Governor, “Oops” is a Better Answer
Okay, so Governor Rick Perry is hinting that “other individuals” will soon be along the Texas border to “secure it.” Nobody seems to know who those “other individuals” are and I pretty much think that everybody is afraid to ask.
The Texas Democratic congressfolks have asked Attorney General Greg Abbott to please, please, please not let Rick Perry send a bunch of guys with survivalist equipment that they are just hopped up ready to use, because we’re pretty sure that’s exactly what he’s pondering on doing.
As recently as this weekend, Perry is still insisting that “over 3,000 homicides by illegal aliens over the course of the last six years” is a dead solid true statement but it’s absolutely not.
So when he was confronted to come up with facts to explain why he keeps saying something that everybody knows is 100% wrong, Perry had this answer:
“And let me go back to those numbers,” Perry told Crowley. “You know, what is the — what are the number of — I do stand by them, by the way, but what are the number of homicides that are acceptable to those individuals? How many sexual assaults do we have to have before the president of the United States and Washington, D.C., acts to keep our citizens safe?”
Duh. Double dog duh. How many Texans have to be killed by a gun held by a United States citizen before Rick Perry acts? Apparently a freekin’ lot.
How many children have to die without health care before Governor Rick Perry accepts federal funds for Medicaid? A bunch.
Rick Perry should be the last bullfrog on earth asking quantitive questions.
Just say Oops.
“before the president of the United States and Washington, D.C., acts to keep our citizens safe?”
That’s a weird sentence; does Perry think D.C. is not part of the U.S.?
1Rick is obviously using Karl Rove Math.
Oops.
2Sadly, I see the possibility of something horrible happening like I know a toddler will stuff french fries in their mouth. Rick wants to be president so badly he’s retreated (if he ever left) to delusional teabagger world with militias.
Nothing good will come of it—-except someone having to give Rick a job at the local Fox affiliate when his WH hopes are crushed.
3Let this a-hole loose along the border and he’ll be shooting them as they cross the Rio Grande!

Chris Mapp calls himself a Christian … in a pig’s eye … given half a chance Chris Mapp would be a murderer of children and women ’cause he don’t want those damned “wetbacks” coming over here!!
And … he thinks the President is a “… socialist son-of-a-bitch” and he ain’t backing down from that!!
Texas Republicans are lunatics for sure!!
4@angela – FAUX won’t hire Ricky because he can’t string a sentence together. Oh, wait. They hired Palin. Never mind.
Remember all the “men” (boys playing with guns) at Clive Bundy’s? My guess is they are coming here.
5How many innocent people does Texas have to execute before the death penalty is abolished? How many towns have to lose their drinking water before fracking is regulated? I could keep going.
6Perry the Dick = post turtle
7You really think Abbott cares? He’d prolly be down there whoopin’ it up with his buddies. Besides, everyone knows that war is good for the economy. I can’t keep up with yard sign paintings.
8Fear mongering is pRick’s game and he hopes the sight of him in a flak jacket behind some guns will drive voters to think of him as The Great Protector. It may just have the opposite effect as he drives minority voters far, far away. He is playing to the bagger base, but it won’t wash in a general election.

Origuy, front page report in the Washington Post today about a man executed in TX for setting a fire that killed his three little children. Turns out the only informant was given early release for testifying, said he was coached, and guess what, maybe it wasn’t arson after all. Well, too late, Rick Perry waved all that aside and had the man executed anyway.
