All those who three months ago thought Perry would be a good choice for president are now seeing what we in Texas have seen for years; a bumbling empty suit.

Good hair, though.

Damn that effin' pinko-commie-*******-numbnutz neo-prog rock fan-godless weirdo hippy Rick Perry!

How dare anyone, ever say "Happy Holidays" ever. John Wayne didn't kill all those Germans and Japs back in WWII(on film) so that some spinless jellyfish seventy years later could say "Happy Holidays," instead of "Merry Mothereffin' Christmas!"

Didn't he learn anything from the old TV special "A Charlie Brown Christmas?"

Well...Jesus never seemed to care before.

Days of Prayer for Rain in the State of Texas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:
The drought continued to worsen for four months following the Days of Prayer. While only 15-17% of the state was undergoing exceptional drought by late April, the percentage grew to 50% a month later, and by late June, more than 70% of the state was experiencing exceptional drought conditions, a level at which it persisted until August 18, 2011.

I'm pretty sure most of us agree. OP was simply trying to point out the hypocrisy - Perry has said there's a "war on religion" in this country.

It seems that Perry failed the litmus test of supporting Christmas.
rotflmao... It takes away the focus of WHAT? ask most kids what the meaning of christmas is, (And even some adults), and you won't even hear the name Jesus, you're gonna hear santa claus and gifts..

The commercialization of christmas has done more harm than saying, "Happy Holidays".

If I hadn't seen that bomb of an ad earlier this week, I might have believed that.
