Needs to be said again:
Bernanke lied to Congress.
He promised the Federal Reserve would not monetize the debt of the U.S. government.

If Toyko Rove doesn’t like Perry the Perry must be doing something right!

The Rove/Bush/Clinton/Obama/Dood/Frank//JP Morgan/Goldman Sachs/Bank of America/Citigroup ruling party has been heard from. But if there is even the slightest chance Perry belongs to a different party, he’ll never even get the nomination.

Rove hates Perry. So do the Bushes. They all went out for the RINO Kay Bailey Hutchinson.

The actual quote involved printing money for political purpo.......>>>Perry was responding to a question about quantitative easing, a monetary policy by which the government purchases Treasury bonds to inject more money into the economy, which he said would amount to a political attempt to help President Obama win reelection in 2012.<<<....Source

Isn't intentionally debasing the money supply a form of treason? It sure seems that way to me. And by the way my constitution says the only money shall be gold and silver. One of Sir Issac Newton's chief posts in the French court of the time was to measure the weight of the Kings coins to be sure they were not “shaved”. People found guilty of such debasement were regularly executed. Oh yeah, fuck you Karl Rove.

Mr. Rove is jeopardizing the magnificent adjective. I dropped the "magnificent" from the "magnificent bastard" long ago.

No, Perry DID NOT call Barnanke a traitor or accuse him of treason. Anyway, I’m glad Perry is bringing this to the nation’s attention. Maybe now the Fed will stop the printing press, and when massive inflation occurs, voters will know who to blame.

The Bushes, the Bush machine led by Karl Rove, and the Rino eastern seaboard, regularly hosted by Hannity on FOX, will be no friend to Rick Perry, until help freezes. Count on it.

Sit down and shut up Tokyo Rove. You have all ready cost us 2 Senate seats in 2010, don't compound your error in 2012.

The Bush family’s roots are in New England. W’s grandfather, Prescott Bush was a senator from Connecticut. The whole darn bunch are products of Ivy League schools. Although both W and his father live in Texas, their hearts are in New England—Romney’s home—not Texas.

See my post #45 for an exact quote of what Perry said. If his opponents want to twist and misquote what he said, then it reflects more on them than him. I am not a big Perry fan, but I don't see any reason to criticize him over this remarks nor do I consider it a gaffe.
There are over 300 sponsors in Congress for a bill to audit the Fed. Both parties want more transparency and accountability for the Fed, which is currently operating outside of any effective oversight. The power of these unelected, unaccountable members of this quasi-governmental organization is breathtaking. I suspect the majority of the American people feel the same way.
Perry's remarks were politically astute. He will be helped more than hurt by them.

Bernanke is too smart and too accomplished to be an idiot. That make him a traitor.
