[johncoby2]

Governor calls on Republican voters to resign from State Government.

"It is only fair that teachers and state employees who voted Republican should be the first to lose their tax funded jobs."

in your dreams....

1. Perry is either losing his mind or he thinks that his constituents

have lost theirs. At some point it would seem that Texas voters would realize that their Governor is not leading them well.

30. It sounds like the onion

[The Backlash Cometh]

35. Maybe it's true. Maybe the worst thing that a politician can do to himself is believe

his own shit?

[Fumesucker]

2. Seems reasonable to me.. n/t

[Lucky Luciano]

8. Sure. One of the few nonhypocritical things he ever said.

Doubt it will win him many elections though.

3. K&R- This should become a nationwide movement...if you don't believe in government,

don't work for the government at any level, and don't use ANY government programs, such as Social Security and Medicare, public schools, roads and bridges. Come on GOPers, stand up for your beliefs and show everyone how you feel!!!11!!

Probably be a stampede of them giving up their government pensions, too...:rofl:

4. Then Goodhair should lead by example.

[SammyWinstonJack]

34. He should!

[LiberalFighter]

5. Considering that Texas has been under Republican control for how long??

Over 15 years and what have they accomplished in that time under their control?

And how does Bush become President when the only elected office he held was Governor for less than 6 years?

[Bonhomme Richard]

6. That should also go for those that work for military contractors. n/t

[DCKit]

21. And the military.

We could stand to shed a lot of the creepy Xtian influence.

[Statistical]

23. There is no lawful method to "quit" the military. n/t

[DCKit]

24. The scary ones at the top could probably resign any time they felt like it.

I refer to those who have infiltrated our military with an Xtian agenda, and have been busy converting our military to Crusaders for Jebus.

[Bonhomme Richard]

29. I met a guy where I keep the sailboat raging about Obama being a

socialist. This guy has a 42' cabin cruiser that he bought with money he earned while he works for Lockheed writing proposals for them to get government jobs. He just doesn't get that the taxpayers payed for that boat. The disconnect is unreal.
Also a big Palin supporter. Go figure.

[blogslut]

7. Oh really?

Does that mean Mr. Perry will start self-paying that $10,000 a month the taxpayers shell out for his temporary housing? And how about that $115,000 a year salary he gets from the state? Is he going to refuse that?

[Skink]

22. Seems like permanent housing now.

[MilesColtrane]

9. Funny.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

10. Um isn't this some kind of satire?

[mainer]

11. This is satire. Right? Right?

[cherish44]

13. Yeah it's satire

[SpiralHawk]

12. OK, Repubbies - quit today, but don't go looking for help from any Americans

Pull yourselves up by your own steenkin Pink Slip.

[ck4829]

14. "Quit your job and spend the next 6 months (at least) looking for another one!"

Because that will really help the economy. :sarcasm:

[WinkyDink]

15. Am I the only "Francis" not amused by Lounge-y threads on GD?

[cherish44]

16. This kind of sorts out who reads the actual article and who doesn't...

It was the "sucking on the government tit..." part that made me think, maybe this wasn't real

[WinkyDink]

17. Same here, but I'm done with "Gotcha!"

[mainer]

18. +1

I come here to read real news. I hate wasting my time on satire.

[Zephie]

19. Sounded reasonable, but the use of over 9000 tipped me off to the satire

It's funny when people comment before they read things.

[DCKit]

20. Either Gov. Goodhair is using toxic mousse...

or he's got come real pinheads for advisers.

I'm betting all three.

[Shagbark Hickory]

25. That's called putting your money where your mouth is. I have to give props to him for this.

He should also resign of course.

[WhiteTara]

26. I thought that was from Onion News

going on that basis, Perry should resign.

[TicketyBoo]

27. Governor: Come on,

loyal Republicans — give up your government jobs.

Teachers: Okay, Governor. You go first.

[SlimJimmy]

28. Labels: gop hypocrisy, Humor, satire

It's a a shame we have to wade through the article to find out it is BS.

[UTUSN]

31. This is too good to be true. Clues to SATIRE

Grammatical errors and breezy abbreviations: "Texas Gov ask Republican voters to quit their state jobs" (askS)

Giveaway: "Labels: gop hypocrisy, Humor, satire"



Besides, while Goodhair is no stranger to saying bizarre things, he is far more estranged from Truth.

[onenote]

33. Biggest Clue: Its dated Monday January 25, 2011

Hint: Look at a calendar.

32. I appreciate satire that makes Repukes sound reasonable, because then they have to spin

and convince people that they really aren't.

This would be a good message to come from Governor Dayton of Minnesota, with the GOP-led legislature proposing state job cuts.

[donheld]

36. This Governor who voted republican and has a government job needs to resign

He should set the example.
