Perry was asking college students for their vote -- then made a complete fool of himself by writing off the very people who he was trying to win over?

lol! It's no wonder he is polling a 2%.

Well, during a televised debate, Mitt Romney was off a couple of decades on how long he’d been married....media crickets...hmmmmm.

Obama misspoke on the number of U.S. states.....media crickets...hummmmmm.

Perry can’t misspeak w/o it being a running headline. They really fear him.

Mortifying.

Good point. Anybody polling a bit higher than 2%?

It'd be a joke if the outcome weren't so dire?

Why are we wasting our time with such low-lifes as Perry? Can not the Republic find candidates of sufficient quality? Or are we doomed to perpetuate the perpetual mantra of "Hail, Ceasar! We elect the!" by the soldierary and the Senate rubber-stamps it all and all and all and each and every stinkin' time until they burn themselves into the ground.

While it may be akin to magnesium flare, but after it burns out, then what?

The historian Candidus was more specific regarding expenditures: "Leo Makellos ("the Butcher"), who ruled after Marcian, lavished limitless money on the expedition against the Vandals. For, as those who administered these things reveal, 47,000 pounds of gold were raised through the prefects, 17,000 pounds of gold through the count of the treasury, and 700,000 pounds of silver, apart from adequate amounts raised from the public funds and from the emperor Anthemius" (fr.2: Gordon trans., p.121).

Procopius also provides an account of the assembly of the Byzantine fleet:

"And the emperor Leo, wishing to punish the Vandals... was gathering an army against them, and they say that this army amounted to about 100,000 men. And he collected a fleet of ships from the whole of the eastern Mediterranean, showing great generosity to both soldiers and sailors, for he feared lest from a parsimonious policy some obstacle might arise to hinder him in his desire to carry out his punishment of the barbarians. Therefore, they say, 1,300 centenaria were expended by him to no purpose" (Bellum Vandalicum 6.1-2: Dewing trans., p.55).

There are some other things too (but its too late).

Don’t forget that Perry now, all of a sudden, will deport all illegal immigrants who get caught!
