The politicization of monetary policy being taken to a brand new level. ThinkProgress reports: Speaking just now in Iowa, Perry said, “If this guy prints more money between now and the election, I dunno what y’all would do to him in Iowa but we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas. Printing more money to play politics at this particular time in history is almost treasonous in my opinion.” Treason is a capital offense. The remark appeared to be in response to a question from an attendee at the event, but it does not seem to be off the

He’s supposed to be out lassoing all the yahoo conservative voters. Early going suggests he might be good at it, too.

The Establishment will be well pleased if they can whittle the race down to Romney and Perry before it even starts.

Good night! Partial birth abortion? They are pulling out all stops at rational discourse. You are saying good stuff. I am calling it a night . . .

[BfloGuy]

Gov. Perry is pandering to the Paulites.

Right. Because he simply must get that 1%.

The politicization of monetary policy being taken to a brand new level.

The politicization of monetary policy occurred when the Federal Reserve Bank was created and the President given the power to appoint its chairman. To claim otherwise is to lie.

The Zionist bankster cartel has him say this stuff for show. Perry will be doing keg stands with Bernanke at Bohemian Grove with the rest of the illuminati this year... as usual.

You didn't tell me to, but I'm marking your words.

Don't count me among the swooning suckers.

[McGruff]

A big mistake. The media will never let us forget him making “a threat against a public official's life” as they will portray it.

[Clara Lou]

You have a very small repertoire of commentary when it comes to Perry. You do repeat yourself. Maybe you could give up the “swoon” for a while? Give the rest of us a break from your very weak sarcasm?

[Clara Lou]

you mash the little feet rockers and push and pull on the little wheel
Yeah, it's so easy even YOU could have done it right? Your commentary is completely useless to any intelligent, informative discussion.

Perry is a serious contender. Delightful how he disturbs establishmentarians.

[org.whodat]

Wrong, wrong, he would have learned the same economics, jorge bush and I were taught and that wild have been the same economics Thomas Sowell teaches. And you can celebrate the election of a democrate all you wish, I will not join in.

You clara Lou have removed all doubt, http://www.worldrecordsacademy.org/youngest/youngest_pilot_to_set_world_flight_records_Jonathan_Strickland_80165.htm

Get help. You need it.

Why don’t you try knocking off with the personal stuff, I was in the air force myself and yes I can fly a damn plane, anyone can be taught to fly it is no big deal one of my brothers had a pilots license. But you probably think flying a box car is the same as fling a combat aircraft, same functions, different physical abilities.

[Clara Lou]

1) Your link to the young pilot with the world record is pointless and unrelated. And it’s not surprising that a gifted 16 year-old could achieve that.
2) You may have been in the Air Force, but I do not believe that you ever piloted a plane. [No pilot refers to the yoke as a “little wheel.”] It’s nice that your brother had a pilot’s license. So what?

[org.whodat]

You do not understand a joke when you read it, and I called it a little wheel to poke fun at the so called big feat of flying.

[CodeToad]

“Treasonous”, like Perry’s “Trans-Texas Corridor” from Mexico that he tried to push on America??? Does he mean that “treasonous”, supporting Mexico over the US?

[CodeToad]

“anyone can be taught to fly it is no big deal one of my brothers had a pilots license”

Being in the Air Force doesn’t mean you know how to fly a plane. Taking the controls for a few minutes is not knowing how to fly a plane. You are a notorious ignorant idiot that is against aviation and calls local airports rich man’s toys that taxpayers pay for, not knowing they pay for themselves.

I am against subsides yes and proud of it, it is not in my Constitution to take from one and give to another. You can have all the hobby ports you want, the government sells them and you buy it and run it as a private business. However, that is not the topic here, try sticking to the rules.

[CodeToad]

Try not being a liar.

Try not crying in your soup, you socialists.
