Cruz/Perry ticket

[BereanBrain]

Perry.

He’s the Texas version of Romney, McCain.

He can’t win the general.

I am from Texas. There is a reason conservatives have had enough of Perry.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

What with intense and alarming media coverage of two Ebola cases in the Lone Star state, Gov. Rick Perry has risen to the opportunity and gotten decisive indeed

How to govern like an alpha male.

PING!

[GOPJ]

...Perry has already launched thecomplete with an aggressive emergency plan and hands-on director Dr. Brett P. Giroir, who warns of an “interconnected world” and vows that Texas is “fully prepared for the worst-case scenario, no matter what form that may take.”

Perry's moving in the right directions... good for him.

I’m here in Texas. What has he done that is so decisive?

[bgill]

If any more come down with it, his numbers will plummet. The only way to stay on top is to be in the CDC’s face.

[ansel12]

“Texas Task Force on Infectious Disease Preparedness and Response,” complete with an aggressive emergency plan and hands-on director Dr. Brett P. Giroir, who warns of an “interconnected world” and vows that Texas is “fully prepared for the worst-case scenario, no matter what form that may take.”

Fantastic, we need some serious attention paid to this aspect of national defense, some real serious attention, and some concrete changes made.

Is this satire? Less than a week ago La Raza Rick made a fool of himself on the issue of Obola.

Perry Echoes Obama: No Travel Restrictions from Ebola Nations

[Resolute Conservative]

If he would take some decisive action and close the borders and implement more stringent preventive methods towards Ebola he could walk into the WH in 2016 a hero. I prefer Cruz but Cruz cannot command the state’s resources and stick it in Barry’s eye.

[Windflier]

"Gov. Rick Perry has risen to the opportunity and gotten decisive indeed."

Could'a fooled me. So Perry appointed a "task force". Whoopee-frikken-do.

As usual, Governor GoodHair is making moves that look good on the surface, but do nothing to solve the basic problem.

Knee-jerk R voters here are easily impressed. Texas conservatives, not so much.

[GotMojo]

Interesting to see the focus here more on Perry than Obama when during Katrina it was all Bush focus and nothing on that LA lady guv.....she got so little focus, I can’t even remember her name.......

[Cubs Fan]

Didn’t perry say we SHOULD NOT stop incoming flights from ebola infected countries? Yep he did

Didn’t he also say that anyone who opposes in state tuition for illegal immigrants “doesn’t have a heart”? Yep he did.

FAIL

[Ditter]

I wonder if Perry has considered running for Cruz’s senate seat when Cruz takes the WH?

[Smokin' Joe]

Ping...

A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread

[Pollster1]

“The only ‘spread of Ebola’ in the U.S. was caused by a private hospital in a red state,” tweeted MSNBC host Joy Reid on Sunday.

That is an amazingly politicized twist on the facts. “The only spread of Ebola in the U.S., so far, was caused by a total lack of border protection and immigration control by a far left racist who doesn't care about white people. The detail that the bio-weapon Obama permitted into our country then attacked Texas rather than another state is minor compared with Obama's decision to let that liar into our country.

[Patriot365]

For some strange reason Perry really really wants to go liberal on us every now and then. He must constantly be reigned in.

[ViLaLuz]

Someone’s smoking crack.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...
