Yeah. I wasn’t too pleased with that either. BUT they are a very strong Christian family. It dictates what they say and how they act. I’m pretty sure she was being sincere in her belief.

She may have been sincere, but she was incredibly out of touch with reality and had no reason to be stressed. If she believes Perry was being attacked for his faith and not for his record or beliefs or the groups he's addressed or supported, then she needs to go spend a few weeks in a private spa somewhere. Perry would be, at most, a distant fourth behind Romney, Huntsman, and Bachmann when it comes to attacks on candidates based on faith. For her to accuse Republicans of bashing him over religion is just plain crazy. People criticized him because he didn't give much money, but it was nowhere near the amount of criticism over the things he says and believes that have nothing to do with religion.

It's bad enough that she's been telling people that she was the one who pushed Rick into running, but criticizing Republicans for bashing him over religion...

“she may have been sincere, but....”

I get it. I understand what you’re saying. As I’ve said....I didn’t like it and my shoulders sank as I listened to her. I admire anyone who can claim a belief or faith like that. Sometimes I feel inadequate because of it.
With Perry, he’s been a good governor and I like him. I’ve never been in his presence so it’s not charisma or anything like that. I’ve never been tuned into Mrs Perry except to know she’s a good person. No one agrees with everything their elected official does. My favorite is John Cornyn. No one is more conservative and he’s infuriated me in the past. He supports Perry. He doesn’t have to. For what it’s worth, I agree with what you said for the most part. I also believe comparing Perry to Cain or Cain to Perry based on challenges faced is off the wall. I wanted all of this to play out with dignity. Thanks.
