Perry tests his Texas twang in key states (Here comes the Lame Stream Media mockery)
washington post ^ | 8/14/2011 | By Nia-Malika Henderson

Posted on 08/14/2011 6:43:36 AM PDT by tobyhill

Rick Perry, who entered the 2012 GOP race Saturday, greeted his first crowd of voters here with two words rarely heard in these parts: with a wave, he let out a boisterous “Hi, y’all” to a crowd clad in khakis and button ups gathered around a backyard pool.

There was also this: “Y’all holler outta question” to open up a question and answer session.

And this when it got going: “There’s hands going up everywhere, somebody just get after it.”

There were times when the three-term Texas governor sounded eerily like the “Saturday Night Live” version of George W. Bush, droppin’ every “g” and proclaiming “awesome” at nothing in particular.

His appearance raised the question that is at the center of his candidacy: Can Perry take his Texas twang on the road and meet voters where they live, in cities and suburbs and swing states?

Wanna hear my Okie twang?

Get me on the phone with my sister or my Mom.....

Gawd! I hate the commentary afterwards from people.

I don’t know I revert to Sooner language.

It just happens.

I been asking these Anti Perry posters who they support and if they flee or ignore the request then I think its obvious what they are up to.

Axelrod has unleashed his Obots on Perry.
After all, Axelrod created Astroturfing.
So you will see alot of “Concerned Conservatives “ trashing Perry with the same half truths , lies , phony YOUTUBES. I like Palin, Perry, Bachman the best but I will vote for anyone to STOP THESE SOROS -DALEY MACHINE RADICALS. Obama is beyond dangerous.

“The thing that concerns me with Gov. Perry is that this might be more of the “Crony Capitalism”...”

What gives you such a concern?

I think bgill lives somewhere near Austin so her hatred may be something personal. My curiosity is growing bigger by the day, wish she would tell us.

Maybe she is an environut and Perry shot her coyote? As far as Axelrod is concerned he will unleash on any and everyone who poses a threat to obozo. Palin has been battered starting with the last election so whoever can overcome the dems onslaught is my candidate.

He was also the Agricultural Commissioner, and before that he was part of the legislature. They called him the pit bull because he was ruthless at cutting things from the budget.

It's one thing to have a little bit of fun with you and to try to chide you into better behavior and quite another thing to put up with the snot you have been spreading on these threads. I pulled on my rubber waders, held my nose and took a stroll through your posts with which you have disgraced Free Republic today. Here are a list of the people you have insulted and the venomous way you insulted them so far today:

To: SoConPubbie

It appears from your posts that you know about as much about our border problems here in Texas and what Perry’s position is on those problems as a pig knows about Sunday...

To: Diogenesis

Thanks for the reply as usual you reinforce your FR status as a “Wedge” aka simplest tool known to man!

To: Diogenesis [without the simple decency of a copy to the man insulted]

at is why I gave him the moniker "wedge"... simplest tool known to man and he reinforces that title with each post!

To: Diogenes

IAnother lie from “wedge”...if BS was music “wedge” would be a one man band!.....

To: bgill [when not vicious you are patronizing]

I expect he will do just fine without your support along with the other couple of dozen Perry bashers here on FR....so don’t fret my friend.....

To: Diogenes

Hey “wedge”, nice to see you keep up the dumbazz posts... for those who don’t know a “wedge” is the simplest tool known to man....see the boys posts and you will know why he has earned the moniker....and with his latest posts he has reinforced that designation...which shall live in ignorant infamy..

To: isthisnickcool

I hear wispers that you are a faggot....normally folks who constantly accuse others are actually attempting to deflect attention to their own shortcomings. Are you a faggot....come clean...it will only hurt for a little while....just think of the tremendous burden of guilt that will be lifted from your shoulders if you come out of the closet!

To: Cheetahcat

I have learned over the years to never argue with a drunk...either leave or kick their ass...can’t kick your ass...so I will leave...sober up tomorrow and follow your posts...and see how proud you are of them....

To: KantianBurke

In looking at your profile....you are one sick obsessed dude or dudette...in your hatred for the Bush’s....IDEA...vent that anger to a real devil....the current occupant in the White House...

Having read these posts it has become clear that I must contrive yet another remedy for yet another one of your maladies which afflict you and that is a phobic abhorrence of punctuation, particularly the use of periods. I look through all your posts and fail to see a single period used by you today, Sunday. There were dots aplenty in evidence sometimes appearing in pairs, sometimes in threes, and even often in groups of fours. There were 4 or 5 exclamation points and a couple of question marks but the single "dot" was conspicuous by its absence. It's conventionally used to mark the end of a sentence.

I am not as you presume a professor but anyone could hardly fail to note the childishness of your punctuation keeping pace with the virulence of your posts. It is not on my own behalf, or even on behalf of the people listed above whom you have insulted today that I point out the churlishness and childishness of the replies with which you have polluted the best conservative website in the world. I object to you because you degrade and disgrace Free Republic. It is egoists like you who present the mirror image of Democrat Underground to the world as the face of Free Republic.

Perhaps those you insulted and other readers would like to have another chance to read about your pathology:

AD HOMINEM DISTEMPER

Fine, no skin off my back. Look around the threads and see what others have to say about the office. Do a search for Texas governor’s duties and then compare the results to the same for lt. gov. This just proves my point that out of staters don’t know as much as what they think they do so they shouldn’t flame those of us who have lived in Texas and vote (nose held) for him twice (and not wanting to do it a third time).

He was W’s Lt. Gov. W. didn’t like him. In Texas, the Gov. and Lt. Gov. run on separate tickets and don’t even have to be of the same party. They are elected for a term of 4 years and there are no term limits.

Hey Nathan....one last notion to keep your fingers busy doing something other than reinforcing the notion of your snobbish academic elitism at the keyboard... go to your corner and pick your nose..................how do you like that punctuation....big boy. That should be a fairly easy task for you to accomplish given how high in the air you have it hoisted!

I’m leaning toward Cain. America needs a businessman right now, not another career politician. Hopefully, he’ll get more publicity as time goes by. Don’t know that Palin will ever throw her hat in or if the public will allow her to pursue the race or if they’ll pile on more horse hockey. While she’s one to stick by her guns and she’d bring back the respect we need from the rest of the world, I see the horrid msm most likely wouldn’t let her do the job. Bachmann has potential but, imo, is a bit wishy washy and I don’t know that much about her other than what I’ve read or seen on tv the last few weeks. OTOH, Paul and Romney are big no way, no hows. But, we’re a long way from the finish line so anything can happen.

Texas primaries are a whole ‘nuther animal.

Hey Nathan....one last notion...

If only that were so.

..................how do you like that punctuation....big boy.

Congratulations on the first use by you of a period today but you guessed wrong, you should have used a question mark in that spot. Why don't you try another place? Maybe where you see all those little dots might work.

I’ve told you how many times I don’t hate him. I don’t believe we need a career politician who’s as liberal as he is. You want an open border, fine, he’s your man. You want someone giving perks to friends at taxpayers’ expense, fine, he’s your man. You think the nation is ready for another Texas president after the Bush family, fine, go for it. But if your reasoning for voting for him is because you don’t like what I type, then our country hasn’t learned much from this last time it threw away votes.
