In a campaign she described as “ugly,” “unkind and unfair,” Anita lauded her husband for saying he made a mistake, and she argued it’s an admission of guilt she doesn’t “know how many other men would admit.”
“It’s already ugly,” she told Parade Magazine with laughter. “It’s so unkind and unfair because you know what? All we want to do is serve our country, fight for freedom, and bring back America, the greatest country in the world.”
Wah! Stop saying mean things about my husband!
This, from someone who’s married to a guy who called for secession, accused the newly-elected President Obama of being “hell-bent on socialism,” constantly repeats the lie that the president “apologizes for America,” accepted an endorsement from an unabashed bigot, accused a federal official of treason and threatened him with violence, and once suggested that gays move out of Texas.
Suck it up, Anita. Your husband — and his party — have been dishing out ugly for years.

The repuglican party put the “ug” in “ugly”.
But, I will agree with lovely Anita, the dastsrdly, despicable, black-hearted bastards (TM) that ARE the current GOP, seem to be routinely violating the 11th Commandment. But, Mrs. Perry, “that’s the pot calling the kettle black.”
“Your husband — and his party — have been dishing out ugly for years.”
True, but they are givers, not takers.
Who wrote that for her?

Very nicely stated.
It must be hard to be an Authoritarian in America to want to uphold tradition in a country of tons of different immigrants. It must be hard to respect authority where members of Outgroups like Gays, Dark People, Mormons etc have authority and the Ingroup Authority figures have tons of sex scandals (authoritarians hate sex scandals).
Anitia face it your husband supports religious nuts who want to establish one religion, one race, one set of values for all of America. Your husband wants the Christian version of Sharia Law for America and whats ironic is that America became a great place because people from every race, creed, religion came here because they were persecuted in their own countries.
Notice Europe is quite free of Fundi Preachers why because all you snake handling friends were kicked out and had to flee to America.
But what do you do when you get to America you get rich…and then you turn into the same people who kicked out your immigrant great grand parents.
You seek to recreate the religious wars in Europe that drove your families to America?
What makes you think you can win this time?
She’s projecting on us what she sees in the mirror but can’t admit to herself:) Wait…. she projects on us what she sees lying next to her at night but can’t admit to herself that she is sleeping with.
I guess she doesn’t have the chops to be First Lady then.
A closeted gay man?
The Perrys have had pretty “easy” going. Nobody running against him her in Texas has ever gotten “down and dirty”. Nobody every really challenged him in an election, except, Kay Baily Hutchison, and she was never really a “threat” and that campaign didn’t really develop into anything.
Methinks Mrs Perry is finding out that running for national office with HER husband ain’t no “walk in the park”. Since he announced, he’s been taking shots from all directions. And, from these polls, apparently, had about as much success as Butch and Sundance at the end of the movie.
The most recent NH polls show the “constant canonade” from his fellow candidates are really taking a toll.
Welcome to the “Bigs” Mrs. Perry. As they say: if ya can’t take the heat, better not go into the kitchen.
Sorry, the poll I was referring to is:
Mitt Romney 38%
Herman Cain 20%
Ron Paul 13%
Newt Gingrich 5%
Jon Huntsman 4%
Rick Perry 4%
Michelle Bachmann 3%
Gary Johnson 1%
Rick Santorum 1%
Don’t know 11%
By getting rid of the Outgroups and or making them conform to our values. We think anyone anywhere who does not conform to our values is a threat. Safety is conformity, Assimalte into the Borg Collective Resistance is futile!
We don’t want anyone to be free except if they live by our values (yes this statement contradicts itself unless you accept first that the ingroup’s values and logic is right about everything and its values are America’s values)
Never mind they deny science, the principle of harm in making laws (we make laws to prevent harm instead of we make laws based on a Jesus who hates sex never mind JC was never married lived with 12 guys and hung out with Fallen Women it is interesting to note JC was never called a virgin like his Mother was.
Authoritarians hate premarital sex even if they engage in it.
Never mind that America’s values are live and let live, no established religion, and we welcome all immigrants even authoritarian fundies who don’t respect other’s rights this last part I am having trouble with.
, and bring back America, the greatest country in the world.”
We are the greatest country because in a country that accepts new religions, people cultures we get a better mix of ideas and invent more cool shit.
Look at nuclear weapons we got them first because immigrants like Fermi, Enstein etc all felt safe coming to America rather than staying in Italy or Germany.
I just can’t figure her for the go-into-the-kitchen type. That’s what the 1% have illegal immigrants for.
I’ve heard rumors but I have nothing to add on that.
Wonder how many hispanic scientists are moving to Canada.

