That might be true if Republicans had actually nominated conservative candidates in 2008 and 2012," Gov. Rick Perry (R-Texas) said in his address at CPAC this afternoon.

Comments:
Had Perry not been in a painkiller-induced stupor (following back surgery) during some of the Republican Presidential debates, culminating in the infamous “oops” moment, he might have been the eventual nominee.

This wasn´t exactly a "slam" as the headline would like us to believe. It was simply a reiteration of what many conservatives have always said about our last two presidential candidates.

I still like this guy. Had he been our nominee at least Obamacare would have been a club to beat Obama with. We disarmed ourselves with Mitt.

Perry doesn´t get why we lost, thank him for coining vulture capitalism and his buddy Newt though.

Perry is at least aware that most Republicans now (especially the conservative base) are interested in speeches with blunt talk and specifics. We are turning off those who are simply rephrasing old GOP GENERAL talking points without specifics. Thank you Governor Perry.

I was a Perry girl for the primaries and he didn´t exactly lose me. I´m not stupid enough to fall for the fluff, I see his record. But he did make some stupid moves. The aforementioned "vulture capitalism" was one of them. Now, if it were true, then it´d be okay, but it was a willful mischaracterization of what Romney´s financial career was. That was a turn-off. His "gays in the military" commercial. Dopey. It was a transparently pandering ad aimed at socons who went for Santorum (ugh). So he was pretty tone deaf in a few instances.
I honestly don´t think any of the other candidates would have done better against Obama. Pop news and entertainment would have destroyed him more easily than they destroyed Romney.
They didn´t actually destroy Romney, either. He won the election and was defrauded out of it. The proof is trickling in and it´s profound.
Anyway, Perry´s right to slap McCain, but I think the GOP should lay off Romney for a while. He got scr*wed and it just looks like kicking a puppy with a broken leg.

Hmmmmm...
I seem to remember what occurred a year ago and 18 months ago pretty well.
Newt was a lousy candidate in many ways, and NOT a conservative.
At least Newt lasted a while, and won a primary in South Carolina.
Then there´s Perry. That was the "18 months ago" reference, for those who cannot recall.
Perry did not make it to the primaries.
Romney came very close to winning the presidency and turning this country around.
Seems, though, that many who enjoy posting negative comments did not bother to vote.
Thus instead of a great guy like the conservative Mitt Romney, we instead have
a Wannabe Kommie Dicktater in our midst destroying our great nation.
Hope that people enjoy wallowing in their obvious (to most of us) delusions.
Meanwhile, some of us would like to prevail in the upcoming 2014 midterms.
Someone like Ted Cruz is articulate and smart. And he´s from Texas.
Others from Texas are just warmed over hash.

Thank you Rick Perry for calling Obama out for releasing criminals from jail. Rick is a true conservative, has done a great job for Texas, and would have been the best selection for president.

So republicans are so picky that a man saying whoops throws off any good thing about him. Any republican would have been better than what we got. Whoever got rid of Perry should never be near a selection of candidate for prez. They are idiots.

With friends like these-who needs Democrats
and the media ?
Sorry to see Governor Perry , my first choice , descend into this type of unhelpful name calling.
But, that seems to be the pattern lately of conservatives.
Levin called Congressman McCarthy a piece of rat dung , only he used a more vulgar term.
Grover Norquist called Republicans rat heads in coke bottles.
Really ? Ronald Reagan would never behave this way.
The Republican primary voters pulled the lever for Governor Romney.
This constant talk by conservatives of some
secret conspiracy that tricked voters into picking Romney
over other candidates
insults the intelligence and integrity
of the Republican primary voter.
Democrats always pull together , conservatives delight in tearing apart every Republican who they feel isn´t perfect.
Which only helps Obama and Democrats .
Perry had some back story feud with one of
Romney´s consultants that is obviously still simmering.

Perry parachuted into the primaries expecting to walk away with the nomination. He wasnt prepared and made rookie mistakes out of the gate. Perry did himself in, and has no one to blame but himself.
Romney, on the other hand, was more than prepared to destroy his republican opposition. Shame he couldnt do the same thing to Obama.

If #6 is correct and Romney actually won the election except for fraud, then Romney knows it and is so incredibly weak that he will not make an issue of it. It´s enough to make you puke and abandon, totally, the Republican pary.

The first Latin American and the first Jesuit to become Pope in the church’s 2,000-year history, the former Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio is believed to have been the runner-up when Pope Benedict XVI was chosen in 2005. (Snip) He reportedly said at the time: “We come to pray for those who have fallen, sons of the country who went out to defend their mother country, to reclaim that which is theirs and was usurped from them.” Addressing relatives of fallen veterans before a visit to the Argentine military cemetery in Darwin in the Falklands in 2009, he said: “Go and kiss this land which is ours,

Rio de Janeiro - During a Mass on April 2 last year to mark the 30th anniversary of the start of the war, Bergoglio called for the vindication of "all" of those who fought against the British over the Falklands Islands. "We come to pray for those who have fallen, sons of the homeland who set out to defend his mother, the homeland, to claim the country that is theirs and they were usurped," he said. "Many young people were there and could not return. Others returned but none could forget. "Many scars, many families destroyed by permanent absence or a return cut short. The country needs to remember them all."

Cardinal Peter Turkson, a 64-year-old Ghanaian prelate, is the bookmaker´s early favourite to succeed Pope Benedict XVI. He told The Daily Telegraph Tuesday that his biggest challenge, should he be elected, would be to maintain an orthodox Catholic doctrine while "at the same time knowing how to apply it so that you do not become irrelevant in a world that has continuous changes". Cardinal Turkson, who holds one of the most important jobs in the Roman Curia and has been repeatedly promoted by Pope Benedict, was quick to take a conservative line on gay marriage and other "alternative lifestyles".

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Sen. John McCain says he doesn´t understand the threats from some of his Republican colleagues to filibuster a bill on background checks to buy guns. "I don´t understand it," the Arizona Republican said on Sunday of the threat coming from Sen. Rand Paul,Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Mike Lee and nine other Republicans. "The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” "What are we afraid of? ...

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
