One of the many freakishly over the top moments in last night's Fox News GOP debate was Rick Perry's claim that Turkey is "run by Islamic terrorists." After I picked my jaw up off the floor, I realized that he probably has a vague awareness of Turkey's struggles with secularism and ...
As we noted last week, four of the GOP candidates for President of the US failed to get on the ballot in Virginia, because of irregularities in their petitions. And now, the same thing is happening in Illinois, where Rick Perry and Rick Santorum may be booted off the primary ballot. ...

Ballot box via ShutterstockAstounding. Despite their huge campaign staffs and multi-million dollar budgets, four of the GOP candidates for President of the US have failed to get on the ballot in Virginia.

All the Republicans who said they'd gotten the go-ahead directly from God to run for President seem to be in trouble. Michele Bachmann is reportedly bailing out today, and Rick Perry may not be far behind. Since Herman Cain already dropped out, you have to wonder if God is just messing ...

The latest video by Benny and Rafi Fine shows a group of teenagers talking about Rick Perry's now-infamous anti-gay advertisement "Strong." Funny stuff!
It's horrifying to hear almost all the GOP presidential candidates proudly saying that victims of rape or incest should be forced to give birth to an attacker's child. There's nothing that makes the utter heartlessness of this fanatical agenda more evident, and now Rick Perry (who previously supported rape/incest exceptions) ...

The Republican car continues disgorging clowns. In all my years watching politics, I've never seen such a ridiculously incompetent slate of GOP candidates: Gingrich, Perry disqualified from Va. primary ballot.

Yes, it's true: Rick Perry is a soldier in the War on Christmas. The only explanation is that Rick Perry has always been a vile atheist in disguise as a fundamentalist Christian. What else could possibly cause someone to do something this outrageous?

Rick Perry told Fox News's Chris Wallace this morning that if he's elected President, one of his priorities will be a constitutional amendment "allowing our children to pray in school."

Rick Perry's homophobic advertisement has now smashed all YouTube records, and stands at an astonishing 450,000 dislikes. But Perry has learned his lesson. His new video, an attack on health care and "big government liberals," has ratings turned off. Take that, liberals.
Last night the Rick Perry gay-bashing ad stood at 42,000 dislikes at YouTube, so I had to check back and see where it was today -- and it's just about to go over 250,000. I think that's a fail record of some kind at YouTube, perhaps rivalled only by Justin ...

Rick Perry's sick new campaign ad is chock full of gay-hatred and phony fundamentalist victimhood, trashing gay troops while attacking President Obama and "liberals" for a nonexistent "war on religion." What a disgusting campaign this is. I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a Christian, but you don't need to ...

It's the right wing delusion that absolutely refuses to die. Rick Perry tells Parade Magazine that after having dinner with Donald Trump, he's suddenly "undecided" whether President Obama is really an American citizen. Governor, do you believe that President Barack Obama was born in the United States? I have no reason ...
