    Probably better than C in gym. He seems to be fairly atheletic and good at basketball.

    Actually, I think Chris Christie probably had better than a C in gym, too.

    We all know very well that what you're looking for is some record of him studying eastern religions or African American studies or something, so you and your people can question his Christianity, his patriotism or some other bat***** daffy thing.

    And you know very well he excelled at school.

    I'm not surprised Perry thinks this way but I am surprised this wasn't posted here sooner.

    Rick Perry suggests global warming is a hoax

    Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry said Wednesday morning that he does not believe in global warming science and suggested it is grounded in scientists manipulating data for financial gain.

    The Texas governor was appearing at a New Hampshire breakfast event with business leaders Wednesday morning when he said "there are a substantial number of scientists who have manipulated data so that they will have dollars rolling into their projects."

    Perry said scientists are coming forward almost daily to question "the original idea that man-made global warming is what is causing the climate to change." He said the climate is changing but that it has been changing "ever since the earth was formed."

    Perry added that "the issue of global warming has been politicized," and argued that America should not spend billions of dollars addressing "a scientific theory that has not been proven, and from my perspective is more and more being put into question."

    There is wide consensus among climate scientists that global warming is taking place and that the actions of human beings have contributed to the increasing temperatures.

    Many conservatives have questioned that conclusion, but Perry's chief rival for the Republican presidential nomination, Mitt Romney, has said he accepts the scientific consensus.

    "I believe the world is getting warmer, and I believe that humans have contributed to that," Romney said in New Hampshire in June. "It's important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may be significant contributors."

    Perry's primary focus during the "Politics and Eggs" Breakfast in Bedford was the economy. He sought to create a contrast with President Obama on job creation, saying, "my actions as governor are helping create jobs, while the president's tax and regulation policies are killing jobs."

    Perry also said his decision as governor to sign an executive order requiring that sixth-grade girls in Texas be vaccinated against the human papilloma virus - prompting criticism from many social conservatives, who worried that such a vaccination would encourage promiscuity - was a mistake, according to the Nashua Telegraph.

    Perry added that he would not have signed the deal worked out between Republicans and Democrats to raise the debt limit in order to avoid a potential economic catastrophe.

    Perry's "job miracle" during the recession was all government jobs?

    Whoops.

    I don't have the transcripts, asso. And if I did I wouldn't post them for your scrutiny so you can try to find one more way to prove he's a secret Muslim, a secret socialist, a secret fascist (I love how you guys call him a fascist and a socialist), a secret Nazi, a secret America-hater, too black, not black enough or any of the other silly nonsense he's been attacked with by you and yours since you can't seem to debate his policy positions.

    And I especially wouldn't provide any information to you on request since you literally NEVER return the favor and always disappear when your wild, stupid and wildly stupid accusations are rebuked with evidence as they virtually always are.

    We wouldn't need Jeff to come around here and tell us to behave if you weren't constantly provoking the rest of the board and then running away when challenged. If they were to finally ban you for the troll you are, civility in this BBS would skyrocket.

    Exactly as I said.

    Rimrocker, I don't know why you would doubt basso was being that course. It isn't the first time.

    I also like how rather than take responsibility for his inputting race into the issue, basso, instead tries to blame Obama. It's all Obama's fault.

    Do you know how you become Magna c*m Laude?

    I'll give you a hint. It has to do with a person's grades.

    If you aren't able to determine whether he made good grades or not by the fact that he was Magna c*m Laude, then perhaps you should spend your time doing something other than reading this site.

    I had no doubt. I just wanted to see if he would respond and if he did, how he would justify it. It's those insidious and repugnant little things that he needs to be called on every time.
