Stupid Republican idea of the day

Somebody ought to let him know that our historical forebears have got no business COMMANDING us to do jack shit. :cool: :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley:

And pray tell, what does he think of drug addicts (of which he is one)?

Rush just loves to hear himself talk and just seems to like to throw in the subject of liberals on any topic it seems

He was driven to his drug habit by liberals, its just because he loved America too much. Or was that the other poisonous shitass?

Michigan governor Rick Snyder, on the flooding in Detroit and the crumbling of the highways: “I feel your pain. We had damage to our lake house and to our vacation home.”

Breaking news: Rick Perry indicted for abuse of power

The part I’m sure Bricker and other conservatives will focus on:

Legally he did nothing wrong, but it looks bad when the governor is apparently using his powers to punish his political opponents. Plus, if he couldn’t fire her outright, it seems like obvious abuse if he’s trying to coerce her into quitting. Since he apparently made the threat in public and before his actual veto, this seems like a pretty open and shut case. My liberal senses are tingling in hope for Perry running for president from his jail cell! :smiley:

I hope Perry remembers he has the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney and… some third thing that slips my mind.

Seems pretty weak tea, especially for Texas politics. Heck, even if he was convicted “of something”, most of the appelate judges owe him their offices.

Personaly, I’d indict him for those foolish glasses.

Wait, how is this a stupid Republican idea?

If you are running for President, it is stupid to commit a felony that could get you 99 years in the slammer?

Tonight, Molly Ivins is drinking bourbon with Mark Twain and they are cracking each other up with jokes about Rick Perry and Texas politics…

They have a teleprompter embedded. No more forgetting the third thing.

I understand that part of the world is home to cougars, packs of coyotes, alligators, scorpions, rattlesnakes, cottonmouths, and poisonous spiders. And not one of them could step up to the plate and take a chunk out of this guy while he splashed around in the water? Thanks, animal kingdom.

Well, that and helping his girl friend get an abortion.

In this case, I think we’re just regarding this as the “Stupid Republicans” thread. I doubt Ricky will serve time, but we’re hoping for a Rick Perry Mug Shot. And new material for Jon Stewart.

For a Stupid Republican Trick, check out Perry’s photo op with National Guardsmen at Bastrop (far from the Border but on a facility were protesting is not allowed).

And never mind that the Border counties don’t want the National Guard (whose deployment will cost Texas 2 Million a month) They tend to vote Democrat, anyway…

I’d say turning portions of your own state into something that looks like land occupied by a foreign power is a stupid Republican trick of the first order.

Yeah, and tell Edmund Burke that, too.

Aren’t the National Guard (I’m English) basically reserve milita units, not full time?

So doesn’t calling them up involve dragging people away from their families and jobs. I’d be pretty pissed to be called away from home for a Governors photo-op.

Unless that’s more or less what you’re paid to do. NG sits around a lot.
