Perry = Pander Bear
Rick Perry is scared that he’s going to be nothing more than an asterisk in the race for the Rethuglican-Confederate-Teabagger party nomination for President. So much so that he’s now pandering to the extreme right wing for votes in Iowa. He is running the following gay-baiting ad on TV out there:

And the ad has now become the subject of much derision.

Not to be outdone, a rabbi in Michigan has done his own version of the ad:

It’s typical right-wing bullshit to use some sort of wedge issue to win elections. W did it in Ohio when he schemed with F*ckus on the Family to put an anti-gay marriage amendment on the election ballot. It brought out enough homophobes to the voting booth to win Ohio.
I do note that Perry is wearing the exact same jacket the Heath Ledger wore in Brokeback Mountain. Which brings me to this Perry campaign poster.
Hmmmm. Maybe he’s got a skeleton (or Jake Gyllenhaal) in his closet.

And Mrs. Betty Bowers — America’s Best Christian — has posted up Jesus’ response to Rick Perry’s reprehensible ad.
I think I would call this commercial: Perry – who cares anymore?
“Let’s see… Huckabee beat Romney in Iowa last time and Huckabee totally hated on gays. What the fuck. Let’s go for it.”
That imagined bit of Perry thinking probably gives hims way too much credit.

Perry is a douche, but his jacket has nothing to do w/ it. He’s wearing a Carhartt or a cheap knock-off of a Carhartt. It’s supposed to make him appeal to blue-collar voters. That *might* work in the south, but the rest of us know better.
Can’t be a CARHARTT, they’re UNION made in the USA.
Maybe Carhartt JACKETS are made in USA, but many of their other items aren’t. I own a bunch of Carhartt stuff that was made in 3rd world shit-holes. For example, my Carhartt cotton work shirts are Hecho En Mexico.
Ending the war on Christmas?? What a crock!
A better name for it would be “Waging the war on non-Christmas” (or non-Christians).
AND it’s popcorn time! Rick Perry’s chief pollster outed after Perry’s bigoted ad.
I’m all in favor of outing these hypocrites. Hear that Lindsay Graham? You’re next.
