Well, I’ve read through the 21 postings on this thread and I have to say that most of the comments show a complete misunderstanding of Perry’s mention of Tebow.
He was posing an analogy, not saying he wanted to be like Tebow or expousing anything regarding religion.
He alluded to how Tebow was not considered to have the right mechanics for passing the football, vs. himself, who has been considered to not have debate skills.
He alluded to how Tebow was successful in winning championships in college, vs. himself, who has been very successful as Governor of Texas.
He alluded to Tebow being able to show success at the next higher level of his chosen career, the NFL, vs. himself, who would like to show he can be successful as POTUS.
ooops!
“expousing” = espousing
