Rick Perry returned home to Texas to try to deal with the wildfires that are raging throughout the state. It's a good thing he neutered the Texas Forest Service and Volunteer Fire Departments by cutting their budgets by $34m(33%) and $23m(75%) respectively. That will surely help the state fight the fires. Now, he's had to ask for FEMA to come in since his state isn't capable of helping itself because it refused to adequately fund its fire-fighting agencies despite knowing that it was in a historic drought.

Who needs nukes when you have Republicans.
How come all that praying hasn't helped? WTF does god have against Texas?
too many Hispanics there.
Maybe He's just working his way up to smiting Texas as a whole if they don't get themselves straight.
...or God may be too busy blowing the hurricanes to hit the democratic states on the East.
This is shaping up to be quite a cringeworthy election. Obama's low poll number aren't making it any more interesting either.
President Rick Perry.
Jesus feck.
Jesus feck.
How long will it be before he reverts back to type and rallies against the size of the federal government?
When's his next campaign speech?
The debate is tonight.
the Republican moron candidates are debating.
so far..
we need to get rid of welfare to help the poor.
get rid of social security as it is....
get rid of the Health Care law and leave it to private insurance.
reduce the minimum wage to help people get jobs.
A part of me still pathetically hopes that Ron Paul still stands the slightest of chances.
Yes I know he's still batshit insane and his economic policies make as much sense as Tofu, but heck it'll allow the rest of the world to breathe for a second.

I would like to see the following headlines tomorrow:
"Micro-meteor storm tears through Reagan Library. Only Huntsman survives. Still loses to Romney, who was initially dead, but changed his stance."
"Torrential downpours end Texas drought. Month's worth of rain falls on wildfires overnight."

When Ron Paul isn't stammering he sounds like an aging queen.
Perry has made thoughtful reduction in Education cuts.....
to help students of course.
to help students of course.
Agreed.
Then if he'd presided over the economy turning around Reagan would have been elected even in 1984.
And we'd still have regulatory agencies that regulated.
And we would not now have the media problems we now have, especially Fox "News", because without Reagan in power the Fairness Doctrine would not have been abandoned, therefore Fox couldn't exist.
Paul speaks against the money in politics, but he often votes in a corporate friendly manner.
He wouldn't do anything to harm corporate power; he doesn't believe in most regulations.
Rick Perry. That's he has against Texas.
I met the man a few weeks ago. Was having breakfast with my dad, realized the next table was all Secret Service, vehicle pulls up out front, and the douchebag himself steps out.
And he came right in and shoved his hand in our faces, chewing gum with his mouth open.
He's a douchebag. A Grande Mal Douchebag. He doesn't just play one on tv.
If there's a god he's heard the Douchebag's prayers, and responded with "You want rain? RESIGN! No! Not run for president! It doesn't even rhyme!"
As soon as he is out of office there will probably be rain like hasn't been seen in years.
the general American public cannot face honesty.
Romney came closest to honestly addressing the illegal immigrant problem.
Its the employers of illegals.
both parties are guilty here. If such employers were imprisoned (which Romney did not say of course) would we have the problem? no one will want to risk going to prison to hire illegals.

Very true. Immigration is one of those topics pols will talking endlessly, even passionately about, but never do anything necessary to fix it because it will define their legacy, and possibly end their career.
No matter what is done about it either the voters or the wealthy will be angry.
That's only since they've been getting less and less of it.
1950 they could handle baldfaced truth.
These days it's all about emotion and ratings.
I can't stop watching this.
Watching these people in action is the strangest thing. They're all retards.
I can't imagine Obama wouldn't be able to destroy any of these.. people. In a debate. It's the US, anything can happen election-wise.

all discussions have been dumb down. heck you have Fox which is really for the most stupid people...I mean I can understand that as increased inbreeding does drive down IQ.
btw Can we ever see the type of a Brian Walden interviewing in this country?
when Perry was asked about Texas having such high executions...the applause was deafening.
this is the difference between those inbreds there and the general public.
Obama must be rubbing his hands watching these numbskulls...
none of them is fit to clean his shoes.

I noticed that too. I didn't watch for long, but that got the biggest applause of the part I saw. It was revolting.
And apparently, innocent people are never/have never been executed in Texas. It's a bit like the Bible, I guess. If they were executed, they must have been guilty, since Texas only executes guilty people.

i want Perry to win the nomination of course. But if Romney wins, he will come out as a huge flip flopper because he has supported almost everything Obama has done.
I shut it off halfway.
Perry's screwed about SS. He's also screwed because he can't think on his feet. That answer to GW was absolutely hilarious.
Right now, Huntsman could challenge Obama in the general. But he won't last past the South Carolina primary.

Um...5th generation Texan, me. No inbreeding.
But yes. That being an applause line was sickening.
And more applause when Perry said he lost no sleep over the idea that anyone executed may have been innocent.
Especially since it's been proven that at least one of the recent executions was of an innocent man. Perry refused a hearing, in spite of new evidence that proved the man innocent. Not cast doubt on guilt; proved innocence.
I agree that some crimes should forfeit the life of the guilty, but the process of proving it is too hit or miss, and can't usually be trusted with such stakes. And if the guy with final say is so intent on being dogmatic that he effectively murders someone then maybe the death penalty is just too dangerous.
Perry, with the emotional maturity of a 13 year old, has the power of life and death over people. That's chilling.
I think, in general, any executive, be they a governor, or president, who refuses a stay, or commuting of sentence, or a pardon, in the end must perform the execution themselves. Let's see how committed they are.
tell me chris...is the air and water as clean as Perry makes out in Texas?
No.
I don't live there, either, but most of my family does. The impression I've formed is that there's barely any water, and most of the air is full of dust or ash.
My father and stepmother came to visit in here in New England, and were amazed by plants that weren't brown.
Absolutely nothing is as good in Texas as Perry says. Nothing. Schools are in decline, poverty is increasing, maybe not by numbers but in severity. Drought. Fire.
And the Governor is an idiot.

Why watch the morons. I would rather take a dump and wash my hair.....and I am bald and constipated.
And please pardon me if talking about Prick Erry brings out a tendency in me to rant. I have a passionate spite for him, and it makes me angry that anyone applauds him.
we had friends who moved to San Antonio from Minnesota...cause the housing is cheaper apparently. I would never move to a bloody Republican state for one.
They have two young kids and all. what can you do.
and please pardon my insults when I think of these people wanting to turn this country into states in the south where everything is going downhill.
