The GOP’s Funny Man

As many of you know, I am currently really disappointed with the Republican candidates, especially Rick Perry. While I don’t mean to harp on just one candidate, I’m going to on this one. I can’t help it, he really irritates the heck out of me. I’m sure I’m not the only one…

So Rick Perry has enlisted the so-called “Heavy Hitters” to his campaign staff. Come on, really? These clowns fit in with the Perry camp like clowns fit in at the Ringling Brothers Circus. These poor saps have very few, if any, victories in any political campaign, and now they are stuck fighting for Rick Perry. Talk about the ultimate career-ender. This guy is so out of touch that his new “Tax-Plan”, cuts taxes on the rich (once again), and taxes the heck out of everyone else. He really and truly believes it’s a great plan. I’m not so sure he even knows what he’s selling. This guy is completely out there.

Unfortunately, he actually thinks he has a chance at the White House with his new tax-plan. Well, in all honesty, he may have just bought the White House with this plan. That is, of course, under the current system of plutocrats buying their way into everything. Congress, The Senate, and The White House are all for sale in our current system. If we, as the people, were to fight to change the system and make it so getting into office isn’t so profitable and secure, then he wouldn’t be in the race. Most of them wouldn’t be.

The Republican party has turned into the party that wants to keep people unemployed, keep our country at war, and create a bigger divide between the rich and the poor. They are successfully killing the Middle-Class and destroying our country, piece by piece. Unbelievably, they mostly want Perry as their poster boy. And why not, Perry is the most dangerous one out of the bunch. Just take a look at Texas, he's leaving the great state ranking 50th in everything that is important (education, healthcare, etc.). He now wants to employ every failed “trickle-down” policy from the last 30 years. It seems as though he wants to lead us all the way back to the 1920’s. He is way off the deep end, or one beer shy of a six-pack (depending on which part of the country your from).

Perry actually said on a CNBC interview that he has not seen Obama’s grades, and that “mine were on the front-page, where are his”? Can you believe the arrogance coming from the same guy who barely skirted the “ni**er-head ranch” debacle? He is proving that his “good ole’ boy” image is nothing more than a brainless, wanna-be racist image. This tough guy image that he and Bush are famous for, is nothing more than a show to hide his ignorance. Drop him off in Brooklyn and let’s see how he does.

If we don’t fight to change the system, a guy like Perry could end up in the White House. We can not continue to allow our Democracy to be bought and paid for. It is not for sale! Write your “elected officials”, and I mean write them, everyday that you can. Bug the heck out of them. After all, you are their constituents, they are supposed to listen right? Well let me tell you from personal experience, if they want to keep their jobs, they will listen. If not, let them know at polls come the next elections. Fight back or we’ll never win!
