Conservatives: Stop Seeking a Presidential Messiah

This year, there are -- or rather were – seventeen Republican candidates running for the nomination and then the Presidency. The large majority of them have impressive records, long-standing experience in the government, the military, or the private sector, although not always interlocking at the same time in the same person. Sadly, Texas Governor Rick Perry already dropped out. He presided over a state with one of the fast economic expansions in the country’s history, more outstanding because this drive emerged despite the economic malaise of President Obama’s abortive policies, from wasted stimulus dollars, to his Environmental Protection Agency overreach, to Obamacare, and its dizzying, byzantine myriad of regulations.
