it would be funny if there were some decent alternatives.

Conservatives are very strange people.

Heh.

I’ll give you the strange.

Not sure about the “people” part. If so, they’re missing something ordinary people have.

Like empathy.

Anyone here remember Fred what’s his name that was going to ride in on the white horse and save the conservatives in 2008. Last seen hawking reverse mortgages!

I swear every time I see one of those commercials my blood boils.

In a sane country, those commercials would be illegal.

And it’s Thompson btw.

now if Kookie Cokie gets on board!!!

Going with Krauthammers record, oh for nothing, I would jump for joy if that ignorant secessionist Perry dived in.

Roll ‘em all out, let them expose themselves for the crazy sumbitches they are and drive everyone of them into the poor house for trying..

Divide and conquer baby.

I’ve been waiting for Fox to settle on a candidate. Looks like it might be “Presidential Hair” (PH) Perry. He’s the closest thing they are going to get to someone to knit together the Republican factions.

Has anybody seen any GE polling of Obama vs. Perry?

Perry hasn’t even announced yet and already has problems in Iowa.

Snicker

Calling them people is being far to generous. Life form would be more appropriate.

If that comment were helpful, I’d smile.
But, I understand the entertainment value of those kind of comments here.
Hiya sadly.

When the only positive thing you can say about a candidate is “Good Hair”, well….

Boxturtle (I should keep my mouth shut, we can’t say “good hair” about Obama)

I have to stand up here and say that RevBev called this one months ago. And, no I don’t have a link. If you really need one, you can find what she said through myfdl.
She called it and I don’t need O’Reilly or anyone else to make it legitimate.
PS, let’s listen to each other. There is No Label that makes any of us personal no gratis.
Listen and contemplate is what I’m saying.

That looks like an artefact of his late entry into the race. Which will definitely cause some problems. OTOH, it gave a chance to other candidates to crash and burn (Gingrich, Pawlenty, Trump) before riding in on his white horse to save the day. I don’t claim to understand the logic behind the late entry, but obviously somebody thought it was a good strategy. Maybe he wanted to be sure of where Romney’s ceiling was, and if there were enough teabaggers to beat him.

Bob Riley, of Alabama, also has presidential hair. He’s one of the most corrupt SOB’s on the planet, with direct ties to Jack Abramoff and Michael Scanlon, but that should enhance his popularity among the GOP.

Perry will be “Hair today, goon tomorrow”

I always wonder if Perry really has any concept of what it would cost Texas to exist if they did secede? Especially after all the federal government facilities were pulled out of Texas, let alone the defense contracts. And then there would be costs like patrolling the Oklahoma border.

When two,ahem, prominent journalist in this country with the ability to reach millions of viewers resort to condoning a possible Presidential bid by comparing hair styles, they have jumped the shark.

KRAUTHAMMER: Presidential hair of the Reagan.

How shallow and uninformative can you possibly get?

I remember that end line from the joke/story from Girl Scout Camp.
I don’t particularly care that much about hair, but I do care about the negative affects the goons have on us.
(but thanks for the memory.)

Polls:

North Carolina (July 18) Perry 45, Obama 42

Texas (June 29) Obama 47, Perry 45

Rick “Goodhair” Perry. How I miss Molly Ivins.

Hair today—-Goon tomorrow

BTW, my system crashed and I had to do a hard reboot after I wrote #18, before I could hit “submit”. After reboot FireFox came back up, displayed this page, including my post ready to be submitted. How cool is that?

Molly Ivins, bless her, is smiling in the great beyond.

Perry has a big problem dog that won’t hunt.

Heh, Obama 47 Perry 45 in Texas??

I don’t know who did that polling, but I’ll bet money to donut holes Obama won’t beat ANY Gooper in Texas, including Perry. Especially Perry.

Throw Dan Quayle on that list.
Tucker Carlson’s bio pretty much begins and ends at “decent hair weave” too.

Oops, nevermind.

Upon clicking and reading I see PPP did the poll and they acknowledge the same thing, Obama likely wouldn’t beat Perry or any GOOPER.

My bad.

(Note to self: READ first, THEN comment.)

Talking about a candidate’s hair is shallow and uninformative?

Imagine.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if a guy who wanted his state to leave the union because he hated the gov’t became the prez! He’s a joke.

Whenever I think of Perry touting his “jobs” record, I remind people that the jobs he’s talking about are very low-wage, exploitative-type “labor.” As opposed to ones that folks can actually live off of in some relatively comfortable fashion.

