If he were there (thereby causing extra efforts by authorities) you's be calling it grandstanding.

Hey, your 'bash anything Republican bandwagon' just pulled out..........better run and catch it.
If Texas doesn't need Perry at a time like this, Texas doesn't need Perry period! Any fool can govern when there are no problems to deal with.

I'm really shocked by these comments. I cannot think about any other civilized country where people would be happy about misfortunes of their own countrymen because of their political leanings. That's a new low.

Who is happy about it?

Rick Perry should be in Texas dealing with it-not campaigning about how he plans to make America better.

I'd also like to know when the Tea Party volunteer fire companies and the Tea Party disaster relief teams will be rushing to assist people impacted by the fire? Where are county Republican parties in Texas organizing teams of citizen-volunteers to help out our fellow Texans so that they will not have to turn to government?

Are we going to allow socialized fire companies of public employees team up with Washington to do the job that everyday Texas citizens should be doing?

What could he do to deal with it? Why don't you quit being an ignorant troll and give out some ideas because this thread sure does look like nothing but YOU bashing a group of people who just lost their homes to a wild fire.

Rick Perry is asking for help in the form of money that the state of Texas paid to the feds, he's asking for some of our money BACK.

I would characterize the comments as cynical frustration at Rick Perry and his anti-governmental ranting.

Many of the political leaders in Texas would rather people die than use the Rainy Day fund or raise the taxes needed to meet the legitimate needs of Texan.

Maybe because Texas had spent plenty of its own tax dollars on your "wildfires" in the past.
