No, just another potential nominee amongst many.
I would rather be on the side of someone with Godly morals than with a Godless skank who was nothing more than a lousy community organizer that had no experience at all.
I’m surprised this libtard could get off her knees long enough to type.
what the hell?
Kathleen Parker is losing her touch here.
She forgets that what lib columnists do at this juncture is try to provoke us religulous wingnuts into a denominational brawl over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin and whether J.C. is God and do the snake-handlers believe in the Trinity and all that good stuff.
Instead, she just lifts up her tail and contemptuously poops on all of us evenly.
Bad move. Gratuitous insults won’t advance her cause any.
P.S. and not believing in Global Warming is not the same as not believing in the theory of evolution.
This woman is a prostitute that will do anything to get her dim mind back on TV. There is no evidence at all that Perry is the troglodyte that she paints him as. That is the elitist meme. Global warming has been proven a hoax outright, yet Parker still clings to it like the gospel. Who is the one here discounting reason to ridged conformity to the Green religion?
The Whore and her John.
I choose never again to read a column by any of the people that chose McCain for us then abandoned him to chase after their Messiah in the other party. This list includes Kathleeen Parker, Peggy Noonan, David Brooks.....
I don’t care about all this “Messiah” foolishness. I just want a American in charge.

and here I thought the liberals claimed it wasn’t OK, or fair, or legal, to mix politics and religion.
Anyone who uses the word *messiah* when writing or speaking about politics is way over the edge already...unless they are quoting scripture. But to assign a label like that to ANY politician tells me they have already lost whatever credibility they ever thought they had.
Did Kathleen write anything like this about Obama?
I already know my Messiah; I'm just looking for a politician that respects our Constitution and loves our country.
KMA Kathleen.
Parker’s bound to know better.
As others have said, Christians already *have* a Messiah.
And even the non-Christian Conservatives are comfortable without making the President a Messiah.
It’s the other side, the ones who don’t even believe in the Creator, who are looking for a Messiah.
The problem is not primarily that Rick Perry was a "C" student in college. He may have had more basic science classes than any major presidential candidate that we've had since Jimmy Carter, and maybe none of the others would have done better than making C's either. The problem is not that he doesn't believe that global warming is real. Many of us are skeptics. The problem is not that he seems to believe that the earth is 6,000 years old. Many of us don't know or care how old the earth is. The problem is that he's created an image that makes his approach to all of these things seem to be based on ignorance rather than reason.
"Intellectual" as an adjective means having to do with knowledge, reason, and thought. "Intellectual" as a noun technically means someone who engages in intellectual pursuits, but many of us have come to see "intellectual" as a noun simply describing people who sit around patting themselves on the back for being better than the rest of us. This country has had three years to see the folly of electing a president who is an "intellectual," but most of us aren't looking for someone who isn't "intellectual."
Sadly, some Republicans and conservatives seem to be value anti-intellectualism. They want someone who tries as hard as he can to be stupid or at least affect a stupid image. In their hunger for image over substance, they show the same shallowness that defines many Democrats. In that same spirit of shallowness, they are willing to overlook the Texas DREAM Act, Gardasil-gate, and the Rudy Giuliani endorsement because they think they see conservatism in Perry's anti-intellectual schtick.
If these people succeed in nominating Rick Perry, they will hand Obama another four years in the White House. The country may be looking for a good alternative to Obama, but they aren't looking for an anti-intellectual. They want someone who thinks well and speaks well. Rick Perry isn't that candidate.
Look, I consider myself a political realist, and I still think that as the incumbent, he should be considered the favorite.
But if only 25% of Americans think Obama knows what he's doing with the economy, and Perry gets out the message that 40% of the jobs that were created since 2009 were created in TX, does she really think that people aren't going to vote for him because he doesn't believe in evolution?
I think she may be the one basing her vote on religion, and her bet that the rest of the country will, will be a losing one.
Not my messiah in any shape or form, I just cannot shake the bad vibes I get off this guy.
Who is more pathetic and less relevant: Peggy Noonan or Kathleen Parker? I’m voting for Kathleen, because Peggy actually produced some interesting work, in the far-off past.
