I thought it interesting that Romney and Perry didn't want to talk about Irene, after all can't praise President Obama for anything. Straight to Obama bashing as if that is a jobs plan or does anything for America.

Then they all want to jump to the debt as if they think that cut to the poor and tax cuts to the rich cures all ills and that is the way God would want it and sent an earthquake so Bachmann would know.

I think that the drought in Texas and the unanswered prayers from God for rain is telling us that all of American will dry up and blow away if we elect Scarry Perry or any republican as president.

          I think it's Obama and Dick Cheney are distant cousins.

          Once again, Chris Christie was the only Republican willing to be honest and praise the government and FEMA in disaster management and relief. As with Christie saying he is tired of the far-right crazies, this is one reason he didn't want to run for president.

          And then there's Yosemite Sam Perry... who, when he released his book FED UP! nine months ago said that if he was planning to run for president, he wouldn't have written the book. The Apostles and their modern revelation helped to convince Perry to change his mind. Now he must defend the crazy crap he wrote in his book--and his hypocritical record including receipt of many, many government handouts such as disaster relief. BTW, another lie from Perry who complained that he received Fed assistance for only 35 wildfires, when the truth is Perry requested assistance for only 35 fires and was granted assistance for all of those 35 fires.

          There's not enough free press watch dogs to track all the chicken crap from Perry and Bachmann alone--the two have already created a pile a mile high. I'd suspect it is their "strategery" to spew their bile so fast no one can stay up with it if I thought they were smart enough to have "strategery."

          Too bad maybe like JS1 they were disappointed that not enough people died and the storm was not bad enough for her. Seven states, 64 million people, people still flooded out of their homes and 11 billion in damage. But yesterday she said it was not a bad storm and it didn't matter what Obama did.

          they (teagaggers) have to mix politics and the huricane cause their nutcase god (rush limbaugh) said so......he said yesterday that Obama wished the huricane would have been a bigger disaster so he could blame the economy on it......if this isnt a top of the line wacko i dont know what is......i take that back, a bigger wacko would be the grown adult that would listen to this off the wall idiot, he just doin what he does, entertain the weak minded and makes money off of it while he is at it.....the scary one is the one that listens and takes it to heart

          anthony;

          I can't agree with you anymore, what kind of KIDS, they can't be adults, would even listen to these nuts cases. Most of the time, if not more, they make no sense (cents) on any issue concerning the government or Obama, only (dollars) when it good for their shows. Anything to push more blame on Obama and the DEMOs, Even to make up stories and say "GOD TOLD ME" I wonder if his voice sound feminine or manly or is it all in their HEADS? I guess it depends on who is listening.

          FROM THE "HOUSTON NEWS"

          Texas Governor Rick Perry takes a shot at President Obama's record on border security, by sending Washington a bill for services rendered. Prior to announcing his plan to run for the GOP Presidential nomination, Perry called on the feds to pay Texas 349-million dollars to cover the costs of detaining and maintaining illegal immigrants.

          But William Gheen with Americans for Legal Immigration (ALIPAC) says Perry himself fails to walk the talk.

          "His talk about border security or the Feds’ enforcement of the laws (is) all pretty meaningless when you have a governor that's giving away millions of tax dollars to illegal immigrants every year to attract them into the country."

          Gheen says Perry is opposed to tough state crackdowns on illegals - like Arizona's SB 1070; he also opposed many border fending proposals, but supported the Trans Texas Corridor, which would have allowed illegal truckers easy access to cross the border. He calls the bill a political stunt.

          "If you take the time and look at Perry's actual record, you'll see that he's actually done things to promote illegal immigration, encourage illegal immigration; to undermine border security with what he's actually done. And that makes him one of the worst types of politicians in my book, where you've got a guy who tries to appear to be one thing, but in actuality is something 180-degrees different."

          Gheen claims Perry's position on the border mirrors those of John McCain or Barack Obama.

          Rick Perry wants to bill the Feds for something he has allowed to go on, and fully supports behind the taxpayer's backs. He is a TRUE Texas politician. A liar, a cheat, and worthless. All in the name of God.

          So is Perry running for the Presidency of the secessionist state of Texas or is he hoping to fellow Jefferson Davis as Presidency of the Confederacy?  Either way he's admitted treason with his own mouth to the United State of America and needs to find another country to reign over, live in or whatever his demagogic self image demands.  He's not a loyal American so he needs to please leave this country!
