I don’t know why it is so important to divert the thread from what is important in this story in regards to Ebola and Texas preparedness, into just another routine Perry bashing thread.

Post 11 was much more relevant than what you decided to respond to it with.

I don’t know why it is so important to divert the thread from what is important in this story in regards to Ebola and Texas preparedness, into just another routine Perry bashing thread.

It's because Rick Perry is 'all hat and no cattle', as we say in Texas.

Texans on the thread are responding with sneers because Rick Perry has earned our lack of faith and trust in him. He's very good at grandstanding and talking the talk, but fails like any other liberal when it comes to walking the walk.
