This Is The Moment Rick Perry's Presidential Chances Flash Crashed
1 minute 40 seconds into this clip is where Rick Perry's presidential chances flash crash. Literally. As the attached InTrade chart shows, the Perry presidential contract imploded from a prevailing level of about 9 by 60% to 3 in the span of milliseconds, and has since dead cat bounced to about a 50% decline. Who would have thought that the vacuum tubes have now taken over presidential odds as well? As for Perry's presidential chances, this being America, where the population gets precisely the president it deserves, we would not be at all surprised if this epic moment of self-humiliation did not just cement Perry's election chances. In other news, ISDA has just declared all CDS written on Perry to be untriggered as his political suicide was completely voluntary.
And the actual Flash Crash. Source: Intrade

Derp, derp, derp, what was the other derp?
Um um um whats that third one um um um. Fuck that douche
third one DEA.
No, wasn't it France?
Even Cramer, from 2:00-3:20 in this video, admits to how week the banking system is. It is VERY IMPORTANT TO HOLD PHYSICAL CASH OR PHYSICAL SILVER RIGHT NOW BECAUSE YOU CAN'T TRUST YOUR BANK DEPOSITS TO BE REDEEMABLE! Of course, I would suggest holding silver, but no matter what you do, please do something. If Italy collapses, it is game over for fiat.

Wrong.... again
Go buy some AAPL bill.
It's already game over for fiat. The only question is how much longer will it last?
WOW, DRUNK AGAIN, WTF
I would love Rick Perry as President, he gets me laughing so hard. At least I could be laughing while the whole shit house goes up in flames.
Bush and Perry could be sort of like the Dick York and Dick Sargent of Washington. Presto, chango and and the hilarity goes on and on.
Perry would get drunk and launch all the nukes and somehow retarget them so they land around most major cities. He is an accident waiting to happen. Run away if you happen to see him walking in your direction.
Wasn't perry gore's campaign manager, that would explain a lot.
Perry graduated from Paint Creek High School in 1968. He then attended Texas A&M University, where he was a member of the Corps of Cadets, a member of the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity, was elected senior class social secretary, and was also elected as one of A&M's five yell leaders (a popular Texas A&M tradition analogous to male cheerleaders).[14] Perry graduated in 1972 with a Bachelor of Science degree in animal science with a 2.5 GPA.[15]
I also have an Animal Science degree from A&M. The shame.
Thethethethethethethethe that's all folks.

Admiral Stockdale
Nice........cruel, but +1
But rememeber his running mate'sating cry.
Free Trade Agreements. The sound of jobs being sucked outa America. Pucqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqssh.
You mean the officer and gentleman who repeatedly smashed his own face with a stool in order to avoid being used in propaganda film footage while a POW during the Vietnam War? Are you referring to the moment in a debate when he had difficulty with his hearing aid?
Dude.
Admiral Stockdale was able to answer once he fixed his hearing aid. Obama is surely lost even with his teleprompter and crackberry.
Low blow.
I found the Admiral admirable. Think of the game what you will, just saying neither man was prepared
As I recall, it was Gore, Stockdale, and Quayle in that debate. Yeah, Stockdale certainly is worth making fun of in that company.
/sarc off.
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7ms7k_saturday-night-live-joyride-with...
We laugh, but Perry's brainfart will endear him to innumerable halfwits in America's rural backwaters.
Oh, you must be one of those urban self-righteous fucktards who thinks they have all of the answers.
Every voter thinks that. That's why they are perennially in search of the ideal President. just like the son, looking perennially for the ideal father. Just ain't there except in ones ideal world.
next time Paul will just give him a bottle of syrup to play with during the debate...
Reminds me of this...
"There is no way, NO WAY, that you could come from my loins... Junior, when I get home I'm gonna punch yo momma in the mouth."
Exactly!
W was even worse, and the 'I'd like to have a beer with that guy' crowd ate it up!
Yeah, you urban metrosexuals have done such a fantastic job that I really understand your feeling of superiority.
Go shave your legs and clean out your man bag, princess.
he was so lost lol
boom goes the dynamite
Perry's Faux Paw aside, I lived in Texas a number of years & this guy is just another Joker. Vote for him and then go back to grazing with the rest of the sheeple .
He gets ahead of himself and loses focus. Definately needs the launch codes, he would be a fun president. Fucking Ron Paul looked freakin' amused that Perry asked for his help.
I really hate the other candidates. This is yet anothe election where we get to choose from dressed up ass hats who can speak bullshit with a straight face.
There are no unicorns in the political world. Not even Ron Paul. They all have some issues or weaknesses. But any one of them are superior to the dunce that we currently have.
Based on the headware sported by some of his followers Ron Paul may actually be a tricorn.
The Republicans had a low bar.
All they needed to beat Obama was a dumb rock.
Yet with this effort they appear incapable of providing inert matter into the 2012 campaign.
Anyone but Obama or Romney.
Anyone but Bush = Obama
And the survey says..."What is the Dept of Energy".
Dept. of amnesia - they can never remember that one.
Nah. The Department of Redundancy Department.

