1. Yup, SS and Medicare violate his sense of constitutionality.

But there's nothing wrong with imposing you particular far right wing fundamentalist beliefs on all of us. Goody, just what we need, an American Taliban for President.

3. Not his call. Truly it's not.

The sole arbiter of the constitutionality of our laws has already decided that both programs are constitutional. It appears that Perry doesn't understand the Constitution in the first place. Disqualified for the office he seeks, in my opinion.

6. This guy's a candidate for the land's second highest office?

(You know, second behind the loose cabal of bankers, billionaires and war industrialists that really call all the shots, I mean)

This is what America's come to?

People pay into these funds and get it when they're older; when they NEED it. It's the very entities that stand between the likes of Rick Perry and the torches, pitchforks and machetes.

You should say "Thank you" and shut the fuck UP, Ricky!

Classic comment. And yes, you hit the mark about SS and Medicare standing between the rich and the poor. And you stated it in a way that made me smile. Thanks.

9. If anything is unconstitutional it's this idiot.

He and Romney have the "smarmy" department tied up.
