Subscribe to RSSMANCHESTER, NH -- Rick Perry wants your vote, just as long as you're legally able to drink, too.
The Texas governor, speaking to students at St. Anselm College on Tuesday in Manchester, NH, asked for the young folks' vote, but seemed to forget that the national voting is 18 -- the age at which it's stood since 1971.
"Those of you that will be 21 by November the 12th, I ask for your support and your vote. Those of you who won't be, just work hard," Perry said.
The age flub wasn't the only one in Perry's pitch to the students; the general election is on Nov. 6, 2012, not Nov. 12.
Ironically, in 1971, the year the U.S. adopted the 26th amendment, establishing the voting age at 18-years-old, Rick Perry turned 21.

Sounds like little Ricky & Sherrif Joe have already had a 'few'!
Just what we need another dumb ass Governor from TX you can have a beer with!
That worked out SO well for us the first time around! lol
I've lived in Texas for a long time and I must admit I'm surprised by Perry's downfall.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not surprised his campaign is in epic fail mode, I'm just surprised the culprit is Perry's outrageous idiocy. I thought it would be the mass burial site he calls his closet, and, no, I'm not just talking about the "Wide Stance" thing.
Rick is from the good ol days when you had to be 21 to
vote but you could drink at 18.
He did the wide stance thing too ? OMG
Dennis - The article points that out. Still, for any professional politician not to know the legal age for voting... It's been this way since 1971 and he has been out asking for votes for almost the entirety of his adult life.
Maybe he's trying to prove he is ignorant enough for today's Republican Party, that he, too, is a "leader" and not a "reader."
Slick Rick is a one man voter supression machine!
Misinformed on the age and the date!
Keep talking Rick!....Ignoramous!
Well lets see here. Obama didn't know what year it was when he signed the Guest Book at the Queens Birthday. He thought there were 57 States. He miss-pronounced Corpsman several times in one speech. And nothing is on MSNBC. A Republican makes a mistake on Voting Age and he is an Ignorant Bafoon.
NOT MUCH BIAS HERE NOW IS THERE.
Can these people actually think it's a good idea to run people for President that so obviously have no clue how our government works?
slodon:
50 states plus DC, Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands, the Texas caucus because someone thought it was a good idea to have both a primary and a caucus in Texas and split the delegates so it counts as two separate races, American Somoa, and finally voters abroad like soliders and diplomats that get all lumped together and treated as one separate race. 57. They count 57 races, they allocate 57 sets of delegates. During the primaries they focus everything on the 57 races that send delegates to the convention.
News for Dumb Fux?
I had never clicked over to Fox before, but for all the dumb fux above (sorry slodan - you don't qualify), Fox has a story on the White House condemning the raid on the British Embassy in Iran where 6 diplomats were taken hostage, the British flag burned, petrol bombs hurled; the Labor Board Risks Closure Over Union-Rule Dispute; American Airlines filing for bankruptcy protection, etc.
Not near as good as the silly gopsip (that would be g.o.p. gossip for feisty) here at FR, huh?
Oh well.
So I went to TPM where they have the video up of Perry making his statement.
If you can you should see it. When I read this story my first thought was that it was just Perry being stupid. That's nothing new. But now that I see the video I'm wondering if Perry's brain fart was chemically induced. You could blindfold the guy with dental floss.
READ MY LIPS....NO NEW TEXANS !!!!
Bob - Sighh. You do realize that First Read is a political website, don't you?
MSNBC is covering all of the stories you referenced, but not on First Read. Why? Because First Read is about politics.
This is just too painful to watch or listen to......really who encouraged him to run for president. This is a governor of the biggest state in the union, a politician, and he doesn't know basic information about who can vote.
No Rick, you are not ready for prime time, go home and I hope the citizens of Texas, will be less inclined to believe anything coming from you. Frankly sir, I believe you have brain malfunction of some sort, no on can be this stupid. You're just functioning on hot air.
What can you say about Perry except "oops".
Bob, just go back to bed. The doctor will be in to talk with you later about your delusions of being relevant.
nisl. Thank you for posting the 57 races.
slodon, ever write a check and put the wrong year or date?
P.S., anyone who says they have not done either never writes checks or won't admit it.
Jody, never admitting to being wrong about anything is a GOP/TP trademark!!!!
What a total dumb-ass. Brace yourselves from all the posts about '57 states' again.....
