Perry Hoping He Can At Least Win Imaginary Nov. 12 Election

Sooper jenius Rick Perry has finally stumbled on the secret to a 2012 victory! He invited a town hall audience in New Hampshire to make sure to vote for him on November 12, a week after the sucky November 6 presidential election nobody is enthusiastic about anyway, and when no one else will even be running anymore! Oh man, he’s got this one so locked up. And now see if you can spot Boozy Suzy’s other critical system error from the very same sentence: “Those of you that will be 21 by November the 12th, I ask for your support and your vote. Those of you who won’t be, work hard.” Because there better not be any underage drinking going on at the polls! Everyone else, get as drunk as Rick Perry, so that you accidentally vote for him in his fictional election. It’s all part of his brilliant plan.


Today's funny courtesy of our stupid Governor!

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

1. In N.H., Perry stumbles on legal voting age

In N.H., Perry stumbles on legal voting age

MANCHESTER, N.H. - Falling in the polls, Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry can’t afford to discount all voters between 18 and 21 years old. But that’s what he seemed to do in a speech today at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College.

At the end of his stump speech at a town hall meeting, Perry said, “Those of you that will be 21 by November the 12th, I ask for your support and your vote. Those of you who won’t be, work hard.”

The legal voting age is 18, not 21. The date of the 2012 general election is Nov. 6.

It was the latest in a series of campaign gaffes Perry has made – most notably, forgetting during a debate the name of the third federal agency he wants to cut.


Maybe he should be running for President of some other country - one that clearly exists only in his mind.
:shrug:

2. Not qualified for public office, anywhere.

3. That is so true
But unfortunately the voters in Texas voted the idiot in, anyway. Now the joke is on us. The whole country thinks we're as stupid as he is.

:(
