"I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a Christian, but you don't need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school. As President, I'll end Obama's war on religion. And I'll fight against liberal attacks on our religious heritage. Faith made America strong. It can make her strong again. "
- Governor Rick Perry
FUCK. HIM.
The stupidity of this statement could only come from both a higher education and a blatant avoidance of actually having BEEN in the military. Not knowing just how truly heart-wrenching it is to serve while wearing a mask of 'non-offensiveness' to your co-workers. Not understanding that even admitting it is opening a gateway for quiet beatings behind a building...beatings if you're LUCKY.
Anyone who votes for this asshole deserves no respect. None. You vote for Rick Perry, you have shown your colors by effectively trying to promote to highest office a man who is not only a bigot, but an arrogant conservative right-wing douchebag Republican with slick words that carry no promise of actually doing anything but promoting more hurt and suffering on people *WHO DON'T NEED IT RIGHT NOW.*
Between this, Michelle Bachmann promising to reduce gas prices to under $2 dollars again (as if that was Obama's fault), Ron Paul being against national healthcare while abandoning his previous campaign manager to pneumonia and letting the manager's wife be saddled with $400,000 worth of medical bills (because THEY couldn't afford it), and Herman Whats-his-ass paying off two secretaries or whoever to keep from telling how he sexually harassed them, I have no godly clue how anyone could vote Republican this coming election.
If they win, we're all fucking doomed. All of us. Our country will likely start World War III and that'll be the end because of some Christian dipshit firing off bombs at people who he thought deserved it...EVEN WHEN KILLING IN GOD'S NAME IS NO JUSTIFICATION.
Fuck.

What the fuck is he talking about? What kind of warped alternate reality is this pile of diseased pus living in!?
I could go on a rant here about how every last word in that quote of his just drips with cynical malice, dishonesty, dishonor, arrogance and sickening entitlement, but I just don't have the heart for it. If there's one good thing about Rick Perry, it's that he doesn't hide what he is. Anyone with a heart should be able to look at him and smell sulfur in their nostrils.

Actually, this makes me happy. Look at all these people the republicans love. See how crazy they are? See how easily they give into scandal and corruption?
Republicans have been living in a fantasy ever since Reagan and what George HW Bush called "Voodoo Economics" (before he supported it, naturally). And it's just been getting worse and worse. You see, when you live inside a bubble, reality will try to force its way in. So you have to do more and more to maintain the bubble. It's like drug tolerance in a way. Only now, they've reached a problem. They are so far gone that they can't find anyone to lead them who is not bat-shit insane and dripping in scandal. They can't hold back reality anymore.
We may very-well be seeing the death-throes of the republican party as we speak.
