Suggesting that voters who've turned against the Texas governor are religious bigots isn't likely to win them back.

As Cain so eloquently put it : The only problem with that analysis is, it's wrong. These voters that she is referring to were not going to vote for Perry to begin with so there is no "winning them back" to be done.

I saw the video, and she did not suggest that. What nonsense!

” ...were not going to vote for Perry to begin with so there is no “winning them back” to be done. “
///
exactly correct.
(if the hard working Perry supporters have access,
they really should explain this to Perry...)

just as most Mormons will vote for Romney, not Perry.
so, his failing to admit Mormons aren’t Christian, won’t gain him any Mormon votes, but WILL lose him evangelical votes. ...poor tactics, and dishonest also.

Perry doesn’t seem to understand who his base was.
(which is why they are leaving him in droves now...)

and if you actually read the comments at ABC, you will see that many many Christians are the ones criticising Perry,
not non-Christians:

The Coptics in Egypt are “brutalized”...Perry not so much. I’ve never liked it when politicians play the sympathy card. “Brutalized”! Gimme a break.

He has not been brutalized..brutalized is when someone beats, tortures and kills ..
he has been criticized for what he calls his Christian beliefs.. maybe even sneered at... quite a difference

Truth Be Told about an hour ago
If Obama can be criticized by the the religious company he kept why can’t we scrutinize Perry’s? Cain slammed Muslims and he could be criticized. Why should Perry get a pass on this?

SeaGal about an hour ago
Cain slammed Muslims? I missed that...Cain is my man!!!! Someone should say something pretty darn soon. Muslims are flooding our government. While this might not mean much to you folks out there...is it wisdom to allow them footholds in our laws? Is it wisdom to allow them to surge in when they...

the last comments should give good advice to Perry.
They show, that if Perry was MORE evangelical, he’d lose a few “moderate” votes, but would net, GAIN votes.

If he’d act like a strong Texan, who proudly carries a Bible and a gun, he’d gain votes.

...but Perry agreeing with his wife, that he’s “brutalized” because of his religion?
...that’s just pathetic.

ESPECIALLY when evangelical Perry is silent,
about the Christians around the world,
who ARE being brutalized, persecuted, raped, and killed,
for their belief in Jesus.

Actually she is correct about the brutal smears and trash by media, Bachmann, Santorum, Cain, Paul and their supporters. Some of the vicious lies and smears on Free Republic have been beyond the pale.
