Yay, Perry!!! Go Fighting Texas !!

what “bizzare” comments about the Birth certificate?  Don’t you think it was the reporter who asked the brither question to begin with is the bizzare one?  Honestly….you lefties are trying to pigeon hole Perry as a birther, when it was the reporter who is clearly the birther.

And Perry was spot on, it is really a shame that mediaite didn’t go after Anderson for not actually moderating the debate and making both Mitt and Perry play by the rules….Cooper got what he wanted (a fight) but in the end, CNN lost even more viewers (if you can believe that) because anyone watching that interaction knew that Cooper was just trying to get them to fight, and he wasn’t at all interested in garnering real information and informing the public.

Good for Perry for going on Bill O’s show; as usual, FNC will kick theothers to the curb in the ratings game.

So much for hard hitting. Perry couldn’t answer the question about the revenue shortfall from his radical tax cuts. O’Reilly failed to cite the effect Reagan’s tax cuts had on the deficits and the national debt.

“These debates are set up for nothing more than to tear down the candidates,” Perry replied. That is true Rick when you struggle greatly to speak your native language.

Perry hangs out with and praises Trump the Liar, cites Trump’s lies, and says he ‘doesn’t know’ whether Obama was born in the U.S. and refuses to dismiss Birthers for the lunatics they are.

Perry is a Birther.
Accept it and stop whining and playing media victim for the billionth time.

Well Big Bill had to do a softball interview considering how much he’s been kvetching to get Perry on. After all Bill said his show was the perfect place to come on an rehabilitate Perry’s image. Perry should go on Sean Hannity again and his his salad tossed properly. 

Parry,

Nice try. But for a REAL, gNOpig resurrecting BJ, you have to go with KKKlownnity.

That’s where Moose Boogers, Bat sht Crazy, Sanctorum,  The Hair, 666 Herbs, Cheney, even LIMPO go for a clean job.

You must be new around here Bob-that’s all republicans do on this site on every thread no matter the topic-play the victim.

Its really quite tiresome and boring.  

Nobody’s playing victim.  You’re made because Perry refused to play your stupid game.

Get over it.  

Poor Perry,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,If he can’t handle the race/debates drop out………….

Even If you meant “mad” you would still be wrong in addition to being stupid.

;-)

 He not only played the stupid game.. He won it.. 

Accept it.

With his strong and sensible opposition to domestic marriage Parry proves his critics to be fools.

i didn’t know perry had any supporters remaining. figured they all jumped on the cain bandwagon. 

Hahaha… and now it’s Perry’s turn to blame the media for his incompetence: “all they’re interested in, is stirring up between the candidates”.

Well, if by “stirring up the candidates” you mean “debating”, well, um… yeah.  That’s what we’re interested in when we watch a debate.  We’re interested in seeing you debate policy with other candidates.  If you can’t control your temper during those debates, then that’s a personality defect that you need to live with…

Each time this guy opens his mouth, he just proves he lacks anything close to the level of intellect required to sit is hillbilly ass in the White House.  

This is too much fun to watch!

While he [Parry] did agree that calling Republicans “heartless” on the
immigration issue was “the wrong word,” he persisted that he had been
strong on immigration despite the federal government being “a total and
abject failure.”

The correct words, Mr. Parry, is “dumbsht gNOpigs” and cite numbers from another recent “texan” knee capped by his own gNOpigs. Clue: W.

as a ‘lefty’, i agree that the it’s the reporter’s job to keep this nonsense out of their questioning. but perry also needs to be accountable for his words and shoulder some responsibility as a presidential candidate and squash these things as they are brought up. kinda like he did on CNN today.

if perry can’t handle himself in a republican debate, he’d be destroyed in a general election debate. if he can’t hit a slow pitch softball, who’s naive enough to think he can hit a fastball?

Hey if the teabag fits…

So you’re a Republican talking about Republican candidates? Do go on.

So this guy does not how much revenue his tax plan will produce and this is suppose to be a serious  candidate.

Glad to know that as a Lefty, you care what Righties do.

Your concern has been noted.

So you’re an idiot being stupid? Please continue. 

I do not like people who want to give the federal government power but I also don’t like people who act like they are going to a foreign country when they go to washington.   The bottom line is Washington D.C is the capitol of our nation.    Rick Perry will favor Texas over the rest of the country.    There is not doubt about it.   He already looks at Texas a a country and not a part of the United States.   For this reason I do not want him as President of the United States.

