Governor Perry

[JohnR]

Perry must be a credible threat to the Dems. http://www.dcclothesline.com/2014/08...ed-500k-cause/

I don't hate the guy and generally agree with him. I just personally think he is about as smart as a box of rocks.

A lot of people thougth that of George W. Bush. The same people thought that Obama was the second coming of Christ. George Bush is looking better with every move that Obama makes. Maybe it's the Drawl that has you confused.

Hell, even Jimmy Carter is looking better with every move that Obama makes. At least when Carter blew his hostage rescue operation he didn't try to keep it a secret.

But back to the subject, I think Democrats miscalculated bringing this patently absurd indictment. If anything it vindicates Perry's decision to defund the office which is supposed to be about "public integrity" and instead is the opposite - openly used to abuse the criminal court system to take out political opponents. It gives Perry free pub and a chance to look like a fighter. This could be his "Mr. Moderator I paid for that microphone" moment, if he'll take it. Even most liberals are cringing at the charge.

you don't have to wonder where he stands on an issue that is for sure.

I only know of one person that supports this decision and he is so stinking liberal it isn't funny. He's made the comment that he doesn't think conservatives should be allowed to vote....was hilarious when he mom explained to him how stupid he was over that comment.

Nope, not the drawl.

[muggsy]

Nope, not the drawl.

What is it then? Could it be the great economy of Texas, the low unemployment rate, the low tax rate? Tell us DavidS, what exactly makes you think that the man is stupid?

[Bawanna]

I think the Portugese Water Dog should run. I'd vote for it before Hillary.

Governor Perry graduated from Texas A&M with a bachelor of science degree. He served in the U.S. Air force attaining the rank of Captain and was a C130 pilot. He was elected two three terms as governor of the State of Texas. Apparently he is somewhat smarter than a head of lettuce and definitely smarter than a box of rocks.

At least we know both Texas governors' backgrounds and job history, and their college history. We can probably see credible copies of their birth certificates, too.

lived there for 2 yrs.? if you like fascinating reads, go to the late, great Texas reporter Molly Ivins. she covered and wrote about the interesting side of Texas. here's a quote-- ""As they say around the Texas Legislature, if you can't drink their whiskey, screw their women, take their money, and vote against 'em anyway, you don't belong in office."

I'm writing that down. I want it above the door of the oval office when I'm elected President, or failing that maybe on my Tombstone.

All true except you left out what a poor student he was (some a-hole democrat illegally released his A&M transcripts), and how he switched from the democrat party to republican about 25 years ago.
Also that his rich backers have gotten a lot richer from beneficial state contracts for years. And then there was his dictatorial attempt to require every young Texas girl to get a uterine cancer preventative vaccine. His primary "quality" is being an opportunist who calls himself a republican. Yeah, he's a gun guy, but the Texas State Rifle Association was not very happy with his failure to push for a state open carry law - he was silent on it.

The main reason he kept on getting reelected is the fact that his democrat opponents were worse crooks & skunks than he is and their state democrat party is a bunch of whinyass rats not fit to govern a dog pound.

I haven't voted for him in this century and never will.

But I will say he is light years more preferable as president than any democrat who is in the current crop of their scumbag "leadership", and that includes the Hillbeast. And he would've been 100% better than that worthless "community organizer" infesting the White House right now.

The indictment? It is a stupid ploy by the dirty democrats who defended their drunken alcoholic Travis County DA who should've been fired. Perry's veto of her office's funding was a legal move on his part, but the Austin democrats are trying to parse the "intent" part of the law. Not only are they making themselves look like vindictive little turds (which they are), but they are giving him a boost in his popularity.

Frankly, it has been a huge entertainment for me - and I say that as a good friend of Rick Perry's A&M roommate & Air Force pilot school classmate, plus my wife was a Taylor High School classmate of the drunken Travis County DA in question. This has filled an empty void for me ever since I cancelled our subscription (after 45 years) to the Austin American Statesman newspaper - the local rag - and no longer get to read the Sunday funnies. lol
