Rick Perry is a bigger lying sociopath than George W Bush ever thought about being but I needed proof. So, after TN Lt Governor Ron Ramsey drank the tea and swore allegiance to Perry via the TN State Taxpayer paid for email(Oops, sorry for doing that, I know it's illegal, Hey, it's just a tiny mistake, and all that), I figure we had to go straight to the source of all truth, Texans themselves.
Hmmm..They seem to be pissed at Mr. Perry and willing to do all sorts of Op-research on their Governor. There's too much to paste here, so...
(And, Hey...If Juanita isn't one of your regular reads, you are missing the best smart mouthed Texas female "Honey, those aren't baby teeth incisors I'm smiling at you with those are Texas barbecue powered FANGS" Snark on the internet tubes)

The Dim Son was an empty suit. Perry is just buttons and hair. He doesn't even have the olde money, Northeast family connections. That he is considered a viable candidate by enough of the population to warrant news coverage is a very bad sign for the continued existence of our democracy.

Faith vs. Science throwdown
