Why Rick Perry is headed to the White House

Quote:
Austin, Texas (CNN) -- As a resident of Texas for 36 years, I keep wondering why the rest of the nation pays any attention to our political and cultural absurdities and yet still chooses Texans as presidents. Our most revered historical moment, the Alamo, was arguably a mass suicide. The slaughter in San Antonio was followed by a massacre at Goliad, the fall of the Confederacy to Union forces, and later by the Houston Astros. Texas has a legacy of losing.

None of this apparently matters, though, because America is beginning the process of electing another Texan to be president. Gigantic tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations, a trumped up war and a ruined economy from the last Texan seem incapable of dissuading supporters of Rick Perry.

His Saturday speech in South Carolina will make clear that he is entering the race for the White House and will spawn the ugliest and most expensive presidential race in U.S. history, and he will win. A C and D student, who hates to govern, loves to campaign, and barely has a sixth grader's understanding of economics, will lead our nation into oblivion.

Well, this is sure going to make it harder to secede. :doh:

I though he wanted to secede. Well, more power to him. Currently things in Washington are not going as planned.

politics + religion + god bless x = not good mix

Could someone "translate" this for me:

I'm especially puzzled with "A C and D student". How bad thing this is? I'm totally unaware of Texas politics - didn't even know governor's name.

Those are student grades.

A= highest, best
C= average
D=lowest, but passes
F= failing

Who are 'the people'? Currently I would take Katy Perry in the White House. She could do no worse.

Doesn't sound bad idea actually... :hmmm: Would look better in pictures than earlier presidents. However I'm afraid that she may not be eligible. Am I correct that person must be x year(s) old when taking office?

It would also have the bonus that she would have to give up making "music"

Perry for Prez!

Bubblehead1980 08-11-11 01:21 PM
Not a fan of Rick Perry, seems like another texas neo con, we need a real conservative committed to really solving our fiscal issues.Having said that,
Perry would be better than obama anyday.Time for Libs to admit(like many are, even in the media) that obama is not an effective leader among his many other faults that are well documented.I suppose one thing in Perry's favor, Texas is doing well even in this depression.Yes I call it a depression, it is, no one wants to admit it.I have not been effected by the economy other than outrageous gas prices but millions have, it's a depression, end of story.See DENIAL.

Armistead 08-11-11 01:23 PM
He will pull the christian right in mass, may get a nomination, but would lose against Obama.

The GOP better put up a center moderate if they want the White House, people are tired of extremes...

Give me Ron Paul anyday, not that he has a chance in the GOP.

AVGWarhawk 08-11-11 01:30 PM
Katy Perry for Prez.

Just another rock star in the White House! :O:
