Perry Praying people don't see his college transcripts (Howe, Bailey: school, living)

[ocean2026]

just released. Plenty of D's even F's. Perry is responsible for appointing the Chair of the State Board of Education and the Commissioner of Education.

He did manage a "C' in animal breeding... wonder what the animal on the other end scored.

Texans had much better choices Kay Bailey Hutchison (GOP) would have been super. Bill White (Dem) and even Twix ( my daughter's dog) would have been an improvement but voters like someone they can relate to- someone as ignorant as they are. The bar is especially low in Texas.

You don't become the LONGEST running governor in Texas history based on college grades alone. In fact, a lot of people has went on to do great things without college. As for Kay Baily, she was the right person at the right time....but that time has LONG since passed!!

That's what I call a "Puppet issue"

The media gets "Outraged about Perry's grades in college"
instead of giving people any information about his 10 years as governor.
They make republicans think "You see, the media is liberal"
and they make democrats think "What the f...? Why is the media not attacking this guy on real issues"?

Who is the winner? = Perry
Who is the loser? = People who don't get to know what they need to know about Perry's record.

First off, I'm not a fan of Perry's so don't get the notion I'm coming to his defense because I like him. But the truth is, a person cannot be judged on their intelligence based on school grades. There are many of people who have excelled in life who have never gone on to complete any sort of higher education, many in fact never went to school or didn't get pass the 4th or 5th grade. Then you can look at others who have had the advantage of higher education, made the highest grades in their class and yet some of these people are actually dumber than a box of rocks.

I saw where his grades had been released, but didn't bother to read it. To me, it is just more media sensationalism. Afterall, they have to report something and with the election year on the horizon, it is just going to get worse. But like most of the political news these days, it needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Don't kid yourself, the lifestyle Perry's living did not happen because he is mentally inferior due to poor grades in college.

I agree with this.

However, since it's Perry; I'll throw away my beliefs and join in on the bashing party!

This is typical of Liberals and the Liberal media when they don't have a leg to stand on politically speaking. Anyhow, I'm not a huge Perry fan either but he's the lessor of the evils.

I agree and also Perry will stand up for America and help her regain her status in the world. Moderator cut: off topic for this forum

So let him line his own pockets and feather his own nest. If he can help restore greatness to America, rather than pull her down, I say more power to him. Bear in mind, you don't have to have high scoring grades in college to know how to wheel and deal and at this point in time, I think that's exactly what America needs.....a good wheeler dealer who is on our side for a change.

Its business as usual with the "news" media. They could care less about his grades, they just wana hurt the guy's image. Moderator cut: off topic for the forum

More than half the posts above have spelling, grammar, or word usage errors. You're fine ones to pick on the governor's grades.

What the hell??? The guy hates America with a passion. If he fails to be elected as POTUS, then he might take a stab as the President of the Republic of Texas.

His grades might be a reflection that he is a total dumbass or he was partying, drinking (with a little drug use on the side), and sexing at conservative A&M.
