Rick Perry vs. Ron Paul - GOP Body Language
Posted Sep 08, 2011 4 comments
Who behaves like this in public with cameras rolling? Seriously.
Notice's Ron's location relative to the podium here...and in the next picture. Ron steps back about 2-3 feet to the side and is still trying to get Perry's hand off him...
...and then Huntsman arrives to break it up. Insanity. This should have been the focus of today's media coverage. Meltdown status: Reich Perry has mental issues that disqualify him from office.
Then Again...
These overt dominance signals play an important role in Chimpanzee Politics

I’m just now reading a biography of Bismark ... and I reckon he might have acted that way with the cameras rolling, if there were cameras to roll back when he was Minister-President of Prussia.
Though while Perry might be as reactionary as Bismark, I doubt he is as smart.

The images are up on the Drudge Report.
What that means, I don’t know.

It’s true, I do need to dis-engage from my personal opinion re: getting tough on men in their late 70’s. Perry is giving dominance signals to a very different target audience, as other signs in the Sept. 7th GOP debate made clear.

Both parties are basically built upon victimhood. If we talk about politics, then we talk about Mania and Dementia.
Liberals have a feminine martyr/drama queen complex. They suffer from incurable Dementia which makes them believe everyone everywhere has or will be oppressing, raping or plotting against them.
Spend a night with a really liberal person, it’s a massive downer. Nothing but how the world is going to hell, but no it’s always been hell, but no we can stop it if we just turn the corner now. We have to think of the Children, and the Immigrants, and Africa, and the Environment, and rape awareness on and on with the thousand different causes that they’ll never be able to narrow down and get traction on. I just want a sandwich, some vodka and a fine ass chick to suck me off. Stop bothering me with this shit.
Conservatives, despite being male friendly, wouldn’t know masculinity if it came up and bit them in the ass. Incurable Mania. This is why they need to spend all of this time posturing and playing as chicken hawks, it gives their political base a false sense of masculinity. Like how Al Capone takes out his lieutenant with a baseball bat at dinner because Al was feeling insecure. Masculinity has to be tempered with sense of calm otherwise it’s self destructive.
Yes, the conservatives TALK about how much they love rules and social norms but they honestly don’t give a shit. Their parties are awesome and the christian girls do anal. Her ass will still be sore when talks about how much she loves Jesus at church in the morning. Jesus, America and Fully Automatic Assault Rifles feels good man.
