I don't know are they? Cain and Perry are both outspoken about their faith. What are the others?
Paul = Baptist
Gingrich = Catholic
Bachmann = Evangelical Luthern
Santorum = Catholic
“What about the other Christians on the stage? Aren’t they “brothers” and “sister” too?”
I don’t know are they? Cain and Perry are both outspoken about their faith. What are the others?
It is sloppy behavior, in this day and age, for a white man of national prominence to call a black man that.
Especially when he didn’t use that term with the four white men in the same group.

my understanding is:
Newt and Santorum are both Catholic. (Newt converted)
Bachmann is Lutheran. Romney is LDS.
i don’t believe Perry is a racist. Now, if someone wishes to criticise him for not being open to Catholic “brothers-in-Christ”, go for it.
but, as far as i can tell, Cain is the one closest in faith to Perry. and if he called him brother sincerely over religion, there is NOTHING wrong with that.
...in fact, if he did so standing up to the “PC” mindspeak garbage, then i APPLAUD Perry for it !!!
(just as i have never criticised Perry for being TOO religious, but for not being religious enough, especially regarding his favoritism to Islam.
(...Islam is much more dangerous to America than Catholics.)
I believe Michele Bachmann is a Christian as well. The thing is that Perry used the word “brother” when he was disagreeing with Cain. Might it have had something to do with the context there? I can’t remember Perry debating Michele Bachmann on anything last night nor did he get in any direct conservation with Newt or Rick Santorum last night (as my memory serves me, but please correct me if I am wrong). I also think I have heard Ron Paul is a Christian but I don’t know if that is correct or not. Here again though, I don’t think Perry had any beef on the BBQ with Ron Paul last night in particular either. Now he DID duke it out with Mitt Romney, and I would suspect he is not about to call Mitt Romney his brother in Christ. He may not bring that in as a voting issue, but I don’t think he would consider a Mormon his brother in Christ still, and my bet is that Romney would not consider an evangelical Methodist his “brother” either.
