Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) Stands By 'Hell-Bent' on Socialism Line

[drsuperhero]

Is socialism unconstitutional?



[jocam32]

where's his accent?

[xsxrxvx]

Hey...why dont all of you "hand out taking, welfare check cashing, 45 baby having, dope smoking idiots get a job. Im sorry that your hands have been held out so long that they look like cups, but honestly im tired of you losers getting a free ride while i work my ass off....It really sucks to see so many people in the USA that need and want the Gov in every aspect of your lives, but its pathetic. All of you Dems and libs need to take care of yourself and stop looking for us to do it for you.

[dteselle]

Socialism? We're there already. What we're afraid of is quickly gaining ground. Texas needs leadership that will act, not talk! Why hasn't Gov. Perry called a special session to NULLIFY unconstitutional legislation as Debra Medina has suggested?

[gotch09]

Finally someone who understands!!! They've been screaming "socialism" since FDR came up with Social Security. If in fact, not before that!!!

[GretchenDawntreader]

I'm glad to hear that Gov. Perry will be asking for no federal disaster relief come next hurricane season.

[ZingZee123456789]

Mr. Perry why dont you and your state SECEDE already and create your own country free of the evils of medicare, soicial security........

[MaggotReborn]

I wonder how many of these shit-scared republicans actually know what socialism is. I'd be willing to wager that a majority of them simply hate it because other republicans told them to.

[gotch09]

I concur. They probably have no idea. Even if you wrote the definition down on a newspaper, rolled it up and beat them in the face with it.

[kingsdun]

Ya gotta wanna be that ignorant.

[testing88534]

Ha, a man who screams Socialism at the Obama administration and at the same time allowed for the killing of an innocent man on death row. Socialism is such a fucking taboo in this country. I'm honestly sick and tired of it and I'm not afraid to admit my own sympathies for Socialist idealism. We should try new ideologies apart from the Republicans and Democrats, whether that be Socialism, Libertarianism, etc.

[dteselle]

Please check out Libertarianism. It is the polar opposite of socialism.

[sjcpal]

I'd like to know how this asshole plans on getting re-elected on this secession movement ...If he is, then i would support Texas leaving the union and giving California all it's Gov aid ...Especially during Hurricane season ...We got alot more Fires due to global warming here in California and we could use the resources

[LaMouleQuiCoule]

Socialism Socialism Socialism Socialism Socialism Socialism Socialism Socialism Socialism!!!

I am so scared!

[thirdcoastguy]

Yes indeed Rick, you are correct. Texas does not need a resurgence of reconstruction era carpet baggers like Obama and his camp followers stinking up the state of Texas.

[motoian84]

didn't bush sign the major rescue effort last year like the texas governor spoke of?

not obama, who did one this year?

people, you are already fucked- just stay in line with the rest of the hopeless asses and try not to stomp on one another.

[GreenEnergy2112]

Some do agree but most don't, go down the road you choose  ,ass wipe.

[freakawill2000]

He can't be governor of Texas anymore. He doesn't have the accent.

[Greg78X]

So tell me more about Texas and Stimulus money

[sdzinda]

I'm from Texas and the only reason this total moron keeps winning is because the races always have three parties and the votes are always so split...I don't think Perry has won the majority in either of the past two elections. He's a pretty boy, slot-machine for the big companies in Texas.....he's going to get rocked next election, unfortunately he's probably going to be replaced by Kay Bailey Hutchinson, another complete moron of a republican.....

[gotch09]

I live in Austin and I see way too much of the moron on tv. He is such a dip-shit idiot. Pardon my language but a idiot by any other name is still a idiot. Rick Perry==idiot. And I doubt Kay Bailey Hutchinson will be any better. Texas hasn't had a good governor since Ann Richards left office, rest her soul.

[172677]

Hey, all you REAL Texans out there...the ones with a brain....are you folks going to dump this dumass next election.

He's giving your state a really, really bad reputation as the home ground for the tinhatters, teabaggers and the lunatic fringe.

As a 5th generation Texas born gal...I hang my head in shame.....

[1samothrace77]

didn't governer rick perry accept stimulus funds?

[terrence0258]

You can't be serious right now, are you telling me that you would rather be alive in 1900 than right now. You probably would have died at 30 from smallpox or something. That is really stupid. Today poor people have food and color tv and clunker cars. In 1900 poor people had a top hat and a blanket. You can cry and moan all day but there is no doubt in my mind that this is the best time to ever be alive.

[1samothrace77]

better time to be alive even if you live in a third world country

[JOHNINCOLUMBUS]

Hey Perry, why did you ask for Federal aid, another hypocrite Republican asshole.

[mkabbz]

It's disappointing that so many people base their conceptual view of the world merely off of the emotional outbursts of a few talking heads on T.V. and those of self-serving governors. If you really want to understand what is going on then COMMIT yourself to studying the issues on your own...

[mkabbz]

Socialism is a natural response to a failing state of capitalism. It is nothing new... it happened in the 30's with the New Deal. Kudo's to capitalism's strong points, such as inspiring innovation and providing the means for people to 'vote' for products with their dollars. However, it's natural self-destructive cycles can't be ignored... and if it's not regulated, it will spin out of control and destroy it's self, like a rocket does with too much power...

[mkabbz]

Rick Perry appears to be a relic of cold-war political ideology... the stone-age idea that absolute free-market capitalism is the best economic system for this country and the world. This has clearly been disproved by recent (and not so recent) events. Does Rick Perry even know what socialism is? Does he know what capitalism is? If he did, (assuming he does not), his conscience would likely step in the way before spewing this blatant propaganda.

[DillonX]

Shiftyeyes--

Please don't think Perry is real popular in Texas.

In the last election only 39% voted to give him another term (he got the Governor position because we don't have run-offs so not necessary to get 50%)

And I can't imagine him getting even 39% in 2010.

[studio7manga]

Don't mind me, I'm just being protected by my socialist police, fire department and military forces while enjoying my socialist electricity and road system.

[mkabbz]

If you were truly american you'd be an advocate for privatizing all of those institutions.

[studio7manga]

Looks like from the comments that America disagrees with you and agrees with me. Such is the fate of people like you in a democracy.

[drernie3000]

Haven't we heard enough from Texas Governors? They're wrong about pretty much everything and spend more time in a day combing their hair than actually thinking about solutions...You can tell this guy doesn't give a shit about anything other than being reelected or running for President. Just another Texas asshole.

[gotch09]

Hey, wait a damn minute.Georgie wasn't even born here. He was born is some stinkin' ass place like Connicut. How we got stuck with him I don't remember. I just know we sent him to Washington to get him to hell out of the state of Texas. That's the only way we could make the village idiot leave.

[wtfoof]

First Perry, the bailouts started under Bush.

Second, GM and Chrysler came crawling to Obama for help. They are still private companies.

Health care will still be run by private companies. Estimates are less than 5% of American will even qualify for the public option IF we even have it!!!

Please secede and take South Carolina with you!!

[ScoundrelLB]

Gov. Perry has a lot of nerve talking about healthcare when 25% of Texans don't have insurance - the largest percentage in the country. And he just loves to talk about Texas seceding - like it's a threat - when many think it'd be doing the rest of the country a favor.

[sameltoes]

Nope dont agree with ya douchebag.... Most Americans my ass. Just try to succeed and plot out a new country....just like Aaron Burr we will try you for treason. "Massive take over of healthcare industry" ???? Why dont reporters call ppl likr this out on these lies by calling that notion rediculous? Yes, universal healthcare is the BEST option, but we will have to settle for this watered down, politics as usual option, and it will probably fail because anything wrong w/ it will be front page.....

[ScoundrelLB]

well said!

[KRKahn87]

Why can't any of you wake up?

[Shiftyeyes516]

What a nut!

and you people TX elected this fool- wow!

[carrierexchange]

He has no evidence, as usual.

[billgarnett]

Growing up such words as cancer, mental illness, and divorce were only whispered. There seems to always be a generational hysteria whether it is homosexuality, abortion, atheism, communism, marijuana or many other concepts that people fear to talk about rationally but which politicians will use as fear words to advance their own political careers and agendas. Does anyone think for a minute that a Republican president faced with this economic crisis would have done any differently?