I know. It's a genetic DNA flaw that doesn't allow the GOPTP to see the humor in this and makes them deflect from Rick Perry's gaffe to talk about President Obama's 57 comment.
nisl,
And didn't FR read have a story before this on Biden going to Iraq?
And how is a story on the White House condemning the attack on the British Embassy in Iran not a political story, but Biden going to Iraq is?
Or what about FR's story on Hillary going to Myanmar a few before that?
The repubs quitting the NLRB board to deny the dems a quorum to ram through their political agenda is not a political story.
American Airlines, their union troubles and bankruptcy is not a political story, but GM, their union troubles and bankruptcy is a political story?
Sighhhhh ..... you guys just aren't very good at this stuff.
Bob - First Read is the politics blog on MSNBC's website. I don't know for sure, but I'd guess Fox has something similar, most "News" sites do.
Do some stories get posted to First Read that aren't directly related to politics? Sure. But your assertion that MSNBC isn't covering a story because First Read isn't covering a story is incorrect.
Siggh, why do I even bother? Yes, this is a simple concept most third graders can grasp, but I bet it will plum evade you.
Bob you are as incoherent as your buddy in TX...
It's the Scotch talking philly!
Poor booby - still doesn't have any 'wood' in his 'pecker'...
"And didn't FR read have a story before this on......."
Say- are you playing that game where you put your forehead on a baseball bat, and spin around a bunch of times, and see if you can run without falling down??
What are you complaining/not complaining about as relates to NBC's coverage/non-coverage of some news items???????
I wonder if boobies eyes are barely open too?
Where did I ever even mention MSNBC much less "assert" something?
You shouldn't. Leave it to Anna Molly or Dennis or someone that can deflect and skillfully reshape the issue.
Might try Yahoo though.
SW Philly asks, "I wonder if boobies eyes are barely open too?"
I get the impression that boobie is stupid and not stoned, but you can't always tell on the internet. I hope for his sake it is just drugs. You can quit doing drugs, you can't quit stupid.
Boob in your confusing drivel you mentioned first read and first read is msnbc which is also affiliated with NBC so you did mention it, I guess, like I said It was kinda incoherent..
News for the dumb fux,
The original comment was not about political content as much as it was sarcasm, ridicule of Feisty's crude, crass and insipid "dumb fux" box.
Sorry it went over your heads, but thanks for defining the term.
BTW Feisty - that's how you do a real trap.
oh yea.... lol
Scotch and pills the only way a real conservative gets high...

Bob - Do you ever get the feeling that nobody respects you? Do you feel that everyone thinks you are a moron? There is a reason for that.
Look, you have made it clear you hate First Read. I know you aren't that bright, but let me clue you in on something: There are a lot of websites online that are NOT First Read. Some of them cater to people like you. Those websites won't cure your lack of intellect, they'll probably make it worse. But you'll love them and the people there won't continuously point at you and laugh.
I suggest you leave First Read and never return. You'll be happier and without you the comment section will be a smarter place.
Could this finally be the nail in Perry's coffin? He's gone by February.
Voting age of 21? Not a bad idea for Texans or the South.
NISL you might have just caused boob to go and take even more anti-depresants...You broke him down pretty bad....Congratulations, it was something he needed to hear..Maybe he will join the right side because I bet the ones being really mean to him are his GOP friends..They probably are the reason he tries to hang out on here..
I will be back in 20 mins I just have to go see what Colbert and Stewart have to say about Hermie and I can't wait for wednesday's show on this...
nisl,
I could not care less about the libs like you, Feisty, backhouse, David Walker, etc.
I dunno, sometimes I do OK. The other day, out of 17 pages and 1,263 comments, my first comment got the most votes - dem or lib - more than you got ... on a lib site.
But honestly, no joe is better at it than I am, JoAnnaSmith can multi-bash four libs for everyone one I start to refute. Roy Wilson is great, Bill Fairfax, Spanky ... Joe Albany is solid ... I do ok.
I don't hate FR. I wish they had more substantive stuff instead of gop gossip all the time, but hey .... this is where the libs are.
But you have a site where there is a higher quality, more intelligent libs - let me know.
Then refute something sometime genius.
There you have it folks... booby is a legend in his own mind!
Make sure you don't hurt yourself, patting yourself on the back!
You can now resume ripping wings off of butterflies...
The latest Fox headlines as of 8pm est
You are right as usual..Fox has so many more newsworthy stories
nisl
Here is the video for you.
