Thank you again CW for a humorous post;)

These leftist idiots are distorting, contorting and going bonkers trying to compose anti-Perry propaganda....making no sense of their nonsense.

It’s hilarious.

So they’re giving him the Bush treatment by calling him stupid.

They really have run out of all arguments and stand like imbeciles before us with a finger up their nose with one hand while the other pulls the undies out of their rear.

I dispute the first part of that statement - college grades are not a proof-positive indicator of intellect. And the second part has yet to be proven. Perry is playing to his base and saying what he has to in order to get the nomination. But once he gets that he'll need more than his base to win the election. Time will tell just how politically brilliant he and his team is.

Not just the Bush treatment. Their intellectual bankruptcy goes back years. Every Republican from Eisenhower forward was stupid. Except for Nixon, who was evil. Like clockwork, they tar the Republican candidate or president as an idiot. Ford was stupid and clumsy. Reagan the amicable dunce. Bush I, Dole and McCain, the war heroes who nevertheless weren’t intellectually curious like their opponents (the brilliant policy mavens, Dukakis and Clinton). And, of course, Bush II was a stupid monkey. Now Perry is stupid. But what about the fact that he has won so many campaigns? Ah, well the answer to that is that he is “politically” smart and ruthless; that doesn’t mean he isn’t still an idiot. The good news is that I am getting the impression they are talking about Perry like they talked about Reagan and Bush. And Reagan and Bush won.

If George W. Perry's against QE, then Texas needs to give the stimulus money back. His position is, saying you are opposed to whore houses, when you are caught coming out of one putting your clothes back on.

Isn't it interesting that any Republican candidate is automatically intellectually suspect, but RAT candidates are incredibly intelligent.

I, for one, am sick and tired of the stupidity and baseless arrogance of the so-called "intellectual elite"!

So, to cut to the chase, Ricardo Pherry loves importing Mehhicccans and Sharia, but wants to lynch Bernanke for destroying our currency.
I’m ok with the ropey thing.
Now about those Mehhiccans, and Sharia.............

But faith — not fact — drives belief in creationism and intelligent design.

BS.....it takes more faith to believe in "evolution" than it does ID.

“It is true, as presidential candidate Perry says, that the state turned down some of the money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 because it had strings attached. Texas didn’t apply for education grants that came with conditions, and the governor famously refused $556 million in federal stimulus funds for the state’s unemployment insurance program, saying the conditions that came along with the cash would increase the long-term costs of the program.”

Forget the birth certificate, where is the transcirpt? Why is it that George Bush’s and Rick Perry’s college transcripts are leaked, but we don’t ever get to see a Clinton’s or an Obama transcript?

Senator Phil Graham answered that:

“ If we should vote next week on whether to begin producing cheese in a factory on the moon, I almost certainly would oppose it…On the other hand, if the government decided to institute the policy, it would be my objective to see that a Texas contractor builds this celestial cheese plant, that the milk comes from Texas cows, and that the Earth distribution center is located in Texas.”

That is true, that is why Phil grams let ken lays attorneys draw up the credit modernization act, and Phil's wife had a seat on the board of Enron. Now you are paying for the Texas cheese factory with Tarp. Etc.
