Governor Perry deserved their endorsement. He was the only Evangelical they knew he is a devoted Christian. You know I was for Newt Gingrich but he and Santorum are both Catholics and Governor Perry is also 100% pro-life. Those pastors lost all of my respect with they didn't endorse Governor Perry. That should have been a slam dunk, no-brainer.

I agree. I will say one thing for this election season so far---it's flushed out the pretenders.

Gov Perry deserved their endorsement based on his record, and he continues fighting for his principles.

Perry just signed into law two bills aimed at human trafficking.. .

“Perry said the legislation gives a voice to the voiceless” while striking out at those who engage in human trafficking, which the governor described as “modern-day slavery.”

Sure was, onyx. Rick grew up in an old-school Methodist church, and is sometimes called a 'Methodist' - but during his terms as governor, he's been going to 'Lake Hills' (basically a Southern Baptist church which has taken on a 'non-denominational' approach.)

Rick is a 'by the bible' kind of guy. He's been quite vocal about that, which all of us have been quite happy to hear. Those pastors that didn't endorse Perry are obviously part of the now-long-term discredited 'mainstream.' They'll face a far greater judgement for that.
