| Rick Perry-Dumb or No? Google Images |
Moving on to the man, the candidate, the Texan himself, Rick Perry turns to the public and says, "Can I get mo'?" Going on Hannity's radio show, he was asked what his response to the article on politico.com titled, "Is Rick Perry Dumb?" was. The answer, "What’s dumb is to oversee an economy that has lost that many millions of jobs, to put unemployment numbers that over his four years will stay probably at 9 percent, to downgrade the credit of this good country, to put fiscal policies in place that were a disaster back in the '30s and to try them again in the 2000s, that’s what I consider to be the definition of dumb." Fact is, Rick Perry in his time as Texas Governor has doubled the debt in Texas, raised the spending level by about $40 billion, and has in fact, raised taxes drastically in the state, despite saying that he has a "track record" of not raising taxes. Hell, there are 23 states that have lower unemployment rates than Texas.
I do not believe Rick Perry is dumb. I do however believe that he campaigns untruthfully and is, at times, hypocritical. Example, he has no problem saying that Obama's policies are dumb and completely off the wall. But when Mitt Romney comes after him (indirectly) in a speech, Perry responds," This presidential race has no room for verbal barbs. Frankly, I don't know Governor Romney well enough on a personal basis." But he spends weekends in Vegas with Barack Obama. Great job Rick Perry.
Happy Trolling!
