The Stop-the-Damn-Socialist Primary Wagering Gala
Okay, and there’s this absolutely true story that happened about 15 years ago right here in Fort Bend County. Milton Wright was running for sheriff and began calling himself “the conservative” candidate. Now, I know Milton Wright and I knew he had no clue what a conservative was. So, as a newspaper reporter, I asked him to define conservative. He thought real hard for a minute, then his eyes lit up like he was a modern day Archimedes, he held up a finger and proudly said, “Not a liberal.”
I smiled and asked, “What’s a liberal?”
“Not a conservative,” he promptly replied with smug juice all over his face.
He has seen no reason to get any smarter since then.
Now, the reason I’m telling you this story is that I am completely convinced that if you asked Rick Rick Perry to define to tenets of socialism, he could not do it. I am convinced that he could not even explain it well enough to pass a junior level civics class.
So, just to toy with the boy, we’re going to play the Guess Which Fool Climbs Over The Bodies Of Other Fools To Get On Top? And guess where Rick is in that pile?
Even though Mitt’s running the table, and to be honest, I’m saving the best prize for South Carolina, let’s have a little good ole New Hampshire fun.
You pick the winners in correct order and the percentages (which will be used to break a tie) and you will win this very cool tee-shirt in size XL. If you don’t wear a size XL, you need to eat something. If you wear bigger than an XL, you need to quit.
I will mail it to you absolutely free through the good folks at the United States Postal Service.
Wagering stops at 5:00 pm on Tuesday. No exceptions, unless someone is willing to set up a superPAC in my name.