Why have you followed me to this thread? Please go away. Your retardation is not appreciated.

Fact: Perry 2012!!!!

He’s finished and everybody knows it. 

Fact: Silence and control!!!!

Fact: USA has a spending problem not a tax revenue problem!!!! Idiots like you are the ones that are seriously charging right into the next downgrade!!!!

Fact: Arrrrrrhhhh the talking parrot!!!!

Fact: Take the balls out of your mouth when you post!!!!

I really love to see your posts…You sir are a scholar AND a gentleman!

are you implying that you never mention obama in your comments? typical hypocrisy espoused by the right-wing. do go on.

I honestly think he still has a chance especially after Cain collapses — which is inevitable. The anti-Romney vote in the GOP primary is still very high. Over 70%. That could only sympathize w/Perry.

more hypocrisy from WcinWI…keep it comin. if you disagree with my spot-on analysis, feel free to engage. otherwise go crawl back into your fetal position.

as someone so tied to ‘facts’, you sure do have a peculiar way of utilizing the word. you do realize you’re declaring something as ‘fact’ that hasn’t even happened yet (and never will).

Idiots like you don’t understand that you have to know how much revenue is generated before you can determining spending or spending cuts. Get a job so you know how real world functions.

you’re right, he’ll definitely pick up the cain supporters (lunatics) once cain drops out. but that doesn’t negate the fact that perry is a dimwit that holds no chance whatsoever in a general election vs. obama. any independent or moderate will easily gravitate towards obama as long as perry is the candidate.

You can’t get around the fact that Perry said, voluntarily, today, in public, on TV, that he finds it “fun” to go after the president on the birtherism theme. You can’t get around that, because PERRY said that: HE used the word “fun”. Go back and look at the earlier clip on Mediaite. That’s what he said.

And no one can get around the fact that birthers mean the attack as a substitute for the word we mean by saying the ‘the n-word’. 

It’s not necessary to struggle or pretend to struggle with whether or not Perry “is” a birther or has somehow “adopted” birtherism. The simple fact that he admits he finds it “fun” to indirectly go after the president as the word that ‘the n-word’ stands for is more that enough. He could be in Cool Hand Luke, standing over the road gang with a shotgun in his hands, and it saying the word we all mean when we say ‘the n-word’, grinning the whole time, and it would be no different.

Fact: fact remains the same just a fact!!!

Fact: Quit spending and you need no revinue!!! Tea Party has many good recomendations on this topic!!! Live under GDP is the way of life!!! Less government means less spending!!!

I recognize you may be well-intentioned, but that’s not accurate. Perry cannot be labelled a Birther. What he can be labelled is someone who finds that it’s “fun” for him to use the reference to Birtherism to tease the President, because he has said exactly that. Again, Birtherism is a euphemism, a stand-in, a cut-out, a proxy, a dog whistle, whatever you want to call it, for saying the President is the thing we mean when we use ‘the n-word’. Perry is saying it’s fun to tease the President calling him that thing, while hiding behind the thin brush cover of it being somehow different from using the n-word.

Perry seems to at least for now be taking the advise of new campaign strategist Joe Allbaugh to heart, which is take 2-3 key issues and stay completely focused on those issues, which is how Allbaugh (and Rove) ran Bush’s campaign back in 2000.

But Allbaugh’s only been on the job for two days, and over his 10 years as governor Rick Perry never showed the ability to stay on message the way Bush did during his six years in Austin. So odds are better than 50-50 even if he gets his flat tax plan up and running this week, he’s going to step on his message with some new gaffe at the next debate that has people talking about everything but what the Perry campaign wants to discuss.

So thumbs up or thumbs down on this appearance tonight, overall?  (Primarily interested in conservative opinion on this one.)

If this Clown from Texas could manage to pull his foot out of his mouth and get the nomination that would be GREAT!

Obama will beat this Texas Clown in a landslide!!!

Get this guy the nomination TeaBagger Death Cult Clowns!!!

Perry wasn’t there when Obama was born! Now he’s a witness or a notary public?

Empty suit!

So, your gNOpigs boyfriends have not fed you today?

I just gave you a pity “like,” just so you don’t starve today but linger gasping to see how stupid you’ll be tomorrow.

I am hoping you are going to make it until then.