Valid point Anita has never faced a real campaign. The left fact checks statements for lies the Right just lies being from Texas she must not be used to the Right lying about her husband or the Left catching her husband lying.
From her emotional perspective yes we are being mean! She wants something her husband to be President and the Right and Left are yelling at her No!
Facts don’t matter lies don’t matter in the end we are both telling her No! She is pissed she has to work at getting what she wants when she is used to it being handed to her.
I think they are going to the super colider that found faster than light particles in the EU.:)
heh… yeah, perhaps the analogy ain’t apt in this case… but if the foo sh*ts, etc.
I think her title should be FHOH. First Hag Of Hatred.
Another conservative who thinks that the kharmic rule doesn’t apply to THEM.
You knew this was coming. Perry can get away with his flat-earth bullshit in Texas, but when he goes national, even mainstream repubs are offended…mostly because they know that the party crazies can’t win, nationally.
Don’t know should be in fourth position to be accurate. Is Don’t know in the next debate? I would like to submit a question.
Perry’s at 4% in New Hampshire. If he tanks in Nevada, too, then he’s got fund-raising problems that won’t whoa.
It’s Romney’s to lose.
Notice that of the one religion EU countries with nuclear weapons only France has them countries with one religion that worked more with the government Spain, Poland, Italy were so anti science, gravity, planets revolve around the sun not the earth, evolution etc that science is crippled in these countries. Possession of nukes is a tech benchmark we are all familiar with thats why I chose it.
If the fundies get their way and make science conform to their beliefs we can kiss our scientific edge good bye.
I can’t believe a GOPer from the state where Molly Irvins lived could have such thin skin.
Even the collateral damage from Molly’s writings is worse than the current rhetoric.
Boxturtle (Heck, there haven’t even been any real discussions of ancestery or personal habits yet)
My Dad help design quad cities nuclear plant’s structure he was a structural engineer he always wanted to be buried in Mexico he never felt accepted here.
Would he immigrate today probably.
Good point but wait truth hurts when you care about it! What recent attack on Perry would most likely cause his wife Embarrassment? Or maybe the Perry campaign got word of a new scandal coming out and Anita’s statement is preemptive damage control?
Who cares about someone who is polling 7 points behind Don’t know.
Team America, World Police!
I agree. Also, for those who didn’t see it…NJ’s Christie has announced he will endorse Romney prior to tonight’s NH debate. That could verrrrrry likely throw several % points to the “Mittster”. And could signal the exit of some of the lower ranking “candidates”.
LMAO!!!
America, fuck yeah!
Romney/Leiberman 2012 it’s a lock. I’m writing in Feingold as in fine the people with the gold.
LIEberman?
My turn to be sick. Where’s the bucket?
My picks in order…
Mitch Daniels, Marc Rubio, Jim DeMint, Bobby Jindal.
I don’t think he will pick one of the current pres candidates. But I wouldn’t bet against it.
I wouldn’t care if he picked a Khardashian. As my wall street buddies say the point is mute.
It should be Jebbbbb! It’s Jeb’s turn! where’s Jebbbbbb??? sniffle.
It’s so unkind and unfair because you know what? All we want to do is destroy the Kenyan Muslim Usurper who’s taken over the country and is remaking us in his filthy foreigner image and take the country back for Real Americans. Sheesh, what’s everyone being so mean for?
My sympathies are with the repugs this time around: get rid of the fraud in the WH. I actually don’t want the candidate from either party, so I may not cast a vote at that level.
