Oh no, Rick is starting to look like a flip flopping fool already?

Rick Perry Doesn't Think Social Security Is Unconstitutional (Anymore)
Just over a week into his 2012 presidential campaign, Texas Gov. Rick Perry is already doing political backflips over some of the more extreme conservative ideas espoused in his fiery 2010 book, Fed Up!

Perry's problems largely stem from the book's position on Social Security, which he suggests violates the Constitution. In Fed Up!, he calls the program a "bad disease" that is set up "like an illegal Ponzi scheme."

BTW,here is what the "joke" is all about:

With DUMBOs book, when the heat was on him for all the fabrications, misquotes, and other assorted lies, he simply let Bill Ayers the ghost writer take the brunt of the criticism...and when it suited DUMBO, ...HE took the credit.

Give it up edge...

why all of the sudden interest with the stories about Perry anyway?

Are the DUMBO love letters coming in again?

And why can't you comment on the ''Fast and Furious'' gun running scheme?

"why all of the sudden are you showing up here with the stories about Perry anyway?"
The title of the thread is, "The Greatest Show on Earth..."
I can't resist pointing out the GOP clowns running for president.

Why does that bother you?

Especially if you're reading what passes for reporting and journalism in the lame stream media these days...

in ALL 57 states...

Any one of the Republicans are better than the ignoramus in the White House whose only success in life has been in destroying this country.

The liberals on this board will bash the Republicans all day long but NOT one of them will answer this question. And I've asked it repeatedly.

Name one DUMBO accomplishment that benefited this entire nation.

Just one.

You betcha, we're afraid of Rick just like we were afraid of Sarah Palin.
The very thought of runing against a redneck GOP extremist cowboy clown from Texas who wants to get rid of Social Security & Medicare scares the crap out of us, ya'll.

I already gave you one:

Why is Rick flip flopping?

he called it a Ponzi scheme.

and that applies to Perry how?

his name isn't even mentioned in the article.

"he called it a Ponzi scheme"
Yes, that's brilliant when you're running for president

Since you're ignorant & stupid perhaps this will help
Perry Wants to get Rid of Social Security & Medicare


Perry would devolve Social Security

Ben Smith

Rick Perry, unlike some, hasn’t spent his recent career carefully positioning himself to run for president; that may be part of his charm, but it could also open up some major vulnerabilities, like this one:
Perry believes, for example, that the national Social Security system, which he calls a “failure” that “we have been forced to accept for more than 70 years now,” should be scrapped and that each state should be allowed to create, or not create, its own pension system. “I would suggest a legitimate conversation about let[ting] the states keep their money and implement the programs,” he says.

it IS a failure.

DUMBO got on national television a couple of weeks ago and told the nation that if we didn't raise the debt ceiling and he didn't get what he wanted, seniors might NOT receive their SS checks...among others.

But how can he do that edge? Isn't the SS supposed to be a trust that can't be affected by his deals?..well, it was... until DEMOCRATS moved the entire trust into the general fund and made themselves a slush fund of monumental proportions.

And it is about to be declared insolvent.

A PONZI scheme?

A FAILURE?

WTF would you call it?
