Tim Pawlenty’s Endorsement of Mitt Romney Is Irrelevant

Wowee. In hindsight, it's hard to imagine how the writer of this article could have been more wrong!
I predict a Romney/Pawlenty ticket. Pawlenty will bring the needed conservative Christian gravitas to the table. They'll look great together, too. Like a pair of Fred MacMurrays. Clean-cut, not-too-old U.S. businessmen.

The writer of this commentary should check facts before he makes his narrow viewpoint. Talk about poor one-sided journalism. An obvious cheerleader of the Texas cheerleader, flip-flopping former democrat who did poorly in school aka Perry. Romney beat Obama in the poll 46% to 44% while Perry trailed Obama with 42%. The rationale is simple. Why would we elect an inexperienced community activist to the presidency to an accomplished businessman and governor in times of economic crisis. And why would Republicans elect empty feel-good rhetoric again from a former democrat cheerleader who struggled through school? We have the best candidate to lead the top nation in the world in Romney. A dual post graduate scholar from Harvard, a successful businessman/economist, a strong Republican governor who was able to manage a completely Democratic state, a crisis expert who turned around a scandal plagued Olympics... America needs the best qualified to lead in 2012 and that is Romney. Let's not make the same mistake we did four years ago:
1. Selecting a Republican candidate who cannot win
2. Selecting a President who is way over his head.

I'm "taking things out of context" brucetee ? Why don't you just point that out to me.
I proved you are full of (place your own word here).Let it begin with "S". 5 letters.

brucetee_ Are you too stupid to open up a link ? Is Galloup poll, that is a major poll (NOT FOX brucetee). It says the exact opposite of what you said. Isn't that the NORM...
"Majority of Americans Agree With Perry That Social Security Is a Lie"

"A Gallup poll last year found that 60 percent of us working non-retirees believe Social Security will fail to come through on its promised pension when we retire (the margin of error was four percent). Among workers aged 18-34, fully 75 percent said they don't expect to get a pension from the program."
"When Perry makes Social Security out to be "a lie," then, he's not yammering out some crank viewpoint outside the mainstream. He's saying what a majority of the citizenry believes to be a simple truth."

hey mr. bill, i;ll give you this much.your good at taking things out of context( to support your point of view ) and name calling.the name calling must be needed to pump up your ego.
so i;ll take that into consideration.
as to social security it,s been there and will continue to be there,in spite of all the current"chicken little's".
