How do you know you’re lagging in the polls and running out of time in Iowa? When you start cutting ads like this, accusing President Obama of waging a “war on religion”:
What is this war on religion, anyway? Did Congress authorize it? How is it being paid for? If Rick Perry is a Christian and President Obama is at war with Christians, can Obama detain Perry indefinitely without trial?
Perry doesn’t say. Instead, he leaves us with this: “I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m a Christian. But you don’t need to be in the pew every Sunday to know that there’s something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military, but our kids can’t openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school.” (Note: Kids are still allowed to celebrate Christmas.) This comes just one day after the Texas governor blasted President Obama for supporting human rights for gay people, warning that it was “not in America’s interests.” Perry has purchased $1 million worth of air time in Iowa in a last-ditch effort to turn around his campaign; he’s looking pretty desperate at this point.
