I am an American, says so on my butt.
I might be dumb too. I don't pretend to be a smart man, smart ass, but that's a different story.
Earlier this morning, I awoke, early, and went to the living room to watch some TV. Rick Perry was the topic of discussion on MSNBC's Morning Joe, was he the right man to be the nomination for the Republican Party.
One nice thing about Morning Joe is its mix of righties, lefties, and the middle.
Then a commercial came on that said, "Do any of the candidates have an idea on how to fix the economy, etc. etc. etc.?" which led me to a thought, an answer to that question,
"No, no they do not!"
I believe most of the politicians, not only in this country, but all over the world, don't have answers to the key issues, they just like to hear themselves speak.
"Blah blah blah...I sure do have a pretty voice....blah blah blah....LEFTY COMMUNISTS....." Generic candidate said at a press conference announcing their campaign to become El Presidente for Life.
IS RICK PERRY DUMB?
I know very little about Rick Perry.
I use to keep up with the politics of this great land, but after awhile, they all seem to be the same monster, just some of them have better barbers.
So I went to Google to discover more about this man, this mammoth of a creature who seemingly could be the next President (of the USA or the Harper Valley PTA!) of this great land.
The first page of hits had an article called IS RICK PERRY DUMB?
My instant smart(ass) reply was DUMB LIKE THE FOX!
According to some reports, Rick wasn't too good in the college, gradewise.
Cs and Ds with just enough Bs to get him into the governorship.
That doesn't mean that much to me as I wasn't that great in the grade area either.
Cs and Ds with just enough Bs to get me into the world of politics, telemarketing, brothels, and later on, casinos(it's all on my resume!) with a side trip here lately into the world of the unemployed, long term unemployed at that.
So is Rick Perry dumb?
Maybe.
But seriously, how many 'dumb' presidents has the U.S. had and we're still drowning, but living?
Plenty, right? Probably all of them has some form of 'Dumbness' in them which is the reason they decided to become politicians in the first place.
I decided to hit The Rick Perry for President website (http://www.rickperry.org ) and discovered, I could be a politician too.
I know enough to bullshit up a website, add phrases like, "Champion of the Conservative Principles" and then smile after I said it, not laugh, that'd be wrong.
"On August 13, 2011, Rick Perry announced his candidacy for President of the United States, declaring “It’s time to get America working again… The change we seek will never emanate out of Washington, D.C. It will come from the windswept prairies of Middle America, the farms and factories across this great land, from the hearts and minds of the goodhearted Americans who will accept not a future that is less than our past…patriots who will not be consigned to a fate of less freedom in exchange for more government. We do not have to accept our current circumstances. We will change them. We are Americans.”
God love you Rick, but maybe you are dumber than I, you left out the West America, where the cowboy "fishes" with his buddy at Brokeback Mountain.
You left out the East America, where the 'Shores' are filled with something, we're not sure what. They are Americans too.
Most are icky Americans, but Americans none the less.
Patriots? What about the Jets?
The Detroit Lions?
Yes, they had a year with not a single win, but then again, the Patriots aren't that hot either!
As I read Rick's biography, I can imagine his life, no indoor plumbing, mom made his clothes, and after he graduated from Paint Creek High(13 students that year, bigger than my mom's class --- they had five!) he went to Berlin, and killed vampire nazis with his bare teeth!
He's cool like that.
Shouldn't America have a president like that?
Someone who can kill a vampire nazi using nothing but their teeth?
Rick Perry believes so.
And so do I!
He'll trim down the economic problems, with his teeth.
He'll create jobs, with his teeth.
And above all, he'll kill those damn vampire nazis in DC, with his teeth.
If he can lead Texas, he can lead the USA!!
Right?
RIGHT!!!

Dear Mr. God, I am sorry i put the thought of Perry and the thought of being elected president in the same paragraph. Do not take this as wishful thinking, thank you Lord.
diana, and we have Texas to thank for his rise to fame!! Wooooo!! Who else to Texas create? Why The Bushes!! Wooooooo!!! I LOVE YOU TEXAS!! :D
(Seriously, he'll make a fine prez!! He'll wave, we'll swoon, it's the way of The American Political System!!! ;D)
On second thought, any comment about perry would be a joke.
There's some OS person who is amused (or indignant) that there is so much talk on OS about how the Republican candidates are dumb. I say nominate a smart one.
When you ‘MerryKhans want to find a really dumb presidential candidate you’ve got Texas to fall back on. Not to mention Alaska.
All we Canucks have is Newfoundland - and even they are too smart to live in Texas.....
Some folks just has all the fun.....

