Rick Perry, Solar Arc (Link) Venus @07 Aries - 2012They're not yahoos. This is not your torch-and-pitchfork angry villager. These are people with firm opinions on which is the best brand of riding mower. The audience at this debate were the people that give out raisins on Halloween. They own The Blind Side on DVD. And yet and yet and yet... lowers voice menacingly... they thirst for blood. ~ Jon Stewart, The Daily Show

Essay by Hunter
The candidates who have been doing well, among Republicans, are the absolutists. Rick Perry is as absolutist as they come. Other candidates may want to privatize or end Social Security, but he'll tell you outright he wants it gone.
Other candidates may give speeches on how much they want to hurt workers, help businesses, and cut government help to all the poor bastards who are unfortunate enough to need it, but Rick Perry can point you to all the specific people he's hurt.
He's actually proud of the dismal wages, bad working conditions, inability to access healthcare, and all those other little Texas Miracles and the Republican base will eat that stuff up.
Rick Perry is the spitting image of George W. Bush, but with all remaining nuance stripped out. He is the Bush id, with any pretenses at compassion or sincerity stripped away, leaving just the dumb, mean-spirited parts.
A Texas governor of dubious intellect and record, a sometimes agonizing speaking style, known as a bit of a frat boy, known for bullying behavior, known for his actual pride in executing people with no particular concern for their innocence, a bold God-panderer.
There is a hunger for mean, among the conservative base, and a hunger for punishing the nebulous other, whether that's the unemployed, the poor, the sick, the old, union workers, public sector workers, immigrants, disaster victims, Muslims, or anyone else.
The Republican base isn't looking for a new Reagan: Reagan was too moderate. They're looking for a new George W. Bush.
