Let me answer the author’s question.

It is likely that Perry does know that liberals oppose his agenda and he doesn’t care. He just wants to fix the economy.

I can’t believe they pay someone to write this crap. It’s an unthinking childish screed. Complete with stereotypes and slurs.

It’s all about throwing mud hoping it sticks. It’s well known that if you insinuate things,some people will tend to believe the insinuations whether they are true or not.

So, if you can portray Perry as simply a Bible-thumping simpleton, some people won’t question it, no matter what the facts are.

That’s the way politics are played. You win by finding reasons for people to not vote for a candidate.

Yep, Rick Perry's getting the Sarah Palin treatment. First, the Perry-haters will try to make a laughingstock out of him. Once that ploy doesn't work, they'll unveil their underlying hostility towards him.

Memo to Perry supporters: you'd better get your lampoon machine rolling...

Acorns are burying "bind pigs" -- EVERYONE can recognize that Obama has been a national disaster.

As I write this column, Gov. Perry has been a presidential candidate for less than a week, and he has already been caught in at least one screaming lie and one statement so outrageous that only a certified tea bagger — or South Carolina GOPer — could not be offended.

In one campaign stop he said he does not believe in manmade global climate change (as if his belief had anything to do with it) and went on to say that "hardly a day goes by" that some scientist is not caught faking data to support the global warming argument.

In fact, no scientist has been caught faking climate data and only the fools who live in the Fox News bubble could believe such a lie. But there are thousands of such people in this state, and they will be laying palmetto branches in front of Rick Perry's bus.

Suggested lampoon:

As I write this missive from my stately writing room, Governor Perry has been a presidential candidate for less than a week, and he has already been caught in one howler that everyone I know knows is a screaming lie! It was a statement so outrageous that only a certified trailer-park hick of a teabagger — or the dumber kind of taxpayer — could not be roused into high dudgeon, whups, I mean be offended.

In one campaign stop he said he does not believe in climate change - whups, I mean manmade global climate change (as if his skepticism had anything to do with our global sense of certitude and righteousness) and went on to say that "hardly a day goes by" that some scientist is not caught faking data to support the global warming argument. Or something like that around the quotes; I know you trust me to get it right.

In fact, there's been no such thing as Climategate and our hero Phil Jones was never asked to step aside from anything! Michael Mann was so innocent, his university roundly scoffed at the idea of even opening an investigation! Only fools of the Fox News sort could believe in a lie like 'Climategate'! They and twerps who like to sniggle throgh snippets of computer code that can mean anything. But there are thousands of such people in this state, and they will be laying palmetto branches in front of Rick Perry's bus as if her were a real hero like Price Charles - oops, I mean Al Gore.
Grated that it's crude; I wasn't much a a humour writer in my prime and I'm rusty. But it should steer a good lampooner in the right direction.

The Texas governor likes to hold stadium-sized prayer rallies in which he fills a fraction of the stadium and talks to God. Two years ago he held a rally to ask God for rain. Today, Texas still bakes in a historic drought, suggesting that if there is a God, he's got better things to do than listen to Perry.

Thaaaaaaat's right Mr. Atheist Liberal Democrat.

Go right ahead.

Mock God.

Mock those who pray to God.

Mock those who acknowledge God.

Mock those who humble themselves to God.

Mock God's even existence.

I have news for the Atheist Liberal Democrat: God will not be mocked.

It is obvious that Perry has sought the Lord before he decided to run. Appearing in that stadium, he put God first, and opened himself up to scorn.

If Obama is to be sent packing/and or exposed for the Social Security number thief that he is, it will take the hand of God to do it.

I'll put my money on God, not this "reporter."

These feeeeeeeeeeelings mean nothing. People sharing these feeeeeeeeeeelings will feeeeeeeeeel good but that's all.

The sad part is that feeeeeeeeeeelings pass for opinion.

Look on the bright side with these people. They honor our constitutional rights. The Constitution protects balderdash.

no scientist has been caught faking climate data and only the fools who live in the Fox News bubble could believe such a lie.

Does the newspaper employee feeeeeeeeeel that no one has ever been caught in the act of faking climate data?

Does he mean that technically the phony data were not climate data. Maybe the people who typed the phony data were not scientists? I wonder.

Man-caused global warming, er, ah, climate change (MCGWEACC) is very good solid science, indisputable.

Allow me demonstrate, using the exact scientific method used by believers in the MCGWEACC religion:

Will Moredock is actually spelled H-o-m-o-s-e-x-u-a-l. Now, discount ALL evidence to the contrary, it is indisputable, and millions and billions and TRILLIONS of scientists are in full lockstep agreement.

Do I really need a < /sarcasm > tag?

Like his predecessor, George W. Bush, Perry already seems to be in over his head.

If all of the other over-the-top crap in the article wasn't enough, the author tips his hand with this sentence. People may disagree with much that Bush did (Lord knows I do), but Bush never, and I mean NEVER, gave the impression that he was in over his head. Even when he was butchering the English language, he always gave off an aura of command authority. Obama, on the other hand...
