I just read
an article about his fervent denial of global warming--all the while Texas is absolutely
roasting, hit by the hardest one year drought in it's history; wildfires devastating farms and crops, all the while he is PRAYING (no, literally) for rain, calling on Texans to do the same.
He's a religious nut, as we've all seen. He denies global warming, created thousands of shitty jobs (yet will invariably claim that to his credit), completely funded by the energy industry; he's full of disinformation, ignorance, and hatred.
The guy has
huge, deep pockets and GOP support. He's the only one who's going to be able to compete with Mitt Romney, and honestly, he's been smart about not playing with this dog & pony show of the Iowa straw polls. He's going to come in once the mockery of these current candidates have been made, and look presidential right along with Romney. It's a battle between those two at this point: the Mormon and the Megalomaniac. They've got the money, they've got the power, they've got the support of the status quo.
They've also got beautiful heads of hair, chiseled square jaws, broad shoulders, folksy charm, and smiles that just won't quit.
Be afraid.
