Rick Perry seems to have a knack for saying stupid things. Several years ago he implied that Texas might consider seceding from the United States. Now he’s saying that Ben Bernanke’s decisions on monetary policy would be “almost treasonous” if done in an election year. Of course this genius neglects to mention that Bernanke was appointed by George W. Bush and that he greatly expanded the money supply back in 2008 to avoid an economic collapse. You also have to love the irony of Mr. Secession claiming that someone else is almost treasonous.
We’re in a poisonous climate where both sides are yelling at each other, and I suspect Perry’s entrance in the 2012 presidential race will just ratchet things up. He comes across as a fanatic on most issues, and already Karl Rove is freaking out and saying that Perry needs to tone things down.
In the end, he’s just joining the confederacy of dunces leading the GOP presidential field.

Perry is a U.S. Military Veteran who has lead the great state of Texas for a decade. Texas has one of the best job markets in the country and you call him crazy? If this sorry economy continues you could run bozo the clown and win next year!
@ Midwest – thanks for the comment.
What does the job market of Texas have to do with Perry’s idiotic comments? This is the same fool who implied Taxes should secede from the Union.
Perry will have some strong arguments regarding the Texas jobs record, but he undermines his candidacy with these comments.
