No, but Palin and Bachmann already have threads. Perry is new, though there was speculation for some time I understand.

Yes they do... they looked to be the front runners at the time. But now the talk is all about Perry so it is time to break him in. You know, saying he's ignorant, saying he believes the Earth is only 6,000 years old, a right wing religious extremist or nut bag... that type of stuff. That evil rhetoric and hate speech (by their definition) that the U.S Liberal Democrats so chastise others about yet use it freely on their opponents.

I personally want four more years of Obama and the GOP to win both houses of Congress.

Perry isn't new. He may be new to some but he certainly isn't new.

Right, I meant that... he's somewhat emerged from the pack so it is time to crush him as they have Palin and Bachman.

He's new in that he's only been a contender for the Republican nomination (officially) for two weeks now.

So now his statements are being scrutinized much more than they were when he was just the Governor of Texas.

Both of you are right. The fact that he has pulled out front will get this attention.

And Petros,the mere fact that he has been in the race for quite some time but only now his views are being attacked makes me laugh a bit. He is a threat to the Emperor!

It makes me laugh too. If others picked up on 1/10th of the little details I do then the entire world would be a different place.

The banter of him running for GOP has been ongoing for the past 4 years.

Yes, but like I said it hasn't been official that long.

Google trends for search results and news results:

You must not get out very much...this is what happens to all political candidates...their views are put to the test, vetted.

Besides running for GOP Perry will be busy pushing the NASCO project through before 2012. The portion of the "conspiracy theory" is being built on my end and in Kanasas City. Texas is the last "roadblock".

Perry is a hypocrite for taking Federal dollars despite threatening secession because of Obama's bailout funding which he Perry) said aggravated the deficit:

Rick Perry Rails Against Stimulus Despite Texas Reaping Federal Funds

''he reality of Perry's relationship with fed-stim is complicated. Through the second quarter of this year, Texas has used $17.4 billion in federal stimulus money — including $8 billion of the one-time dollars to fund state expenses that recur over and over. In fact, Texas used the federal stimulus to balance its last two budgets.''

Ron Paul should take Rick Perry to the woodshed - The Hill's Pundits Blog

''While Ron Paul is against deficit spending, Rick Perry has run up deficits in Texas. While Ron Paul abhors government programs, Rick Perry gobbled up Obama stimulus money like a rabbit in heat, and then used government programs to raise pay-for-play campaign dough with a gusto that would make former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich proud.''


Total hypocrisy of the worse kind.

Coulter is proof of evolution. There is no way in hell God would make a half man and half woman and cut it loose on TV. Spawn of Satan maybe but God didn't do that. No way.

Heh heh heh, she's just as ignorant as Perry. She goes from this:

The (extremely generous) test Darwin set for his theory was this: "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down."
To this:

It is a mathematical impossibility, for example, that all 30 to 40 parts of the cell's flagellum -- forget the 200 parts of the cilium! -- could all arise at once by random mutation. According to most scientists, such an occurrence is considered even less likely than John Edwards marrying Rielle Hunter, the "ground zero" of the impossible.
So she thinks that Darwin's theory breaks down because a complex organ could not have spontaneously arisen at once. When what Darwin actually said was that his theory would break down if it can't have been formed by numerous slight modifications.

I mean are her readers that dim witted that they can't see she's full of $hit?

She's using the creationist position to disprove evolution...they aren't the same thing at all! Evolution isn't 200 parts-let alone the number of actual genetic base pairs needed- appearing from thin air...that just shows how ignorant she is. She has zero understanding of conservation in genetics.

Let me know if you'd like to learn more Colpy. She's actually using the wrong branch of science for studying evolution. It's molecular biology that yields more insight, and we use it every day at work to differentiate between closely related specimens of the same species. That is, we're separating organisms that are going through evolutionary processes right now.

Anne Coulter's baby picture.



Humans don't have variations. Nope, none what so ever.....if we keep killing them so nobody sees then all is well.

Yes I find Coulter very funny as well...

Mr D says if condition A is met then outcome is B.
Ms. C shows us condition E which she thinks is consistent with condition A, therefore the outcome is B.
Conditions A and E are mutually exclusive conditions, both cannot mean the outcome is B.

Logic, not her strong suit.

Me?????

(Insert angelic smile and batting eyes here)

I'm just providing grist for the scientific debate mill, as it were....

the "heh heh heh" should have been a hint........

Although I do think you are missing the point.....which was that each of the modifications would have to offer some survival advantage to have gain precedence in the population, and have provided the foundation for the next modification.......which would have to offer some survival advantage..........and so on.

Without those advantages at each stage of development, the whole would never have "evolved".

Damn, I was just playing the Devil's advocate!

I'm not missing that point...that goes without saying. She's simply dismissing billions of years of selection pressure without evidence to support doing so.

Perhaps the confusion lies in that most people are unaware of how life finds new uses for old genes. Just one of those genes, when coupled with other machinery can produce wildly different phenotypes. Clear example, the sea urchin and our species share genes. The sea urchin has almost a thousand genes that we also have, that code for proteins used for hearing and eye sight. Yet urchins have no organs for sound and sight. They use the proteins in completely different ways, because of the other assemblages of proteins in their genome.

We didn't independently develop the same genes. Sea urchins and humans belong to the superphylum, we're deuterostomes, and share many characteristics because of our common ancestors.

Damn, I was just playing the Devil's advocate!

The devil thanks you for trying to advance the creationist position on life. :lol:
