Rick Perry

“Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.” – Matthew 7:12
“And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.” – Luke 6:31
“Don’t be a cunt.” - Me
Rick Perry’s latest campaign advert, “Strong”, has gathered some rather negative criticism since being posted to Youtube yesterday. It is easy to see why:
Why should it matter what the sexuality of someone is? Doesn’t the Republican party want people to just get on with their lives with less government intervention?

It is appalling that Perry can think he can run for “pressedent” based on such mindless homophobia. But he goes on – not only are teh gayz ruining the country, but those godless liberals are too. And who else is behind it other than the biggest Muslim, Non-American, Godless, <insert populist bogeyman adjective here> of them all, Barack Hussein Obama. That’s right, the openly-Christian incumbent President is waging a war on religion.

These words sound to me like the last desperate cries of a man whose campaign is about to go up in smoke. How Rick Perry can still advertise himself as a “man of faith” on the same video, whilst promoting homophobia and xenophobia all through a soft-focused lens and reconcile all this in his head as a Good Thing TM is beyond my comprehension.

The Republican Party needs to ditch this bunch of losers who have somehow made it to the big time fast – and America can demonstrate this by not voting Republican, by throwing them out of every singly office they still somehow cling hold of.
