Wow, the poor wittle victim Rick Perry. He’s getting so picked on. Makes me want to cry. He’ll have to go through a lot more than what I’ve seen before I’m going to shed a tear for him.

Somehow I don't think Rick Perry will be losing any sleep over your unstable emotional state.

From what I've learned about Perry, and for what speculation is worth, (he was a C+ student) he wasn't cut out for being a farmer but coming from a poor cotton farming family and having gotten into A&M, he probably went in that direction to improve their lot but didn't have the talent or interest for it.

At A&M he was Call Leader and part of the student body, so even then his calling was in that vein. His obvious skill is politics and he has put it to good use by filling 100% of all appointed positions in Texas, pushing it right and creating a job friendly environment. His skill has not gone unnoticed.
