Remember how I said that Rick Perry would be able to carry on with his big money donors?
In the last two days, three Perry Super PACs – Jobs for Iowa, Jobs for South Carolina and Jobs for Florida – have all filed termination reports with the FEC.
The fat lady ain’t singing yet, but she is clearing her throat.
The news is not good.
Newt Gingrich seems to have blown a 20 point lead in less than a week. Michele Bachmann’s campaign manager in Iowa jumps the sinking ship support to Ron Paul. Rick Perry is lost somewhere in Canada, looking for home.
The circus is running out of clowns and that is sad news.
There’s dotty old Uncle Ron Paul, who ruins everybody’s Thanksgiving dinner by screeching for an hour about “kids today.” I swear to God, if he wins, he’ll sit on the Truman balcony throwing rocks at little children. His health care plan: You should have thought about health care before you went and got cancer, young man.
There’s Mitt who wins the title of The Most Uninteresting Man in the World. Slogan: “I don’t always think on my own, but when I do, I’ll bore the crap outta you.”
Help me, Rick Santorum, you’re our only hope.
That’s sad. I have to depend on Rick Santorum for jokes. That’s sad.
I figure Santorum will bottom out by next Thursday and the only one left to keep it going will be Rick Perry because he’s got money and he’s going through it faster than a bullet with legs. Do you have any idea how much his fund raising is costing Texas taxpayers? For every $1,000 he brings in we’ll have to pay $10,000 in non-bid contracts to his donors – for stuff we don’t need.
So, we’re going broke with no entertainment. That is sad.
“Every barrel of oil that comes out of those sands in Canada is a barrel of oil that we don’t have to buy from a foreign source,”
Rick Perry, today.
Next summer’s vacation plans? The desserts of Canada.
Hell, y’all, up until three months ago, Rick Perry thought there was an Old Hampshire and an East Dakota.
Thanks to Barbara, Stephen, Eddie, and other folks who keep me going for the heads up.
Thanks to Carl for the cool graphic.
The Republican Presidential candidates got together and had a contest to see who loves fetuses the most.
It was a testy event, with humans willing to kill each other over how much they love fetuses.
There was crazy stuff brought by Michelle Bachmann who claims that President Obama wants to “put abortion pills for girls 8 years of age, 11 years of age, on the bubblegum aisle.” It is suspected that she means the morning after pill being over-the-counter, which, of damn course, President Obama and Kathleen Sebelius strongly rejected. But in Bachmann’s pretend world ….
And Rick Perry had a Come-to-Fetus moment where he decided that rape and incest are a dandy way for women to have children because of something some woman said to him just recently. God only knows what she said but you can bet it had less to do with abortion than it did with money and power. He said otherwise ….
I will suggest to you that as I signed that [Personhood] pledge … God was working on my heart.”
Sweetie, God needs to work on your head, not your heart.
And Newt Gingrich is starting to make Ron Paul look sane. Honestly, I don’t think Newt would be stable even if you mounted him on a tripod. Every time I head one of Newt’s new ideas about government, I feel like I’m wading in quicksand over hell.
Not only is he going to stomp all over an independent judiciary and install himself as King of America, but now he’s shooting for King of the World …
Gingrich went a step further, however, promising, to “overhaul the U.S. Foreign Service to get rid of the people who are aggressively pro-abortion and aggressively trying to pressure other governments into adopting pro-abortion positions.”
Oh yeah, we need more starving children. I wonder if Newt can increase his line of credit at Tiffany’s.
Y’all, I lost a bet last night. I had bet a homemade cheesecake that the Republican candidates had bottomed out two weeks ago. That was a dumb bet. There is no OFF button to insane. I gotta write that down somewhere.
I know Rick Perry. Rick Perry thinks that laws should be legislated, not made by courts. I know that because Rick Perry opposes the Texas Democratic Party going to court to try to stop Republican gerrymandering that left Texas looking like a bushel basket of wire coat hangers.
Rick Perry thinks federal courts should stay out of Texas’ business, dammit.
That was before the Irony Zombies ate his brain this morning. This evening they are rubbing their bellies and belching all three of Rick’s IQ points.
Rick Perry was unable to get 10,000 signatures to get on the ballot in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
So, he’s going to federal court to have Virginia’s statute declared unconstitutional.
Perry’s campaign filed suit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District, saying the statutes in Virginia law regulating access to the primary ballot were “among the most onerous in the nation and severely restrict who may obtain petition signatures.”
Now I’ll betcha that if he had gotten enough signatures, he’d think the law was three ways of super dandy.
Duh. Listen up. In Texas, the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeals, and Judges in counties of more than one million people have to get signatures to get on the ballot. Rick didn’t think that’s unconstitutional.
The boy has a hitch In his gitalong. But the oddest part of all this is that he thinks he’ll make it to Virginia. I hope he has a bus ticket.