[armyveteran101st]

Well, seems like the good Governor is hell bent on remaining an ignorant jackass, to say the least. Anyone who equates "socialism" to anything that may be happening in the United States today is nothing but a moron who ignores the basics of history and politics. Doesn't surprise me that such a dumbass would be elected Governor in Texas, though. The place seems to be infested with hysterical, paranoid, toilet-water drinkers like Perry!

[MrHelldogger]

Not only is he a socialist, he is a demonstrably failed socialist. Not only is a socialist, so are those that follow him so blindly.

[hellshade2]

i find it funny, republicans are hell bent over anything obama is doing and yet most of these republicans would love to make the u.s. a theocracy. and that my friends is even scarier....

[Lpnnurse09]

Where does fox get these dumb asses ? We needed to bail out the car companies ... If we didnt they would say Obama let them fail. Republicans have no idea what to do , they just talk crap .

[MrHelldogger]

Did we have to "bail out" Studabaker? Harley Davidson, Anaconda Copper? Are you gonna bail out my company when I can no longer afford the Obama economy. You call capitalist facsist & don't know a facsist when spits in your face. Obama laughs at you.

[spartan2600]

People and/or regions only have a moral right to secede when they've been wronged to a great degree, but the proof of burden is on those wanting to secede. Calling Obama a "socialist" isn't an argument for anything, Perry is just making himself look an idiot.

[MrHelldogger]

The Texas state constitution supercedes the US constitution. It was the only way Texas would accept statehood.

[armyveteran101st]

WRONG. The U.S. Constitution is the SUPREME law of the land. Didn't you take Civics and Political Science in High School? Texas did not accept an offer to become a state. It asked for statehood after its experiment being an independent republic went south, and the U.S. Congress accepted to allow it, (unfortunately). You need to get your head out of your ass and start becoming more educated on U.S. History and U.S. Government, pal. Don't be making stupid assertions here.

[MrHelldogger]

Wrong! You didn't grow up studying Texas history smartass! I did! The Texas Rangers have authority over federal agents & any real Texan knows that you fucking useful idiot.

[armyveteran101st]

Look buddy, you're either a complete fucking idiot, or a troll trying to push people's buttons, and I'm leaning towards the first option. Do us all a favor, unplug your computer from the electrical outlet, and go back to drinking water out of the toilet where you belong. YouTube will be a much better place for it!

[MrHelldogger]

Hey prick, I ain't your fuckin buddy. Days comin you're gonna find out exactly what I am. Now go back to the park, your boyfriend's lookin for & he want his fuckin money.

Clue #1. I've been jumpin outta airplanes longer than you been alive punk.

[armyveteran101st]

Is that so, asshole? I don't think they allow 10-year olds to jump out of airplanes, but in your case they would have done us a favor. Like I said, you are a COMPLETE FUCKING IDIOT. The day is coming when your stupidity will come back to bite you in the ass. Cut your losses now, and shut the fuck up, will you, you fucking asswipe?

[robb1031]

You know when someone is being completely foolish when armyveteran101st  starts using words like "fucking idiot"

armyveteran101st you rock dude

[armyveteran101st]

Sorry about that, robb1031. My inner Army person comes out when confronted with assholes like helldogger... };-)

[livelovebe1970]

There is a photo on the white house blog of Obama and Perry sitting next to each other at Ft. Hood. There is no love between those two..lol....I don't think Obama gives a crap either.

[armyveteran101st]

I'm sure he doesn't, but they both have to play the game for public opinion and PR. Everyone with half a brain knows that Perry is pretty much a scoundrel, and I'm sure the President knows it too.

[spartan2600]

If that were true, Texas would be a sovereign nation, but its not. I can't find any information on what you say, do you have any sources?

[MrHelldogger]

Texas was a soveriegn nation, the only state that was a soveriegn nation. And we withheld that power over the federal govt. You see I grew up in Texas & studied Texas history before it became the northern police state of Mexico.

Source,? try a Texas history book copyrighted prior to 1970. Before the communist/anti-Christ takeover. By the way, the point of the US const. is to pronounce We The People as the soveriegn over the govt.

