Can't be an outsider, Rick when you've been drawing a Govt. pay check for as long as you have.

The Perry Tribune is laughable at best. Your FB page is my comedy section of this pseudonewspaper that this has become.

How can a career politician be an outsider???

Unfortunately, he's not outside of Texas.

How.

"Outsider" the realm of possibility. Pack it up, cowboy. Your're toast.

Yeah, let's have a president who "forces" Congress to do things. That's constitutional.

...as absurd as the Gov. himself.

We back in TX can smell the flop sweat, Rick.

Amazing how many thing this guy can propose in 30 seconds that he would have no authority to do...

He's an outsider....to upright moral civilization.

Bush was a Washington outsider too. Think about that.

His government paid mansion isn't part of being an outsider. Lifetime paycheck or pension as a politician even after his term expires is part of his overstayed entrenchment in slick rick politics.
What he says and does are two different things, and never the twain shall meet.

ROTFL.

He's about as "outsider" as I am pregnant.

Just when you thought Texas' image was recovering from King of the Hill ....

For Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, Rush, Hannity and all of FOX NOISE - the President did not say Americans are lazy...but then Rick Perry can't tell the truth...one wishes that the Right could just learn to type Google.com and get the facts - this man is a horrid representative for the State of TX...OOPS
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, this is an issue, generally. I think it’s important to remember that the United States is still the largest recipient of foreign investment in the world. And there are a lot of things that make foreign investors see the U.S. as a great opportunity — our stability, our openness, our innovative free market culture.
But we’ve been a little bit lazy, I think, over the last couple of decades. We’ve kind of taken for granted — well, people will want to come here and we aren’t out there hungry, selling America and trying to attract new business into America. And so one of things that my administration has done is set up something called SelectUSA that organizes all the government agencies to work with state and local governments where they’re seeking assistance from us, to go out there and make it easier for foreign investors to build a plant in the United States and put outstanding U.S. workers back to work in the United States of America.

The longest serving Governor of Texas, a major player in BOTH political parties, a viable and serious candidate for the GOP Presidential nomination, in what truthful manner is Rick Perry an outsider.
This commercial shows that when the stakes get high enough even Eagle Scouts lie.
patricia bird
it is simply amazing that perry thinks president obama is TOO SMART TO BE PRESIDENT...i really thought that is what we shrived for when we elected someone to serve in the highest office...i guess perry's new bumper sticker will read, "i rick perry promise to be the dumbest guy in the room, no matter what"...and frankly that would just be redundant...
Richard Johnson
Rick, like his campaign, is living in a dream world. I guess that qualifies as "outsider".

Short, sweet and to the point. I cannot say I am a Perry supporter, but this is an effective ad.

Too dumb for words. What my dog routinely deposits on the lawn is more intelligent than this man.

Ole good hair is an "outsider" all right. All outside the realm of reason and intelligence. Of course, at the whorehouse otherwise known as Fix News, he's a cozy insider, taking lobbed soft ball leading "questions" from crazy Hannity, after Hannity helps him along jes a bit with his "Then, you had to do ..." or "Next, you did ....." All a total farce and a ridiculous insult to the profession of journalism, but jes what ole good hair wants. Now, he's got his wife running the roads for him, trying to prop up right wing religiouis lunatics while she continues to speak proudly of talking to dead people. Sheez! What a pair of doofuses!
