Rick Perry: No More Mr. Nice Guy....
The Republican Party, well known for its inclusiveness and willingness to accommodate all points of view, even willing to go so far as to "curry favor", is going to have to stop playing softball, according Texas Gov. Rick Perry.

"Our party cannot be all things to all people," thundered Perry, "It can't be. Our loudest opponents on the left are never going to like us, so let's stop trying to curry favor with them."


I guess you gotta do what you gotta do. CNN

3. Projection is a technique used by Republicans. Take something
they are guilty of themselves. However make it a big
whoop by acusing Democrats of doing it.

4. It's enough being the water carriers for the rich and Big Business I guess.
Screw the rest of the nation, right Rick?

9. What the fuck?
Edited on Sat Jun-18-11 10:34 PM by Youth Uprising
This is like staring into bizarro land. I swear, they take every meme, every argument, every complaint, every talking point (from the left), distort it, and make them their own, except these assholes are far more successful in framing the debate and getting people to actually listen to them.