[spartan2600]

Its impossible to take you seriously when you say nonsense like "Before the communist/anti-Christ takeover."

I've visited Texas and the Alamo, etc. I'm aware TX is unique in its relation to the federal govt in comparison to other states, but Texas is not a sovereign state. You might be confused about the concept of "sovereignty," among other things.

[MrHelldogger]

Yeah, and you're growing up on a mushroom farm. But, since you're not grown up yet, there might still be hope.

[markcerny]

Looks like someone dug up a lost clip from "The Dukes of Hazard."

[Betillo555]

Bullshit! Health care should be free and accessible to everyone in this planet.

[CitizenAuthority]

So who pays for all this "FREE" health care? Either you flunked Math or Econ 101 - or you're just plain stupid! If everyone pays into a system forced by the government that's called socialism. You must have flunked PolySci as well if you're that gullible my friend. Unfortunately most American's are in the same boat as you. That would be clueless -

[TrollBuster9090]

" If everyone pays into a system forced by the government that's called socialism."

Since most Americans turn over about a third of their income to the govt in exchange for govt services (with the notable exception of a few freeloaders who hide their income in offshore tax havens and get those services for free), the United States is already practicing socialism, and has been since its inception. The only clueless Americans are the ones who are in a state of denial about it.

[GBTRU]

I love how these asshole republicans say "most of Americans", and "all of America."

Someone needs to tell them of the huge elections that occurred, and wanted assholes like Perry out.

[spartan2600]

I'd like someone to ask Perry if he actually knew what the hell socialism is, and if he things Bush, and Reagan were "socialists" too, since they were much more into big govt and govt intervention than Obama is.

[CitizenAuthority]

You're clueless too spartan2600 - just like Betillo555. Go visit Chavez and live the "praises" he'll grant you in his solial revolution. BTW, I lived in Venezuela for two years so I do know what I'm talking about! Have a fun visit -

[spartan2600]

What's your point? You lived in Venezuala for a couple years, and it wasn't nice.What country in the region is doing better? Clearly not Columbia or Haiti, both of which have been victims of US support and intervention. Venezuela seems to be doing much better with Chavez, although the rich businessmen in the country hate him.

[armyveteran101st]

Better than what? Can you call Chavez's police state-like practices doing better with a straight face? Colombia and Haiti are two wildly different countries with very different sets of problems that cannot be compared logically. But they are doing better than Venezuela, in the sense that they're not in imminent danger of becoming totalitarian police states like the one Chavez wants to turn Venezuela into. Chavez wants to be another Castro, and that cannot be allowed to happen.

[spartan2600]

There is no police state in Venezuela- this is vulgar propaganda from business elite's. The closest thing to suppression of dissent in Venezuela was when the govt. refused to renew the radio license of a radio station owned by some rich elite, and the station was daily calling for the overthrow of the democratic govt of Venezuela. The US govt has done far worse than this to its own public, but regardless, that one occasion does not make Venezuela a "police-state."

[spartan2600]

Columbia is currently run by some rich drug lords, and in Haiti, the democratically elected president was kidnapped by the US in 2004, and a puppet regime was put in its place. In all instances, Venezuela is a certified democracy (observers from international organizations have verified elections), and Columbia and Haiti are not democracies, even though they're constantly getting praise from the WSJ, Bill Clinton and others.

[terrence0258]

Politics without debate is called a Republican administration.

[CitizenAuthority]

You're clueless too terrence0258! Ah, the Obama admin is so open and transparent since taking office. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Polosicomie said this would be the most ethical congress ever - yeah right. Take a deep breath and think for once!

[WKaliberr]

dumbass republicunts

[terrence0258]

You're right. If you don't want to be a part of America you are a traitor, I'm not one of Glenn Beck's 9/12 idiots that chant "Secede, Secede" then ten seconds later chant "USA, USA." I've spent a good portion of my life around the red necks of Georgia and i'm almost certain that they aren't much different from the ones in Texas but if they are stupid enough to line up behind a grandstanding politician using secession as a political tool then those idiots deserve whatever the get.

[TrollBuster9090]

I didn't realize that when you're the Governor of Texas you have to wear a dead racoon on your head, and pretend to be Davy Crockett.

