"“I don’t think the federal government has a role in your children’s education,” Perry said, adding, “The federal government has no business telling you how to educate your children. They have intruded into so many different areas in our lives and that’s one of the things that I hope to be able to do, working with Congress, trying to make Washington, as I said, as inconsequential in your lives as we can.”"
He has only been running for a couple of days but he has blown a kiss to Mittens, threatened the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, alleged that the uniformed members of the Armed Services would be more likely to respect the uniform with another PotUS*, and that education is not the purview of the Federal Government.
Touching on that last one, does this mean that Good Hair (or "Crotch" as he was known in the Texas House) does not support standards or he believes that W. was overreaching with NCLB? Or is that a code word that I am not familiar with that attempts to replace scientific theory and methodology with stories of magic, allegory, and a wonderful six day, seven night, whole universe package?
What does Crotch Good Hair think the role of the Federal Government is?
Is it job creation, which is the laurel leaf that he has wrapped around his career as governor? Isn't that intrusive?
He doesn't think that government should be intrusive, but...he believes that it is his right as the Governor of Texas to tell Texicans who they can and cannot marry.
Oh, and then there is the whole right to being able to control your own body thing (right, ladies?) which is horribly intrusive, but that is different, because it is about women...
I believe that this is a very good thing for 2012.

*How is that "supporting the troops?" I mean, that is the thing, right? The GOP supports the troops while everyone else loathes them. So, the GOP through Perry can challenge the integrity of the commitment of those men and women who have made the choice to serve, but...nevermind, I have answered my own question.
