yeah… someone should remind Tex that while Carter only lasted 4 years we’re still trying to get past the mess created by 8 years of the last President that came outta Texas…
“We had a civil war, two World Wars, a depression. We even survived Jimmy Carter!” he shouted to applause. “We will survive the Obama years too!”
Noticeably absent: 9/11 hmmm…I wonder why??
Thank God that President Obama cleaned up the mess left by the Cheney Administration!!!1111oNE!!11
I can hardly wait for the SNL take on this Hindenburg tragedy known as CPAC 2015! These folks are hilarious and pure fodder for comedy. Rick Perry has a real career ahead and it ain’t in politics!
All hat, no cattle.
You don’t want to try to stuff facts into that cranium.
Perry:
"Obama Iz bad, for three reasons:
First, he’s a Kenyan Socialist.
Second, he’s a Socialist Kenyan
Third, he’s a, he’s a…OOPS"
Carter appointed Paul Volcker who then choked off the stagflation that was killing the economy in the 70s, so that Reagan could take credit for it when the policy began to bear fruit, and then appoint his own con artist/hack Greenspan who’d be more cooperative with his wealth-grifting of the labor class. You’re welcome, ingrates.
Carter’s biggest mistake as president was telling people shit they didn’t want to hear. Reagan fixed that problem in a big way.
Got his ’ he man ’ glasses on then .
Right you are!! And these dimbulbs want to hootNholler at insults hurled at exPrez Carter… an epitome of selflessness,vision,perseverance and good,old-fashioned hard work.
Hey Ricky…new geeky glasses and hair-dye dont buy u credibility…NO President has worked harder than Carter,after serving as POTUS,at least in my lifetime.
I dont even know why i am gettn so workd up; mebbe bcoz i have to share oxygen and highways with these choad-loads. Ughhh…
“We even survived Jimmy Carter!”"
We have still not recovered for the guy who followed Carter, nor the two Republicans who followed him.
And one day Texas will say we survived Gov. Bush and Gov. Perry…
I guess all you have to do is string a bunch of rightwing buzzwords together at CPAC and call it a speech. Notice how none these yayhoos know how to offer a single vision of why they want to be President. All these speeches are diatribes, laden with anti-liberal red-meat buzzwords that have no real substance. Offering solutions to the nations problems has never been the GoOPers particular forte.
They’re still tied the same 30+ years of failed declarations for lowering taxes, abolishing government regulations, and corporate welfare disguised as trickle-down economics…oh, and of course, fuck the environment. Pollution for all. Its the first democratic principle they all seem to believe in…because at worse, they’ll be living in their own gated communities, complete with their own water supply and attached private entry golf courses.
Perry’s bluster is nothing more than an affectation for lazy minds and emotionally stunted people who like to play dress-up in Old Glory draped fashions and Revolutionary War garb. Christie’s shitty bully-boy routine is much the same. An affectation for those that like their politicians rude and crude. And Rubio’s weak cottonmouth humble-brags are yes, weak and easily dismissed as he represents the all too obvious token person among the contenders. Ben Carson doesn’t even come close on that score. He’s just there arguably to offer deniability from limiting the presence of blacks there, and accusations of overt racism among their ranks. And he’s too stupid or being paid extremely well to give a shit. Gay people and Muslims however are still both fair game to verbally go after at CPAC I’m sure.
So who’s up next…The clown car is looking more like a crowded SUV already.
By the Q&A section, Perry was panting.
Not to worry. A few quick turns of the key in his back and he was humming along again.
The bar for humour is high on this website. That’ s because there ARE standards. Similarly, if we did not have to contend with derp, I suppose there would have been animated discussions on policy (like, what is the best way to rid the ocean of plastic pollution).
Because these are the people for whom humour consists of sledgehammer statements (the majority of which have to result in half-assed “apologies”), their substitution for policy (because, as you rightly suggest, they have zero viable ideas acceptable to their audience of bumpkins) will have to devolve into red meat tossed to the Mob.
Which adds up to a Greyhound Bus-sized vehicle of “payasos”, instead of a Camry-sized Clown Car
