 Perry: ‘This Ain’t a Day for Quitting Nothing’Posted on Nov 10, 2011
So he “stepped in it” during Wednesday night’s GOP presidential debate. Others might say he choked or even ate it. But despite Rick Perry’s Texas-sized blunder, he’s not giving up his White House dreams.

Actually, I don’t see why pulling a blank on the name of a government department is such a big deal. Sorry to be the infidel here, but I don’t. And it’s not because I like Perry or his ideas.

More comedy from the clown car of Republicans. The fact that none of these
candidates seems credible makes me think Wall Street has decided to re-up
Obamanation.
To paraphrase Vonnegut, “There are some levels of stupid that can’t conceive of

this flub proves perry was just regurgitating what had been dictated to him by his handlers david and charles koch. the messenger really doesn’t matter much to them….if scott walker had not fallen for that fake koch bros call he’d be up there putting his foot in his mouth instead of perry.
a person who has spent time in careful consideration and serious thought regarding a matter of this importance doesn’t forget what those three things are.
he has no personal knowledge of these things, no personal connection that comes from careful study, he just says what he’s told… dumb as a rock.

Up until now I didn’t think Texas could put forth a more stupid candidate than Bush was, I was wrong.

Obviously Cain’s status as front runner is the Republican supporters signalling “None of the above”

Electing the mindless twist was already tried. It resulted in two wars, trillions of dollars going down the drain and a record deficit that the next ten generations will be paying back on.
I think the only thing that has not been attempted yet is electing an honest politician.

I think the media’s obsession with this is more reflective of the ills of society than the mental lapse that 99% of the world experiences every so often. I worry Perry will be the next President of the U.S. because he looks way worse than Bush and will probably even exceed Obama in damage world-wide, but I wouldn’t want to use this as a criteria - it’s as irrelevant as Dean’s Scream a few years ago.

Perhaps a mindless twit is exactly what we need in the White House. Look what electing a Harvard educated community organizer got us! Catering to the “best and brightest” really doesn’t seem to work so well anymore, does it?

Actually, this is the kind of foolishness that will endear Perry to the 10’s of millions of sub-intelligent conservatives here in the U.S.. It’s a repeat of the “he’s the kind of guy I could have a beer with,” except this time its: “this is the kind of president I can sit around and be a moron with.