This was seriously the best, funniest, most embarrassing thing I've ever seen happen to someone in real time. What a NIGHTMARE! I literally almost vomitted for him while this was happening.
I would have run off the stage and punched Kramer in the face just for the hell of it. I mean, seriously, would that really make it any worse?
That would have been +1000. I'm gonna try and dream that tonight!
cain says the audience was booing the question...not the "princess nancy" comment or the alleged groping(s)
edit: "they knew what i was talking about" says cain
I just subjected myself to the debate - in its entirety. Pretty much we are just "f'd". I do not know what is worse - more B.O. or these guys.
I will be voting for the only candidate with any amount of clue - Ron Paul.
I love Ron Paul, but I'm really starting to love Newt. He would massacre O in any debate, let alone a Lincoln-Douglas style debate.
It would be entertaining - but he has so much baggage - he would lose in the general.
Everyone has baggage. If he DIDN'T have baggage, I'd be worried.
at least he isnt a serial groper.
Wasn't Newt banging an intern while trying to impeach Clinton for doing the same?
http://spectator.org/blog/2011/03/09/newt-too-patriotic-to-be-faith
Uh-hu. But it was because of the true-blue red-hot patriotic blood in his veins.
That sexual predator Clinton was impeached for lying under oath.
He'd show his Tiffany accounts in place of his birth certificate.
I know, right? I used to think Newt was really arrogant, abrasive, etc., - but I'm starting to think he's the smartest and most reasonable candidate.
The lesser of all the other evils, I guess.
He's the next Perry, er Cain, flavor of the month.
He won't survive the hard hitting.
A lie has to be 75% true to be accepted. That's Newt. At 100% true is Ron Paul.
Well, Newt can at least sit on a couch with Nancy and bring everyone the joys of carbon taxes. Yay!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi6n_-wB154
Which leads to:
http://climaterealityproject.org/
A president named Newt...
"She turned me into a newt!"
"A newt...?"
"Well... I got better..."
Mitt Romney is the NWO chosen one. He's stolen about a billion with some help from the bushes and clintons. He's going to be pumping Main Shit Media like a porn star.
You can almost see the strings. We are fucking doomed.
"Who the hell is 'we'"? If you want system change, all this is going perfectly. Romney gets the nom, Paul goes 3P. Then Obama wins in the EC while losing >55% of the popular vote. Combine that with an economic crash, may be IranWar as well, and you've got a Perfect Storm. First Tuesday in November, 2012. Then: 60 days to Ft. Sumter.
If the Iranians would hurry up and test a nuke, there won't be an Iran War. Somebody needs to talk to them.
Too bad they won't have nukes for ten years max. They don't even have a nuclear power facility....
as far as you know. Pakistan and india and china all have nukes and reactors and israel as well. Proliferation can't be stopped, unless they kill everyone in the world who knows an atomic weapon is possible to make.
Knowledge has a way of permeating the civilized world, what is rare and difficult becomes progressively more common as time progresses.
We are reaching a tipping point in so many areas and nearly simultaneously - the whole ball of wax can go to hell in a heartbeat and there ain't much we can do but watch and drink a cold one.
cheers....
Hasn't the UN tried to talk to Iran about it for years now? Should let them keep working on it.
/sarc (just to be sure)
+1 for accuracy, -1 for sadness. Bad news is, if perry is really out, somebody has to pick up the "Buffet Rule" baseball bat and keep hitting Romney with it. BEFORE Obama does it in the general. Specifically, Romey says he will release his taxes in "the spring" meaning after he has the nomination sewn up. He is going to turn out to be another 11% effective taxpayer like John Kerry in 2004. The difference is, the sheep are cool with limosene tax dodging liberals, but not limosene tax dodging conservatives. Somebody needs to use Obamas uncle warren buffet rule bear trap on Romney NOW. Instead of predicatably ceeding Obamas 2nd term unopposed, as is the current custom for the D/R puppet masters.
He has been positively groomed for the part - so obvious. I can't bear the thought.
Was it the Fed? Oh wait, that's not an agency of government...
I am not a perry fan. But this could help Ron Paul.
Also there are so many agencies it is easy to get deered in the headlights like he did there. Most americans cant think of 3 agencies period, much less 3 they would cut.
And the answer was HUD.
he should of just said IRS, get shot and be done with it
Well even I would not have supported him in that. The IRS is absolutely nessecary. Despite my libertarian leanings, taxes are absolutely nessecary. The problem is the tax code makes it impossible to collect on the "people" who should be paying some tax, so the IRS has to go after the people they can enforce on, which is the middle class. Ever wonder why Andy never gave Barney more than one bullet for his service revolver? Ron Paul 2012.
Did you forget the /sarc?
Just wonderin'....
The only thing income taxes are necessary for is to keep the fiat currency ponzi going which is going to collapse anyhow. How exactly are you libertarian leaning then? You really think you could tax people that have a million and one ways to hide their wealth or leave the country if you somehow were able to? You're right about the tax code benefiting people that have ways to hide their wealth that most don't but you don't patch up a broken system with more regulation. Taxes aren't compatible with liberty considering they make you a slave to the state by owning your labor and having you dependent on the crumbs that's thrown back to you.
tax; noun; 1 a compulsory contribution to state revenue, levied by the government on workers' income and business profits
Watch this informative cartoon
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHe4OQ4bY4o
Good stuff. I will continue my research. I fully admit I am not as sophisticated as most here. My current progress is only up to the point of the hyppocracy of people like Romney and Kerry. They want to run the government, but they dodge the taxes of that very government.
In your video, they would be using the sheild in self defense, but then having the power to order the agressive actors to go take the stuff from somebody else. Mind boggling how Romney does not want to release his tax information. He literaly will be ordering young americans to die in the defense of this country, have access to top secret technological secrets, yet he wont publish his 1040s?
My vision of the IRS would be to implement a fair, flat tax that is largely based on consumption of non survival nessecities. But again, I am just starting my path of education. Thank you zerohedge. no sarc intended in this post at all.
All the more reason to not elect these parasites. This video shows all you need to know about politics but people continue to elect these politicians that do not give a shit about them.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe1d32I_wUY
There's no such thing as a fair flat tax because it would hurt the poor the most. A flat tax of zero is the only fair system. What other people pay or don't pay in taxes does not affect me at all considering I have no need for the federal government or its services. But the fact that people are able to get through loopholes (especially insiders) goes to show that the tax system is broken and should be abolished.
Here's a tabled history of U.S. taxes. Traditionally the U.S government operated off tariffs especially import tariffs and the great thing about import tariffs is that they encourage internal growth since imported goods will not come cheap.

