"Maybe it's time to have some provocative language in this country."
-- Rick Perry
"Because it worked so well the last time?"
-- Rick Horowitz
"Bring 'em on!" says the man from Texas -- or was that the previous man from Texas? Whatever.
Must be something in the water. (Industrial waste?) You come out of the Lone Star State and your default settings automatically go to Total Testosterone: You're the long-stridin', sun-squintin', gun-totin', plain-speakin', g-droppin', tough-as-nails, raw-as-a-rattlesnake son of the West with the sheriff's badge and the don't-mess-with-me jawline.
Pass the popcorn -- we think we're in love!
There's something about a swagger, right? When times are tough -- and aren't times always tough? -- we need a man who's tough. The kind of man who takes no guff from nobody. A man's man, not one of those namby-pamby types who wants to be "reasonable." Who'd rather "meet you halfway." Who prefers to "lead from behind."
Not that we're naming names. (But do we have to spell it out for you?)
We need a man who stands tall. A man who sits tall in the saddle. A man who's not afraid to speak his mind, no matter what's in it. A man who says what he thinks, even when he's not actually thinking. If he's got good hair, so much the better.

He makes his bets, and then -- because he's a man's man, a swaggery man, a Texas man -- he doubles down on his bets. That's right: He doesn't back down, he doubles down. Try to set him back on his heels and he'll rip your legs off. Then he'll have your toes for breakfast.
Isn't that exactly the kind of man America is hungry for?

Of course not...no loss of sleep for Perry. he’s on a roll now and his supporters with him. Blinders are all in place for those who cannot see....willingly.
Who knew in 2004 that the Federal Government was forcing lenders to loan to more and more people that couldn't make the payments.
Please stop trolling the Perry threads. Thank You.

The Bush Admin and Senator McCain warned repeatedly about Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac and what thus became the 2008 financial crisis -- starting in 2002
Really? 68 dead and counting and you delusional Perrybots choose to ignore it? You should have no problem with abortion then. Dead is dead.
I knew you wouldnt dissappoint. Spin, spin. 68 dead and counting from this drug and you still spin for your boy Perry. Abortion probably isnt that big of an issue for you either.
Have you watched the disclaimer running with pharmaceutical ads on TV?
Do you realize that over 400 people a year die from drug allergies to penicillin (just in the U.S)?
Please stop trolling the Perry threads. Thank You.
Perry threads? Seems like they're FR threads to me. And unlike in certain sections of the Texican Public Skewal curriculum - FR is where we...
"...and finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them..."
--Thomas Jefferson
If Jim says he'd like me to stop contradicting Perry's errors, I will comply.
Until then:
Was giving 20 million Texas Tax dollars to Angelo Mozilo and the Thieves at Countrywide Financial an ERROR; and is that an example of the judgment we can expect from President Perry?
Texas Bankruptcy exemptions -- homestead -- truck --
The Rick Perry-ACORN connection explained: A primer for non-Texans "......For lower-income first-time homebuyers who did not understand the difference, for those picking through the shattered mess of their lives, they were about to find out the hard way.
If they bought their home under a "Contract for Deed" instead of a "Deed of Trust," being late with just one mortgage payment or failing to adhere to the "terms" of the contract could mean that they forfeited their home. In some cases, the statute required only 15 days to cure any issues. An expedited foreclosure process revoked any claim to the property. Since the title was never transferred to them, the title holder was required to maintain insurance. If the title-holder did not do so (even if the homeowner was paying towards it), there were no funds available to rebuild the homeowner's life. Any money the homeowners put towards building equity in the home was also forfeit.
Their situation caused such outrage that the Texas Legislature took it up during the next session and passed Senate Bill 198, which Governor Perry signed into law on June 13, 2001. It gave homeowners a 60 day window to cure any defaults, required greater transparency prior to purchase, required insurance for the home, and required a check list of assurances that the home had no outstanding liens and was in working order......"
We do not troll Palin threads or any other threads and you post after post after post as you are doing to Perry threads. Once this takes place then it is trolling, and again I ask you to stop trolling Perry threads. Take a look at your own posting record...any sane person would call that trolling.
Yeah but....at that time Barney Frank came out and stated there was NO problem. Barney’s significant other was working at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Barney insisted everything was okay to GWB and congress and had his congressional committee backing to say that warning was a bunch of hooey!
and NO ONE did anything. So? Blame Perry for doing what the rest of the nation/GWB, congress, financial institutions were doing....???
Keep scratching in the dirt! (Looks like you gotta thing going on with yourself)
Do you realize that over 400 people a year die from drug allergies to penicillin (just in the U.S)?
So this is your spin? No big deal. Its just dead kids. It happens all the time. No problem as long as my boy Perry gets elected.
Pathetic.
[So? Blame Perry for doing what the rest of the nation/GWB, congress, financial institutions were doing....???]
So? Everybody was corrupt, everybody cheats -- so cheating and corruption are acceptable? So?
Well GeeOpie, all that a$$paper poisoning the global economic pond was the work-product of an economic infrastructure, AND SOCIETY, that is increasingly demoralized and systemically corrupt.
So - If The Party(tm) won't admit and be accountable for its own corruption from within, then how do you think it will ever have a snowball's chance in hell of recalibrating this nation's moral compass?
How's does our Republic get fixed if The Party(tm) won't even clean its own Log Cabin "Fithcally Conthervative" house?
