The Grouch Assesses Republican Primary Candidates - August Edition

Just in case any of you wondered where I stand, I thought I might give you my opinion of the current list of Republican presidential candidates. I'll update this each and every month until a single Republican is selected. If you think I'm all wet, leave me a comment and try to convince me otherwise:

For my July report, CLICK HERE.

I finally finished watching all of the Republican debate from last Thursday night. I went away with really no big surprises. Ron Paul's isolationist stance is scary. I understand where he is coming from but I don't think it is possible for us to withdraw from the rest of the world. For now I will leave him in category 2 but just barely. This is too bad cause I really like a whole lot of the other stuff he has to say.

I am leaving Rick Santorum in category 2. He is a good conservative, but, damn, he's so whiny! There he went complaining about his lack of air time in the debate. I do not like whiners and drama queens.

Rick Perry has just announced. I have added him to category 1. I really like Perry. I'm waiting for someone to convince me otherwise.


CATEGORY 1
I WILL HAPPILY VOTE FOR:

Herman Cain
Michele Bachmann
Rick Perry

CATEGORY 2
I WOULD HOLD MY NOSE AND VOTE FOR:

Rick Santorum (stop whining, Rick)
Ron Paul (he may need psych meds) (barely hanging on to CAT 2)

CATEGORY 3
IF THEY ARE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION, I'LL VOTE 3rd PARTY, YOU'RE WELCOME, PRESIDENT OBAMA:

Mitt Romney (true RINO)
Newt Gingrich (a LIAR and a RINO)
Jon Huntsman (probably should be a Dimocrat)
Gary Johnson (where was he?)
Tim Pawlenty (a truly wimpy thang!)

There are several other minor candidates who I have omitted. If any should float to the top, I will render a judgement upon them.

Just for fun I'm watching Sarah Palin, Allen West, Chris Christie, Paul Ryan, and John Bolton as possibles. If any of these later declare, I will certainly give you a grouchified opinion.

The CAT 3 candidates all said a bunch of good sounding things. In fact if you did not know any better, you might think Romney or Gingrich or Huntsman might make great candidates. The problem is that a RINO is a RINO and a LIAR is a LIAR. These people have their fingers in the wind and will say pretty much anything that will get them a vote.

There you go. The GROUCH has spoken. If you don't like my selections, let's hear about it!
