Re: Perry - Intellectual Heavyweight?
because there have been too many?...or because?
What is wrong with southern governors, that you don't want one in the white house?
Is it some issue you have with southerners in general?

Re: Perry - Intellectual Heavyweight?
Hell, if he will promise to just pray that God smites the heathens instead of using our military it would be a big improvement. I bet the whole world would breath easier knowing that all they have to fear is Perry's God.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Re: Perry - Intellectual Heavyweight?
Perhaps because the two from recent memory, Bush the Lesser and Clinton, left a bit to be desired?
I'd certainly rate Clinton above Bush, but Clinton bears a lot of responsibility for the mess we're in today. He just managed to achieve a budget surplus and didn't invade (or perpetuate an invasion of) any foreign nations.
That last really shouldn't need to be mentioned on a list of accomplishments, but given the last decade it's become rather relevant.

really? the guy that messed up Kosovo, The Balkans war, Rwanda, and Mogadishu? Are you talking about the guy from hope, the guy that wanted to flex his government muscles by attacking eccentric isolationists, at Ruby Ridge, and Waco Texas (where his fed death squad murdered 73 innocent american citizens, who were mostly women and children)? the guy that used that illegal government action against its own civilians, as an example to pass the 1994 federal assault weapons ban?
he is not innocent next to W., its rare for a president to go through impeachment proceedings now mater how bad they are at it. Of course he did not invade any foreign countries, nor did he do anything about genocide TWICE during his presidency, and he was busy invading Texas, to get bad shit passed. I think its fitting the POTUS after him came from Texas.

Only a total nutjob thinks that either Ruby Ridge or Waco were caused by anyone other than Randy Weaver and David Koresh.

Interesting, glad you expressed your opinion, but did you actually use the term "sheeple"?

Re: Perry - Intellectual Heavyweight?

Maybe time has clouded my memory, but I was under the impression that we ... y'know ... won that one.
the guy that wanted to flex his government muscles by attacking eccentric isolationists, at Ruby Ridge, and Waco Texas (where his fed death squad murdered 73 innocent american citizens, who were mostly women and children)?
* sighs *
The Special Counsel [former Republican Senator John Danforth] noted, by contrast, that recorded interceptions of Davidian conversations included such statements as David said we have to get the fuel on and So we light it first when they come in with the tank right . . . right as they’re coming in. Davidians who survived the fire acknowledged that other Davidians started the fire. FBI agents witnessed Davidians pouring fuel and igniting a fire, and noted these observations contemporaneously. Lab analysis found accelerants on the clothing of Davidians, and investigators found deliberately punctured fuel cans and a homemade torch at the site. Based on this evidence and testimony, the Special Counsel concluded that the fire was started by the Davidians.
... and he was busy invading Texas ...
It's not actually a foreign country.

It's a term used by paranoid lunatics for people who aren't paranoid lunatics. It's intended to imply that the underlying cause of their failure to believe mad things is mindless conformity rather than not being mad.
E.g:
David Icke explains how the panic-stricken elite are desperate to put the lid back on a global awakening that is stalling their agenda for world domination.reptile demons in parallel universes have interbred with humans and created human lizard hybrids that run the planet.The sheeple are unable to change - this is because of the Transmigration of the Soul - which is not reincarnation but an imprinting. Truth which is what David is trying to convey is but for the few - it is called esoteric evolution - or the fourth way and it extremely difficult to achieve. So for the masses it's tough luck.

oh you mean the 1st special counsel ever, and one appointed by Janet Reno herself. I'm sure he was very objective and unbiased [sarcasm].
FBI agents witnessed Davidians pouring fuel and igniting a fire, and noted these observations contemporaneously.
oh you mean those same FBI agents that lied under oath?
Between 1993 and 1999, FBI spokesmen denied (even under oath) the use of any sort of pyrotechnic devices during the assault; however, pyrotechnic Flite-Rite CS gas grenades had been found in the rubble immediately following the fire. In 1999, FBI spokesmen were forced to admit that they had used the grenades...When the FBI's documents were turned over to Congress for an investigation in 1994, the page listing the use of the pyrotechnic devices was missing. [26] The failure for six years to disclose the use of pyrotechnics despite her specific directive led Reno to demand an investigation. [26] A senior FBI official told Newsweek that as many as 100 FBI agents had known about the use of pyrotechnics, but no one spoke up until 1999.
good call

the same thing was said of Jews who escaped the holocaust.

Technically, yes, since it was called the Office of the Independent Counsel until 1999 ...
... and one appointed by Janet Reno herself. I'm sure he was very objective and unbiased [sarcasm].
Well, he was a Republican.

I don't know if they were the same ones; and in this instance their story is confirmed by the surviving Davidians.

That sentence was such a bizarre non sequitur that I am not sure what you're trying to be wrong about.

there are also survivors who say the Feds started the fire. you found a lying fed organization and one survivor to corroborate your side, big deal.
