The Republican intellectual class—led by the Wall Street Journal editorial board and the page of The Weekly Standard—can't find a candidate to support among the current crop of GOP contenders to take on President Barack Obama next year.

POLITICO's Jonathan Martin and Ben Smith write that "To many conservative elites, Rick Perry is a dope, Michele Bachmann is a joke, and Mitt Romney is a fraud." http://www.businessinsider.com/rick-perry-is-a-dope-michele-bachmann-i

we have a few suggestions should he want to take things in a new direction. So without further ado, some new, albeit less presidential slogans for the Texas Governor. Be sure to add the name “Rick Perry” before reading each of them aloud.

Putting the “Execute” in Executive Branch

The Issues: You Name ‘em, I’m Against ‘em

Bringin’ Tea to the Inauguration

I Swear to God I’m Not Josh Brolin

America, Love It or Threaten to Leave It and then Run for President!

America’s Faith Healer

It’s Either This or I Find a Baseball Team to Run Into the Ground

America is Broken, Let’s Shoot for Broke

The Insane Candidate WITH a Penis

If At First You Don’t Secede…

It was after Samuel "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbacher was brought out as a surprise guest by Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin at a rally in the battleground state of Ohio that high ranking Republican party officials began hinting at a possible Palin-Wurzelbacher ticket in 2012. And neither Palin nor Wurzelbacher is denying it.

After a recent rally in Jeffersonville, Indiana, an Associate Press reporter asked Governor Palin the question about the possible 2012 ticket. "Gosh, I can't speak for Joe, but ya' know, Presidential tickets do need two people. Actually, they need four, because you need to run against two other people. That's why we have a democracy, for which I stand." After a long pause, the AP reporter re-asked the question: Would two of those people be Palin and Wurzelbacher? "I guess you could say two of those people could be me and Joe?the Plumber, not Biden. See, he's a Democrat, and the Vice President. I mean, uh?okay then."
