Perry says needs federal funds to fight fires. But, but I

[efhmc]

thought Texas needs to secede and I heard that the glorified saint of your party, Ronald Reagan, said the scariest 10 words in the English language are: “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help you.” You stayed at your political event until well after the fires in Texas were raging and the local Austin station said at 4PM yesterday that "We are still waiting to hear from the governor." Yet, you said, once you were on air, "I’ll be real honest with you. I’m not paying any attention to politics right now. There’s plenty of time to take care of that." You made that statement in Bastrop late Monday where you were greeted with applause. In Austin, where the fires had started on Sunday while you played politics in S. Carolina, I think the response would have been different.
So once again, you have shown yourself to be a liar, a hypocrite and an opportunist. In other words the perfect candidate for the corporation party.

1. Give him the funds only if he reiterates Texas's fidelity to the United States.

[efhmc]

3. I and millions of other Texans do not agree with this toad.

Why should we be punished because he has endless amounts of money to win elections?

[WhiteTara]

2. He hates Washington and should call on God

to put out that fire. He is such a hypocrite, he makes me sick. Where is the Texas Guard? Why doesn't he call neighboring states and ask for help? First thing he does is call Washington? Fie on that pos. Sorry Texans that you "voted" in that piece of crap, but you did.

[efhmc]

4. No, about 43% did not.

[Justyce]

6. "We" voted in Perry as much as you voted in Bush....

[efhmc]

7. We need to make sure he gets no further in government.

He works overtime to help oil and gas and their subsidiaries get what they want and need and bends over backwards to take programs and education from people. After all corporation are the backbone of his form of governing. The people are just tools to be used.

11. He scares the shit out of me. I'm in Texas, and

I can't think of anyone who would make a WORSE president than Perry. I knew after Bush got elected that Perry would likely eventually be elected too though. :scared:

What blows my mind is the number of people we know that I thought would know how horrible he has been for Texas, yet have bought into the Fox hype & think he's so great. And some of these people voted for Obama because they thought Bush was awful. I'm tired of arguing with everyone that comes to my house over Perry.... I think I just need to print a handout, LOL

[efhmc]

13. It's not taking Perry seriously that really worried me. No one

took baby bush seriously when he ran against Ann. But tons of money and Carl Rove did us in and we have gone downhill ever since.

[efhmc]

20. Can we really educate these idiots or is it not really worth the

effort?

[Bake]

5. That socialist bastard!

Perry, go pound sand. Or fuck yourself. Whichever comes first.

8. I notice this fire might keep him out of the debate. They have 21 more?

Texas can't afford 21 more disasters to save Perry's ass. He also got out of DeMint's little gathering? How handy.

[efhmc]

9. Hadn't thought of that.He came in after Iowa debate and

now missed another. I can't wait until he actually has to talk "sense" with Romney.

[RaleighNCDUer]

17. Anybody have a bead on Perry's whereabouts

on the day the fires started?

Does he carry a lighter?

[efhmc]

18. Out of the state. But he has a lot of lackeys.

[tanyev]

10. That's my governor, Prick Rerry.

*sigh*

:banghead:

[efhmc]

12. Sadly, I cannot even say that he (unlike bush) is not a real

Texan.

[The Backlash Cometh]

14. This will be a great photo op to put as a backdrop to all the bullshit he says.

[efhmc]

15. He looked kind of shell shocked and kept passing the mike to

people who know what they were talking about. The last shouted question I heard at the press conference was, "Are you asking the federal government for help?" He said, "Yes." and left.

[paparush]

16. Federal $$ used to balance the budget. Federal $$ to fight fires.

Tsk Tsk Mr. Perry.

Better to have 3 days of fasting and prayer and encourage your constituents to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

[efhmc]

19. Since he doesn't believe in global warming and everything is

in God's hand, why do we have such a terrible drought and why did the winds kick up when these fires first started? I don't think God loves Texas any more.

[paparush]

21. Is Shelly Bachman in front of a mic somewhere asking, "Why does God hate Texas?"
