Rick Perry To GOP Convention: I'm Not Riding Into Sunset

Texas Tribune:

Texas Gov. Rick Perry, speaking at the state’s Republican convention Thursday, fueled speculation that he’ll run either for re-election in 2014 or for the presidency in 2016, saying he was “not riding into the sunset” but “mounting up for the next operation.”

After his comical campaign, I do see him riding off into the sunset riding a donkey and holding an ear of corn tied to a stick in front of him to keep his "momentum" up. Gitty up.

"I'm-ah make you bounce till your hip hurts
Make you work
Sweat till you drench your blouse, and your skirt
And I'm-a freak you till you pass out" says the donkey.

He shouldn't be booed. He should be horsewhipped.

"I'm not riding into the sunset" because he can't figure out which way is west.

Don't take it too badly Ricky, there are a lot of different reasons your mother booed you...

Oops! We elected an intelligent, insightful, worldly, well-spoken man to be president in 2008. The shame of it all!

Rick--Please go away. Just go.

FTA:

'Most of his remarks drew uproarious applause from the delegates in the audience — his suggestion that the 2008 election of President Obama was the nation’s “oops moment,” his pride that the state had “defunded Planned Parenthood” and his declaration that Texans didn't need U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder telling them how to "address election fraud" were particular crowd-pleasers.'

Ye gods, Texas. I honestly think we'd do better without you.

Now that the whole country has seen how intellectually lacking Perry is I'm sure the Texas GOP will find him irresistible. GOP politicians are not supposed to be smart. They're supposed to be obedient to the corporate agenda.

This man is painfully dumb. Save Texas from your incompetence and yourself from embarrassment Rick, go away.
