My GOD! Will we EVER learn? For almost 12 years our country has suffered the policies of two inept, incompetent presidents...George W. Bush and Barrack Obama. The thought of a Rick Perry presidency is too much to bear. This country USED to have intelligent leaders and what do we have now but a bunch of doofus nitwits, sexual preditors, con artists, and snake oil salesmen. I'm not voting until we get smart candidates with a REAL plan for improvement.
