The Foul Odor Coming From Wasilla Alaska, and Paint Creek Texas

There is a Southern expression “Just because a cat has kittens in the oven, that don’t make them biscuits.” Like the kittens in the oven that aren’t necessarily biscuits, growing up in a small farm town, does not necessarily make you a farmer. Even though Rick Perry advertises himself as a small town farmer/cowboy

and became the Agricultural Commissioner for Texas,  Rick Perry is far from a friend of the farmer.

Perry is so deeply unpopular in his hometown of Paint Creek that residents he went to school with, and even his former Boy Scout Troop Leader, will not be voting for him.

Perry touts himself as being from a town so small it lacks a zip code. He spins the tale of growing up the son of poor tenant farmer, who wore clothes sewn by his mother. While he proclaims himself as the product of Paint Creek, he is a product a town that is not proud of producing him. The residents of Paint Creek feel forgotten by Perry.

Haskell County Judge, David C. Davis stated that Perry “absolutely” turned his back on the town and that Perry has not been seen “in many years”.

Wallar Overton, Perry’s Boy Scout Troop Leader, who presented Perry with his Eagle Scout badge, indicated that he will not support Perry’s bid for the Presidency, stating “Our politics don’t jibe”.

 

Speaking anonymously to Huffington Post, a classmate who has known Perry since kindergarten stated that Rick Perry has a “big mouth”, but “doesn’t do much”.

A past neighbor of Perry explained that “I never saw him on a tractor in his life…And I never did see him on a horse.”

It seems that with Rick Perry, like Sarah Palin, those who know him best, like him the least. When you look good and lie well, people initially think only good things about you. After people begin to see Palin and Perry for the people they really are, they feel abandoned and deceived. Whether you are from Paint Creek Texas, or Wasilla Alaska, the smell of a skunk is still unmistakable.
