Rick Perry, who is perfectly willing to let working families go without health care rather than take money from Washington, DeeCee, and who threatens to secede from the union about once a week because the federal government is evil, evil I tell you, is shuffling around with his hat in his hands.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) on Thursday declared a disaster area and said he planned to request federal funds in response to an explosion at a fertilizer plant in Waco that may have killed as many as 15 people.

At a press conference, the governor thanked President Barack Obama for calling for offer quick action after Wednesday night’s explosion.

Oh yeah, this is the same sumbitch who said that Washington DeeCee is spending our grandchildren into poverty.

I just cannot wait to hear what Ted Cruz has to say about this after he voted against relief for hurricane Sandy victims, pompously proclaiming ….

“This bill is symptomatic of a larger problem in Washington — an addiction to spending money we do not have. The United States Senate should not be in the business of exploiting victims of natural disasters to fund pork projects that further expand our debt.”

Let’s watch these two make political hay out of the victims in West, Texas.  I can promise you that few rungs are gonna get knocked out from under their ladder.

I think this is akin to Senator Rob Portman.  When it’s you ox that’s being gored, it’s a different ballgame.

Perry and Cruz both can kiss my big blue butt.
