Actually, it’s not. All the republican house has accomplished in 5 1/2 years is to have voted 40 some times to repeal Obamacare.

Perry is shocked that a bunch of do-nothings did nothing?

Doesn’t he have his Smart Glasses on?

“Congress and the President have a duty to address our border security issues without further delay”

Well, buddy, it’s your party, not the President’s, that’s causing the problem here. Obama has already called on Congress to pass immigration reform and to authorize sufficient funds to handle the ongoing humanitarian crisis.

But the Republicans in Congress refuse to do anything, while, like you, demanding that Obama act. And, simultaneously, they threaten to sue or impeach Obama for overstepping his constitutional authority if he actual does act at the executive level.

The Republican party has turned Congress into an absurd side-show. If only American voters could wise up and put an end to this nonsense in November.

Most of the blame, pRick, rests with Alberta Rafael and the other teabaggers like Goobert and 1/2 the Texas Congressional Delegation.

“It’s beyond belief that Congress is abandoning its post…”

Perry must have just woken up from the medicated brain fog he’s been in for the past four-years. Oops.

Gee, Perry is astonished that the do-nothing Republican party has once again done nothing!

Maybe Perry should change his party affiliation to Hypocrite.

Ricky, if you are the leader of the Texas Republican party, it might help if you gave a map to the clown car that is careening around DC, with the Texas plates…

Well, being beyond Perry’s belief probably isn’t a long trip…but when you’ve lost his level of nutcase, where does that leave the GOP?

What’s really upsetting pRick? The realization that his little stunt of calling out the National Guard isn’t going to be paid for by Washington.

I recall this mental midget wanted to secede from the Union, now she’s crying like a little bitch that the US Congress won’t listen to his wolf calls…

Maybe he can get the Texas National Guard to convene and pass some legislation. Or maybe he can add the HoR to the list of federal agencies he’d abolish

How so? Your brethren in the House of Representatives (and the Senate I might add) are idiots just like you.

Now go call up some more National Guard to play the role of political props in the August heat, ya peckerwood.

Did he just refer to a bunch of 8 year olds as criminal aliens who pose a threat to our nation?

“While Texas has taken what steps it can to mitigate the damage caused by a porous border”

Um… the kids are being held by our border patrol (i.e. not porous) and don’t have the resources to handle it… hence the crisis.

What a moran.

  1. It’s NOT a border crisis - it’s a REFUGEE Crisis.

  2. No surprise here - in fact, to was 95% predicted that the GOP-led house would not pass ANYTHING before the break.

  3. It failed to pass cause the house leader, YOUR state senator Toad “Carnival” Cruz, told them to not vote on it.

  4. So, Mr. §Rick Perry, what are YOU gonna do about it? Besides blame Obama??
