Since all Perry can do anymore is run for president, this reeks of a Rovian-RINO/liberul false flag cooked up to keep Perry from embarrassing the GOP in the primaries. Fucking libtards.

Perry has kept Texas safe from liberal policies like gun-control, access to abortions, and high standards for capital punishment. For certain values of "safe".

After #41 lost to Bill Clinton I thought that there was slim chance that anyone else from the Bush clan would ever be elected President. We know how that turned out.

Unless Perry is somehow related to the 37th President, who really did engage in executive overreach.

Well, Reagan's stylist has been "between gigs" for awhile now.

Too soon?

Mine has a pasteboard cover made from recycled organic banana peels and is printed with soy ink. The pages are bound together with hemp thread. All of the materials are locally-sourced, of course, and the agenda was assembled by workers in a union shop which has free on-site day care and pays its female and male workers exactly the same.

<em>“the criminalization of political disagreement,”</em>

Disagreement? A disagreement is saying he wanted funding to go to X and funding went to Y.

He threatened to shut down an entire section of government because he wanted an <em>elected</em> official to resign. The only reason he did this was because he couldn't just fire her. That's not a disagreement - that's extortion (the "x" makes it sound cool).

Oh, I kinda think he signed that a few years back, when he "Oopsed" on the debate stage.

<i>and so we will not be treated to the spectacle of Rick Perry in an orange jumpsuit, darn it.</i>

Yet.

Austin, where conservatives feel like a bar of soap in a mosh pit during monsoon season in western dumbfuxkinstan, doesn’t give a shit about a Republican governor who doesn’t know his asshole from his nostril even though he probably spends equal time in each orifice to the gay abotioning liberal agenda. Nor can the capital city be described as more pissed off than tiny bladdered senior citizen in a traffic jam to Perry for his part over the last decade in keeping Texas safe from rational thought. Democrats hold not one single statewide office in Texas. You can see from any political perspective how the very mention of Perry’s name in Austin might bring on brain hemorrhaging, if not projectile vomiting.

Fixed.