"In your video, they would be using the sheild in self defense, but then having the power to order the agressive actors to go take the stuff from somebody else"
That shield is a euphemism and the perpetrator would either be dead, in jail, or banished.
look at Romney's donors, all wall street

Jesus H Christ on a SHeep, Romney is a venture capitalist muckety muck. he's in bed with the likes of Goldilocks and JPM. Fuck all folks, he's a Bilderberger.... Started the Original Obamacare...
He's as Establishment Bull Shit Business As Normal as one can be.
Jumpin' Jesus on a Pogostick! Everybody knows that a burrow-owl lives in a hole in the ground! Why the hell do you think they call it a burrow-owl anyway?

This would have more meaning if voting actually had meaning. The machine funds all sides they dont care who wins
the big players dont fund Paul... they will shoot him though if they have to
And of course, even after this fail, the media will still give Perry more time than Paul.
But who won the Illonois straw poll? Oh that's right, it doesn't matter if Perry or Romney don't win.
Big time! Enjoy the links. You will need them in the Europe session. http://www.bloomberg.com/quote/GBTPGR10:IND/chart .

Three candidates i would wish go away are Pery, Pery and the third one....lets see......
Perry, Phineas and Ferb
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEHHW0_kHfg
its better with perry, apparently he is a platypus which would explain the brain fart.
Another teleprompter puppet...lol.
He's more like Bush Jr then Bush Jr is. Couldnt make it up.
Herman Cain answers question about high frequency trading by mentioning his bold plan, that was pretty fucking dumb too.
What's more bold, Cain's 9-9-9 tax plan or a Godfather's meaty deluxe pizza?
For the record: Godfather's Pizza sucks!
Bold new tax plan: 9-9-9 - will cure all. Sure it will...right after we get done installing the Theocracy.
The part that I loved the most was "the voters will hold their feet to the fire"; like when our elected officials bailed out everyone, like when our elected officials got together on the 4 new free trade treaties; it is endless.
"the voters will hold their feet to the fire"
Yeah that fucking worked, as evidenced by the near seamless policy continuity between the Bush and Obama adminstrations.
I guess 9-9-9 would somehow dismantle the plutocracy too.
And that BullShit about understanding Washington by virtye of his stint as the head of the Resturant Whateverthefuckitis.... He's a Lobbyiest, for fuck's sake.
He sure does understnd DC... where the money goes to make things happen sweet for him...
To quote Governor Perry - oops.
You caught that too. Regardless of the question that asshole was going to push that turd out front.
Make it stop, please.
Reminds me of another drunk Texas governor idiot we used to know.
Yeah -don't count perry out -drunken retard texas Governors do pretty well in national elections. And perry is a sexual deviate -just like Bush , Clinton and the fag Obama. Now Granted, he's not a serial rapist like Clinton. Perry is pretty much harmless. He likes the booze, and occasional coke party and whores, occasionally a fun time with the Boys, like his West palm beach visit to the La Te Da club -something he was stupid enough to place on his camapaign finance report, and which he had to withdraw and then claim his wife Anita went to the drag show at La Te Da when he got caught. I've been in Texas politics for 20 years. I've followed Perry his whole career. Dumb stupid aggie -a cheerleader at Texas A&M before they admitted girls -he almost flunked out. His grades were horrible. He really is a nice guy -harmless, except dangerous in that Justice would be for sale -everything is for sale in Texas under perry -and he will gladly be in the back pocket of AIPAC, Wall Street and the military industrial complex -if it will make him President.
