Yep! Confuses politics with sex a right wing fetish., LOL

The nerves are really shining through from you and the rest of the left. I love it! Throw out stupid attempts at jokes when you have nothing else.

The left really is losing it on this site. Very few have any productive posts anymore.

Oh, get serious. There's nothing else to say. Perry hasn't even declared his candidacy yet and you've got a huge b**hner for the guy. So far, there's 18 declared candidates and he is not one of them.

I must say, though, that watching your rabid foaming-at-the-mouth cheerleading is very entertaining.

Really? Who is the one cheerleading for a presidential candidate that isn't even a candidate?

The former Texas A&M University cheerleader has put his yell skills to the test during his stint as Governor, now in its tenth year.

We all know how well it turned out the last time we elected a cheerleader to the Oval Office.

But in the next session of the Texas Legislature, which convened in January 2007, Lone Star lawmakers faced such a sustained outburst of opposition from the public that they decided to back off from the TTC. The debates over bills that would have protected Texans were not complete until nearly the end of the state's biennial session — yet the outcome was forced to wait for Rick Perry to return from Istanbul, where he attended that year’s secret Bilderberg meeting. For the Governor to have left the state near the end of a legislative session was appalling, especially when considering that Texas lawmakers would not meet again for another two years; however, when he returned, Perry vetoed the Corridor’s defeat with no time remaining for the Legislature to appeal the veto.

Perry attended the Bilderberg meeting? I guess that shows where his allegiance is - to big corporations.

Look out, Viking! You've got competition for Perry's attention!

Glenn Beck even described Perry as a man he was so enamored with that he wanted to “French kiss.”

From an interesting article at thinkprogress.org - Top 10 Things Texas Gov. Rick Perry Doesn’t Want You To Know About Him

8- PERRY IS A STIMULUS HYPOCRITE WHO LOUDLY CRITICIZED FEDERAL RECOVERY MONEY BUT USED IT TO BALANCE HIS STATE’S BUDGET: As the nation struggled to avoid economic collapse in 2009, Perry was a vocal critic of Congress’s recovery package, even advocating that Texas reject the money because “we can take care of ourselves.” Months later, after Perry was able to balance the state’s budget only with the aid of billions in federal stimulus dollars, Perry again repeated that he would reject federal funding, arguing that the government “spends money they don’t have.” Five months later, Perry again took advantage of federal funding to issue $2 billion in bonds for highway improvements in Texas. Even so, the state faces a $27 billion budget deficit.

9 - PERRY SAID THAT TEXAS MIGHT HAVE TO SECEDE FROM THE UNITED STATES: One hundred and fifty years ago, Texas and other southern states seceded from the Union, resulting in a bloody Civil War. 148 years later, Perry floated the idea that Texas may again have to secede because of a federal government that “continues to thumb their nose at the American people.” Perry was roundly criticized for his proposal, yet he repeated his threat the next month on Fox News, telling host Neil Cavuto, “If Washington continues to force these programs on the states, if Washington continues to disregard the tenth amendment, who knows what happens.”

How could we trust someone to be President when they have openly advocated secession from the United States?

We could only hope he does....and takes the Viking with him

I don't believe that the majority of Americans would support an anti-evolutionist, pro-creationist candidate.
