Note: I've never seen so many "dislikes" for a video on youtube.

I don't need to rail against Perry's video because plenty of people already have:
I don’t know which is worse: that a Republican candidate for president can freely lie and campaign against imaginary enemies, or that there are swarms of people listening to that bull**** who will agree with him.

Perry: Not Ashamed, For Some Reason - Skepchick
Here’s the transcript:

I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m a Christian, but you don’t need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there’s something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can’t openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school.

As president, I’ll end Obama’s war on religion. And I’ll fight against liberal attacks on our religious heritage.
Faith made America strong. It can make her strong again.
I’m Rick Perry and I approve this message.

Forget that Christians represent the largest religious group in the US, at around 70% of the population. Forget that homosexual men and women are daily giving their lives for this country. Forget that separation of church and state protects the citizenry’s right to practice whatever religion they want. Forget that Rick Perry is wearing the same jacket Heath Ledger wore in Brokeback Mountain (found via Reddit):



Forget all that, because Rick Perry has, in 30 seconds, let us all know that Christians are an oppressed minority who are beaten with their Bibles for wearing Christmas sweaters to school and then forced at gunpoint to shower naked with horny homos in Afghanistan.
Thankfully, he’ll be ending that war on religion you didn’t know was happening. Remember when Obama authorized troops to storm into churches, kill all worshippers, and board up the doors? It happened about a year ago, I think, right after Obama approved about $140 million to be given to faith-based initiatives:
“It kind of fell from the sky, and it was unbelievable that we had this much extra money,” said Jackie Rucker, executive director of the church-sponsored nonprofit in Pennsylvania’s capital.
​
It definitely happened after Obama publicly identified as a “Christian by Choice,” saying that “I think my public service is part of that effort to express my Christian faith.”
I’m pretty sure it came some time during those two years that Obama dragged his feet and ignored gay rights groups who called on him to fulfill his campaign promise to repeal Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. But it was definitely before that well-documented string of suicides from gay students who were bullied, often by their Christian peers who tell them they’re going to hell.
Yep, that’s probably when the war on religion [Christianity] started. Let’s hope Perry wins the election! It’ll be nice to have a President who is anti-war.

Oh, common: God fearing vagina penetrators :lol:
 
What have gays who are serving in the military and that lay their lives down for their country done to you, Rick Perry? Next, you be as stupid as to say that Same sex couples have an overall affect on the sexuality of the child they take care of... Oh wait... Already have. Damn, you are dumber then you look. I'd like to point out that the man who created the music for the video is a gay composer. And the jacket he is wearing is from Brokeback Mountain. Not Ironic...
 
Conservative politicians should really look at this like/dislike ratio of this youtube video and consider the implications.

My guess is that youtube users will be tilted towards urban youth who tend to vote democratic anyway...

Perry has fell from grace (top tier) and is slinging everything at the wall to see what sticks. You hold on the tightest right before you let go. But what is really telling, is the candidates recognize that they need Ron Paul supporters to win this election, so they all kiss up to him. Perry has never read anything on the FED; it was all a ploy.

Perrys been done...he was just one of the many fleeting teaparty loves in this absurd primary....Im sorry but I have to laugh that the teapartys greatest fear at the beginning of all this was ROMNEY OR GINGRICH...<gasp> the two rinos extraordinaire...now all of sudden they are trying desparetely to make Gingrich out to be a super conservative tyranasaurus.
 
This guy is a walking gaff machine. Maybe he's doing it to attract former Cain supporters. :lol:

While criticizing President Barack Obama for picking winners and losers in the energy industry, he bungled the name of the most famous energy company to go under despite government assistance.

“No greater example of it than this administration sending millions of dollars into the solar industry, and we lost that money,” Perry began. “I want to say it was over $500 million that went to the country Solynda.”

If I'm not mistaken, Solynda borders Ubekibekibekistanstan.

Is Ubekibekibekistanstan part of the former Soviet Union? I can't recall.
 
Hysterical that Tricky Rickie is so against the "Gays". Maybe because there has been gay rumors about him for years???? (Because he was a cheerleader, but wasn't Bush Baby a cheerleader too?)
Me thinks he is trying to distance himself.
 
He's from Texas, what else did you expect?