All the rest suck-except Ron Paul. Newt is looking better, but I would never vote for that asshole. Used to like him years ago.
SavyinDallas, I +1'd you because of the bulk of your comment, but don't call 0bama a "fag"- I don't want him to be associated with us gay guys at all!
Go Ron Paul! Great video clip, Tyler!
We are so fucked.
I say bring back Bachmann. This circus needed a fucking bit of sanctimonious slapdown rhetoric.
snarc: Right ... something about Iran preffers dogs over cats as pets ... that is an outrage because as a former federal tax attorney I can tell you that cats are just as good as pets as dogs ... lets nuke the iranians over this offense. Obama does not have the guts to do it.
/snarc
We really dont need her or santorum anywhere near a microphone. Seriously. we dont need the TPTB to get any more ideas for false flags.
Wouldn't it be great if someone turned up a nude sex video from her wild college days. maybe a wild party with her jewish friends on the Kibbutz when she stayed in Israel. That would really add to this circus.
You mean better than the corn-dog photos?
Perry's disdain for education is well documented.
That was better that the dude tweaking his hearing aid ....uh um the VP candidate who ran with Perot....
That fuckup will go down in 'Fail' history....
Admiral Wrongway. Kept Quayle and Gore apart, sort of.
Stockdale.
Hey douche
That fuckup (Adm Stocdale) had a hearing aid because he lost most of his hearing as a result of torture by his N Vietnamese captors. He was a POW
From wiki
"He was awarded 26 personal combat decorations, including the Medal of Honor and four Silver Stars. During the late 1970s, he served as President of the Naval War College."
Perhaps he didn't have the best snap, but he deserves respect for his service. If thats a fuckup, what does that make you?
As impressive as his resume was -he was emabarassingly bad at the debates. it realy was kind of funny at the time. He sure didn't help Periot.
In case you didn't notice, I was complimenting Stockdale. I was a bonafide Perotista myself. If the spineless pukes that run this country had started to realize the debt risk back then, we wouldn't be living through this Keynesian nightmare.
Hearing aid or not, sad to say elections are more American Idol than military awards.
No disrespect for the old squid. Just the other type of squid are scum....
Wow.
Edit: Stepped away for 15 mins. All I can still say is, wow. <insert shaking-head emoticon>
the 3rd one was the christmas tree agency idiot! why isn't he pulling a palin, and using the xtra writing space on his hand?
He ran out of space when he wrote " i am Rick perry and I want to be president". On his left hand and. " just don't fuck up and it's yours" on the right hand.
Good thing he didn't slap his forehead.
Woulda been crayon all over, and that shit's hard to remove.
On his man parts he's got "I Love Ron Paul"
Rick Perry is Perfect for President. The Mouth moves without help if the mind and the Mind is controlled by others. Bush in a Texas suit
Bush was from texas, too. Sheesh
Beeguessus yah don't say. ITS THE FUCKING WATER I TELL YOU. (or the chilli)
Who was the go to guy?
The smartest guy in the room (OK Gingrich is sorta smart) but RON PAUL!!!!!
Watching on DVR, so I'm behind, but Paul has only gotten two questions and hit home runs on both.
The amazing thing is, except for foreign policy, every fucking candidate in there sounds like 2008 Ron Paul. They're only 4 years behind the curve.
You're just a fanatical Ron Paul supporter...;-)

