I have no words
Our psycho governor, ladies and gentlemen:
Texas Gov. Rick Perry fired up an anti-tax “tea party” “teabagging orgy” Wednesday with his stance against the federal government and for states’ rights as some in his U.S. flag-waving audience shouted, “Secede!”
An animated Perry told the crowd at Austin City Hall — one of three tea parties he was attending across the state — that officials in Washington have abandoned the country’s founding principles of limited government. He said the federal government is strangling Americans with taxation, spending and debt.
[…]
Later, answering news reporters’ questions, Perry suggested Texans might at some point get so fed up they would want to secede from the union, though he said he sees no reason why Texas should do that.
“There’s a lot of different scenarios,” Perry said. “We’ve got a great union. There’s absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows what might come out of that. But Texas is a very unique place, and we’re a pretty independent lot to boot.” [Yep. You’re so independent that you join 29 other states in
legalizing stoning gaysbanning gay marriage — by a nearly unanimous vote, I might add. You’re so independent that you’ve marched to the polls en masse to vote straight Republican every time since Saint Ronnie The Red Ink Raygun ran for President. — Ed.]Perry is running for re-election against U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, a fellow Republican. His anti-Washington remarks have become more strident the past few weeks as that 2010 race gets going [I suspect that a primary challenge is not the only reason why Gov. Goodhair has gone Full Metal Psycho. — Ed.] and since Perry rejected $550 million in federal economic stimulus money slated to help Texas’ unemployment trust fund.
*SIGH*
