Yours is a TERRIFIC post!
It’s my experience that he is great in any forum. He’s a little hard to “get” in the debates, but his foibles are humanizing to me.
He’s him; he ain’t somebody else.
And I’m with you; he’ll be the last one in the fight.
He’s never been a quitter and he’s been down a LOT more than this before.
Hard as it is to understand, he’s used to it and it doesn’t sway him.
“Move the embassy? Yeah. Right. Like Dubya promised. - rolls eyes - This is nothing more than a bloody shirt that’s trotted out at election time and then conveniently forgotten.”
The full transcript of the Perry interview is supposed to be posted on CNN later. You can then get the full context of the question and answer. There are bits and pieces of the Perry interview , video/transcript there now but not dealing with the Israeli capital.
Hang in there, Rick!
Thank you.

Perry also expressed support for allowing Jewish settlements to be constructed on the West Bank, a practice Obama has asked the Israeli government to cease. And Perry said that the entire city of Jerusalem should be part of Israel, a move that would make key religious and historical sites part of the Jewish state. Israel captured East Jerusalem from Jordan in 1967.
Perry even suggested he would move American diplomatic personnel out of Tel Aviv and instead recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. “As the president of the United States, if you want to work for the State Department, you will be working in Jerusalem,” he said.

Perry’s always expressed his support of Israel - he doesn’t have to steal Newt’s ideas. Why is it that there are some here who can never give Perry any credit - they always have to smear him? I think they are letting the media pick their candidate.
Could you give a bit more detail about what Perry said regarding 0bama’s war on religion? If you can, thanks.