 LOL
Keep telling yourself that.
Perry’s Birther candidacy is finished. This blow-dried cowboy is going to have his butt handed to him by someone as lame Mitt Romney.

I think you wrongly assume Perry has the intelligence to come up with that strategy.  I think he’s dumb enough to actually be a Birther, but is trying to downplay it when it blew up in his face.

Fact:  Rick Perry bears an eerie resemblance ESPN’s Chris Fowler

Fact:  Rick Perry bears an eerie resemblance ESPN’s Chris Fowler

He’s got all that he needs: tons of money, tons of proof that the overwhelming majority of Republican voters do not want Romney as their nominee, a GOTV team, and a bunch of other candidates who lack money or lack a GOTV team who are going to drop off and free up their votes. He’s got a simple plan: Be consistent in Not Being Romney. That might not work – but on the other hand, it could.

One of the things one has to understand about Perry is that he’s been in lots and lots of elections and never ended up losing. In some of those elections, things looked completely hopeless for him, way worse than things are looking for him now here in this one. A lot about winning is just showing up, and he always shows up; in the school of electoral politics, he gets consistent straight As for showing up. If the GOP really means it when they say anyone on the stage can beat Obama, then it comes down to whether a plurality of them are prepared to give that sure win to Romney. I don’t think anyone really agrees with that outside of the sliver group of enthusiastic Romney supporters, so, maybe a quarter of GOP voters. That COULD mean 75% of the GOP are prepared to go to the wall in order to make sure this ‘ft’ goes to Anyone But Romney, which means the last man standing not named Mitt. Perry figures he has a reasonable chance to be that man, given all that money and organization he has.

Whether or not it actually happens, it’s not irrational to think that Cain and Gingrich are going to have trouble early on once the voting in the primaries gets going, such that one or both drops out. A lot of pundits say so, and believe it. Pundits can be wrong, and HAVE been wrong in the past. But if you look a what Perry did, just this week, he added experienced senior long campaign managers, a whack of them, including the guy who actually ran the younger Bush’ first presidential campaign, who obviously thinks this is not irrational, to say the least.

Against all that, of course, is that THIS RNC party IS irrational. But keep in mind that at this point in 2007, McCain was done like dinner.

You do realize if if GDP was at 1% you would still need revenue. So not sure how you could live under GDP with no revenue, but that must have escaped you razor sharp mind. Do you know what the term actually means?.I know you cannot spell revenue- just the facts

Once again it’s the lame stream media’s fault that Republican candidates look like idiots.  How dare they?!

hey, easy on the exclamation points. your keyboard must hate you.

It’s the one thing he’s gotten better than a C in.

I can’t say I blame you.

Says the person always talking about Democrats. Cognitive dissonance abounds.

Good read here that is tangentially related.

. A lot about winning is just showing up, and he always shows up; in the school of electoral politics, he gets consistent straight As for showing up.

Too bad they weren’t giving straight As for showing up when he was in college.

I agree. The one thing that could actually help him against Obama in the GE (immigration) is one that’s dooming him in the GOP primary. Have to love those dynamics. The GOP can not beat Obama w/o a significant boost from hispanics. Bush would have lost to Kerry in 2004 w/today’s GOP hispanic numbers.

It goes a bit further: quite a bit of what Perry said there is actual what Keynes said, that depending on the circumstances, at a particular point in time getting people back to work is more important than worrying about growing the deficit.

Actually, that’s what Obama himself has been saying for several months, now, and in fact is what he’s campaigning on.

We all SUSPECT the Perry Plan will depress tax revenue overall thus increase the deficit, but it’s not unreasonable to wait for the beancounters to figure out whether that’s true and how much. In the case of Obama, that means sending his bills, like the STIM and the ACA Obamacare bill, and this more recent Jobs bill, to the GOA for its independent non-partisan scoring. The GOA said the ACA would decrease the rate of growth in the deficit once it’s fully implemented, which is to start in 2013. The GOA STILL says that, in scoring the Ryan Plan which seeks to overturn the ACA. The GOA this fall has said the Jobs bill would result in a net increase of not just jobs but tax revenue. So, there’s your scoring.

In the case of Perry, neither his Plan, nor his Plan plus his Energy Plan, will be submitted to the GOA, because the GOA scores tabled bills, and none of Romney, Cain or Perry has tabled a bill to the House or to the Senate or sent a plan to Congress from the White House. Ryan, on the other hand, did do that, just by having the bill introduced to the House, even tho Boehner says the Republican majority is not serious about implementing it “at this time”. Just that introduction got the Ryan Plan scored, and it failed miserably.

