RICK PERRY IS SCARY.

Time to leave the country?

Why Rick Perry is headed to the White House
Why are Americans gearing up to elect another Texan for president? asks fellow Texan James Moore, an Emmy-award winning former news correspondent and co-author of the best-seller, "Bush's Brain." Although Perry "hates to govern, loves to campaign, and barely has a sixth grader's understanding of economics," writes Moore, his "coyote-killer good looks, $2,000 hand-tooled cowboy boots, supernova smile and Armani suits will create a product Americans will want to believe and buy."His prediction had many CNN.com readers planning to leave the country.

It's weird that you posted this. I was just having a conversation with a few people not too long ago and asked them if Rick Perry seemed kinda creepy to them. For some reason, he gives me the willies, and I can honestly say that NO politician has ever caused me to have that reaction.

Although Perry "hates to govern, loves to campaign, and barely has a sixth grader's understanding of economics,"/

Those sound very much like the President with the exception of his economic knowledge which at a level of 6th grade would far outweigh the President's.

I think your location should read "caught in a lie", not 'trap'.

 

[JimH52]

You know, he could just use some ot W's campaign bumper stickers. Just scratch of W and insert Rick. WORKS FOR ME!

 

[Mustang]

I just listened to some of his speech in SC. What a pile of platitudinous, pandering palaver.

Jesus help him. He's a simpleton with swagger. A thoroughly unpleasant combination.

Remind you of anyone?

You don't think Obama likes to campaign?

Rick Perry won't even win the republican nomination.

If I were a bat shit crazy dimowRat I'd be scared of Rick Perry too. You betcha!

Kudo's on the originality of your insult for Democrats. I get so tired of "libtard" and "dimocrat".

I'm not sure I agree that the DNC is afraid of Rick Perry. They have a few things they can exploit about him in campaign.

Crazy things like his "pray for rain" deal during those wildfires, and the subsequent 4 months of the worst drought in recorded Texas history. I guess the man upstairs ain't listenin' to Governor Rick. He also has stated that humans cannot alter the climate. In May he said “I think it’s time for us to just hand it over to God, and say, ‘God: You’re going to have to fix this,’”. Texans didn't elect God.

Rush Limbaugh is Perry's personal hero. Rush even admited that polls show most Independents are turned off by the intensity of the opinons Rush throws out.

His talk about Texas secceeding from the union will have to be spun and explained.

Texas isn't paradise, in spite of it's ability to attract businesses from other states. It is the most polluted state in the country. It has the lowest wages in the country without illegal labor stats. It has the highest percentage of workers without health insurance in the US. All these could be campaign ads.

I see a Perry/Bachmann ticket, or Romney/Perry, or Romney/Bachmann ticket. The trouble for the GOP will be...that only Romney appeals to Independents and a few Democrats. Both Perry and Bachmann only have the base sewn up, and any Republican who runs has that sewn up by default because the base would never vote Democrat even if Satan and Saddam Hussein ran on the GOP ticket

get over it. obiedoodle is gonna suck the hind tit.

I wasted all that thought just to get ten words of pedestrian drivel, including great words like "tit" and "suck"?....but Kudo's once more for "obieddodle"...your insults are quite funny and original, no doubt about that!

A TOTAL non-logical, non-well thought out post. But a highly intuitive one?
Please let us know what Elvis has to say about Perry, once you channel him, that is.

I suppose he didn't say HOPE and CHANGE enough to sway your vote.

 

[toxicmedia]

I'm not sure...right now he's playing the reluctant hero. All the great movie heros are reluctant heros. He's got God on his side, and that appeals to about every Republican Tea Partier out there.

I don't think the nominee will be a Washngton Republican, except possibly Bachmann, I hope....

IMHO, it's gonna be a Governor, like Perry or Christie, and the VP is gonna be someone like Pawlenty or Romney.

Christie/Cain for 2012

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

He'll never get the election - but yeah. It would be scary if he did.

Let’s hope he's not elected. But as usual the ‘scary’ thing about Perry - or any GOP president, for that matter – is his judicial and administrative appointments, EOs, and agency policy changes.

I spent 8 long, hard years battling the GWB Administration’s efforts to destroy 4th Amendment privacy rights, 5th and 6th Amendment due process rights, and 14th Amendment equal protection rights. Fortunately the Supreme Court – Mr. Justice Kennedy in particular – thwarted those efforts for the most part.

I’ll rejoin the battle again against Perry in defense of the Constitution if need be, but I don’t know how much longer the rightist barbarians can be kept from breaching the gates.

 

[toxicmedia]

Christie/Cain for 2012

I watched the Republican debate yesterday online. For the life of me...I don't see the attraction for Cain. He seemed kind of cantankerous and I don't know...like he drinks too much or something. I realize that the GOP debates are contests to see who is the maddest at Obama and the state of the economy...but at least the angry rhetoric from the others seemed a bit more rational to me.

Oh well...until the GOP returns to secular fiscal conservatism...IE Goldwater and Eisenhower conservatism...I don't want to vote for anyone.

'Barbarians'? Well, that's a minor improvement over 'terrorists'. In terms of civility tho', you still have a long ways to go.

And he'll save money, too! He can hire some poor people at half-minimum wage to do the scraping bit, thereby contributing to a reduction in unemployed workers. BOOYAH!

Next to Huntsman, Cain had the 2nd least amount of questions and response time. Too many candidates at this point to have a thorough debate.

I tend to strongly favor logic over emotion in most things. I don't get carried away by feelings or impressions because I know they can easily be wrong. But let's face it, people can and do get a "vibe" from other people.

Politicians I don't like based on their politics or their policies have never given me the willies before. Even politicians who I think are stupid (Bachmann) or wholly dishonest to the extreme (Gingrich) have never given me a feeling of unease.

Perry makes me uneasy. I just get a bad vibe from the guy. The only other politician who ever came close to giving me that same creepy feeling was Tom DeLay, and he was from Texas too.

 

[Zoom-boing]

I like Rick Perry. He'll be an excellent candidate - and I think he can beat Obama (as long as the Dems are constrained from too much voter fraud).

I think he can beat Obama, too. But that's because Obama's performance has been significantly below that which he'd promised and what was expected of him. My hope for 2012 is the DNC realizes how dissatisfied with Obama those of us who voted for him have become and put up a viable alternate, such as Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT). But if it comes down to Obama vs Perry I will vote for Obama again for the same reason I voted for him last time -- the lesser of two evils. (Gravel and Kucinich were my preferences in 2008.)

Obama is much better than Bush, which isn't saying much, and I'm sure that as disappointing as he's been he was a better choice than McCain. And there is no doubt in my mind that he's a far better choice than Rick Perry who is George W. Bush on steroids.

So having said all that I'd like to know specifically what it is about Perry you like.

Wait -- Obama is better than Bush yet . . . . Obama is Bush on steroids. How can Obama be better when he's worse?

And now Perry is Bush on steroids? So does that make Perry better than Bush or better than Obama? Or is that worse?

It's gonna be a long year.

There was alot of criticism about how Fox ran the debate. I don't believe that anything the GOP/Fox does is an accident. Anytime there is any conflict whatsoever between GOP politicians, and Fox, it is staged to make the GOP NOT look like it's monolithic one news network self. Air time is given to the front runner candidates, and that's no accident.

I can understand.
The only politician who ever gave me a bad vibe was Clinton. But visited Arkansas for the first time this year, and it gave me some insight into that bad vibe.
