If this story's true, then I'll have to change my sig, as I will not be voting for Obama next year.

15. He did not say:
"Staying home and ignoring your responsibilities is the ultimate solution."

Harry S. Truman: "These polls that the Republican candidate is putting out are like sleeping pills designed to lull the voters into sleeping on election day. You might call them sleeping polls."

6. It will not
Be Bachmann, it WILL be Rick Perry. This guy scares me, he can win, and the way Obama is acting right now, I really think he will.

9. Rick Perry is gay, so no, it won't be him
Yes, we elected a black President but even that chaps the Republicans butts. No way, no how are they going to elect a gay man, even if he is closeted and married. And if it's a known fact in Texas (and it is, I lived there long enough to know), then it won't be a secret the moment he tries to go national. Last I heard, Saner heads had prevailed ( his wife and likely, his lover). But that was last week. This week Guvna Goodhair could be back to self delusion.

11. But will anyone out him? I've been waiting
for that, and it seems like the chatter has decreased. Did he get an old lover killed off?

Rick Perry needs to be revealed for all the crap he has put our state through, including school districts charging kids to ride the bus, destroying our public schools, stealing funds for venture capital for his buddies, etc.

18. If the country does take a screwing on these 'deals', when the President
Edited on Fri Jul-22-11 07:11 AM by Obamanaut
begins his campaign in earnest person A will say what an articulate and well-spoken man he is. Person B will accuse person A of being racist, Person C will pile on and then the arguments will begin.

And the screwing will be forgotten during the heat of the battles of words, and nearly every incumbent who seeks reelection will be successful.

The seats left to battle over will be the ones being vacated due to death or retirement.

The people in DC know this. We tend to vote for "the name you know."
