Title: “The American Revolution was fought in the 16th Century”
Post by: 240 is Back on October 12, 2011, 09:36:17 AM
Wow, he is trying to hard to get in nice with the Tea Party types, and he makes a historical gaffe this huge?  
Let's vote in Cain.  perry will get destroyed by Obama in the general election.



Mitt Romney was the run away winner of last night's Bloomberg/Washington Post GOP presidential primary debate in New Hampshire. The former Governor of Massachusetts, who received the endorsement of Republican big-hitter Chris Christie shortly before he went on air, looked confident and relaxed as he discussed the economy and his proposed response to the twin crises of soaring unemployment and stagnant growth.

In an attempt to win over the Republican right - without which he will probably not be able to secure the nomination - Romney said that, if elected to the White House next November, he would sack current Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and replace him with someone in the mould of Milton Freidman, the late doyen of free-market economic theory. He also repeated the charge that President Obama "lacks the necessary private sector experience" to get the American economy working again.

In contrast, Rick Perry - who was under a huge a amount of pressure to win the debate following the publication of a series of polls showing a steady decline in his support - put in a hopelessly amateurish performance, frequently stumbling over fairly basic economic points.

Worse still, on a tour of Dartmouth College after the debate the Texas Governor made the astonishing assertion that the American Revolution was "fought in the 16th Century". In a convoluted statement to a crowd of assembled students and press, he said:

Rick Perry:
Our Founding Fathers never meant for Washington, D.C. to be the fount of all wisdom. As a matter of fact, they were very much afraid of that because they'd just had this experience with this far-away government that had centralized thought-process and planning and what you have you. And then it was actually the reason that we fought the [American] Revolution in the 16th century -- was to get away from that kind of onerous crown, if you will.

Perry must avoid gaffes like this at all costs. Obama's campaign team is going to be relentless in its efforts to present the Republican nominee, whoever he or she is, as the natural successor to George W. Bush who, of course, had an unrivalled habit of committing exactly these sorts of spectacular historical and linguistic blunders.

1574-1581, if memory serves. It started when the Arch-Duke was assassinated in Pearl Harbour. Sad day.

sad thing is that perry - who worked for Al gore in 1988 to defeat reagan policy - is now working to hard to suck up to teh tea party.

By the way folks, pointing out an obama gaffe to defend perry will place perry and obama in the same dumbshit category.  Go ahead and do that.

Yes.  The people who run FOX news network.

They exploit the fear and anger of the poor & uneducated, and earn great ad revenue as a result of the high ratings.  There are a lot of poor and angry people out there.

FOX has made a lot of money from riling up the tea party base.

We have now placed Perry in the drawer with Obama - both ignorant people who shouldn't be president.

Score.

Or both people who speak publicly all the time, and are going to mess up a little more as the sample increases.

It's those who judge either by the occasional gaffe that are the ignorant.

The only reason Rick Perry was reelected governor of Texas is that he ran against a former Houston mayor...Bill White.  It is a political reality that former Houston mayors are unelectable in statewide offices.