Or notice my wink...;-)
Same infamous deer in the headlights look we got from Dub on 09/11 when he was reading childrens books, or not reading the books.
It's like a horrible car accident. Painful to watch but you still can't tear your eyes away. What an idiot.
Ah shucks there Ron Paul, think you could help a fella Texan pull his head out from these here butt cheeks and name a galddern federal agency I could get rid of... I mean like right now! I got a lotta frickin people watchin here.
Yeah, did you see him turn to RP for help naming a third agency? And RP holds up five fingers. L'd MAO
Paul is fuckin' savvy.
So there's this broad at work who thinks she's got a 150 IQ and doesn't like Ron Paul because he wants to legalize pot and hookers. Concepts of federalism are lost on the population, Paul needs to massively increase his marketing campaign.
I like you Rick, but your intelligence is beginning to show......
Any more reasons why Ron Paul shouldn't deserve the nomination?
What are the first signs of alzheimers?
Ask Cheech (or Chong)
Grey hair and wrinkles.
Now only if Herman Cain's main vein had stayed in his pants, he might still have a chance to not win.
flash crashes happen all the time on intrade. Most of the time they dont last bc they dont trigger margin calls .
He is still having a better week than Joe Paterno.
Week isn't over. Wait til Saturday to judge.

There's Ron Paul and then there's wanna be Ron Pauls. Any questions?
you telling me... fucking copy cats. piss me off to no end.
Newt: fire ben bernake. audit the fed.
Cain: we need sound money
Perry: we need to eliminate federal departments wholesale
who's the ONLY candidate who's been saying ALL THESE things for the past 30 fucking years.
Fake it 'til you make it.
Put him in the shower with that other fag from Penn State. He'll know what to do.......Perry will feel right at home!
HAhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Don't mess wit Texas! HAhahahahahahahahahahaha!
Perry/.....and uh....um....uh..... 2012
actually he probably saved his ass by NOT remembering, after all what are you going to SAY you're going to cut, that won't get some special interest group after you. of course he lying when he says he'll cut things, (if he had said that it would have been the most candid moment in american politics) yeah hell i was just making stuff up. frankly a lot of us who aren't dumb phuques have these moments, i like him he's not rehearsed. as opposed to the teleprompter in chief.
Check it out. Dustin Hoffman, 'Rain Man,' look retarded, act retarded, not retarded. Counted toothpicks, cheated cards. Autistic, sho'. Not retarded. You know Tom Hanks, 'Forrest Gump.' Slow, yes. Retarded, maybe. Braces on his legs. But he charmed the pants off Nixon and won a ping-pong competition. That ain't retarded. Peter Sellers, "Being There." Infantile, yes. Retarded, no. You went full retard, man. Never go full retard. You don't buy that? Ask Sean Penn, 2001, "I Am Sam." Remember? Went full retard, went home empty handed...
The 3rd one is the CIA stupid.
Absolutely thuck as fick
This is why it's important to start everyday with well balanced breakfast. It gives you the energy you need to not stammer like stroke victim and crap yourself on national television.
That's why I start everyday with a delicious and nutritious bowl of Politicos Puffs Brand Cereal - fortified with chocolate flavored ginkgo biloba. Politicos Puffs are a great way to remember what the hell you're supposed to say today! Free flag pin in every box!
Better than being televised live eating a soup-sandwich while swinging your football-bat towards the hockey-hoop....
I vote for perry to replace the deer, O I know it's a BIG step for him but I think he has "the right stuff"!
fuk , slap a flak jacket and a cod piece on him and we got a deer for our times!
O MY GOD!
b7 you have dished a classic.
