You need to get over it. Perry is going to announce. Perry is going to surpass Romney and Perry will be the next POTUS. Is he ideal? No. Can he beat Obama? Easily.
Perry doesn't even want to belong to the USA. Me thinks this will hurt him with anyone that isn't on the lunatic tea party fringe.
Nice spin but it has nothing to do with not wanting to belong to the US and has everything to do with not wanting to be part of a US that values the "rights" of illegal immigrants over the rights of US citizens.
...They consider themselves modern-day apostles and prophets, blessed with the same gifts as Old Testament prophets.....

Precisely.
A major chunk of the day was given over to Mike Bickle, who runs the International House of Prayer (IHOP) movement, which recruits young people into “radical” devotion to prayer and fasting. Yes, he’s the guy who said that Oprah is paving the way for the Antichrist. Bickle’s associate Lou Engle has organized a series of stadium events pushing prayer, fasting, and politics under the banner of “The Call,” which provided the model for “The Response.” Bickle and Engle are hard-core dominionists who believe they are ushering in a new Christian church which will take its rightful place of dominion over every aspect of government and society. But in spite of their well-documented extremism, they are embraced by Republican leaders. Engle, for example, took part in a Family Research Council prayer-a-thon against health care reform, at which he introduced Rep. Michele Bachmann.
Perry’s worldview and that of “The Response” organizers seems to see no useful role for non-Christian Americans, whose religious beliefs were denigrated at “The Response.” When Perry told Americans on Saturday that we, “as a nation,” must return to God, it’s clear he meant God as understood by the event’s organizers. Jim Garlow, who organized anti-marriage equality pastors in California before being hired by Newt Gingrich to run one of his political groups, told journalist Sarah Posner on Saturday that “The Response” was “not about whether Perry becomes president, it’s about making Jesus king.” Perry used the event to let right-wing religious voters and churches nationwide know that for those who see politics as spiritual warfare, he is the warrior they have been waiting for.

Fail. You tried to twist Perry's view into anti-American views. Perry is very pro American. He does not support "rights" for illegal immigrants. I don't either.

Seceding equals preservation of a state and its tax paying citizens. Do you really have a problem with that? Isn't a governor's role to protect the state?
Get a grip. Texas isn't going to secede and Perry's not even going to try to take them there. If you're not aware, the idea of secession is a favorite idea of Texans and a way to yank chains... on yanks.
So, consider yourself yanked... hopefully for the last time.

So why would someone who wants to secede from the USA want to become President of the USA?
Let me guess, patriotism.
