felt", was better than The Obama.

    Eh, but he's a Governor. Which means he's a politician. I can't trust those either.

    I'm really behind Cain for that reason in particular but I guess I'll give Perry a chance.

    There isn't a republican alive you couldn't trust, whereas, there isn't a liberal dead or alive that you could trust. Obama being a prime example of that axiom.

    Cain is cool. I fully support him and wish him the best. Any of my 3 would make a good pair.

    Except for:

    *George W. Bush
    *George H.W. Bush
    *Dick Cheney
    *Mitt Romney
    *John McCain
    *etc...

    You can't trust Repubs or Dems.

    I wouldn't trust John McCain Lindsey Graham.

    Nor would I trust Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins or Arlen Specter either.

    Difficult to say for sure. If I had to guess I would say the GOP.

    Yeah I like your 3 as well, being that Palin and Cain aren't politicians.

    BS :( Palin and Cain are "FEARED" most! They are both good people with great life stories that the mainstream can relate to.

    Anyone who can give up a career as a politician is perfectly fine with me. Yeah, I like that they make people uneasy. I just like them as people. They're not politicians which is A okay with me.

    That doesn't make sense.

    An Iowa straw poll would be among Iowa voters. They don't have Iowa straw polls in other states. What makes this poll an Iowa straw poll?
