Has anyone paid any attention to Rick Perry, who is poised to run as a Republican candidate? He's having a day-long "call to Jesus" kind of rally in August billed as "a non-demominational, apolitical, Christian prayer meeting" in a Houston stadium. He's inviting other governors and his funding comes from the American Family Association, "an organization labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center," according to the Huffington Post article below. I see so many conservative pundits practically drooling over this guy's possible run for the White House. If he becomes their candidate, Obama is sure to get a second term. Perry is down right scary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's a big deal in Texas. Perry reminds me of Elmer Gantry. Anyone remember who he is? A great big phoney with a Bible in one hand and a wad of cash in the other.

He looks like a hybrid between Josh Brolin (who played Bush I think) and Bush junior, with characteristics of Reagan sprinkled about. Add in the "everything pertains to Christ" factor and you could have a guy that really appeals to the GOP base. I'd imagine indy voters would be turned off, but I would have thought that about W as well.

He is dangerous, but his treasonous rhetoric should kill any hopes of national political ambitions.
I hope they have some of that rhetoric on tape to use in commercials, should he end up being the front runner in the Republican party. A lot of those social conservatives and over-the-top secessionists know enough to change their rhetoric when speaking to the general public. His anti-gay crap won't go over well with liberals, either, and hopefully not with independents.

Heard a new word today to describe the "cross-breeding" of Tea Party conservatives and social conservatives.----Teavangelists. It was in a discussion of the likely Rick Perry supporters. I hope the word catches on.

I hope the word catches on.
It will if I have anything to do with it. Watch me later tonight...
Were you able to work the word "teavangelist" into any of our posts? I'm still looking for opportunities.

Bummer. And all this time I thought I was a Teavangelist because I proclaim to others the awesomeness that is my local Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers restaurant's Sweet Ice Tea?
So good.
So good.
Why do you read that kind of crap, Art? Seriously, I don't get it.

I used to drink some sweet iced tea (redneck neighbors) as a kid that had so much sugar, you're teeth would practically rot out while you were drinking it.
