Governor Rick Perry's wife threw a pity party for herself and her spouse yesterday. Apparently the couple is getting brutalized by opponents in their own party for their religious beliefs.
Good grief.

Earth to Mrs. Perry: It is the good people of Texas who should be doing the weeping and wailing. For ourselves. We are ones who foot the bill for your $10,000 monthly rental mansion as well as for your husband's health care insurance, retirement benefits and security detail.
In return your spouse has made the lives of middle and working class Texans and the poor downright miserable. His heartless right wing policies, ideologies and his liberal use of crony capitalism have done much to brutalize the good people of Texas. Teachers, firefighters, homeowners, school children, and impoverished elderly who need medicaid in order to survive, to name just a few. Where were you and your husband when wildfires burned thousands of homes to the ground during one of the worst droughts in Texas history? Your spouse, Madam, in case you did not know, cut the firefighter budget by a whopping 75%.
Your spouse has used Karl Rove scorched earth politics like a pro for years and now you are tearful b/c the same GOP playbook came back and hit your husband in the face? You reap what you sow, Misses.
Nice try, Madam, but President Obama is not personally responsible for your son's job loss. Your son chose to quit so he could campaign for his daddy.
My son had to resign his job because of federal regulations that Washington has put on us. He resigned his job two weeks ago because he can’t go out and campaign with his father because of SEC regulations … My son lost his job because of this administration,” Anita Perry said, according to CNN.
If President Obama were to announce that he created 100,000 six figure salaried jobs today the ALEC possessed Republicans would continue to attack him.
It is all that a Party that has sold its soul to the money devil can do. It will do character assassination and play the poor me victim card. It will do anything to keep the American voter from understanding that Republican candidates have absolutely no intention of addressing the needs and interests of the vast majority of us.
We have your number, Anita. Your spouse's campaign is on wife support.
Would you like a bit of cheese to go with your whine?
