Jews are among the most liberal ethnic groups in America. They are not voting for Perry massively, not even about 30% of them

Perry has his own branding issues to contend with...for one he looks and sounds a bit too much like George W. Bush, but he'll be the anti-Romney the Tea Partiers and hard right evangelicals rally around. He comes across as much less of a joke right from the beginning.
OMG LOL, I just watched that interview and thought Bachmann was brilliant. Gregory threw out gotcha questions and she breezed right through them to his consternation. Backed into a corner? Not at all. Go watch it people to see for yourselves. Don't rely on others to spoon feed it to you. Decide for yourselves. I am more likely to vote for her after that interview.

This makes you wonder what it was the Bush heard God say. Now we have another religious loon who openly denies birth control and gays. Bachmann is against government programs and spending unless she is one of those benefitting from those same programs. Bachmann attacks entitlements demonstrating she has no concern or interest in the elderly, disabled, and children of need. It makes me wonder what Bible she is reading.
Well at least she goes to a church that doesn't have a minister that says---"not God bless America----God damn America" like Obama did and since he has been president that is exactly what is happening. America going down the tubes. I think Obama knew exactly what Wright said and agreed wholeheartedly with it.

Basically you hate gay people and think women are not equal men then? Gotcha. I'm a straight white male and even I think this is repugnant.

Signing a treaty with one line referencing God does not mean the signers accepted that line, as it was irrelevant to the purpose of the document.

And it's directly contradicted by the Treaty of Tripoli.
You must live in two dimensions. How else can someone see the founding fathers recite religious precepts and still think they weren't religious?

You must think the founders were crazy or hypocrites. You don't seem to have a high regard for them at all.

No, I don't hate gay people and I secretly know women are superior to men. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Where is the stick out tongue smiley when you need it?

Jesus Jammies??? I think I know what web sites you have been reading. Hateful ones.

Accept it people, most Americans are religious, believe it or not. Politicians who are religious will not turn off the American people, it's just the opposite.
