It would be great if a non-lawyer, perhaps a physician, ran for President.
What sort of crazy talk is this? Keep it up, and they'll allow them in the Senate, for the love of Pete!
Except Bachmann hasn't been a governor and had to make the decisions that would give people reasons to hate her. I am sure if she was governor somewhere y'all would be able to find plenty of reasons to not like her as well. I have come to the conclusion that candidates are like Supreme Court nominees. The only ones that aren't hated are the ones that have no paper trail.
I have lived with Perry as my Gov for 12 years. I can deal with him as President. Regardless of all that stuff, he is still more conservative than most of the candidates out there IMO. I also think he has the tools to run a decent national campaign which guys like Cain may not.
Besides, he is an Aggie. I really want to have the first Aggie in the White House. I would REALLY like to see the string of Harvard/Yale Presidents stopped. Romney is another Harvard elite guy. That aristocratic trend has got to stop.
I still like Bachmann in that she has been about the most consistent & vocal in opposition to BHO's policies. She is not a career policritter, having had a tax law practice & a few other endeavors under her belt. IOW, she is no Obama who drifted from affirmative action position to patronage position & back.
I do agree with you on Perry. He is a known quantity to me. I have a decent handle on all the ways he falls short in my book. Despite that, he'll do as a non-RINO GOP nominee.
The Aggie/non-lawyer deal is just icing on the cake.
