Huffpo's thoughts on a Republican. :whiste:
You might as well ask infowars or freerepublic what they think of a Dem.

However....

I'm willing to concede the man appears to be quite an analog to Bush in several ways, and this is a bad thing.

The talking points memo must have went out to attack Rick Perry this weekend.. seems like all you loyal soldiers have gotten the message.

That's what politics is all about, baby. It's got nothing to do with how smart you are, how qualified you are, or your record.

It's just a popularity contest.

One's crap is another's perfume. Head to Texas instead off regurgating Den talking points. That way you can learn first hand the truth outside the beltway

I'm a Texas resident, and I have to tell you, Perry is a complete tool.

We may as well elect an animatronic figure from Disneyland as president.

What troubles me about elections is I have no good choices. In looking to find someone to vote for, one has to reach pretty damn far. Even then it may not be enough.

His similarities to Bush are quite concerning. One cannot trust a person who simply became a conservative in response to the tea party. Momentary pandering does not overcome a lifetime of mistakes in refrence to one's character and political decisions.

The angle of this attack, college records, do not concern me.

Q: How did Rick Perry get elected?
A: The same way Rod Blagojovich got elected.

The only difference is the party letter next to the name.

Got'ta agree with Jaskalas on all points here.

Whatever Perry lacks in the finer points of getting good grades in school he more than made up for it in his ability for getting good vote counts at the polls.....at the state level. Nationally, probably not.

It seems to me that he's a more polished version of Bush, and I'm not complimenting him in any way when I say that.

That said, the more I see and hear of him, the more he appears to be another puppet like Bush was. Charming in a folksy kind of way but less than able to carry his own weight.

He'll probably inherit the same political machine that got Bush elected twice, but like Bush said, "Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

However, like Bush, I bet Perry would be a really great guy to have a beer with and talk about the good 'ol days. The guy seems to know how to have a good time. It's in his face. It's in his manner.

Because other retards vote and elected him... :(

Exactly.

The sad unconscious self haters that vote Republican have a death wish for all of us. They vote for this asshole precisely for who he is, another potential disaster like the real disaster called Bush. Do not be amazed that folk could possibly be so stupid as to vote for this moron. They have a deep motivation to find somebody exactly like him. He matches what they feel they deserve. Fundamentalist religionists full of guilt and the foreboding of evil, always worship the devil. It's part of the psychosis of self hate.

look at how stoopid this guy is:

i cant believe that anyone would vote for and idiot like this. he would supposedly be one of the leading candidates for president. how could anyone think that a person like this (or a palin, bachman, etc...) would be more capable than obama?

You don't see the irony in berating someone's grades with a post that looks like it was written by a 5th grader?

I was pretty indifferent to Perry as governor, but I like him for president. It'd be a lot like getting another term of Bush, and I loved Bush all the way through.

I guess then the difference between a D and an R is that the D is looking at a 300 year sentence to prison and the R may run for President. I guess the two parties have different ways of dealing with scum.

A three day old popcorn fart would be more capable as president than this Fool, Bobo, the Post Turtle.

Yeah we send people to jail who are convicted of crimes and we don't send people who haven't been convicted to jail. That black mold in the basement is starting to make you even dumber.
