Economy The Real Rick Perry

Posted by Charles Mudede on Sun, Apr 26, 2009 at 2:58 PM

On Huff Post:

Less than two weeks after raising the prospect of seceding from the union, Texas Gov. Rick Perry is calling on the federal government to come to his state's aid in the midst of the swine flu outbreak.

Now is the time to pass that healthcare bill.

Can we make them secede? Vote them off the island? Except for Austin, of course.

Just like a little kid who tells you he hates you when you try to make him brush his teeth and then comes crying to you when he stubs his toe.

That man makes me glad I'm leaving Texas (Austin) and moving home to Seattle next week.
Austin is great but at the end of the day it's still Texas

Tell him there's no free lunch and that private enterprise is best equipped to handle the swine flu. If he doesn't agree, he can raise taxes to pay for whatever it is he wants to do.

Have you not learned yet that Rick Perry says exactly what Rick Perry thinks the people currently in front of Rick Perry want to hear? That guy redefines "slimeball."

I'm thinking the next election will pretty much finish off the fucking right wing assholes. One can hope anyway.
