Rick Perry promised to "end Obama's war on religion" in a new television ad touting his socially conservative credentials.

The Texas governor, who's in the midst of an ad blitz in Iowa, said there's "something wrong with America" when gays and lesbians are allowed to serve openly in the military, but "our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school."

The ad is a play for Iowa's numerous socially conservative voters, who may have an out-sized impact in the state's Jan. 3 caucuses.

Just goes to show you how far out of touch these people really are.

This nomination election, and of course talk of your impending National vote is all over our news here.  I saw or read something the other day about how folks in the US are declaring themselves Independants in huge numbers now.  And that same article or show said that the overwhelming majority of Indpendants are centerists and that is the whole reason for declaring themselves such.  Growing concern over both the Dems and Republicans becoming far far too right or too left.  So seeing that completely contradicts much of what is coming out of these potential nominees mouths.  You would think that knowing that the Republicans would be all over someone in the middle.  They keep saying they need to find someone who can beat Obama.  Sigh, it's so confusing.  It's like average everyday Americans are speaking one language and the politicians are talking another altogether.  And there doesn't seem to be a translator in the mix.

I think Huntsman is pretty smart as well.  The RNC won't prop him up though, precisely for the reason you stated... being closer to the center.  This is going to be about extremes.  Politics in this country tend to swing like a pendulum.  We went right, then went left.... not a chance it will slow towards the middle even though it seems to be the most tolerable place right now.

This stuff just isn't in the peoples hands.... it's just not.  Truthfully, I don't know if it will be any time in the future either.  I personally think the system is too large right now, and Americans are about to be in a fight to get it all back.  "Occupy" isn't the fight. I believe the fight will be in the next 10 years, some of it based on what some of the "occupiers" are trying to stand for.  They need guidance by smarter people that are organizing and those people will start to show themselves.

Perry.... If there is a God, I hope he helps this guy.  I'm not a very religious guy, but I cannot see this clown anywhere near the light, and as RGlass said, is irrelevant.  He will fade away.  He stumbles over himself every time he talks.... nobody is taking this guy serious except a few Texans.  Trump has a better chance in the election, not with God.

For those that already know Obama is not their man in the next election, I'm interested as to which of the candidates you think or hope will win the next election.  I am betting on Romney to become the candidate and I do think if it's him, he has a shot at the Presidency.  And I know you might laugh at me, but I think Huntsman bears watching.  That is one smart man and he seems a bit more in the center.  That being said, you don't hear as much about him as the others, so perhaps I am way off.  But that is my impression right now.  If any of the others take the nomination I would bet that Obama gets a second term.  

I'm glad to hear you think Perry is out.  The man seriously frightens me, and it's not even my country he would potentially be running (well, it would be, just not officially..lol).
