Officials from the George W. Bush administration are unhappy with new presidential candidate Rick Perry’s incendiary attack on Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. And they’re going public with their complaints, Politico reports. The Texas governor, campaigning in Iowa Monday said of Bernanke, “If this guy prints more money between now and the election, I don’t know what y’all would do to him in Iowa, but we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas. Printing more money to play politics at this particular time in American history is almost treacherous -- or treasonous in my opinion.” Karl Rove, one of Bush’s top White House aides and still an important Republican strategist, told Fox News, “It's his [Perry’s] first time on the national stage, and it was a very unfortunate comment. You don't accuse the chairman of the Federal Reserve of being a traitor to his country and being guilty of treason and suggesting that we treat him pretty ugly in Texas. That's not a presidential statement. . . . Governor Perry is going to have to fight the impression that he's a cowboy from Texas. This simply added to it.” Pete Wehner, a deputy assistant to President Bush wrote in Commentary: “People shouldn’t throw around the words ‘almost treasonous’ loosely. And certainly a person running for president shouldn’t do such a thing. To say someone is treasonous means he is a traitor to his country. In the long catalogue of crimes an individual can commit, there are not many that are worse than treason.”

Well then we'll have a choice between a Cowboy, a Stormin' Mormon or a close friend of Bill Ayers.
Just sayin'.

 

Santorum is probably the cleanest whistle in the race.

But gays hate him.

He could be for ending all wars, have a plan for zero percent employment, prosperity across the board and still not be deemed a good candidate because gays hate him.

 

Isn't it the other way around?

 

We're all lined up for the real Hate Parade between the Evangelicals and the Mormons -- especially the Es vis a vis the Ms. Actions speak louder than words, though none of the Es will acknowledge it in public
conversations, of course . . .

 

Rick's social-luddite status attracts considerable private abuse.

 

Well gays hate anyone who takes a political stand on them that doesn't suit them. Forget socialism, they could be a communist on one side, a tea partyer on the other who drives us to 40 percent unemployment and as long as their direct interests are served, he could be FDR before any more FDRs were outlawed.

 

The body of the woman who died in Indiana at the Sugarland concert could not be released to her long-time partner.

That's the kind of thing that "gays" "hate."

Do you blame them?

 

I'd say it's more like, why would gays go out of their way to support any politican who treats them like crab lice?

Rick will never have the talent for the big stage. He's a boy among men.

 

I don't understand your dislike of gay people at all. I guess it's comparable to the left's dislike of the Christian Right - people tend to be turned off by one-issue "cause" people and groups. But like it or not, homosexuals have a very vested interest in their particular cause. I admire the way they have turned the tide of public opinion in a very short time.
