Perry, by the way, is totally electable.
Just came out yesterday that Rick Perry solicits male prostitutes and has a drug problem.
So yeah, he runs on Christian values while acting like Tiger Woods behind the scenes. Add Robert Morrow to the list of people that can just destroy Rick Perry's campaign.
This is still unconfirmed, and until I see someone other than the accuser and Noted Crazy Man Alex Jones talking about it in the media, I'm gonna not believe that. Besides, there's much more important reasons why people wouldn't elect Perry. The secession talk is a big one, and the whole corporate cronyism thing is a big deal too (https://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/21/us/politics/21donate.html?_r=1).
Plus, the guy is gonna alienate all but the most radical of Christians with just how into God he is. (For the uninitiated, Rick Perry just hosted a prayer service for America that found him allied with groups that believe that the United States should be a Christian nation, and also believes that creationism is and should be taught in public schools).
It feels weird to be stumping for a Republican candidate, but Jon Huntsman seems like a pretty cool dude. I dunno if I would vote for him in an election, but Obama isn't really making a great impression, and there's no way I'd vote for anyone else the GOP would put out there, because, as I said before, they're all crazy and terrible.
Also, SMuffin, if you come back in here, would you care to explain why socialism is a bad thing? Does it come down to "**** you, got mine"-style thinking, is it anti-USSR Cold War-era scare tactics, or did a Swedish person jump out of a bush and scare you as a small child? (I'd almost put money down that somewhere, the word communism pops up in his response, despite having no place in it.)
