Rick Perry: There Is No Proof That Fracking Causes Groundwater Pollution, Americans Have Been 'Hoodwinked'

Why should we listen to him? He cant even remember 3 simple things. Education, Commers, and OOPS!!!

Gov Perry has already exhibited a limitation to think three dimensionally. After all there are three things we need to remember about fracking...I am not sure which is worse a candidate who quotes his talking points verbatim or entire political party that does. Common sense says that if you put contaminants in the ground eventually some of those contaminants will migrate to a watershed. Gov Perry is only interested in appeasing his supporters, the truth is just an innocent victim.

He is one of the MONEY-PUPPETS - 99%er's SIGN petition - FOR tax audits of CONGRESS & ask With total transparency, and reported directly to the Public . . http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/auditcongress/

Ok, I'm sure fracking is doing nothing to groundwater. How about we just continue until it's totally proven then we'll stop. Oh, you mean all the ground water may be ruined? At least we didn't jump to conclusions along with global climate change.

Let's just wait around and see, but Rick's sure it's not real and fracking isn't hurting a thing.

Thanks Ricky.

That boy is doin' real good for a former snake oil salesman from the Lone Star State...we're real proud of him down here...damn fools re-elected...I mean good folks of Texas re-elected him how many times?...

Do we really need any further examples that Perry is a moronic ignoramus "drone"? It's pre conceded, he is!

Gashole.Go to Dimock Pa,or in Wy,or ask the one out of 3 water well owners near fracked gas wells that have had their water ruined.

Climate deniers fracking deniers.

Gasholes.

Dimwit says this with the knowlege that a large portion of the sheeple would believe him...because so many Americans are stupid...he needs to actually see the poisoned water entering the aquafare.But believes that jesus will stop wildfires in his state.

Oh, I am sure there are 10 respected scientists that say otherwise.

Perry is a joke. When he speaks the world is laughing.

I guess Perry hasn't seen the movie "GASLAND."

I have a better challenge for Rick Perry. Go to Dimmock Pennsylvania and take a nice long drink of water from the source on national television to prove your point. And it is so ironic that the man who prays for rain in a drought wants to see science on this. He doesn't even know what the word means.

America's is being hoodwinked alright, in astronomical proportions by Rick Perry, and the Right Wing propagandists.
The sad thing about this situation, is that people are suffering from fracking, and their lives are being destroyed.
Politicians like Rick Perry should be fined/jailed for knowingly deceiving the public about the danger of fracking!

Hey Rick try saying that in Pennsylvania and New York. Make sure you drink the glass of water that is offered to you right out of the tap. Hint: It ain't kool-aid yer drinkin' Tex.

Another Gem from Molly Ivins:

Molly Ivins: Molly can't say that about Rick Perry, can she?"—Sacramento Bee, August 13, 2011

Over the weekend, the Sacramento Bee published its own collection of Ivins's editorial digs at Perry first printed in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Here is one excerpt, from an article originally published on January 12, 2006, in which Ivins rages against the governor's attempts at sleazy political sleight of hand:

The governor of Texas is despicable. Of all the crass pandering, of all the gross political kowtowing to ignorance, we haven't seen anything this rank from Gov. Goodhair since…gee, last fall.

Then he was trying to draw attention away from his spectacular failure on public schools by convincing Texans that gay marriage was a horrible threat to us all. Now he's trying to disguise the fact that the schools are in free-fall by proposing that we teach creationism in biology classes.

Molly Ivins knew what this FishBrained idiot was all about:

Now here's a droll, scathing one from June 24, 2001, on Perry's record on executing mentally handicapped inmates:

First, we Texans would like to salute the only governor we've got, Rick "Goodhair" Perry, the Ken Doll, for vetoing the bill to outlaw executing the mentally retarded.

We are Texas Proud.

Such a brilliant decision—not only is Texas now globally recognized for barbaric cruelty, but a strong majority of Texans themselves (73 percent) would prefer not to off the retarded.

Gov. Goodhair's decision—in the face of popular opinion, the Supreme Court and George W. Bush's recent conversion on this subject—is a testament to his strength of character.

Or something.

His Perryness announced, anent the veto, that Texas does not execute the retarded. I beg your pardon, Governor. Johnny Paul Penry, now on Death Row for a heart-breaking murder and the subject of two Supreme Court decisions, has an IQ between 51 and 60, believes in Santa Claus and likes coloring books.

And that's not counting the other six we know about for sure since 1990.

As a resident of Pa. I would like to invite Gov. Perry to come and have a nice glass (or two) of our fine well warter compliments of the natural gas industry.

Maybe he is hoping the $AU12 Million dollars gas companies put towards The Australian CSIRO investigation into hydraulic fracturing and it's effects on groundwater, will help get them the result they hope for. A gas company has also hinted there is more money that could be invested in the investigation if needed.

Can we start a rule that any time a candidate says something either insanely stupid of blatantly untrue, that candidate is extraordinarily rendered to a black ops site where their genitals will be hooked up to a car battery long enough for them to either learn that he/she is stupid or that he/she is a liar. Maybe a nice waterboarding too for good measure and drop them off on the New Jersey turnpike, naked at 3 in the morning.

I think that will stop the stupidity and bullshit pretty quick.

I will send him some water from a few miles away from my home town

This just in...Rick Perry is hoodwinking Americans.

there is almost as much proof that hydraulic fracking is getting in our water supply as there is he fracking crazy.

we can probably frack rick perry's brain. (LOL)
