Is this politics in the Republican world? Rick Perry Challenges Donald Trump to a Pullup Contest

2015-07-30T09:10:10-04:00

"Let's get a pullup bar out there and see who can do the most pullups,” Perry told a reporter, who told him that Trump “questioned your energy, toughness and quote-unquote, ‘brain power’ that it might require to run a successful campaign.”

It is for a candidate who is barely registering in the polls, and is desperate to get into the first debate.

How many pull-ups a candidate can do is about as relevant to their qualifications for president as their gender or skin color! Damn ... did I say that out loud?

Idiots, the way it's looking, the GOP contenders will water each other down.......God forbid another four/eight years of liberalism! The military will be totally contracted out.

Why don't they just unzip their flies and measure appendages and get it over with. That would be more entertaining.

SPC Jan Allbright, M.Sc., R.S. - Spec; I suppose that, if you don't actually have anything to contribute, it just might.

Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS - Sergeant; Would the show be billed as "drama", "reality TV" or simply "comedy".

GySgt Wayne A. Ekblad - Gunny; Yes you did. Now, let's conduct a country wide campaign to find people whose surname is "Dolt" and whose christian name starts with the letter " A ".

Face it, the campaign slogan "You've done it before, so do it again! Vote for A. Dolt" is a sure winner.

Seems appropriate, most voters tend to favor the candidate with better hair. Why not feats of strength?

Sounds like the words of a desperate man to me! The guy in 9th place challenging the guy in 1st place? Really Perry, is that the best you can do? What about having a debate instead???
