>>> Anita Perry, campaigning for husband Rick Perry in South Carolina, suggests he's been "brutalized" by the media and the GOP because of his faith. <<

Wow, now Perry's got the wife using the "you hate Christians if you oppose Rick Perry" talking point. Maybe he figures more people will buy it if it comes out of her mouth. Of course the one problem with this talking point is that Perry is running for office in a nation that is over 70% Christian. Maybe if he was running in India or Nigeria this line would make sense. Otherwise I guess we are supposed to assume all these lifelong Christians who are against Perry despise their own faith. Wow, I never knew that I hated my own religion! Thank goodness Anita Perry opened my eyes.

>> Perry is the most religiously expressive candidate in the Republican field. He hosted a seven-hour Christian prayer rally in August in advance of entering the presidential race. <<

Funny, I coulda swore that the Perrybots INSISTED Bachmann was the "most religiously expressive candidate", that made her flakey, and that Perry was "more electable" than her because he didn't overplay his faith. They seem to have quickly forgotten that one, along with the claim that Perry critics are "purists" who will attack ANYONE not named Sarah Palin. (this talking point fell apart when Cain began surging even before Palin announced she wasn't running)

>> So much of that is, I think, they look at him because of his faith. He is the only true conservative <<

Interesting how Perry's got the wife using this line now. Maybe next week, Perry's children can start using the "Cain is Romney's VP... they are are running together as a team to take down Perry" line.

Trotting out the wife as a political prop, using religion (last refuge of a scoundrel)-—— all of them-—excellent points, BB.

The Ricky train is careening off the cliff into the swamp at breakneck speed— they are bailing and ditching Plan A, Plan B, Plan C, etc etc etc, fast and furiously, hoping to slow the descent.

Once he realizes his activities there are hurting his candidacy, I predict Ricky will soon say he never even heard of Texas (/snix).
