I'll have you know that Greg Abbot is an equal or better fraud than Rick Perry! He was a fraud under Perry's watch, and he continues to this day!

Make that any money. Of course, he'd be for it if he could get any.

I suspect he needs his allowance to pay for defense on the Abuse of Power trial in the coming months.

perry has never recovered from putting to death an innocent man and then trying to cover up the fact that perry knew he was innocent.

is the most sublime of joys, because it comes from the heart.

Meanwhile, I just heard a MSM talking head try to pin this failure on Little Ricky's attacking tRump. As if!

I hear Trump pays good minimum wages, but more the white men like him.

But then there's that darned lawsuit pending, Trump would have never hired him.

If not for Citizens United it would be OVER for Perry.

If it weren't for him having a PAC he'd be done.

They said on NPR that having a PAC was like finding an extra bottle of oxygen on a climb of Mount Everest,...but your legs are broken.

It'll keep you going for a while,...but you aren't going anywhere.

To be considered "too dumb to be President," in America,in the aftermath of W, way over a year before the election, now THAT is a stupid candidate.

Rick Perry has set a bar of achievement that is unlikely to be noticed, much less tripped over.

And here I thought the Repukians and their GREEDY BASTARD corporate masters had already turned workers into slaves...

Why the Hell did Perry run for president? Just money-grubbing? Love of having his foot in his mouth?