He CLEARLY STATES 57 SATES NOT 57 RACES. And to use your math. He says 57 State visited,ONE TO GO and NOT ALLOWED TO GO TO ALASKA AND HAWAII,that makes 60 STATES!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpGH02DtIws
Jody,Iowa
Yes I have written 2008 on a check. The last time was in Jan. 2009 NOT May 2011!!!
Good Gaffe .. here we go again. Guess he has jumped on Cain's "leader not a reader" philosophy.
And bam-bam thinks there are how many states?
"hypocrisy: prejudice with a halo"
50 states plus DC, Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands, the Texas caucus because someone thought it was a good idea to have both a primary and a caucus in Texas and split the delegates so it counts as two separate races, American Somoa, and finally voters abroad like soliders and diplomats that get all lumped together and treated as one separate race. 57. They count 57 races, they allocate 57 sets of delegates. During the primaries they focus everything on the 57 races that send delegates to the convention.
I don't know, nisl, you think that poor Reality Check can follow that? Pretty complex and might be above him. Good job, though.
As if anyone really believes that a Harvard Law Magna Cum Laude would not know how many states there are. If that is all you've got, that is pretty sad.
Reality Check,
President Obama knows there are 50 states. How's that? Now. Do you have anything useful to contribute? Or do you just want to continue to make yourself look stupid?
newdayDawning - I realize that wingnut trolls are immune to facts, logic and nuance. Still, when I see someone posting nonsense I do my best to rebut it.
The president knows how many states there are but the idjit running for the other party doesn't know how old you have to be to vote....That wasn't a misspeak he is that dumb...
Typical GOP comeback, have you noticed that when people make negative comments about Obama they are countered with facts about Obama……not with “Perry did this, Romney did that or Newt did that? The Republican supporters have been reduced to name calling or “I know you are but what am I” comebacks because the there is no defending the accusations made about their candidates.
And you did well, nisl. I do enjoy your posts! Focusonjobs1: an excellent point.
What does Barney Rubble's kid have to do with anything?
And Obama thinks Hawaii is part of Asia.
You want to know a real flub? Seems Obama is going to New York to fundraiser-
Tomorrow night.
Just so happens to be the worst gridlock alert day of the year- the night they light the Rockefeller Center Chriatmas Tree. So, what with the nypd having to close streets so his entourage can pass through, it's going to make a bad traffic situation an in,intimated nightmare.
To make matters worse, his fundraiser, which will coincide with the lighting, takes place at the Sheraton Hotel- 7th Avenue and 53rd Street. Rockefeller Center is at 50th Street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues.
I'm sure he's going to be really, really popular with the tourists, locals, and those who come in from the Tri-State area to participate in one of the great family events of the year.
Probably explains this

Shorter no joe - Let's not talk about how the Republican candidates are a bunch of chuckle heads, let's talk about how Obama is doing something bad, like going to New York City!
no joe,
You're so tiresome. Before he was a teenager President Obama had more world experience than you've had in your entire life. How do I know this? Well, I've seen his biography. As for you, your posts betray your parochialism.
According to Gallup Carter was at 40 and Obama is at 43. It should also be noted that just last month Carter was at 37% at that same time in his Presidency.

It's all the nut job from NJ's got!
Well, that & her lies, for which she is continually exposed.
All my years around here, I have never seen a more severe case of ODS (Obama Derangement Syndrome) than what this old bird is suffering from!
nisl, think about how long it took nojoe to come up with this little tid bit. This is the best they can do now. They know their party is shot all to hell, so let him have his moment, they are becoming fewer and fewer every time one of the GOP candidates opens their mouths and proclaims moral rights.
no joe, I bet your hero is Ann Coulter. You sure sound like her.
Yeah, because without the President in town everybody knows NYC traffic would be a walk in the park, right?
Let's just be honest...it's all an attempt to continue the "War On Christmas" by denying you the pagan symbol. VICTORY IS OURS!!!
Uh oh, Da Noid, you said "War on Christmas" Billy and the FoxNuts are gonna get ya! LOL
Tis the Season - The extra delicious special sauce on the Republican Fail Roast is that they are falling victims to political attacks they engineered in previous elections.
Cain is getting scrutiny over extra marital affairs (amongst other things). The press used to be hands off on such issues (mostly.) That changed when the GOP decided nothing was as important as assassinating Clinton's character. Gingrich will probably get some of this too, which is just oh so perfect.
