Related: About this forumRick Perry Won't Back Away From Obama Border Conspiracy Theory
Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) is not backing away from a conspiracy theory he recently floated about the Obama administration somehow coordinating the surge of immigrants coming over the border for some unknown reason.
Perry recently suggested on Fox News that the Obama administration might be "in on this somehow" and helping move immigrants over the border. Asked about that statement on Sunday, Perry didn't back away.
"I have to believe that when you do not respond in any way, that you are either inept, or you have some ulterior motive of which you are functioning from," Perry said on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday.

"....or you have some ulterior motive of which you are functioning from,"?
This man is functioning from a level of barely functioning. You have to be just about this stupid to be this corrupt and this accomplished a liar.

Rick Perry has to study-up to be dumb.
I swear on all that is holy that hes been taking America-lessons for the past two years so he can run for President and be two IQ points smarter than Sarah Palin.
It didnt work.
Dumb as a sack of hammers.Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) is not backing away from a conspiracy theory he recently floated about the Obama administration somehow coordinating the surge of immigrants coming over the border for some unknown reason.
Perry recently suggested on Fox News that the Obama administration might be in on this somehow and helping move immigrants over the border. Asked about that statement on Sunday, Perry didnt back away.
What? President Obama is going to use refugees from a Central America drug war to herd us all into underground bunker reeducation camps ruled by the New World Order in Roswell, New Mexico, with Janet Renos, the woman who shot Kennedy, black helicopters hovering overhead?
Well, crap Rick, everybody knows that. Just go ahead and say it.
And by the way, please make Rick quit torturing the English language. In an attempt not to end a sentence with a preposition, we get thisI have to believe that when you do not respond in any way, that you are either inept, or you have some ulterior motive of which you are functioning from, Perry said on ABCs This Week on Sunday.
Nice try, Dumbo, but you could have ended the sentence at the word motive.
Ill give somebody fifty dollars cash American money to go convince him that hes already been President and now its time to go to the ranch and paint pictures of himself in the bathtub.
I mean it.
Goodhair is a really stupid person

(182,868 posts)So what, (p)Rick, are the detainment centers, moving them to other detainment sights during the vetting process, and the massive process that is being carried out according to US law?

If you believe the MSM, the average American isn't smart enough to see where the problem lies.

(24,436 posts)or, then again, maybe he won't. Republicans have been allowed to basically move beyond having to substantiate their claims. Baseless innuendo from them is really all they need and are expected to provide.

(4,695 posts)There are roughly 1.8 million immigrants in the United States who might be, or might become, eligible for the Obama Administrations deferred action initiative for unauthorized youth brought to this country as children. This initiative, announced on June 15, offers a two-year, renewable reprieve from deportation to unauthorized immigrants who are under the age of 31; entered the United States before age 16; have lived continuously in the country for at least five years; have not been convicted of a felony, a significant misdemeanor, or three other misdemeanors; and are currently in school, graduated from high school, earned a GED, or served in the military. Within this population of potential beneficiaries, however, are three distinct groups:
1.) Those who are between the ages of 15 and 30 who are either in high school or already have high school diplomas. This group is immediately eligible for deferred action.
2.) Those between the ages of 5 and 14 who will be eligible at some point in the future if the deferred action initiative remains in place.
3.) Those between the ages of 15 and 30 who are not in high school and dont have high school diplomas. Members of this group might be eligible for deferred action if they get a GED.

The following link reminds me of the thinking ability of Rick Perry that is NOT based on Public Law, the proposed Dream Act Law. It is based on Pretending and Grandstanding.

(19,483 posts)Assuming the GOP leadership isn't able to squelch all the fun, this time.
I can imagine one of Perry's opponents saying, "Proceed, Governor."
Well, probably not, but I like to imagine it.

(28,627 posts)Well I still can't believe that Palin was a governor. The unhinged.
Paladin
(28,271 posts)I view Obama's greatest failing to be his ongoing, almost childlike belief, that discussions with radicalized Republicans get him anything, other than repeated humiliation and political ass-kicking. Meeting with Perry will make everything worse.
Proud Liberal Dem
(24,436 posts)and Perry and other Republicans are petulant, temper-tantrum-throwing little children that he needs to set an example for. Don't understand why some people don't get this about President Obama. He doesn't meet with them because he likes them or the way they think (and I don't really think that he thinks that he is able to work with them- though I think he would if he thought that they might be willing) but he meets with them because he's the President and he is SUPPOSED to meet with EVERYBODY and show them respect- even if they're jerks or Republicans (or both) and even if they don't deserve the respect he gives them.

(22,651 posts)They needed the face to face to avoid the Republican stupid political circus
After the meeting the president said both are pretty much on the same page.
Now we wait for our worst Congress in history to do just a little bit of work.
The president also said he will not do a photo op on the border in the desert.
Paladin
(28,271 posts)I'm not very happy about it, but I am aware of it. Thanks for the re-cap.
Sunlei
(22,651 posts)In my imagination Perry got a few swift cracks across the face he needed to knock him off his pompous high horse.
Paladin
(28,271 posts)And I think Perry got some additional footage for his hopeless 2016 presidential run. And that's not just my imagination, that's a by-God likelihood.....

(15,223 posts)And the glasses prove that he's trying to spruce up his look for a run IMHO.
Can he please just go away and stop embarrassing us all?
And can we please get Wendy elected and turn back the disasters that Perry and his troglodytes have levied on beloved Texas???!!!
Paladin
(28,271 posts)If Greg Abbott wins the governor's race, he'll make us nostalgic for Rick Perry. Every once in a great while, Perry has exhibited a touch of human decency; don't expect that from Abbott. Go Wendy.
hamsterjill
(15,223 posts)I am very fearful of Abbott. In my opinion, he's almost campaigning openly about his intended misdeeds for Texas. Yet people are still going to vote for him.
Sunlei
(22,651 posts)The big business who love the seven dollar a day border workers. The self regulated easy Texas shipping port ,to export their high profit products around the world.
Border business , prison labor business don't care what Perry does with his time.
The regular citizens of Texas, come last in their world.

(45,524 posts)GOP entity is working in Central America to create this wave of immigrants in time for the 2014 midterms?
All tin foil aside, where is the investigative reporting of why this is happening and happening right now?