Republicans: First they drive the country into a ditch, then they call the tow truck driver a socialist for charging so much to pull us out again.

[terrence0258]

George Bush bailed out the banks and automobile industry. Is he calling his old buddy W. a socialist? I wonder how he felt sitting in the presence of that scary socialist a few days ago at the ceremony for the soldiers that died at Fort Hood.

[TrollBuster9090]

Agreed. All of the right wing blustering and hyperbole is not designed to change the minds of any independent voters. At this point it's designed to keep their base from eroding any further, and prevent half the moderates in the party from joining the Libertarian Party, and half the extremists from joining the Constitution Party.

[humder]

No socialist in their right mind would think Obama was a socialist. If this guy actually found out what socialism really was he would have a heart attack.

[Cash2112]

5 Stars. Socialism? Hell, let's call it for what it really is: Marxism. Texas seceeding from the Union would get dingle Barry's attention and trigger events that will ultimately save the country. The only way to save the country now is to eliminate the Federal Reserve & IRS and cut all ties with the UN, Bilderbergers, CFR, Trilateral Commission and House of Saud.

[terrence0258]

George Bush's administration created TARP and bailed out the banks. George Bush's administration started the GM bailout. I do agree with you about Texas though, that way there will never be another Republican president and as soon as they declare independence Mexico will occupy the small nation of Texas reclaiming their original territory and will then rename it New Texico. It will be a great day for America and the rest of the world.

[Cash2112]

terrence: Still blaming Bush. Spoken like a true obot sycophant fellator.

[AccidentalDem]

Most Americans, having an I.Q., would not agree with you.

No consideration is given to the chain of events that led to the often stated "Socialism".

[whoo689]

Rick Perry kinda looks and sounds like a younger Mitt Romney. Ugh...

[terrence0258]

Mitt Romney looks way younger than Rick Perry. Rick Perry looks like he has lived a rough life.

[whoo689]

Who's taking over financial institutions?? Stop that myth! Sure, TARP was stupid, but right now no one is taking them over!! This ain't Sweden or Norway. Stop spreading lies.

Bush was hell-bent on war and violating civil liberties. I'm pretty sure that's a lot worse for America than "socialism."

[tankwfw]

Conservative politicians are just repeating the same thing they hear pundits and a few influential people saying on the radio and tv. They see that these Tea baggers are buying into this shit and they jump on board

[wojiaojj]

Does he think Americans all have amnesia? Last time I checked, it was Bush that started the bail outs. And there isn't a president in our history that would have done differently. It wasn't even a decision. It was a reaction. And Rick Perry needs to realize that the generation he is appealing to with these remarks will be dead in a few decades. Dead people can't vote (unless it is for Kennedy in '60). Republicans don't have a plan for the future of their party.

[terrence0258]

He isn't talking to America, he is talking to the scared people couped up in there homes because they feel the apocalypse is near and that Fox News is the only refuge from the propaganda being spewed by other news organizations allowing the government to bring an end to the American way of life, I think they call themselves "Conservatives" or something like that.

[hispanicarab]

Farouq Shami For Governor 2010 TEXAS

[gallomex13]

Socialism Boogie boggie booo!!!.........Tell me something if this republicans dislike socialism so much why don't they get out from the goverment paid health care they have and get their own insurance, shit maybe their friends at the health care insurance companies will give them a discount. and they would stop wasting out tax money on their health.

[kimintexas]

What the hell, Perry tried to require every girl in Texas to be vaccinated with the guardasil vaccine! Freedom my ass, choice my ass!

[gotch09]

I live in Austin Tx. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, PLEASE SOMEBODY TAKE THIS DUMB JACKASS!!!!

[suzuki22girl]

move to mexico, liberal.

[ETericET]

Buy amerian not japanese :) Support your country :)

[Aaberg123]

The Jews became bankers because the Christians wouldn't allow them to hold other jobs.

What does this have to do with Roman imperialism?

I have no idea what the point is with your last rant, as it is simply incoherent. You take a few random "facts" (I've yet to see anything that's credible), a whole lot of fantasy, and think this is a valid basis for an argument of conspiracy. I stand by my initial judgement: You are a nut.

