[...] (ChattahBox)—Texas Gov. Rick Perry is facing a tough challenge from Sen.

Where in the Constitution does it state that we can be fined or thrown in jail for not buying mandatory health care?

And as to your “bona fides” here’s a nice little quote for you:

“There are some ideas so preposterous that only an intellectual could believe them.” George Orwell

@Jes: It’s not a lie; it’s incomplete, but that fits perfectly with the GOP’s policy of cherry-picking sound bites that, when taken out of context, might make someone who is not a member of their Neo-Nazi KKK group look bad.

Here’s a link to the original quote back in April of this year: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/15/gov-rick-perry-texas-coul_n_187490.html

” Perry suggested Texans might at some point get so fed up they would want to secede from the union, though he said he sees no reason why Texas should do that.”

He further specifically said that he supports right-wing extremists: ‘After praising veterans in the cheering crowd Wednesday, he said: “I’m just not real sure you’re a bunch of right-wing extremists. But if you are, we’re with you.”‘

So Perry *is* an extremist. Let’s not forget that other (in)famous right-wing extremist, Adolf Hitler.

I can accept your left -leaning whining. But it’s wrong for you to flat-out lie. Gov. Perry did NOT “for the State of Texas to secede from the union.”
Wherever you got your information from is incorrect.
