If this conference call succeeds and launches a serious Rick Perry run, then the GOP could fracture even more, guaranteeing the President term number two.

Sounds like a plan!

Rick Perry’s candidacy would be interesting to say the least. The gay rumors would be deafening.

From the perspective of international relations, a second term for President Obama would probably be no bad thing.
Shivers….”Lou Engle(!)”…..Head in hands.
I watched Lou Engle for about 8 hours over the internet last Sept as he held some kind of rally in Sacramento. All that Bobbing and weaving, drove me NUTS! He is jsut another con is all he is. Notice how he makes the people fast? Yeah that is just to lower their blood sugar so he can practice mind control on the.
I watched this for like 8 hours straight on the internet, I never heard of him before and I was very curious. I also saw pictures of the VIP tent where the “presenters” waited in between their time on stage, that was LOADED, and I mean tables upon tables of pizza boxes. So while they were out front hawking that everyone should fast so they could practice mass brainwashing, they were out in the back stuffing their faces with pizza!
Also I saw pictures, or it might have been video, of the streets blocked off and big huge tv sreens in the street medians along with pallets and pallets of bottled water, and the streets were empty. It was some of the wierdest pictures I ever saw. They set up expecting these huge huge crowds and the streets were empty, I was laughing when I saw those pictures and thinking “Boy I hope they are able to return those pallets of bottled water” There was a small crowd but even I could see it wasn’t all that huge. They grossly overstated their numbers.
I can still picture Lou Engles with that moronic bobbing. For the attendees there, -don’t eat, stand in the heat practice rhythmic bobbing, -yeah TOTAL brainwashing tactics.

Yeah, I just give politicians a bit of leeway on some of this stuff. Wonder how much Perry knows about some of the worse aspects of AFA.
OK, EW, I’ll bite: what’s so bad, to your way of thinking, about Rick Perry? I sure don’t see much resemblance between him and GWB; for starters, he’s actually a conservative, it seems to me. Sure, some suspect RR folks are backing him…but Obama the other day apparently got the backing of the head of the Communist Party USA. Folks of all sorts of different stripes back candidates from either party, and so if your reasoning is that Perry would be a bad choice because he’s being encouraged to run by some RR folks, well, that isn’t very good reasoning, it would seem to me. Frankly, Rick Perry is my first choice for Prez, unless/until I see another better candidate.
Perhaps, I need to give him a second look. However, deliberately partnering with the AFA is more than just being supported or backed by them. He is not just being endorsed, he is endorsing them with the prayer meeting thing. And not just the AFA but Lou Engle(!). If Obama was partnering with the Commies, then I suppose you would have a more valid analogy, but he isn’t that I know of. While I may be engaging in some guilt by association, it is Perry who is choosing the association.
Zoe, for a significant number of Evangelicals, there needn’t be a choice. Such is why we’re seeing folks like David Barton shoehorning the Founding Fathers and what they wrote into the Fundamentalist understanding of Christianity. The Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution, in their minds, are both fundamental Christian documents. I believe this relatively new phenomenon is called Dominionism … euphemism for a theocracy.
Never mind, that Christian wouldn’t include the severer Anabaptists (Amish, Mennonite) nor the Quakers, Unitarian, mainline Lutheran, Episcopalian, Methodist, Presbyterian, who espouse more liberal views… and, those pesky Catholics, who have never really been ‘Christian’.
The current composition of the US Supreme Court must also be a source of distress to some Evangelicals. SCOTUS, which used to be predominantly Protestant for decades and decades, is now: 5 Catholics, 1 sorta Catholic, and 3 Jews.
And, who isn’t aware of all the insinuation and speculation of President Obama, and what his faith belief actually is.
Traditional Christians, of whatever stripe, feel the culture is collapsing all around them (some merit to that thought, imo), feel under attack, and our doing what they consider is best to put Humpty-Dumpty back together again. I don’t agree with their strategy, their objectives; but, I think their fears are not unfounded.
Evangelical Christianity, or the US Constitution. Pick one.

He’s worse than Bush. I know that seems hard to believe but I do think it’s true. Bush was only ever a cheerleader: this one thinks he’s the team.

Please Lord, not another President from Texas.