[thetruthaboutstuff]

love how he can stand next to obama and shake his hand one day and the next day come on tv and lie about him. wow, good job.

[BASEBALLAPPLEPIE]

Most Americans think Rick Perry is a scary nut job. If that idiot was in charge, we would all be talking via mental thoughts as this country would be totally crashed without GOV fixing what BUSH GOV destroyed.

[zndprophet]

Most Americans will agree with me when I say that Rick Perry and his party are too fucking stupid to even know what real socialism is.

[zndprophet]

BLATANT PROPAGANDA USED ON DUMBFUCKS SO THAT HIS PARTY CAN GET BACK IN POWER.

Do the people who believe this shit have any respect for themselves? Can't they see how much their intelligence is being insulted?

I guess not. Maybe there is no intelligence to insult.

[micahgee]

Indeed all the wars, drugs terror etc. just tramples on the freedoms and liberty of the US people while not making them any safer.

[saumacus]

Perry is a lying bastard. Or ignorant moron. Or both.

[Aaberg123]

Nice touch with the capital T on truth.

I know Kissinger is war criminal. I've read his book "Diplomacy" and much of Hitchens' attacks on him. No, he's no good man.

Yes, the top of the Catholic church are bastards, but not for the reasons you've listed.

Your rhetoric and hyperbolic argumentation leaves me no choice but to regard you as a nut.

If you fail to realize with, google this: "The Dunning-Kruger effect".

[p00lman]

This guy is out of touch with reality. "Most Americans" voted for this administration, actually.

[getplaning]

Uh, Gov. Perry, I hate to pour cold water on your world, but the bailout of the investment banks was done under the administration of your predecessor.

I actually met Governor Perry at a party in Austin. Creepy is the word that comes to mind. The man is creepy. Seriously.

[Aaberg123]

justonemoreNWOnut

[GretchenDawntreader]

You know, he can refuse stimulus funds for his state and when we pass health care reform he can opt out just to show what a big hunk of man he is, and then his state can vote the imbecile out of office because they could really use the stimulus, and Texas health care sucks like nothing has sucked before in the history of suck.

[Luinreg]

I'm sorry but you can't call the bailouts "government takeovers" when it was their own business models and products that failed to produce a sustainable profit over their debt.

If I had my business failed and got a bailout the fault would be on the business and not the government. Government didn't take over either industry by choice.

[KataVideo]

dick cheney turned his back on you perry... where ya going to go? LOL!!

[darkally]

does he even know what socialism is? probably not

[RUKiddinMeHuh]

cavuto sux. at least beck talks and has (crazy) opinions on his show. this guy would be a fluffer in the porn industry- keeping the guests ready for action.

[Richardgwm]

Republicans oppose socialism, except when they are actually in power.

[iknewitalready]

Professional DICK

[sabboth42]

Rick....go ahead and take texas and succeed already. No one will miss your redneck cousin fucker state.

[aaronhallam61]

Is he wearing a hair piece?

[10thAngel]

"The last year" >_> obama has been president for not even 11 months.

[bleunt]

Having government run firebrigades, police force, military and judicial systems is a road to socialism!!!

[gotch09]

I live in Austin. Rick Perry is a jack ass.

[Tinils]

Ahh so its not the mooozzlims its the Jews!!! Thanks for clearing that up!!

[jrwilson87]

no we dont agree wit u.. and y do Republicans always say"I think most of Americans agree wit me"... think means ur not sure so y say it

[OhioDemocrat]

No I don't agree with Gov. Perry, and I don't think most Americans do either.

[CynicalSavior]

"I think most Americans agree with me"

Then you haven't looked at the polls.

Dear Texas. Please leave the union so our collective IQ as a nation can get back above 70.

Sincerely,

The other 49 states.

[DemonicGemini]

Rick Perry wouldn't be talking all that succession trash if it was a Hurricane about to hit would you buddy

[SabuPtolemy]

Rick Perry = ignorant dumbass

Obama's so-called 'Socialism' is a direct result of years of failed laissez faire Republican policies where everything was deregulated in the name of profit-uber-alles - and the American taxpayer was left holding the bag and forced to bail out greedy corporations in order to avoid a complete collapse of our economy.