Instead, the Perry Plan, like the Cain Plan was, will be considered by various tax policy think tanks in Washington DC and New York, and ‘scored’ that way. The Cain Plan has failed that process already. We don’t actually know what those think tanks will do to the Perry Plan in the way of scoring it, but Billo is guessing, and I expect most here also are expecting that it will fail.

But keep in mind that Obama’s STIM plan by necessity was scored by the GOA to fail, in relation at least to the deficit and nothing more. If the Perry Plan works like the STIM, that would be great, because then the economy would recover and we could pay the price down the line. Indeed, note where Billo concedes that the Perry Plan would indeed have some stimulative effect.

But Perry is not calling his Plan a STIM, presumably because that’s too evil socialist. He’s calling a Tax Reform, which by definition should IMPROVE the ability of the government to reduce the deficit, among other things. That is, the only thing Billo at least anticipates in such think-tank scoring is a slight STIM, with an even bigger deficit and debt. THAT in turn has been the GOP talking point in attacking the Obama STIM: you got some bang for those bucks, but it was too little. So, Billo is saying that Perry is, by design, introducing what the GOP calls the Obama plan.

Frances Martel said Perry looked very good in this interview, the best he has for a while. He kind of does,  but mostly because he stuck with his guns against Billo in staying with a Plan that suffers from all the defects the Congressional Republican caucus has claimed the Obama STIM had. So, looks can deceive.

You’re entitled to your own opinion, but leave me out of it.

What? Perry is against marriage between people who propose to live together?

My recent comments haven’t mentioned Obama. That is correct.

I didn’t talk about Hillary vs. Obama in the 2008 election cycle. Or any of the other candidates.

One on one debate with Obama I think Obama wipes the floor with Perry.I don’t think Perry could string 2 sentences together that make sense.
Gingrich on the other hand would wipe the floor with Obama. Too bad that Newt has the personal baggage that hinders his run even though he’s quietly moving up in the polls.

This is why you comment on Mediaite instead of engage in actual society. Would you ever walk up to someone on the street and talk to them like you do on here? If so, odd.

Ima tell y’all a story ’bout a man name Rick
A coyote shooter tryin to make his state all sick
Then one day he was out checking traps
And out of the blue he came up craps

Oh yeah; black gold; Texas tea …

Well the kin folks said to Rick while on his run
Perry grab your wife and son & go to Washington
Said the DC Beltway is the place you oughtta be
So he loaded up the Hummer & moved his family

White House; Watergate; business suits; cable stars … 

The N***erhead Hillbillies.

Fact: October 25, 2011.

yes, as a matter of fact i do. my schooling and subsequent employment have taught me how to properly engage in meaningful dialogue, which most of you on the right would know nothing about.

stop projecting your misgivings onto me. i’m too smart for you.

HA! ‘recent’ comments. say no more.

I believe he is opposed to all marriages within the continental US… Marriage should be between a man and a women and a foreign government.

Fact: Now you are talking. Next you cut entitlements and programs that aren’t being used as advertised!!!! Correct there is no need to spell revenue sinse it’s not needed as first resort to right the economy in this case. Just the facts!!!

Fact: Sink or swim before you make it back to the Hyperion
plant. Certainly tomorrow they will release you with a much cleaner thoughts
when you mature!!!

Well played.

Well played.

Since you are obviously a fan of mr.obama I will forgive your desire to play God the Almighty since you are only copying your idol.It is quite sad that those like yourself are allowed to walk the streets and worst of all,vote.

Thats really idiotic to make Perry the nominee by default…will insure an obama win.

not going to happen…Romney will get the nomination and wipe the floor with obama….watch,listen and learn

Texas doesn’t have income tax, they have sales tax. what are these fools talking about.  Perry is a Keynsian.  Ron Paul 2012

Never. Cain is not qualified to be President.

The illegal stuff I can understand people being mad (and I will not tell you how I feel), but not the above cooment. I wanted to move South and cede when Obama was elected. He is Mugabe lite.

You are going to find out that this has nothing to do with where Obama was born, but rather if his parents were married – which I never think they were. Even if they got married here, they were not legally married – Barack Sr. had a wife in Kenya at the time.

See above comment.
