Rick Perry Makes Last Ditch Effort to Clinch GOP Nomination by Bashing the Gays

Apparently Perry didn't get the memo that only 9 percent of Iowa caucusgoers rank the culture war as a top priority.

Perry logic:

Gays openly serving in military makes us weak.

Students not allowed to pray in schools makes us weak.

Therefore

Gays openly praying in military schools will make us strong!

[Horologium]

+1

[Seer]

I look forward to the day when American schoolchildren will look back on these kinds of events with disgust at the bigotry that was normal within our society.

[American schoolchild]

God, you're such a gaywad.

[jtuf]

You mean like how today's American schoolchildren understand the sexist origins of minimum wage laws?

[Nicholas]

Tuesday?

[Gojira]

I'm looking forward to some sort of kristallnacht against the gays here in Texas now that the gov has taken this stance.

They hoard entirely too much wealth.

[tarran]

I am reliably informed by Hans Hermann-Hoppe that they have very high time preferences and thus do not hoard as much as heteros.

[BradK]

"They hoard entirely too much wealth"

Studies have shown that gays spend a large proportion of their wealth on fashionable clothing, hair products, and front row Lady Gaga tickets.

They aren't the 1% but they are the 5%.

[Audrey the Liberal]

I was thinking more like ten percent.

[Lost_In_Translation]

Its all in leopard skin rugs, a market which would collapse upon their extermination.

So be careful what you wish for...

(prior to seeing this ad)

Me:"Maybe Perry can make a run and push Newt back enough to get someone else some breathing room."

(watches ad)

Me:"FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!"

[Greg]

What a douche.

I tried to think of something slightly more refined to write, but I couldn't think of anything that summed up my feelings so perfectly.

[GroundTruth]

Another word to consider is "schmuk".

Just like the rest of religion, once you stop listening to it for while, and then go hear it again, it does make you wonder how anybody could be so insane and not be put away as a danger to society.

[Pro Libertate]

I think he should let his hair grow out and start touring with Journey again. Don't stop believing!

[Rick Perry]

Let my hair grow out? What do you think I am, a fag?

[akn]

We (gay guys) find few things less attractive than men with long hair...just FYI.

[Joe M]

Like this?

[Pro Libertate]

Not quite, no.

[Dan]

*sigh*

[Res Publica Americana]

Quality slipping, anybody?

That was an awesome ad. Paul needs ad like that.

I think Perry's giving up.

Gee, I wonder why...

[BradK]

Because Ricky is the sort of candidate that wants to hear from the people.

Just not all of them.

[howeecarr]

Whaddya gonna do...

[EDG reppin' LBC]

I don't even understand... why?

[Colin]

Don't quite understand the limited depth of field.

Perhaps to show his limited capacity?

[Joe M]

Glad to see the media treating this with the gravity it deserves.

[The Angry RPh]

When will these people learn to stop eating corn dogs in public?

[Dick Fitzwell]

"I'm Rick Perry and I approve this message."

No shit! I watched the words come out of your mouth! I hope you approve the fucking message, dipshit!

I always thought that the "approve this message" tagline was meant to show people that the candidate approves the message that was actually delivered by someone else. Like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtDBp1OrCwI

I approve this message.

[BJ]

Nope, it's just a law:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I.....is_message

..."I approve this message" ... "is a phrase said by candidates for federal office in political advertisements on television and radio in order to comply with the so-called Stand By Your Ad provision of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA)"

[R C Dean]

That right there could be a good ad for Paul:

"I paid for this ad, my name's all over it, and I spoke every word in it. But there's this stupid federal law that requires me to say magic words "I'm Ron Paul and I approve this ad." That's what this country has come to: the government dictating what Presidential candidates say in their campaigns. If that's not the America you want, vote for me."

[Rich]

Excellent, R C.

Don't forget to post at the bottom of the screen: "These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration."

[jtuf]

Memo to Perry, our American heritage includes a ground breaking case in colonial New Amsterdam. A Jew there won the right to take his turn guarding the city wall. It was one of many events that paved the way for religious tolerance in the West. Lets allow openly homosexual individuals in the military and abolish government schools.

[Audrey the Liberal]

But, but...Teh Gheys!

[Abdul]

I used to disbelieve the rumors that Perry was dumb. This convinced me otherwise.

With 10% unemployment, you think social conservative issues are the way to go? And what do you have to offer in that area that Santorum and Bachman don't already have in spades?

[SoCon]

But you don't understand. Every problem we have can be laid at the feet of sinners in our midst, be it governmental or cultural. Once everyone stops sinning, God will act to correct all our other problems. It clear to anyone who knows God that he is punishing us collectively, after all the Bible shows that this is his modus operandi.

Boy, you liberaltarians are so stupid. Don't you know that God explained all this to mankind thousands of years ago. Hayek, Rand, Nock, etc. aren't God so their new fangled reasoning has to be the work of Lucifer since I can't square some of it with the Bible! Only God is God!

You want a prosperous nation, here's the road map. Win the WOD, end abortion, get gays in back in the closet, ban erotic materials, get God back in the classroom. We do all those things, everything else will fall in place. It worked 3500 years ago, it will work today.

[Pip]

If it's any consolation, my gay friends all bash Rick Perry.

[Steers & Queers]

I dunno...only two things come from Texas, and I don't see any hook'em horns on that aggie.

[Randy]

That's...... Richard Gere-ist.

"As president I will ensure that there will be no gays in the ....ah...in...no gays in...ahhh...well anyway, I'll ensure gays will be kept out of something. I assure you."

[Tony]

I usually defend pragmatism over principle here, but I will never understand why these characters are willing to sacrifice the judgment of history to scam a few votes out of people. Surely even someone as dumb as Perry doesn't think kids in 2050 are gonna learn about the heroic efforts of homophobes to keep gays second-class citizens. He'll be in the dustbin right alongside anti-miscegenation crusaders.

Perry does succeed in making me ashamed to be gay, because it means I have something in common with Perry.

[BradK]

Ricky doesn't give a flying fuck about what the kids might think after he's pushing up the daises. He cares about scamming the nomination in the here and now. No doubt some staffer whispered in his ear that hatin' on the gheys is always good for a ratings bump. Or at least a sound bite, which to a campaign that itself is pushing up daises, that's about all he can hope for.

A pathetic last gasp of a pathetic excuse of a candidate.

[romulus augustus]

Hey, the mouth-breathers always believe such crap: "Any Southerner can lick ten Yankess." "Let's take that wooden horse into our city without first examining it." "Frigging colonialists can't stand up to the best army on earth."
"Bah, Martin Luther is a crank; nothing needs reforming in our church."

[Mr. FIFY]

A rational man would look at a Perry/Obama matchup, shake his head sadly, and point a gun to his forehead before settling for either man.

He's obviously pandering to get more donations before "suspending" his campaign...and going home a few million bucks richer.

[Amakudari]

I suppose it would help if you weren't in the pew "ever' Sundee," since the Bible doesn't say a thing about gays in the military or celebrating Christmas in school.

Circling the drain.

[cynical]

Perry's a closet case.

[Bear v. Shark]

Funny my mom say the same thing whenever she sees him on television.

[Nike Dunk Shoes]
