It appears that class warfare is totally OKIYAR.
Rick Perry’s newest web video is a slick, dramatic attack on Mitt Romney’s health care record, but the jab that stands out is aimed at Romney’s personal wealth.
“Even the richest man can’t buy back his past,” the video says.
Perry has talked extensively about his humble upbringing in Paint Creek, Texas, which contrasts with Romney’s privileged background.
Looking forward to wingnuts calling the Secessionist “anti-American” and accusing him of “pitting Americans against Americans.”

I’m gonna miss things like Batshit Crazy Bachmann goin’ down on a corn dog. These two clowns can’t be anywhere near as entertaining.
Uuurp..
How did I stumble into this? :)
Closing eyes and backing up.
Maybe we’ll get lucky and there’ll be a photo op with Perry slurping a ceviche taco. (I couldn’t help myself, sorry.)
Hey, I’ve got another show on WMNF you might like. Sunday evenings from 9-11pm ET. Two Worlds. Native American music. You’ll hear things like this:
Crazy Horse
Good post, Blue Texan! Let the games begin!
demi and SD
Thanks for the great links yesterday and today.
The corn dog and ceviche….not so much :)
Rude, crude and socially unacceptable. That’s me. *g*
Keep that dream alive, BT.
…can’t take you anywhere…..
Heh, SD and I can multitask, be enigmatic at times, but, we’re pretty much always fun.
For sure. Save me a seat, ok?
I’m so confused. I thought we were supposed to cheer for the rich people?
in other news: Man of the People Mitt sent in his proposed anthem for OWS.
:P
Top of the list, darlin’.
So when all else fails cannibals eat each other , great show jenius’ and morans.
The GOPers don’t want Mitt, but they’re running out of options. If I were Perry, I’d double down on Crazy. Start calling the Mormans a cult, and hint darkly that it’s finaced by George Soros and illegal immigrants.
Then blame Marijuana smoke for global warming and try to get possession changed to a capital offense.
Boxturtle (And blame all non-crime deaths on Obamacare)
There is a really big eeewwwwww factor there!
I thought Rick was gonna call out Mitt for wanted to repeal Dodd Frank. Guess I was wrong…
LOL! one of his greatest hits from 2008 campaign! :)
all kidding aside, I don’t know what the big deal about being a Mormon is. Who cares? ok, I know the answer to that…the batshit crazy fundies care, but I don’t consider them Christians either.
Bingo, dosido.
Methinks “Regressive Greatest Hits, 2000 – 2012″ is gonna be a double disc DVD.
Mormons are two clicks to the right of most self proclaimed Christians using my brother, being a Mormon convert, as a basis.
ooo, that’s gonna leave a mark.
If we ever end up at the same event, we’ll have to wear name tags or nobody will be able to tell us apart.
Boxturtle (Once managed to recite the entire alphabet in one belch)
The problem is that in GOP circles, only Protestent Christians are acceptable.
Boxturtle (preferably Southern Baptist or Evangelical)
Tags is right. You guys belong on leashes :)
I gots a really big hat.
It’s that Otherism thing. You wouldn’t think it would be operational in churches, but go figure…
“I like your Christ, but I’m not sure about your Christians” – Gandhi
Boxturtle (I find myself quoting Gandhi more and more as I get older and wiser)
yeah, just don’t tell me it’s stigmata…
Poor Mitt. He just doesn’t seem to appeal to the Rs. I really don’t care what his religion is. Religion has nothing to do with being President – although I might draw the line at voodoo. The Rs now have a religious test for their candidates and it violates everything America has always stood for.
zinger. good one, dosido.
lots of episcopalians too. they’re the ones with the money. baptists and evangelicals are the ones with the TV shows.
Me too. Dude was right. Imagine that.
Another bingo.
think so? Thanks. I was wondering if it was too Catholic for the fundies referenced.
It cracks me up. I mean, they hate him for being phony?
meanwhile, herman is raising cain by trying to out bigot the bigots. wow, just wow.
Perhaps too Catholic and too catholic, if ya get my drift :)
No, no, sheesh, with a stigmata they’d be runnin’ around sayin’ they’re the Messiah.
we’re multitasking
I’m starting to think ‘ol Herm’s got a real shot.
That bit the other day where he said if you’re broke and unemployed it’s your fault was music to the wingnuts ears. I could almost see his poll numbers rising.
Perry appears to be like a character out of ‘Cool Hand Luke’ or ‘Sounder.’ He seems so yesterday–like a part of our nation’s painful past. Next.
Clever girls.
It’s back to housework for me. Oh boy!
I wonder how many of those “evangelilcal Christians” don’t know that Jesus was a Jew????? I’ll bet it’s more than you’d think.
That’s pretty much their MO, no ?
I love it when the republicans get down in the mud. Be advised, there is NO LEVEL Perry,(and his PAC’s) won’t sink to in his effort to win the nomination. You just watch.
Trust me, the show hasn’t even begun.
It’s in the brochure…..
On a night right after we first started protesting in St Pete in 02 there was a fundie lady who didn’t believe the Old Testament was also known as the Hebrew Bible. It’s a wonder they know who Jesus was.
I once had a “debate” with a devout Christian over the “Last Supper” actually BEING a Jewish “seder and that the “unlevened” bread becoming the modern day “eucharist”.
What a hoot that was. I then said, “If the three wise men ‘followed a star in the east’ from Persia, how in the hell did they end up in Jerusalem. which is to the west?”
They all looked like they were tryine to compute the square root of 347.
:)
I have encountered at least one Pentecostal who didn’t even recognize the Sermon on the Mount. He called it “liberal crap.”
:o
18.62794…
I had a cousin who could do that sort of thing….I was sooo jealous…;)
WOW. Glad you’re on OUR team.
I like those n*****head camps!!!!! What route do I take and which fork? I got me 2nd amendment rights, you becha! Please send to my SuperPac fund $1,000..2,000, up to 10,000 for one night. P. O. Box dad’s place.
