The Smooth Look of Corporatist, Secessionist and Racist

      Don't be fooled by the well manicured, every hair in place, smooth, slick look. It's the same thing we have to remind our sons and daughters. When looking for a mate they often look for the best looking person they can find. The problem is that a lot of the times is that person is all sight and no substance. The picture you're seeing now tells the same story.
     Mr. Perry has called Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid and public education unconstitutional. And no doubt, he  he probably agrees with Mitt Romney that corporations are people, too. There's nothing more that the corporations would like better than to add the money from these programs to their profit margins.Cutting education programs and hiking college tuitions are also a good way to ensure that the middle class continues to shrink, further dividing the "haves" from the "have nots". Which group do you think Mr. Perry will fall into? Which group will you fall into? 
     It was just over one year ago that he was speaking about the state of Texas seceding from the Union, which would be unconstitutional. But now he wants to be president of the same union that he wanted to secede from. Would he not fly around the country in Air Force 1 or the Presidential helicopter? Would he not move into the White House? Woyuld he just shut down government? Just exactly what is it that he's saying?
     In recent years, there have been many in the south who have refused to see the resurgence of racism in the south. Whether they want ot admit or not, it is true. It began to make a comeback during the Bush and Cheney campaign at the height of rhe Rush Limbaugh talk show era. Governor is affiliated with the neoconfederate group Sons Of Confederate Veterans of which some members are outright racists. Just listen to the hate filled and poisonous speech that comes out of his supposedly Christian mouth. Just because they disagree with him, he has called the president's patriotism into question and has not only suggested the fed chairman treacherous and treasonous but has suggested that some harm should come to him. Do these words match his Christian confession? I'm just sayin'.
      Some how that doesn't seem presidential to me. Remenber, all that glitters ain't gold. Look a little deeper at Gov. Rick than his boyish good looks and tailored suits. Oh! and by the way, what will he do with all those unlimited corporate $ millions that he is receiving. Atta boy, Rick!
