Perry: Government you can TRUST.

[Jenne]

You really think he's electable?
i hope to hell you're wrong.  I just figure that Bush is still a bad taste in the country's mouth and Perry would just be seen as another Bush...
i remember how many times the 'annointed one' for the republican nomination changed during the last campaign, too.

Nixon was a bad taste in the country's mouth, he resigned and Ford filled in for a little while, Carter got elected because people were fed up witht the GOP. He served one term, and then we got REAGAN.

This country has the attention span of a gnat.

The worst part is that I would almost prefer Reagan compared to any of these people. Hell, I would be ok with Romney as president in comparison to the other GOP candidates, but we know that's not going to happen.

As to bolded:  NO.  After I saw his own son's documentary on him...hell to the naw.

That fucker BEGAT all these rightwingnuts.

Meh. If we're going to run the country based on superstition ad poppycock, why not astrology and midnight seances? And besides, Zombie Reagan can't be all bad.

If only that was all that was wrong with his administration, though, Phox...

Oh, of course not. But if it's a choice between Reagan and Perry, say, why not go for the supercrazy?

On the other hand, there is indisputable evidence that stars exist and people die.

Using a book based on poorly written pseudo-historical fiction as a basis for law making seems just as crazy.

When God translates in from Dimension 12 and appoints me governor of the universe, you'll be sorry you said that.

Somehow I knew they were a rusty load from a shriveled dry-as-dust old nutsack.

Rick Perry signed a pro-life pledge today...

http://news.yahoo.com/rick-perry-signs-pro-life-pledge-153822725.html;_ylt=ArHPDgSaNj1ZdgZBaqRfxAus0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTNlZjNrM25wBHBrZwM0MWFmNTA5YS04NmMwLTM5YzEtYTkxNS1lOGIyNWUzZTVhM2UEcG9zAzEzBHNlYwNsbl9MYXRlc3ROZXdzX2dhbAR2ZXIDMTk3YzNhNDAtY2U2Ny0xMWUwLTgzZmQtZjFkYTZhYmI0Y2Iz;_ylv=3

FIRST, to nominate to the U.S. federal bench judges who are committed to restraint and applying the original meaning of the Constitution, not legislating from the bench;

SECOND, to select only pro-life appointees for relevant Cabinet and Executive Branch positions, in particular the head of National Institutes of Health, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Health & Human Services;

THIRD, to advance pro-life legislation to permanently end all taxpayer funding of abortion in all domestic and international spending programs, and defund Planned Parenthood and all other contractors and recipients of federal funds with affiliates that perform or fund abortions;

FOURTH, advance and sign into law a Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act to protect unborn children who are capable of feeling pain from abortion.

Any candidate that signs a pledge of any kind should be pelted with rotten fruit at any given appearance.

Bachmann and Santorum signed the same pledge.

Pelt away.

[Anna Mae Bollocks]

See kids? YOU CAN LEAD THE WORLD IN LETHAL INJECTIONS AND STILL BE PRO-LIFE!

Anybody got a HazMat suit I can borrow? Santorum splats.

we need that japanese guy!

I thought we had him as an emote but cannot find right now

I don't know how much good playing up the hypocrisy angle is going to do.  This is the religious right we're talking about.  They have no shame, and seemingly cannot be shamed.  The only way the porn angle would have any traction against him at all within the religious base is if he himself starred in Barebacking Bisexuals.

A better bet, I think, is dredging up all the corrupt backroom financial deals, and to point out that Perry really wants to end Social Security.  Even when his campaign tries to disavow his book, Perry himself keeps referencing it in stump speeches.  Get that in front of GOP voters in the primaries and he won't make it through.

(Though I fear even all of this won't be enough.  There were too many people who seemed to like George W., and Perry projects the same personality.)

I get the same feeling in my testicles about Perry that I had when George W Bush announced he was looking into running, back in 1999.  It makes no fucking sense, but I can smell the Doom & failure coming.

Gallup shows him at 29%, with Romney, the nearest contender, at 17% (Bachmann is only at 10%).
