Rick Perry Is a Socialist in a Secessionist Costume

Texas governor Rick Perry will win the Republican presidential nomination. I could be very wrong about this, but the modern history of Republican presidential politics vindicates the prediction.

Republican primary voters, along with the marketing-obsessed power elite driving the clown car, have historically flocked to candidates at every level who are just like Perry. Not that Perry invented the paradigm, but he fits precisely into the well-crafted paper doll persona devised sometime around the era of Reagan's ascension when wonky button-down conservatives began their slow extinction in favor of a new breed of crazy-eyed ideological poseurs and performers.
