Rick Perry's TV ad aimed at social conservatives in Iowa has been met with widespread anger and derision since it was released Wednesday. The video, titled Strong, connects 'gays in the military' to Obama's 'war on religion.'
The ad was obviously ripe for parody. In just a few short days, more video parodies flooded the Internet. One of the best is by Andy Harris and Rhoda Baldwin of TheComedyCouple.com:
We did own video montage on Wednesday, mixing the ad and other comments about gay rights with Perry's bizarre speech of Oct. 28, 2011, in New Hampshire (with Dr. Michael Eric Dyson subbing for Ed):
And if the parodies aren't bad enough, the real ad got so many "dislikes" on YouTube, the campaign decided to disable the "dislike" button.



Rick Perry should write a book, um correction, he should get someone who knows how to write a book for him, entitled: "Oops, Wrong Planet."
I still laughing after listening to those two clips......Damn it.....slick rick is such a phony anyway....ignorant, stupid and hopeless. His good ole boy lack of charm just will not cut it for a president. Can you believe what he might say to a foreign leader?
Perry ? = I Thought He Was a TUFF=Guy ?????? A Bully ????? Well = You Would Never Know it;; If You watched his performance At That Anti=Gay Meeting !!!!! What-a-Guy !!!! Ha ha=-ha=ha =HA-HA !!!!!!!! What a GOMER !!!!!!
BTW... The jacket Romney is wearing in that ad? It's identical to the one Heath Ledger wore in "Brokeback Mountain"...

Holy fleurking schnit! That is the same jacket.
I Mean; This GOMER [perry] ==It Would Appear That He Has More Than 1 Personality!!! HEY ????
Great sense of humor, and a great Governor! What a guy! Not too good in debates, but I sure like what he's done in Texas!
Creating for the most part govenment jobs? Oh, and all those minimum wage jobs? Now that's progress! <s>
Talked to a real Texas lately, or are you just buying slicks propaganda? Supper highways financed and reaping the prophet by foreign countries. The way they are set up you don't know you have been on their toll roads until they send you the bill. Yes, you can make a living with four jobs. None full time, none pay or help fund your health care. You just blindly follow.
Don't forget under slick Rick the Texas school system ranks 5th in the states with the worst education. Oh yeah thats right the GOP think kids getting an education is a waste of time when they could be working for a living instead.
Taking money from the stimulus to create government jobs, appoint his friends and contributors to those new jobs while dismantling schools, blame Obama who gave him the money and take the credit. Heck of a job, Perry.
And his jacket too?
Not to Mention Which FACE == Hey !!!
Your school ranking system is irrelevant. Yes, we pay teachers among the lowest in the country. We also support them. When I would call home (as a teacher), parents usually didn't need much explanation, and little Johnny came back the next day with a written apology and a sore backside. I taught in VA, MS, OK, MI, and in TX. TX paid less, but I loved teaching here (yes, I stayed after retiring). We have a high dropout rate. So. It's their choice. Finally, a small percentage goes to college. Good. They know if they are not ready, and many join the service (as one of my sons did). Many (like my son) grow up and return from the military ready for college. I am unsure of which survey you refer to, but the ones I saw measured stupid stats like the ones I just discussed.
All my kids graduated HS here, and all are (so far) successful. Personal (only one person's experience, etc) I know, but it is also from a prime source.
I don't know of any schools Perry has dismantled. He, along with public sentiment, as kept the unions and their union thugs out of education, thank God!
So graduation rate and college attendance and student preformance are stupid education statistics. Capt you should change your name to Capt Neptune because you're on another planet.
Yes on an individual basis but think about this if you have lots of dropouts to do you TX and the US at large will benefit from that, more unqualified workers. Maybe is the Europeans and the Chinese were'nt going to college we might have a chance on that one. I mean what company is going to look to dropouts? None. So since if you have all these dropouts that will have a negative impact on your economy because there will be no jobs.
Our school system in America is crap. The students are not prepared for the world, the workforce, or college. If this continues our economy will suffer. Where do you think the people in China and India looked and saw that education can get you economically ahead? From us, back when we valued education back when we had a good economy.
The public system suck anyone who says different is lying or an idiot. That's got to change and cutting hundreds of millions from public education as Rick Perry has foolishly chosen to do will not help.
I have a question. My brother in-law was raised as an Irish Catholic in Conn. He married his high school sweet heart. They had a daughter. When they divorced he was expelled from the Catholic Church......When he married my sister.
So how can Newt who had two divorces convert to Catholicism???? What religion was he be fore he converted?? A lot of questions that are not answered about these guys religions.....maybe if they all become evangelicals they will be acceptable to the republicans??? Then he could be born again! Would that cost him less baggage charges?
Besides, what kind of example will newt and ms newt be for our American Children?
I don't care how many times one is married or even if you are. I'm just saying it seems to be an issue with the reps, yet they set a double standard for themselves and another for the rest of us.
I don't think multiple marriages count before you convert. It's kind of like you're reborn as a Catholic, so you get to start out with a clean slate. Then if you screw up after that you can go to confession and they forgive you again.
TM, thats what the entire teabagger party is made up of lies, hypocracy and double standards yet they claim to be the party of 'Family values'.
Right MJB. You're basicly a pagan to them before you convert. So nothing before matters. My Aunt was married before, but that didn't count. She got married in the Catholic Church after she converted. I don't know the rules now. Like if Newt and the ex-pole dancer (well that's what she looks like to me) were married before or after his conversion.
TM: Neither of them are good role models for *anything*, IMO. None of the "candidates" are, again IMO.
He aught to get back to Texas and the bush league. At least, there, he makes more sense and looks less incompetent. Even though, we know that is not the case. As Ringmaster Chump might say, at his debate: Send in the clowns!!
The entire Perry campaign could be described by one word: ooops.
rick perry reminds me of the gay "anti-gay" repubs in washington. mark foley and larry "i am not gay, i have never been gay", wide stance", "soliciting sex from an undercover cop in a minneapolis airport bathroom" craig.
why is rick perry speaking out so unabashedly and hatefully and IGNORANTLY against gays?
is he like mark foley and larry craig, trying to take civil rights from those from whom they receive their sexual pleasure?
Well there's a couple of things to consider about the far evangelical right and how perceive the world and America. Now when people like John Boehner say that the American people are behind what they're doing(or not doing in his case) or when Bachmann or Santorum try to declare this a christian to the average person this makes no sense....That is until you understand that people on the right don't believe any one who disagrees with their beliefs is not American(which at any given point in time at least 60% doesn't agree with their ideas so I the math works on that one)
They also tend to think gays are either a myth like evolution(or they say evilution) or aren't people who could ever matter
Sadly it is clear that evangelical hyper conservative fundamentalists would put all the world's homosexuals to death if they had the oppurtunity. Just look at Uganda for example where American evangelical missionaries help start a cultural firestorm which has lead to a law(or at least a serious legal proposition, I don't know whether it passed) that would have all alleged homosexual put to death for their gay-ness. The people in the country supporting it are a combination of dominionist xtians and islamic fundamentalists(sharia law types) and they're working together to kill all the gays of Uganda. For all the hilarious threats coming from the far right about the dangers of sharia law that must be opposed many of the "xtian" beliefs they champion would the same effects on this nation
Remember most people who vote for a GOP candidate are conservative. As with most TPers, personal life is not as important as performance. Perry has done great for Texas (have you found a job yet, John). He has a 10 year track record that speaks louder than any debate, or foolish ad campaign.
Also, conservatives don't "hate" gays. Most believe homosexuality is a sin, but know we are all sinners. Most will admit, there will be gays in heaven, along with all the rest of us sinners. We (conservative Christians) are against more government policies, including those that extend special rights to anyone, including gays. Conservatives want less government (thus less laws), not more!
and the special treatment would be what? Sadly there is a very real section of far right evangelicals who in fact wish to see all homosexuals washed away from every corner of the world and that includes with violence
Rick Perry has done nothing for TX except cut money from education, add beaucratic nonsense to the TX(how did that housing authority committee work out for you, you know the one that they had to slash because it wasn't working), take money from donors and reward said donors with projects they wanted like a nuclear waste dump, take stimulus money and then condemn that very same stimulus
Rick Perry is the king of pay to play politics it has been well documented by everyone from Rachel Maddow to Michele Bachmann. Give Rick 100k and you do anything you want in TX. It's a good thing he'll not be president.
Capt Crunch, you supporting an idiot like rick (oops) perry is absolute proof that birds of a feather DO flock together... See ya at the polls!
capt. america,
the only time conservatives want less gov't is when a democrat is president. where was all the hoopla about less gov't when W. bush was spending us into a financial crisis, put us in 2 wars, and CUT TAXES twice, the second time in march of 2003, the same time he was sending troops into iraq.
conservatives have proven since at least nixon on, that the deficit is always bigger under a republican president, just as gov't gets bigger. we have seen this over and over with republicans in control.
face it-conservatives are the party of big deficits and big gov't. democrats always have to come in and clean up the republican's mess. of course, we had no idea how big the mess was when W. bush left office. republicans didn't care about the blank check that W. bush had, and now the bagger/conservatives won't do anything to help move our country forward, proving that they only care about deficits when a democrat holds the presidency.
Rick Perry is connected to somthing more than God. He's a loser.
Perry's record doesn't indicate that. He's won every race he's been in, so far. He's been re-elected governor twice. Facts point to winner, Johnny, look it up.
And what accomplishments has 'ol rick done to make you think he is qualified to lead this country? Keep this in mind my politically confussed friend, I know a helluva lot more about perry than you do.
here's a hilarious new parody version ala "The Sing Off" -