Romney is a flip flopper. Who was it that turned "flip flopper" into a political killer? The Republicans.
The Republicans are being undone, largely, by their own short sighted strategies.
Bring it!!!
Her we go with the confusion...Yes Hawaii is in the Asian-Pacific region....Wouldn't you say that most of the people there are asian in decent also ? You must live in North Jersey,been huffing those fumes alittle too much ? Or is it the Fox bubble you live in ? You don't beleive anything unless Fox tells you Huh?
Okay, I'll spell it out slowly.
Traffic is bad the day of the lighting. Everyone knows this- that's why I referred to it as the worst gridlock alert day of the year.
Obama is going to make a bad traffic situation even worse.
Come to think of it, that's exactly what he did with the economy.
So traffic,is this one of those real issues you nuts are always yappin' 'bout ? 'cause it seems to me you complain about everything he does and I would call that nitpicking....But I understand, my grandfather was a racist and he usta complain about everything them damn darkies did...
Nojo, Doesn't NYC have a stellar public transportation system? I was there several years ago and I could go everywhere I needed to by subway or walk. Sometimes a bus would work as I got further from Manhattan. Besides aren't there enough people in NYC without people from another state, say New Jersey, going there? One would think that Newark or another city in NJ would have a tree lighting ceremony New Jerseyites could attend.
NoJo,
[And Obama thinks Hawaii is part of Asia.]
Jesus H. Christ on a pop sickle stick, don't you ever come up for air?
Ok, I'll spell it out for you, now stop being a dumbass...
1) Obama's speech was about trade deals;
2) Hawaai is part of the Asia-Pacific trade region.
...see where this is going dumbass?
EVERYONE knows what he meant, except you and the other haters here...or you do know, and are just being your ignorant self...Jesus H. Christ, don;t you ever come up for air?
baldeagle,
[Nojo, Doesn't NYC have a stellar public transportation system?]
She wouldn't know...the liar has probably never been there, and she basically lives across the street...
Depends on where Lincroft, NJ is...
Bingo, bango, boongo!!!
Last time I was at Rockefeller Center I didn't notice a massive parking lot or garage which means that if you're going anywhere near the tree lighting you're most likely taking the subway or walking!
The village idiot wouldn't drive near Rockefeller Center tomorrow night...but "No Joe" probably would.
[Depends on where Lincroft, NJ is...]
If my memory serves me correctly from the days in my youth heading down to the Jersey Shore to get lucky (Jersey girls were ALWAYS easy...), that would be near exit 109 on the Garden State Parkway, close to the Shore Points...Bruce Springsteen lived not far from there in Rumson...still not close enough for NoJo to venture from her back yard where it's safe to big, bad NYC....
There is no doubt that Donna knows her way around!
She has always been a major player in the 'circle jerk'! ;o)
Mickey: Best take down EVER!
Oh my gosh, it is just so painful to listen to the man make a righteous fool out himself!
newday, makes one wonder about the education system in Texas. First Dubya now little Ricky..............
Right. And who's the Governor of Texas these days . . . ?
Perry actually had this question! He said "Texas? Texas? Wait, I know this one." He's getting back to the media on this later.
The current crop of republicans just make it too easy; there's no challenge in it!!!
there's no challenge in it!!!
Yes, there is, just not for us. Watch the wingnut trolls that inhabit this site trying to defend Perry, Cain and the rest of the field. Now they have a challenge.
Of course they face that challenge not by defending the candidates, that would be impossible. No, they defend their clown parade by yelling nasty things about Democrats and Republicans. Some of those things are several decades in the rear view mirror, but what can you say, the wingnuts are desperate.
Does anyone else remember "The Gong Show", from the late 70's, where no-talent contestants were "gonged' off the stage by the panel of judges? Is it just me or is Chuck Burris (the producer and host of the show) the only person missing from the 2011 version being put on by the parade/charade of current no-talent Republican presidential contestants?
No kidding, cmiller- We just saw "Cain-Cain, the dancing machaine"!
Haw Haw.....
What do you mean when you say "the current crop of Republicans."?? What idea does that convey? In other words, you don't know any more about how to express an idea than the rest of the writers of comments. What idea did you intend to express by that phrase. I have been a Republican since l968 -- that is 43 years. Am I in the "current crop?" Do you mean the"crop" (a big crop, too) of l8, 19 and 20 year olds who are registering as Republicans? Now that I have completely wiped out any chance you might have had to convey an idea, I want to add that you sound like every D-student O ever met in High school. Why are you writing comments?
