What does America's most prolific maniac executioner Rick Perry want to axe murder today? "Every single federal regulation, and everyone else, and Ben Bernanke" is his top pick. Perry told a radio interviewer in Iowa that he wants President Obama to "put a moratorium on regulations across this country" for whatever reason that food poisoning, vehicular safety, clean water, functional aircraft, and blood pressure drugs that aren't cut with PCP are just poop on Rick Perry's party. "And another thing," Perry also said , "I will 'Texas' Ben Bernanke's ass if he tries to print more money." Under Rick Perry, everyone will trade in gold and the bloody ears of executed inmates. Anyway, let's watch the video of Rick Perry calling for universal demise:
And here is Perry on Ben Bernanke, via ThinkProgress:
Speaking just now in Iowa, Perry said, “If this guy prints more money between now and the election, I dunno 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 treasonous in my opinion.” Treason is a capital offense.
It's like a "policy platform," but with more death. Why spend money on bringing wars and anarchy abroad when you can have all the fun right back at home? [ ThinkProgress ]
I don't know about that, but he sure accepted the bogus austerity argument in a hurry after the midterms.
The same reason they call the president a socialist for no reason.
I'll admit his solutions are reasonable compromises to fierce opposition, but he seems to cave in even when has public opinion on his side.
