Rick Perry: Shutting down government to defund Obamacare not a good option
Yahoo ^ | September 25, 2013 | Jeff Zeleny, Richard Coolidge, and Jordyn Phelps

With a potential government shutdown looming in less than a week, Gov. Rick Perry of Texas said it would be “nonsensical” for his fellow Republicans to support any effort to bring government to a halt over the health care law.

“I don't think it's a good option,” Perry told “The Fine Print.” “There's still time to sit down and try to fix Obamacare.”

There are only two choices. Which side are you going to be on?

Perry thinks it can be FIXED????

(Waving!!!!! hope all is well with you and yours!!!)

I guess I can not be sad he didn’t win.

(One of my old taglines - “we’re going to have to go through hell to get out of hell” seems more true with every passing day.)

At the very least, Ted is succeeding in smoking out the RINO vermin with his filibuster.


Good point.

Remember his "heartless" statement? Are ANY of them NOT socialists?!

Waving back! We're okay.

I really think we’re on the cusp of Claire Whatsername’s dictum about it being to late to fix with elections and too early to ahem take care of the bas***s.

(Glad you’re okay, we’re hanging in there and never a dull moment...)

Idiot, the govt doesn’t need to be shutdown to not fund Obamacrap. But you already knew that, didn’t you?

that statement will come back to haunt Rick Perry re his presidential aspirations

I don't think he's running for President. This weekend, Rick Perry's wife, Anita Perry, came out in favor a "woman's right" to have an abortion.

If Rick was running for President, there is no way his wife would come out in support of abortion.

If you have a strong stomach, you can watch her describe her views and how she won't criticize Wendy Davis, etc.:

After “heartless” I think any further aspirations were finished

The surrender monkeys in the GOP hand picked him just like they did McCain.

And they are already trying to give us Chris Christie, or Rubio, or Jeb Bush, or some other RINO.
