I have been a registered Republican following the election of JFK. Like most I learned that as a citizen I should always respect the office of President. However, what do you do when the man in office[I] is not deserving of respect. I had no respect for Nixon and hence he was not my president. Likewise i have no respect for Obama and hence he is not my president. And like Nixon, Obama lacks credibility only in Obama's case it stretches across economic and foreign policies failed policies

The thread however is about Rick Perry. From what I can gather Rick Perry's platform fits with mine. And for that matter, so does Michele Bachmann

So I like Richielion's Rick Perry or Michele Bachmann or a combination within

The problem with Perry's campaign is that he may wait too long and not be able to raise enough capital?
