I said no more Journey psyche outs!
Whats more likely is that Perry is gonna lose in the primaries and just be done with politics. There are a lot of conservative nutjobs in the US, but I think he's just going to get less and less popular as time goes on.
And you said... So vote for a different republican and they were all like" durr that's stoopied "I've had that discussion with people before.
Kay Bailey Hutchison would not have been much of an improvement.
And I'm out & ignoring everything else you have to say on the subject. Her ramblings include such gems as, "Mexico is a failed state." and the abolition of property taxes to fund schools. Indeed, she proposes to defund ALL schools and also remove truancy laws. Who needs all them poor kids getting themselves learnin'? Her platform should be "privatize everything", which we all know just does not fucking work. When you privatize everything and have no governmental oversight, you get things like Enron, the housing crisis, the bank bailouts, the prison-industrial complex, etc. etc. etc. Big business is already running everything, last thing we need is another lunatic championing them and catering to their every whim.[DOUBLEPOST=1373314919][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh, and don't forget she wants interstate sales of all guns without licensing restrictions. Yeah, she's not a nutjob at all.[DOUBLEPOST=1373315050][/DOUBLEPOST]
You underestimate the power of the idiot voting block. Poor, under-educated people voting against their own issues. We call these people Southern Republicans and "Libertarians". I say that in quotes because I've never met one that didn't espouse republican ideologies out of one side of their mouth without denying their obvious roots from the other.[DOUBLEPOST=1373315080][/DOUBLEPOST]And weird how I posted after you and it quoted you in a double post above. Huh.
Perry is not going to make it through the primaries, and he certainly won't win a general election. He's got problems with three major voting groups: women, minorities, and...the uhhh...what's the third one there...let's see...uh...I can't think of the third. Sorry.
First of all, my main goal was to make a joke. Let's be clear on that.
It is. Dude, haven't you seen the least bit of what's going on in mexico the last decade? The government has pretty much lost all control of the north half of the country to direct control by drug cartels. They've been hemorrhaging citizenry over our border for as long as any of us have been alive and longer. The only other nation that loses citizens that fast that I can recall was East Germany when the wall came down.
I don't disagree that she's got a lot of ideas that won't work. But to have a Libertarian, ANY Libertarian, in the governor's office would be a strong impetus for the reduction of government. The more out-there ideas will get shot down by the still-just-Rs-and-Ds state legislature, but the tone will be set for the momentum of government to start moving in the right direction.
Let's hope so. This guy is the best thing to happen to the Daily Show in ages.
Not sure which human history you're talking about, but most of ours consisted of absolute authoritarianism.
So what you're saying is, when we really gave minimal government a chance, it was idyllic?
I disagree. I would argue the "size" of government is more measured by how much control and influence it has in the lives of the governed. Even monetarily, however, most monarchies have sucked up a great deal of the available wealth.
You're right, I was poking fun at how you started out saying it'd "been tried" as if to say it was discounted as a failure, then referred to it as "egalitarian."
Ah, the tyranny of the individual! Only the thoroughly subjugated are truly free, eh?
Just send him some syrup and he'll forget he's even running.
Then I ask again - surely you are not of the opinion that, at 9 trillion a year and rising fast, the one thing we can't possibly try is maybe a little less government?
It'd be pretty hard to top Perry, he was pretty high up there with everything that's wrong with a Politician/Republican/Person.
Well, I don't know anything about anyone in the running, so I'll take your word for it. It's just that every time humanity has ever said "this is the worst it could possibly get", things would usually get even worse.
I don't believe so. The 2010 tx gov R primary I think was just three people, and two of them were Rick Perry and Kay Bailey Hutchison. So I may be mistaken but I think these are all fresh faces.
One of them was Debra Medina she's just the best she's on paper as a republican but has a lot of libertarian learnings
Is your keyboard broken i mean i dont see any punctuation you just have this awful run on sentence word vomit
