Rick Perry brings up birther issue, Karl Rove grumbles

[^_^ 5,021]

Texas Gov. Rick Perry defended his decision to raise the 'birther' issue during an interview with Parade Magazine published over the weekend.

"It's a good issue to keep alive. It's fun to poke at him," Perry told CNBC's John Harwood in an interview airing this morning.

In the Parade Magazine interview, Perry said he does not have "a definitive answer" to the question of whether President Barack Obama was born in the United States, and proceeded to recount Donald Trump's doubts about Obama's birth certificate.

Former Bush strategist Karl Rove criticized Perry on Monday for associating himself with the "nutty" movement.

I am happy to see that the candidates are listening to Rush, Sean and The Donald. We're all better off if they do not take advise from Karl.

it's an optional flat tax. so turbotax does your taxes the old way (with all the old deductions and credits and loopholes) and if your rate comes to less than 20% you stay with that.. if its over 20% then you go flat tax (and fire your accountant).
