Rick Perry is enjoying vast support from the right for last night's ridiculous claim. Some here were predicting that this would hurt Perry in the GOP primary - not a chance.

If they HATE SOCIAL SECURITY this much - think about how much they hate the rest of the government.

If you are not going to support Obama this is what you will get.

1. Santelli is the inverse of some of the Obama haters on this board.

2. "I'm done, I feel good."

So you're a happy, guy, right Ricky?

[dkf]

3. Do you think "your question is idiotic" is a good defense of social security?

This wasn't a very good exchange.

4. If Rick Perry would have said we should burn the Constitution

people would have applauded him

[90-percent]

5. Question

Has there ever, since the dawn of recorded history, been a ponzi scheme that has been successful for over seventy five years?

just wondering...my impression is they are not long lived, but i could be wrong. Madoff got away with it for perhaps 20 years?
