Bein' President's hard work. Much harder and a lot less rewarding than catching a really big perch.

"I would say the best moment of all was when I caught a 7.5-lb. perch in my lake. (Answering a reporter who asked him to name the best moment of his Presidency.)" ― George W. Bush

Republicans are for some reason extra stupid from Texas. We just don't like being second best at anything and that totally kills us when repukes are in charge.

Glad you're here! We could add several more if you merely wanted to list some of the members of the congressional delegation. But I'd say it'd be a few million idiots in Texas. They'd be the Texas voters who found these assholes somehow fit for public office.

Please pray for us, think of us, send good vibes, whatever is your practice. We (Texas Dems) need all the help we can get with idiots like Perry in charge.

McCrory is currently the governor of NC. I dream of the day he will be gone, but I have no choice but to wait. He is horrible too.

No, still can't see it, but it says that if Perry and Bush were twins, Bush would be called the smart one.

Oct 2014

"Fool me once, shame on ... shame on you. Fool me... You can't get fooled again!"

And not, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."

It's because psychopaths can't take blame for anything they've ever done that's considered negative. They have no shame. They'll gladly bask in the limelight and take credit for accomplishments that they might not have done, but to take the blame for something bad is considered a great weakness in their mind.

Remember bush’s port fiasco? In the end his handlers said that bush knew nothing about the attempted sale. Of course bush knew, after all, it was his idea, but being the psychopath that he is, he couldn't take blame because that would have been shameful.

Never have any smarts, both tried or are trying to decide the American way of life. Now R. Perry wants to follow in G. Bush steps to see if he can outdo and accomplish what Bush didn't.
