“I would have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for that meddling Constitution!” -Old Man Obama
I like Rick Perry because it’s already well established he doesn’t suck as a leader. Stark contrast!
I assume liberals will go for the “he’s stupid” instead of “he’s evil” attack against Perry because of the drawl.
A quality a lot of people seem to be looking for in the GOP candidate is being not Romney, though it’s not a deal breaker.
I have the results of straw poll, and bendy straws have won in a landslide.
Rick Perry facts are a rip off of my Fred Thompson facts which were a rip off Chuck Norris facts which was rip off of Vin Diesel facts.
Actual Rick Perry Fact: He kills more things walking his dog than most of us do on the average hunting trip.
Watching Sports Night off of Netflix. The laugh track people seem confused by it.
Obama is adding a new Department of Spending Cuts. It will have a one trillion annual budget.
Rick Perry fact: I want to punch every conservative who can only talk about how “presidential” Perry “looks” – he’s got fire in the belly! Thanks for the substantive words, guys. Boy, I sure am glad we let people like you choose McCain instead of, say, Fred Thompson in 2008.
These candidates all stink and I, a young man, feel like a cynical old cuss.
Four years ago no one would have supported another squishy-conservative Republican Texas governor. I guess Obama really did deliver on the “change” thing.
The evil attack and the stupid attack are not mutually exclusive.
The dept of spending cuts is gonna need an oversight commitee. I think budgeting another trillion for that sounds about right. gotta keep a close eye on them to elliminate fraud and abuse.
One extra bonus reason Rick Perry can balance budgets is because of his access to pots of Gold.
Cat, you’re right. Your tuna must have had some truth in the can this morning.
The motto of the GOP this year seems to be, “Desperate times call for desperate measures.”
By the way, Rick Perry is very handsome, he has very shiny hair, and he talks with authority. And he isn’t Obama. So I have to vote for him.
I miss Coolidge.
If it weren’t for the illegal immigrant issue, I’d be getting a Rick Perry tattoo on my forehead today. Or, not.
They have already tried the “Rick Perry is the stoopid” meme. Just look at his GPA in his college records. Can’t wait for them to bang that drum a little louder. Let’s compare Perry’s grades with the POS….oh wait we can’t compare them cause POS won’t “release” them. The only card the socialists have is villification. POS has NO accomplishments unless one counts epic failure as a accomplishment.
Rick Perry’s hair is too pretty! Michelle Bachmann is going to walk on stage during the next debate and grab him around the neck and mess his hair all up! He will run off stage in tears like a beauty queen and that’s the last we will have to hear from him!!! One down. Then she’s going to go to the next debate and grab Mitt by his magic underwear and give him the biggest wedgie that has ever been given! It will be so awesome that Ron Paul will quit! Two more down! Muwahahahahah!
I just don’t get all of the Perry gripes. After so many years in office, you get a record. People get to see that record and don’t be confused –there will ALWAYS be problems of one sort or another. Despite all of the smackdowns of liberalism and the restoration of American pride, even Reagan had tax hikes, Iran-Contra, and Simpson-Mazzoli (amnesty without border control).
I voted for Perry all three times because I live in the real world; the one where he was the best of all of the available options. Barring some kind of campaign implosion, I will vote for him again in the GOP primary for the very same reason.
I simply find it staggering to watch so many conservatives who seem to be attracted to Rick Perry for the very same reasons we deride Obama supporters for using. Presidential! Fire in the belly! Speaks well!
Texas’s great economy is a fine addition to his record, but few people seem to be praising him for much more than that – plus his wonderful Presidential appearance! I would probably vote for Perry. But I don’t want to look like a damn fool doing it.
MarkoMancuso,
Perry has a record as governor, which means there is no comparison with Obama. He passes the basic competency test, which is enough for now.
Plus he is responsible for putting the heart shaped marshmallows in “Lucky Charms”.
I know. Perry isn’t Reagan, Palin, Bachman, or Coolidge. And he has John Edwards’ hair, a real negative. I his favor he walks his dog armed and he isn’t Obama. And we don’t see RICK PERRY 111!!111!!!!!! ELEVENT ELEVENTY. Yet
Frank, I may be mistaken because I often lack the ability to comprehend my own words, but I do not think I was comparing Obama to Perry. Perry isn’t an incompetent ne’er-do-well. What I’m comparing – what I’m complaining about – is different. It makes me uncomfortable to see some conservatives (You are not one) talk so fondly about what I consider rather superfluous qualities. I’ve read more about what Perry looks like than what Perry’s done. What I don’t like is that the whole process of picking a President nowadays is based so much on hype, looks, and the like. This is not to say Perry won’t be a good candidate or President, it is to say that certain conservatives are playing along with the media-driven process that has given us so many bad people.
I’m sure Perry will be a tireless campaigner. He has had a lot of practice crisscrossing the country as the spokesman for travelocity.
“I have the results of straw poll, and bendy straws have won in a landslide.”
I want a recount. Loopdie-Loop straws are the best and everyone knows it!
RICK PERRY 111!!111!!!!!! ELEVENT ELEVENTY.