Dear Gordon:
What an odd thing to obsess about But to help you out, Sue is referring to the current crop of Republican candidates. Can't think why you had so much difficulty with what she wrote. Did it really matter enough to you to engender all that angst?
Gordon ... calm down, man. Sueb1 is referring to the current crop of Republican candidates. Any D-student would know that from the context of the discussion.
Good one Drive-by. In fact you made me realize that they don't really need Chuckie Baby!! They're gonging themselves off. And by "they", Gordon, I mean the current "crop" of Republican presidential candidates for the 2012 Presidential election.
New news ... Cain to release a signature perfume ... LovePotion#999. "Are you ready to smell" is the slogan.
Love it!
The 'under-tone' is, a hint of pepperoni!
'Nothing comes between Cain & his Concubine'!
"The 'under-tone' is, a hint of pepperoni!"
Does it carry a light and delicate hint of 'akka-zation', also?
That's the full name: Love potion 999
Akka-zations
"eau-d'terrd" Coming soon....
Felt so good I had to post it twice….Reality Check? Typical GOP comeback, have you noticed that when people make negative comments about Obama they are countered with facts about Obama……not with “Perry did this, Romney did that or Newt did that? The Republican supporters have been reduced to name calling or “I know you are but what am I” comebacks because the there is no defending the accusations made about their candidates.
And worth reading twice!
Focus - For today's GOP it is all about distraction. In the last thread, the one about Cain slipping, the wingnut trolls told us how Cain was being attacked by the media and not getting the special preferential treatment Bill Clinton received when he was in office. How utterly clueless and pig ignorant does one have to be to say Clinton got a free pass during the media? The same wingnut halfwit brought up Ted Kennedy's Chappaquiddick incident and Barney Frank's prostitute issue. Both of those things is decades old, Barney Frank is retiring and Kennedy is dead. How freaking desperate do you have to be to bring up that crap?
out of focus, You have got to be kidding. Whenever a negative fact about Obama comes out, your liberal play book always goes back to "Bush did this" , "Bush did that" Pathetic
Definitely worth a repeat, focus! I voted for it twice, too.
Not as bad as your "Clinton did this", "Clinton did that" crap.
Admit it.
"out of focus, You have got to be kidding. Whenever a negative fact about Obama comes out, your liberal play book always goes back to "Bush did this" , "Bush did that" Pathetic"
So- you approve of this, and actually endorse it? It makes it all better somehow??
Cool.
We only say bush did it when you nuts try to blame the crash of 2008 on the current president..
Thom Hartmann says we are in a Great Depression right now.
Question ... did Cain's wife ever play baseball? I hear a bat swinging.
No, she didn't play baseball, but I hear she loves to cook. She uses things like wooden rolling pins and cast iron skillets!!!
Don't know about baseball but I caught the end of a comment last night that Cain's wife is a registered democrat. Not sure how true it is.
The take on the Right seems to be that behind Cain there is a good woman but in front of him there is a bad woman. If so time to turn around, go home and take a good whooping.
Poor Rick. he's clueless. He, along with Michelle and Santorum, should board the 'Cain Train' for its final run. I'll miss you guys. It has been a hilarious past few months. Now it's time to say goodbye.
"Now it's time
to say goodbye
to all our com-pan-y
M, I, C, K, E, Y....
M, O, U, S, EEEEEEEE"
I can't help wondering what those indivuals who continue to give monetary support to Gov Perry (and some of the other candidates) are thinking? Does the idea that they might be giving money to a candidate who has very, very little chance of gaining the nomination not occur to them? Do they get a kick out of backing a non-finisher? Do they have so much money that it doesn't matter whom they support? Or are they still hoping that their candidate will somehow manage to turn around all the missteps and emerge as a strong, viable candidate?
There seems to be so much dissatisfaction with the current crop of candidates, and with President Obama, one wonders if the Americans Elect movement will gain any steam. Is a candidate who is independent of either political party the answer?
Just love watching these teabaggers make fools of themselves! OBAMA 2012
These GOP candidates are nuts!!!!
rtaylor, they may be nuts but worse, they have followers and a good number of them, so what does that say about our country and its moral ethics as well as the level of intelligence in this country. If we put some thought into this we would be well served to be very afraid of our future and where it could end up. We need to look beyond these few fools to the future fools coming.
