Help us all: Secessionist Rick Perry to throw his hat in ring for POTUS
Good fucking grief. What is wrong with people? He is trying to insinuate that Bush was a Democrat????And Texas schools are a mess--how can he even say he can fix the national problem when he can't even fix the state problem.
Forgive me if this has been posted.

He also delivered a not-so-subtle slap at his predecessor, George W. Bush, the last and only Texas governor who went to the White House. He said Republicans lost their way right around the time Bush won the presidency and ‘‘we elected men and women with an R behind their names, and we couldn’t tell whether they were Republicans or Democrats.’’

But Perry also tore a page out of the Bush playbook by hammering robotically on four simple themes — in Perry’s case it’s regulatory restraint, lawsuit curbs, low taxes and school accountability.

‘‘That’s it!’’ he declared. ‘‘Then get out of the way.’’ It’s a slightly more muscular version of Bush’s mantra that government ‘‘ought to do a few things and do them well and that government should not try to be all things to all people.’’

8. There was a time this would make me chuckle
However, I find that I can't laugh at the ridiculous anymore--with the help of the M$M, they can paint that turd and sell it to the people in this country.
