I don't know about that, but he sure accepted the bogus austerity argument in a hurry after the midterms.

The same reason they call the president a socialist for no reason.

I'll admit his solutions are reasonable compromises to fierce opposition, but he seems to cave in even when has public opinion on his side.

We should also go back to that windshield glass that decapitates you as you go through. Damn regulations are robbing us of decapitations!

But the greed and power lust. They just can't help putting themselves in the spotlight so that everybody knows how stupid, uneducated, and unsophisticated they are. More laughter, more paranoia; it's a viscious cycle.

It's amazing that, given all the economic problems we have in this country, Rick Perry manages to focus in on the one we don't - inflation. Aside from the yo-yoing of oil prices, there's been very little inflation over the last few years. Something about massive unemployment tends to depress prices, for some reason.

Hey, to be fair, he gave us healthcare reform that doesn't kick in for another 5 years and Wall Street reform that does nothing.

I've been telling you all that Rick is one large goat fucker. This is the kind of crap I and other progessive (hell, we're liberal) Texans have been dealing with for years.

The one nice thing about Governor Shitstain getting all Pres-e-dential is that he's not in Austin dreaming up ways to fuck with us locals.

The truth is Karl Rove and Grover Norquist are pleased, and the New Apostolic Reformation are very pleased.

You were faster on the draw, sorry for the thematic rerun a few posts down.

You don't leave your change on the bar with characters like this. Completely amoral.

I think we could look the other way, just this once. Of course, even if Texas did secede, their stupid ass governors would probably still try to run for president. Morans.