But now I’m thinking that’s why Perry’s becoming so popular among establishment conservatives with money and clout. Because those crappy jobs are exactly the types of jobs those folks WANT to be created. They could give a fuck how many middle- upper management/executive positions Perry’s “policies” have created. These guys want fodder, godammit!

What a great interview. The “Killer of Dr. Tiller” interviews a conservative religious loony hypocrite. Glad they agreed on the hair. Too bad they don’t understand this moron has zero chance of becoming president. O’Reilly should get back to what he does best: goading his minions into killing doctors.

As far as the polling goes, Perry doesn’t have great name recognition outside of Texas, yet. He hasn’t announced. It’s way early in the cycle. I think the interesting thing is that the two polls show a close race. Really, they are in the same category as Romney’s numbers, who has better name recognition.

Romney can’t get the fundies and the teabaggers. Perry can.

I expect the establishment to throw Romney under the bus by September.

Well, we can follow polls, and make snarky metaphors about hair, but I prefer to follow what’s on people’s hearts.
That it is all. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst, and do what you can to be productive. Best wishes for all today.

“…I prefer to follow what’s on people’s hearts.”

That sounds really nice… but since there’s absolutely NO WAY for anybody to actually know with any degree of certainty what “on” or in anyone else’s heart; what you’re really telling us is that you prefer to go through life believing what you want to believe, facts be damned.

I’m sorry you see it that way.
We can catch a glimmer of what’s going on in people’s hearts if we pay attention.
There is no way that you can determine that I’m going to go through life believeing what I want to. I like facts, and some facts are what people say.
You just being angry and silly is what I’m seeing from your words.

Don’t get me wrong, I think I have a pretty good idea what was on Rick Perry’s heart when he groped a friend of mine–on more than one occasion–when she worked a few catering gigs at the Texas Governor’s mansion several years ago. But I have no way to know for certain what it was, exactly, do I? Maybe he just wanted a cheap thrill. Or perhaps it was true love. Who am I to say?

I don’t want to get you wrong. I was speaking in general about what’s on peoples’ hearts and I didn’t know you had a personal story.
But, you said we can Never know what’s in people’s hearts and then you say you have a pretty good idea of what was on RP’s heart when he groped your friend.
We are on very different pages in this conversation, so it makes it difficult.
I’m sorry your friend got groped. I hope she wasn’t asking for it. Makes it an even more challenging coversation.
I will leave you with my confirmation that I do not walk through life believing what I want to, although I have fairly strong principals that I stick to. I’m hoping it’s the same for you.

“I hope she wasn’t asking for it.”

I’m supposed to see her tomorrow. I’ll try to remember to ask her if she was wearing some sort of tarty french maid’s outfit or a regular chef’s coat. That would be a shame if Perry was lured into such behavior by my slutty friend’s wanton antics.

And, that’s a whole ‘nother can of worms, isn’t it?
Take care.

So… what? Are O’Reilly & Krauthammer gonna start pushing the notion that Hair Perry would be a great guy to go hang out with at the hair salon???

To recap: Demi “hopes for the best” but imagines Rick Perry groped my friend because she’s a slut and must have been “asking for it.” And she knows this by “paying attention to what’s on people’s hearts” and “sticking to her strong principals” rather than just believing what she wants to believe.

Rick Perry actually does have nice hair but it doesn’t look all that much like Romney’s to me. Reagan’s hair always looked like it had too much brillcream in it. Bill Clinton’s hair looks fantastic gray, much better than when he still had color.

As a Texan, I am ashamed to have this asshole as my Gov. As a veteran I consider his seccessionist talk to be treason. My hope in all this is that Perry is so completely and utterly defeated and humiliated that we would finally see an end to his career.

Perry is a dick, a liar and a traitor to this country. He’s not even a good Texan.

Maybe it’s my inability to correct comprehend what I’m reading, but I just didn’t get that from what Demi said.

YMMV.

Conservatives are very strange stupid people.

Can’t believe no one had fixed that yet.

That’s just creepy the way they’re massaging each others jocks.

I have seen that Fox programming is localized and transported to the Middle East, India, Brasil, China and any “developing” market in the sights of multi-national corporations where smart phones and computers are now sold.

Instead of being served manufactured media celebrity with gossip and the encouragement to go engage in self-destructive behavior inclusive of buy, buy, buy-ing imported slave-made goods, young people need education and socially meaningful roles and work that befit mature, free human beings. What we can do is to start to really stem the propaganda tide by helping close down a significant source of this.

Gee, I wonder what fruit loops one and two think about his French cuffs and cowboy books? They sound like a couple of hairdressers on a coffee clatch. Just saying.
