Now you're just being stupid.

He's being himself.

I've made my case Kevin. I've transcribed their interaction to the best of my ability.

It's as obvious the kid was wrong as it is he wasn't interested in hearing Perry's response.

"What is the point of Texas (garbled)" or "What is the point of taxes (garbled)" is not a source.

Perry tried to answer, correct the inaccuracy/false premise stated in the question and the kid cut him off.

Period.

No actually you've shown yourself to be a complete idiot.

I've already told you this once but you want to argue semantics.

Perry would have answered him but first he had to explain to him that he had his information wrong. But like a true liberal he wouldn't allow Perry to explain thus Perry couldn't answer the idiots asinine question.

Now go troll somewhere else!!

Pointing out that you've made two different arguments that can't both be true at the same time isn't arguing semantics, it's arguing logic. Asking why Perry, who's running for President, increased debt in Texas is an asinine question? Seems like a pretty logical question when we're currently mired in debt.

The opinion that they "can't both be true" is the fallacy in your logic.

Perry tried to correct the false premise of the question, the kid cut him off mid sentence, then Perry asked if the kid would allow him to answer the question. The kid started a different question which I've pointed out twice now and you have ignored.

Therefore, Perry both attempted to correct the questioner and was also not permitted to correct the false statement and answer using accurate information.

Because he didn't start a different question. From the kid's blog:

"I found the debt numbers at Politifact from Bill White, who quotes the Texas Bond Review Board. I asked Perry about the raw numbers, which show that in 2000 Texas state debt was $13.7B, and by 2009 that number had grown to over $34B (Mitchell Schnurman found more recent numbers for 2010: $37B.). Bill White at Politifact adjusted for inflation and found the debt merely doubled under Perry."

This is what he was trying to tell Perry. I don't know where you got him asking a different question.

Hey dumbass an explanation IS an answer.

It is asinine when it's based on false information.

The debt increased under Rick Perry. That isn't false information.

No one has disputed that. However the numbers the kid gave were false.

And if you or anyone wants to give creedence to what Bill White says then you're about as stupid as they come.

That makes it even worse..since he knew for a fact that it was only double.

Perry took office Dec. 21, 2000 — nearly five months into fiscal year 2001. At the end of that year, Texas had $13.7 billion in outstanding bonds and notes. Adjusting for inflation, that would have equaled $16.6 billion in 2009.

16.6 billion isn't "almost triple" 34 billion.


That makes him a liar.

Plus he knew the reason, which I have quoted twice from Politifact in this thread.

So basicly this kid is a douche.

Kudos to Perry for pegging him a lying douche in less than 2 seconds.
