and if rick perry wasn t just a balloon, if they had blown him up to the size he looked great. rick perry is a governor, he looks great, like a texan, great hair, all you need in politics. he had a record of unemployment going down in texas, creating jobs. he talked right. the minute he got on stage, he stumbled. and he s protestant i should say. it s more complex than that. let s think about mike huckabee. we had mike huckabee. if there ever were a ready-made evangelical candidate but he had no money. right. he had an electability problem. and he did an awesome job with the two cents he had. can i ask you a really good question? i m very much for religious tolerance and i don t like this conversation. i had to do it. it s my job. did jack kennedy being catholic have anything to do with what he did? did richard nixon being a quaker have anything to do with being president? does religion guide, your particular affiliation, you
huckabee. we had mike huckabee, if there were an evangelical candidate? he had no money. he had no money. and he did an awesome job with the two cents he had. i want to ask a question. i don t like this conversation, but i have to do it. did jack kennedy being catholic once he was president have anything to do with it? does religion at all in a general term guide you in any way to your policies? when we look at the research, we find partisanship matters more than religious affiliation. but it s a different day than kennedy s day. he ran on putting his falsism aside in a way but rick
santorum the religion of quakerism never came up. rick santorum says he hears kennedy s speech on religion and makes me want to vomit. s that different crew. he has a different view of religion in public life. kennedy s speech was a masterpiece. because it basically said i believe in. the only question we should ask of a question is what kind of america doรง you believe in? if the guy is a religious fanatic, and that s all he talks about, then talk about that. but if he talks about the issues we care about, i think we should judge him on that. thank you dr. jones, and melinda hanenburg. up next, oops. rick perry has done it again.