Perry knows he won't get votes from anybody that doesn't drink--alot.
GASP!!!!....oh well...at least he knows there aren't 57 states!...:p
50 states plus DC, Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands, the Texas caucus because someone thought it was a good idea to have both a primary and a caucus in Texas and split the delegates so it counts as two separate races, American Somoa, and finally voters abroad like soliders and diplomats that get all lumped together and treated as one separate race. 57. They count 57 races, they allocate 57 sets of delegates. During the primaries they focus everything on the 57 races that send delegates to the convention.
ATFMAN, sorry but you're wrong; in Perry's world there are only 49 states because Texas seceded ages ago.
nisl, please save that post and repeat it as often as necessary.
Jody - I will :)
nisl, great breakdown of the 57 voting blocs. I will use that. Thanks!
But Jody, that 49 states would again become 50.....gotta add in the 'State of Confusion" that Perry lives in.
Does he really?
nisl
Since you copy/paste. I'll do the same with some modifications.
Here is the video for you.
He CLEARLY SAYS 57 SATES NOT 57 RACES. And to use your math. He says 57 States visited,ONE TO GO and NOT ALLOWED TO GO TO ALASKA AND HAWAII,that makes 60 STATES!!!

It's a good thing Perry didn't tell a wheelchair bound person to "stand up !" (i.e. Joe Biden, the gaffe machine)
For the love of GOD, will Mr. Green Jean's please corral Henny-Penny back into her coop?
Hitting the hate-or-aide pretty hard already aren't ya honey?
HEY FEISTY,
SINCE WHATEVER I SAY BOTHERS YOU SO MUCH........
It's a good thing Perry didn't tell a wheelchair bound person to "stand up !" (i.e. Joe Biden, the gaffe machine)
LOL
I like my new logo.
Me too .. NBO-Nobody But Obama! And here I thought you were an Obama Basher.
Did you find that all by yourself booby or did you need help? ;o)
So do I, big B-ob numbers! Looks great, especially the Obama logo. Now everytime you post, I will enjoy seeing it. Good job!
Been busy with your coloring pencils today BoB?
I like it, too, Bob.
You're a pretty creative guy- ever consider work for the Romney campaign?
It's a beautiful logo, Bob!
Perry is just another dumb half wit redneck cowboy, that the radical right is in love with.
Haha another epic fail. This might be a minor thing as a standalone event, but when you add it to the big picture, Perry is just not ready for prime time.
"Scary Perry" is proving. Again! That he is an ignorant GOP slow mentally moving Elephant. He is unable to read with any sense of comprehension, and he has no intellectual abilities. Listening to "Scary Perry" trying to sound smart??? Is truely showing America how just mentally ill he is. This is another GOP Clown, who loves to perform his political puking under the GOP Circus Big Top. Is America getting tired of seeing and hearing these GOP Clowns yet??? I hope so!
Actually Perry is one of the more erudite among GOP/TPers. I mean he must be he is a potential Republican candidate for office after all. Congrats to my Texan friends that is your Governor and yall voted him in
These guys must be proud of being so friggin' stupid. And you wonder what's wrong with Uhmeracuh?
I am actually beginning to feel sorry for Perry. Aren't these the types of mistakes that stem from alcoholism or senility? How many people with a staff as large as his can regularly make such boners? If he is sober and in command of his wits, then he must be the most nervous campaigner in the history of the game. I think he just loses track of what he is saying between the time he opens his mouth and closes it. Two or three sentences into an answer and he is just lost in space trying to remember what he was going to say. Texans must wince every time he makes the news.
Texas drought musta dried up his limited brain cell.
You've got to love the republican field...
Whoa... Jack and Jills, wait a minute here. Forrest Gump said it best "Stupid is as Stupid does"... These GOP characters here running for the office of the President of the United states of America are so comical and funny that SNL, Colbert and all of the late night shows TV hosts will have comedic material for years to come. Yet what is so scarry is that the right-wingers are still trying to convince the rest of the American people. That out of all of these minstrel men and woman. One of them should be elected rightfully (yes rightfully) to this office. Because if my memory serves me well G.W.Bush became the President under very auspicious circumstances (see Florida). And that is a real posibillity here, knowing the the GOP will do anything to get the WhiteHouse back...
So come next election Americans please vote. And vote for what's best for all of us. Not just a certain party or group...