I showed him!
He also promised me a job as White House barber after he won. And he said I could shine shoes too!
I'm Barack Obama, and I approve Rick Perry's message so much I'm going to use it for my own.
RICK PERRY 2012 --- WE'RE GOING TO TAKE IT TO THE PEOPLE!! Whoooo!!
:D
Just kidding, Tink for President --- we'll nuke ya either way!! ~:D
sky, you Canadians need to import some of our lovely politicers!! ~:D
President Obama, hey wait, he told me I could shine his shoes!! THAT BASTARD!!!
That's it, we'r back to Michele Bachmann for PRez...she promised I could snap her bra if I wanted!! Wooo!! :D
Dumb- maybe.
Hypocritical, sactimonious, bigoted and treasonous- definitely.
.
Not sure how we get better results by not voting...? Keep voting and keep complaining-that's the American way.
Perry is NOT dumb. He IS a dishonest bastard who would pretend to be a socialist or a bunny rabbit if it would help him get elected.
The Tea Party thing is working now. When supporting Al Gore was working, he did that too. In the future, if making speeches in drag begins to work, Rick Perry will be out buying dresses and lipstick.
"Hu."
That's what I want to know. Who is the president of China?
"Hu Jintao is the President of China."
Well, crap! If you're not gonna tell me, I'm going huntin'.
A vote is supposed to be used to chose the person we want to have as our representative. It is NOT supposed to be used to try to select the “least bad” among those who want to be our rep.
Until such time as every ballot has the N.O.T.A. option, the only option for a person of conscience is to “vote with our feet”, i..e. to not vote at all. I don’t know about you but I consider my vote far too valuable to be given to someone whom I do not wish to represent me.
As to the old canard: “If you don’t vote, you have no right to complain”, I take an opposite view. In my book, if you voted for someone whom you didn’t want, just as the least bad choice, then YOU have no right to complain. You took part in an exercise designed to put into office people whom you do not much really want there. That is just plain silly. As long as people continue to throw their valuable vote to unworthy candidates, so long also can those chosen claim that they “earned” the votes of the electorate.
In a democracy people MUST have the option of saying, on their ballot, “I don’t want any of these jerks.” Right now we don’t have that option. One day when we do have that option, we’ll be able to send ALL candidates back-to-the-drawing-board, to rethink what it is they will do if elected.

Is the Pope Catholic?
Does a bear shit in the woods?
Is Open Salon slow?
al, nope, won't stop whining! PFFFT. The problem is, I didn't vote the scuds in such as Perry and Michele, and etc. I may have voted in Obama, but I still stand by that vote. Like I said, none of these folks have a plan to change things, none of them, they like to say NO NEW TAXES, etc. etc. to the cheering sheep, but that's it. How do you vote them out with the cheering sheep, that seemingly grows with days?
I will continue to whine and speak till I can do neither!! God bless America and the boat she sank on!!! :D
Julie, ~nodding~ :D
sky, that's the problem, we'd still get the same results. al makes points(except the whining, I LOVE WHINE!! :D) but, even if we, the people, at least most of us, stopped voting, the shit will still get elected in, it's a weird system, but it's ours!! TEARS!! :D
All I know is, 2012 election going to be the same shit only lots more, from both sides. ~shaking head~
They say they want to come together, be Americans, but they continue to fight over stupid shit, YOU NEED TO HOLD A SPEECH THIS DAY...:(
John, EXACTLY!! We keep voting, we keep whining(I like whining better than complaining, I can make hehe with I like whine!! :D) and at least we can say, WE VOTED FOR THE OTHER GUY. Typical election is like voting for which cobra you want to be bit by, A or B!!
bobbot, ~nodding~ I don't know who I'm cheering for in this election, the whole crew seems to be bitchy teenage girls fighting over an asshole boyfriend!! ~nodding~
Cat, sure did!! ;D
Kate, ~L~ Sarah Palin is my friend!! Teehee!! :D
heron, you been spending too much time with those super models!! :D
Hair shouldn't move in hurricane winds!! ;D
Belinda, ~nodding~
sky, see, I vote, have since I've been able to, that way, I can say with a smile on my face, I VOTED FOR THE OTHER GUY....~nodding~ :D
Seriously, until that time of N.O.T.A. or a true fighter of an independent, there is Cobra A and Cobra B.
And even if I don't vote, Cobra A or Cobra B will go to their spot among the other cobras.
~nodding~
As I’ve said elsewhere: “Don’t vote! It only encourages them.”
Trudge, I know!! COMMIE BASTARD!! :D
Chrissie, that's the ticket, or write in MICKEY MOUSE!! :D
Razzle, ~nodding~ Oh my, yes he would!! ~:D
Sheila, yes he is, the sequel, me and him be smoochie smoochie!! :D
Matt, don't be like that my friend, if Rick was Prez, he would have stopped the hurricane with his mind!! OOOOOOO!! :D
Dandy, because we can't!! Wait.....Rick could!! :D
sky and Al, RICK PERRY ISN'T A COBRA, HE'S THE ONE....like in The Matrix, only we're not!! Teehee!! :D
We consistantly elect the dumbest people we can find. Perry does fit the bill. So did Nixon, Reagan, and Bush, yet there they were standing on the podium in their President suits.
We love our ignorant and our asses. Because of them we make the stupidest decisions. Because of them the rich get very rich. Because of them our soldiers get dead, and because of them our country teeters on the brink of insolvency.
.
And do you know what?
NONE OF THEM BASTARDS HAVE ANSWERED!!!
The cod suckers!!
So I've begun a new series, I AM AN AMERICAN --- the revue!! And so far, do you know what I found?
Mitt Romney is the cheapest of the choices when it comes to buying one of their t-shirts...$30 for a Mitt. Michele wants $35. I can't remember what Obama wants, more than $30.
I VOTE FOR NONE OF THE ABOVE --- t-shirt from them? $19.95!!!
WHAT A DEAL!! :D
Awesome!! ~L~
Marilyn, you might be right!!! We need Texas(Tex-Mex) for certain things(Texans mostly!! I got a lot of friends in Texas---though one of them did runaway to Canada and the other passed away....god I miss him!! :( ) but mostly, yeah, so we can puke just a little thinking of lovely Perry!! ~:D
Abrawang, yeah, you're right, much too hard!! ~nodding~ I'm thinking about writing an Obama piece, how he smiles too much while saying 'Douchensize' :D
ANY of them would have to pay me to take one of their T-shirts. And they’d better pay good too - it takes effort to cut one’a them things up into cleaning rags for my litter-box.......
.
Princess, I think you are correct! ~nodding~
Trey, BOOBS!! BOOBS!! :D
Oh, does that mean I can qualify to run for president. I know how to smile and wave. I even like kissing babies, if they are clean.