[njcarlos1]

Deregulation? ROFL... where have YOU been buddy.

[Snowflake70]

does anyone know how to spell eugenics? I think it starts with a B and then there's an O in there somewhere...

[franknyt]

You're either a stupid mother fucker or a scared child. Which is it?

Boogiemen make you pee?

Eugenics. How many doctors have your heard say, "...well this guy is abnormal. Let's kill'em". Hmm. Never mind.

[hollygolightly66]

So the right is calling Fort Hood the worst terror attack since 911. Years after 911 if anyone even went to the edge of saying anything negative about GWB they screamed that the person was unpatriotic and should respect the office of the president. I guess for Perrry, the wannabe King of Texas, he's not self aware enough to recognize hypocrisy.

[kevmo99]

I wish for once they would explain what is wrong with socialism. The last time I checked, people who live in socialist countries have it pretty good - accessible health care, long paid vacations, highly subsidized education including university, and a general higher standard of living.

But, I guess if you are in the wealthy top 1% then the USA kicks ass because you can point and laugh at all the unemployed people without health care.

[greyflcn]

re: kevmo99

Well, what makes you think America is devoid of socialism.

greyfalcon. net/ joe

That if asked to give up these institutions, THEN you truly have real civil unrest.

That said, when it comes to the socialist healthcare systems other countries have, sure sounds like a bargain to me.

greyfalcon. net/ healthcare

[integral]

Sorry, justy, you have to go back and stand in the corner with the other retards.

[aquamadman]

So Regan and republicans bail out Chrysler in 1980 and it's just good business..... Obama bails out the auto industry in 2009 and it's socialism?? Is this more of that lame and retarded history taught by rethuglicans?

Boy, they are the most ignorant, useless and revisionist lumps of shit on the planet aren't they?!!?!!?

[filorps]

Rick Perry let an innocent man (with proof of his innocence) be put to death.

[barada01]

Well, I see your point as I'm no big fan of Israel either for these same reasons....but I have to say that your comment is extremely irrelevant to what I just said about the Republicans living in fantasy land about domestic policies such as health care. Oh, and Israel gets 3bn not 15bn..not that that is much better, but still.

[asphyxiafeeling]

i can't stand when politicians use the "most Americans" line.

[lewghost]

yeah Obama is leading us towards socialism... well it was either that or the 2nd grate depression, I'll take the former, plus it was texas' fault that america is in this bind...

[junkforkaryn]

"most americans", must refer to the republitard's imaginary friends.

[bigc028282]

What the hell is wrong with those who can't see the obvious...

HOPE in one hand, BUSH in the other

I love how the Republicans who were overwhelmingly voted out of office in two consecutive elections continue to say that the American people agree with them when they criticize Obama's policies or when they try to put words in the mouths of Americans when they say that American people do not want health care reform.  They continue to live in fantasy land about how what they are doing is the right thing and how everybody supports them.

[NikolitaNiko]

Agreed! It's really rather pathetic.

From the State that gave us George W. Bush...why are we supprised??

Hey Texas why don't you disconnect from the USA and join with Mexico? I'm sure a little more Spanish would do you good! Then with all your independent wealth, bring Mexico's industry to the forefront of the international market!!

Unfortunately, Bush was the one who destroyed the economy by putting the govt into a state of complete non-action. Obama didn't plan this. But, what a great argument for Repugs, to set it up so that the only way to deal w/ this disaster would be to put massive funds into companies-- meaning that in order to protect those funds the govt must have some input into making decisions.

And then they wave the flag and call themselves TRUE AMERICANS.

See the video about the Tex voting bill

Didn't their own protege Bush Jr bail out the banking industry?

Rick Perry is notoriously retarded.

[wafflethug]

yes texas got stimulus money. One of the projects they used the money on was renovating the governor's mansion. Kinda funny

[jaimymoore]

Yep.

Then Perry asked for more to rebuild the Governor's mansion.

He's anti-stimulus in the same way that he's heterosexual: only when the TV cameras are on.

[joshpnw]

He's right.

Good for him... Don't back down!
