Before there was the waterboarding; hunting-companion-shooting VP [Cheney, of course] hand-chosen
running-mate of
the most unpopular President ever to leave office, George Dubya Bush, the last Guv of Texas,
his hand-picked very first running mate was current Texas Guv and flip-flopping reactionary
brainless + dangerous semi-ideologue fool
Rick Perry.
You might ask why I chose the Lennono/McCartney Classic "Hello/Goodbye"
as my theme song for the Rick Perry Bio. Read, friend, read.
:)
Rick Perry is running for President and everyone figgers him to be yet another right wing Tea Party reactionary, always was and always will be. Think again. Both the Austin American-Statesman and the Texas Tribune have done recent review articles detailing Rick's support of Global Warming and environment advocate extraordinaire, and liberal U.S. Senator from the great state of Tennessee Al Gore when he was a Democrat before Perry parried and became a Republican. Hello. Goodbye.
There he is, the best American VP ever to not succeed to the Presidency even though he won a
Presidential Election, it was stolen by Rick Perry running-mate George W. Bush and his brother Jeb
in 2000 as you'll recall, in front of a pic of the planet Earth and the atmosphere he's been trying to
save since leaving office,
Al Gore!
Here's awesome Al showing off his well-deserved Nobel Peace Prize for teaching everybody
about the dangers of humans spewing out bunches of smoke into the atmosphere
uncontrolled and endangering our future, our children's future,
and every critter on the planet. Thanks Al. Rick Perry once
was Al's Campaign Manager in TX,
now he says Al's views are a
bunch 'o bunk!
Lol dude!
I have noted that many of my colleagues are still misspelling Guv Perry's name as Guv "Parry." Funny, ifya check out the definition of "Parry." Wiktionary.org defines it as follows:
Verb - parry (third-person singular simple present parries, present participle parrying, simple past and past participle parried)
1.To avoid, deflect, or ward off (an attack).
Noun - parry (plural parries)
1.A defensive or deflective action; an act of parrying.
2.(fencing) A simple defensive action designed to deflect an attack, performed with the forte of the blade.
In defensive classes designed to prevent injuries with assaultive handicapped clients taught to me by the state Department of Mental Retardation I was taught to 'Pivot and Parry' with open hands to deflect potential blows in order to prevent assaults in a non-violent manner. Contrary to the common perception of Mr. Perry as a firm, rock-solid died-in-the-wool right-wing religionist, it seems that he is just another opportunistic TX Guv who believes pivoting when it is politically expedient is a good idea, and a bit paranoid like his TX gubernatorial predecessor, Dubya, and imagines that 'parrying' to deflect blows is essential to his political career.
A larger-than-life parrying Perry at his August 6th, 2011 "The Response"
Prayer Meeting in a stadium in Austin, TX that
he'd set up months ahead of time sending out invites to all 50 Guvs and what-not,
but once he decided the Republithief field of Prez contenders was weak and vulnerable
and that he wuz gonna run, tried to distance himself
from his own "prayer vigil" event and
even said he probably
wouldn't even
speak!
OMG!
Of course, Guv Rick Perry was George Dubya's hand-picked choice for Lieutenant Guv in 1998, but since Dubya became unpopular as a failed Prez who launched one unnecessary and illegal war, lying to everybody, including his own Secretary of State Colin Powell and the United Nations, about mythical 'weapons of mass destruction' and stalemating in Iraq for 7 years; stalemating in Afghanistan for 7 years; allowing the security breach that resulted in over 3,000 U.S. deaths on 9/11; the real estate/mortgage melt-down; the auto industry crisis; the banking crisis; and the "Great Recession" among other failures, Perry has parried on his views of his mentor and the man who made Rick Perry famous in Texas, George Dubya Bush and tries to appear as though he has nothing to do with him.
Awwwwwww.
There's Guv Perry
with
Dubya Bush
gettin' bear
hugs from
hiz running
mate!
And there they are together in 1998, side by side campaigners for Guv and Lt. Guv
of TX
George Dubya Bush and Rick Perry;
two peas in a pod!
Failed ideas
and
failed policies.
Of course Dubya's only other opportunity to choose a running-mate in his career
resulted in VP DICK Cheney, who believes waterboarding is good for America
shot his hunting partner, and was just plain mean and
incompetent and very unpopular, failed as a Defense Secretary and as
Vice President, just like Rick Perry has failed both as Lt. Guv and Guv.
For some reason The Beatles come to mind again and this funny home video version of the Lennono/McCartney
"The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill"
Rick Perry is responsible for 234 premeditated murders, with revenge as the motive, by signing off on state murders of prison inmates. This "Christian" doesn't believe in Christ's teachings. I shall restrain my tongue and pen here by simply quoting Christ from Matthew Chapter 5; Verse 39 wherein He unequivocally teaches His followers [The New International Version]: "If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also." And I also refer this hypocrite of a pathetic turncoat who utilizes his 'religion' for personal aggrandizement and enriching his wealthy Wall Street/Oil Company greedster pals to Exodus Chapter 20; Verse 13 and the Lord's Commandment handed to Moses in the words of the King James Version in it's black-and-white no-grey-involved nothing-less-than COMMANDMENT: "THOU SHALT NOT KILL." This is a guy who got his jollies in college by abusing chickens and placing them in a classmate's closet and blowing up M-80's in other student's toilets (the Texas Tribune), and a dude who has violated the orders of the International Court of Justice at The Hague and International Law by signing off on the execution of Mexican nationals despite treaties with Mexico preventing such murders, and an order by the Bush Administration that the states comply with these treaties! OMG! This fool is no Christian in his actions, outlook or ambitions!
Pro-execution signer of death warrants "Thou Shalt Kill" Rick Perry has
participated in the killing of more than 230 Texans
and 2 foreign nationals in violation
of international law.
Rick's another of those "Second Amendment Remedy" Whack-o's" like
Nevada crazy and U.S. Senate Tea Party loser Sharrrrrrrrrrron Angle.
Perry is a true whack-job, like his cohort in the Prez race on the Republithief side, Michelle "Pretzel-Twist" Bachman [yet he qualifies, also, as a blowin' in the wind depending-on-where-the-polls-show-I-should-go opportunist like Mitt Romney], who admires and endorses the ideas of her Oral Roberts University [now-defunct] Law School and one of it's Secessionist professors John Eidsmoe. After a Tea Party rally held on April 15, 2009, Guv Perry told a group of reporters:
"Texas is a unique place. When we came into the union in 1845, one of the issues was that we would be able to leave if we decided to do that... My hope is that America and Washington in particular pays attention. We've got a great union. There's absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, who knows what may come of that." [Both the Houston Chronicle and Fox News can be sited as references for these pro-secessionist remarks].
Perhaps as Prez, Rickster the Trickster would support one jobs program: A public works program wherein the Rio Grande would be lengthened and widened to surround the Sovereign Nation of Texas, and loaded up with gators and pirhannas so as to prevent intruders from the rest of Norte Americano. As tempting an idea to endorse as this may seem, given the gifts TX has offered such as the combined Pauls, Dubya and Perry, it ain't worth another civil war. ;o) Yer crazy as a loon Rick! Go home and stay home!
Guv Rick would like to see TX a sovereign nation and secede. Last time anyone tried that more Americans
died in the Civil War that resulted than in any other U.S. War. :(
And one last thing. What's with the idea that each state should get two Republithief Prez candidates. Tim Pawlenty recognized the foolishness of two Minnesotans trying for self-aggrandizement and withdrew from this silly three-legged race of theirs this time around, leaving only that Pretzel Candidate from Minnesota, Bachman. From TX you still have the Trickster Rickster and the Dad 'o Rand:
C'mon Republithieves, only one candidate per state pleeeze, I can't take this much in the way of
belly laughs. Except when issues of war, peace, executions and secession are concerned.
Not funny "Mr. Christian"
Rick Perry.
Get outa here!
For all these reasons and more we continue to unreservedly endorse the re-election of our awesome incumbent President Barack Obama. The hit parade of Obama accomplishments in just 30 months in office:
1) Ending the reign of terror that was Osama Bin Laden.
2) Ending Don't Ask Don't Tell- The official Defense Department policy of legal discrimination against gay and lesbian heroes.
3) Negotiating and passing through the U.S. Senate the START treaty with Russia.
4) Passage of the highly successful $700 billion TARP bill.
5) Passage of the first-step Health Care Reform Act of 2010.
6) Removing 100,000 of our bravest and best from harm's way in Iraq and an end to the Cheney Administration-sponsored US aggression by December of this year.
7) Getting a $20 billion down payment from BP before the spill was even over.
8) Intimidating Tony "Wayward" Hayward into resigning as the immoral head of BP, taking a demotion and hiding out in Putin's Russia to avert prosecution by Attorney General Eric Holder.
9) Naming 2 women in a row to the U.S. Supreme court with brains.
10) Having a brain himself as President, post-George Dubya Bush.
11) Getting a debt ceiling bill passed despite the efforts of the reactionary ‘worst-ever’ U.S. Congress and the most incompetent U.S. House Speaker Tanman Boehner to stymie his every effort.
AND THE WINNING LINK TO DEFEAT THE LIKES OF PRETZEL CANDIDATE BACHMANN, WHICH-WAY-DO-I-TURN CANDIDATE ROMNEY, OR YET-ANOTHER-STUPID-TEXAS-GOVERNOR LIKE DUBYA BUSH EXCEPT PRO-SECESSION AND RENEWED CIVIL WAR ADVOCATE RICK PERRY AND TO RE-ELECT A GREAT GUY WITH REAL FAMILY VALUES IS:
