11thHour's post accurately describes my opinion on Rick Perry.

So, will you use your 'own' choice of words? As is, I'm still '''in the dark'' ...as to exactly what you are trying to express?

A majority of people believing something does not equate it being true. I'm sure that the majority of 3-6 year olds believe in the Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, and Santa Claus, however that does nothing to persuade me to believe they are real.

Maybe I'll start my own political party and call it the Posidan Party, and we can all pay our taxes by throwing money into the sea to appease my god...better yet, throw it into the fountains at the mall and stimulate the economy. Is it too late for me to run for 2012?

Here's some more:

''Perry, surrounded by what he called “a diverse group of Jewish leaders from here and abroad,â€characterized President Obama’s approach to the Middle East as “naive and arrogant, misguided and dangerous.†Perry also outlined the policy stance he would take toward Israel as president.''

You can read Perry’s proposal here.

Perry certainly got the above right!
Perry, the Good (and typical) christian, lying and slandering....but I'm sure some airy fairy in the sky will put him on the right course if we all just pray... (that's always worked so well:rolle yes:)

Obama knelt at the altar of Israel as well. Oh yes, he assured AIPAC (American Israeli Political Affairs Committee) that he would fight their fight. Does anyone seriously think there's any other reason for the US presence in Afghanistan and Iraq? Does anyone seriously doubt that the World Trade Center bombing occurred for any reason other than US support for Israel? Does anyone doubt that the US will go to war with Iran if the orders come from Tel Aviv? Does anyone believe that there will be any limits to the lives and money lost?

I'll vote for Ron Paul, the only one who does not go to his knees and bang his head on the floor for Israel. I'd love to vote for him as a Republican but I know it will be as a write-in as it was last time.

don't be so sure, many people don't believe in "religion" it just isn't important in their daily life. many people of "faith" don't need the bible or church to tell them how to lead a good 'christian style" life.

not many want their elected officials to wear their religion on their sleeve nor make policy by it.

True. But then they elect as president someone who believes the toothfairy is real and then make public policy according to a book written thousands of years ago about this make believe toothfairy, thus forcing one to live under her proxy rule. It's insanity.
