A wave of fear has come over Washington — and it’s not the earthquake or the hurricane. Self-appointed Republican elites, fretting Hill Republicans and left-wing carnival barkers all have one thing in common: Perryphobia.
It’s an acute condition, with different manifestations. But it has the same root cause – arrogance toward Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
Let’s get this straight — with Congress being as popular as cholera, they think they are going to hurt Perry’s chances by dissing him? Really? Congress is at an all-time low, according to a new Gallup poll, with only 13 percent of Americans approving of “the way Congress is handling its job.”
The fact is that a candidate seeking support from actual humans who vote would be smart to distance him or herself from Congress — and cholera.
Anyway, the arrogance of the left is easy to prove. And it is even easier to prove that they are in full-out Perryphobia. A random sampling of left-wing oracles this week produces these gems: Ed Shultz calls him a racist; Rachael Maddow says he wants to “lynch” Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, and Chris Matthews insists that “he looks like a clown.”
Now for Hill Republicans, whoever they are. A Politico story, “Rick Perry’s loose lips worry Hill Republicans” put Perryphobia on full display.
Let’s start with the left, because that’s easy. Liberals — roughly 20 percent of America, fortunately — are generally very willing to tell you that they know more than you do. If you don’t believe that, try a field experiment today and you will see.
But liberals don’t just talk the talk, they walk the walk...........

Do as you wish, but insults don’t help your cause, whatever your cause is.
If Perry gets the nomination Democrats will have a hard time choosing between which one is the bigger Democrat.
Sorry, but I fail to see how Perry’s roadmap is any different than the same old moronic transnational utopianism that put us in the hole in the first place. Perry’s entire platform is to carry water for the global progressive movement at the direct expense of the US tax payer.
Definition of insanity...? I’ll pass on the gussied-up Clinton democrat currently sitting in the (rented) TX governor’s mansion.
I like them both. I think together they could break the back of the EPA, and that would be a darn good start on the road to renewed American Exceptionalism.
OK...find where I have EVER bashed Sarah Palin...EVER...
Yeah, go read some Rick Perry threads on DU.
They're not scared of Palin. They're not scared of Bachman. They're not scared of Romney.
They're scared witless of Rick Perry.
HUH?? Guilty conscience?? I got into a "Discussion" with a few Perry Rinos and that was the first thing they did.
Yep...and then some! He's a shrewd operator and knows how to play the political field to the uniformed...further he can talk the talk of a conservative to the Perrybots quite well...that is what they want to hear....in order to avoid the history of Perry's actions.

Too the RINO Idiot Palin bashers in here!! She is a Real Conservative,Tread lightly with the covert and outright bashing!
Prove it.
No different than the Obama supporters....we gave them the facts and warnings as well about Obama. They aren't about to listen to Perry warnings either....he's their man of the hour.....to our nations demise if he takes the office of Pres.
I think you’ve summed it up well. I like them both, and I want them both to succeed.
One of the funniest tongue-in-cheek descriptions I’ve read about the posters who think Sarah is “entitled” was posted by FreedomForce:
“She’s running a different type of campaign and she’s not going to announce at all and on election day, everyone is just going to write in her name and she’ll win 50 states and even Obama will be won over and vote for her, maybe more than once and she might even win a Senate seat and a House of Representatives seat in addition to the Presidency and she’ll take the oath of office on election day sitting on a moose or a grizzly bear.”
LOL!
What a whore Perry is....
