‘Cuz, You Know, I’ve Been Born Again Again.
Rick Perry says it’s not important that he make a decision about whether or not he’s gonna run for President because … ready for it? … people already expect him to run.
Republican Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Tuesday he won’t make up his mind about running for president until the middle of next year, but he doesn’t feel pressure to announce sooner because most people expect that he will.
That there is what passes for logic in Republican circles. Rick wants you to know that building expectations and announcing are two completely different things.
Coy little prissy thing, ain’t he?
“There’s not going to be a lot of hope in this country,” Perry said, if people don’t have the ability to recover from their past mistakes.
Perry also departs the governor’s mansion facing charges of felony abuse of power and the prospect that a court case could drag on for months and land him in prison. Yet Perry said he’s confident voters are willing to give him a second chance.
Pull in on those reins, cowboys. Chance one: totally screwed up Texas education. Chance two: hurt women all over the state. Chance three: oops. Chance four: showed up at a campaign event drunk and/or stoned. Chance five: failed to raise money for his PAC. …. Chance eleven: those glasses. Chance twelve: made a giant production of getting baptized outdoors. … Chance forty seven: he’s not gay. Chance forty eight: he’s dumber than bean dip. … Chance seventy nine: holy crap. He’s under felony damn indictment for extorting an elected official.
Second chance? Hogwash, honey. You passed second chance back in about 1987.
First politician I ever saw who drank his own Kool-Aid!
1I’m not going to vote for Rick Perry, because like most people, I expect him to lose.
2We moved to Texas in 2004 so, sadly, Rick Perry is the only Texas Gov I’ve ever known.
I dread Abbott – the next Doofus in Charge – but seeing Rick try to worm his way into the White House will be more entertaining because it’s NOT on our dime this time.
3Run for the border, maybe.
4I think he mixes up second chance with reconstituting. If so, this guy is orange juice!
5I foresee for Rick a future on his own reality TV show–for all of two episodes.
6Today’s WaPo has this piece on your beloved state leader:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/rick-perry-hungry-for-redemption-says-hes-a-substantially-different-candidate/2014/12/09/3c9c605a-7f20-11e4-81fd-8c4814dfa9d7_story.html
And this blurb:
‘Perry acknowledged that the richest Texans have experienced the greatest amount of earnings growth, but dismissed the notion that income inequality is a problem in the state, saying, “We don’t grapple with that here.”‘
WOW! Completely clueless and should make the 2012 presidential campaign circus pale in comparison to 2016.
7“There’s not going to be a lot of hope in this country if people don’t have the ability to recover from their past mistakes.”
Vote for Rick to prove that losers have a chance. Somehow I don’t think that’s gonna be an effective campaign strategy.
8Good grief, Gertie!!
9Ain’t it the truth. No grappling going on in Texas.
Perry acknowledged that the richest Texans have experienced the greatest amount of earnings growth, but dismissed the notion that income inequality is a problem in the state, saying, “We don’t grapple with that here.”‘
10And I dread Abbott too. He steals water from poor areas of Texas. He promised that if anyone puts a bill on his desk saying that women should get the same amount of pay as men for doing the same job he will veto it. I’m going to go have another cup of coffee and then go work on Ed Scruggs’ campaign agains the Tea Party lady in dist. 8 in Austin. Tea party wants someone in Austin City Council. Sigh.
11Rick’s motto: “I must hurry and catch up with the others for I am their leader.”
12Coy little prissy thing, ain’t he?
I’ll just go with arrogant.
13“There’s not going to be a lot of hope in this country,” Perry said, if people don’t have the ability to recover from their past mistakes.
Cameron Todd Willingham would be a little less than impressed with this quote, but then Perry killed him on false evidence.
14Isn’t he under indictment?
