Rick Perry believes abstinance works in spite of the fact that it doesn't

[Straw Man]

See Link below for the full answer to the question where he "explains" that abstinence education is comparable to steroid testing

This is not an SNL skit

[Hugo Chavez]

Holy shit, Close your eye and listen to this interview.  It's George W. Bush!  I'm not talking about the accent, it's George Bush style stupid.  Close your eyes and listen, it's GW style dumb.  LOL...  He can't even say abstinance lol...

You gotta do it, just look down and listen to this interview...

[240 is Back]

Wow... I hate to say it, but Obama would eat perry alive in a debate.

He's completely without facts in this clip here.  He's dumb as a bag of hair.

Bachmann is a brilliant person who makes a few gaffes - she will pwn obama in a debate.
Ron Paul will undress obama easily verbally.
Mitt will look like a smooth professional. 

perry looks like a dumbass.  You can't watch that clip and disagree.

Hahahahahaha

You're right!!!!

 This is the same thing as his Federal Reserve comment. This guy is dumb, dumb, dumb.

 Also, he can inhale a footlong corn dog in one swoop, has a receipt from some drag queen thing and has no problem practicing abstinence as a married man. Are the alarm bells going off yet?

[Purge_WTF]

  Perry is basically George W. with an IQ above room temperature.

this was meant to be a joke right?

[Hugo Chavez]

I sure hope so...  IMO Obama would freaking destroy Bachmann in a debate.  A bachmann nomination is a sure win for Obama.

[blacken700]

  holy shit that is bush.     READ MY LIPS, NO NEW TEXANS 

[Straw Man]

the second link is the full clip where he goes on to compare abstinence "education" to steroid testing and the example he gives seems to refute his own point.   

The guy is a box of rocks

[240 is Back]

Perry is dumb.  Bachmann is smarter.

Is she flaky? Sure.  And Obama is dreamy.  And Mitt is awkward.  And Rudy is a psycho.  And palin is dangerously overconfident.

So they're all flawed in one way.  I think Mitt would do best against Obama, huck would do great, christie may do well.  Palin and perry would do terrible, as would trump - too OVER CONFIDENT.  it's cool to be confident - but they smile at the sounds of their own voice and just aren't in touch with reality.

It looks like he's talking more about abstinence while the other guy is talking about abstinence education and the application (or lack of) of abstinence.

Does abstinence work in preventing unwanted pregnancy?  Yes.

Is the education working?  Apparently not for some.

abstinence education in lieu of any other form of sex education is an abject failure

abstinence by definition means avoiding "X" so saying abstinence works is a meaningless statement which is why the audience laughed out load when Perry's response was "abstinence works"

by that very same standard abstinence prevents drunk driving too.   Everyone who has gotten drunk and not gotten behind the wheel of a care is proof of that but that doesn't mean we don't take other steps to prevent drunk driving

So all they teach is abstinence w/o teaching other types of birth control?  If that is the case that def. does not make much sense.

[Soul Crusher]

I guess we need more ball washing programs.

Yep

that's the whole point

It's abstinence ONLY

Christians are all in favor of this which is something I just don't understand

Teaching abstinence is fine and certainly a good thing for young people to try to do but ignoring all other forms of sex education is just reckless and stupid

it's werid how you're always thinking about that

[headhuntersix]

After the primary all this christian/religious talk will go away.

Small potatoes Straw; the only thing that matters now is the economy, of course Perry would be horrific for that too.

The US and global economies are imploding and the best you far-left whackadoodles can talk about is abstinence. And then they wonder why they got obliterated last November.

Keep hammering away at problems no one is looking for solutions to.

agreed - it's not a big issue

the video just shows how dumb and flat footed Perry is when confronted with facts that are contrary to his beliefs

I contend that not a single candidate has the understanding of the current economic problems that Ron Paul does. That alone, even if you disagree with him about everything else, should make him someone we should vote for.

You're barking up the wrong tree there. Straw Man is a dyed-in-the-wool Keynesian fanatic who continues to argue that the stimulus (nor the subsequent trillions spent by Obama afterwards) wasn't large enough.

He wants to spend this country into oblivion so there's not a chance in hell he'd fall in line with Paul's viewpoints on economics.

[OzmO]

They should have just let Bears Stern fail from day one.
