Gov Perry was correct on all counts when he said that.

Not quite. It's time to get over this naive belief that 0 is a "Euro-style" welfare state socialist. He is a Third World communist whose goal is to overthrow the United States as a free society rooted in Western culture. He was a red diaper baby, he was tutored by Commie Frank Marshall Davis, his career was launched by Commie Bill Ayers, his wife is a black racist.

Regardless, half of Republicans don’t know what ‘socialist’ means...so I don’t think stating it will help much.

Half of the Republicans don't even have enough brains to find a toilet.

Comments at the Washington Post are strongly supportive of Obama and against Gov. Perry's statement that the president is a socialist.

What’s so sad is that being a socialist isn’t a bad thing to most Americans. Lack of education of what a socialist actually is and no exposure to what socialism has done to other countries makes this a moot point in a way.

Rick Perry tells the TRUTH.

Sorry. "Socialist" is only part of the truth..

Obama is a Marxist and has been since college. He is in place to diminish the United States, if not to ruin it. He is well underway in betraying us to our enemies in the Middle East and in South America. He continues to wreck the economy by not taking any real steps to re-ignite the economy. He continues to rampage against American business and the wealth generators and that only encourages them to move off-shore, losing more US jobs. Now he will withdraw our military forces from the Middle East - 500,000 men and women - and they will add to the unemployment costs socially and economically. Obama is not a savior. He's not just a socialist. He is the personification of the islamic enemy. He is not a transformer; he's a destroyer.

Mr. Perry needs greater truth so the American people are not fooled again.

That's why this isn't flying around every news outlet like a Perry "oops" has.

For over three years, the Bloviator, BO'R, has been unable to form the word "socialist" in his hyperactive mouth....and spit it out when identifying his buddy Obama's ideology.

He's been asked the question many times....and still weasels out of answering even in the face of the correlation between what Obama is doing and what socialism is.

Kudos to Rich Perry for taking the steer by the longhorns and stating the obvious about the Marxist-in-Chief.....without fear or hesitation.

You run down Americans more than Obama does. Are you a democrat termite or just a mental case off his meds?

ANDY HILLER:

10:06:46:00 Governor Perry, your party’s last nominee, John McCain, wrote in the Washington Post in an Op-ed about a year ago, his words, “I disagree with many of the president’s policies, but I believe he is a patriot sincerely intent on using his time in office to advance our country’s cause. I reject accusations that his policies and belief make him unworthy to lead America or opposed to its founding ideals.” Agree?

RICK PERRY:

10:07:13:00 I make a very proud statement and of fact that— we have a president that’s a socialist. I don’t think our founding fathers wanted America to be a socialist country. So I disagree with that— premise that— somehow or another that— President Obama reflects our founding fathers. He doesn’t. He talks about having a more powerful, more centralized, more consuming and costly federal government. I am a tenth amendment believing governor. I truly believe that we need a president that respects the tenth amendment, that pushes back to the states. Whether it’s how to deliver— education, how to deliver health care, how to do our— environmental regulations. The states will considerably do a better job than a one-size-fits-all Washington, D.C., led by this president.
