Rick Perry Gets Heckled, Claims Abstinence Works Despite Being Presented Statistics That Show Otherwise (VIDEO)

Rick Perry has had a rough week. He is taking a lot of criticism over comments and is following in the footsteps of most Republicans when it comes to answering questions. And questions about the effectiveness of abstinence are no different.

During an interview, Rick Perry was presented with statistics showing that his state of Texas is third in the nation in number of teen pregnancies. The interviewer then asked Perry to explain this ranking if abstinence really works. Perry responded only that “abstinence works” and proceeded to fumble over and over again when confronted with the statistic. He then went on to blame those who teach the kids. Apparently, you have to teach abstinence the correct way, because according to Perry, abstinence worked in his experience. Considering that reports are surfacing about Perry’s investment in porn, I’m betting that not having sex with an actual person came easily to him. (Pardon the pun)

Here’s the video:

    LOL!

    Denial of facts is part and parcel of being a Republican or Teatard. In fact, if he doesn’t become the GOP nominee or the VP pick to pick up the evangelical vote, he will go on to become re-elected as governor of TX.

    Guaranteed.

    What a stuttering, mumbling, ignorant moron. This is what we’re going to have to choose from in 2012. Stick a fork in us America. We’re done!

    Lets see…

    Porn Illegal… Check
    Abortions Illegal… Check
    Rampant pregnancies among the poor and uneducated, leading to huge increases in welfare, medicaid, etc… Check

    No wonder they want to kill public aid, they want to pull America further along the path towards a feudalistic society.

    Rich white males, will get everything they ask for, and own everything
    Rich white females, will be pseudo slaves to the male desires and fantasies
    Non-rich whites, will be the slave masters, running the work that keeps the rich, rich
    Everyone else will be slave labor, working to keep “goo massa” up there…

    Anyone else not like that vision of the world? Reject them now, see to it that they are shot, out of a cannon, into the sun!

    He reminded me SO much of Bush in that clip. The same “deer in the headlights” confused look, the same inability to express a cogent thought. That’s all we need – another intellectual lightweight.

    If it worked there’d be one less Rick Perry in the world.

    I can’t believe no one is laughing in this audience. I was about to lose a lung. What a schmuck.

    Hahaha! Best laugh I’ve had all day… Perry may have invested in the porn Bachmann is promising to outlaw! Marvelous! Just perfect!
