We too were taken aback by Rick Perry’s new campaign video — the swagger, the Christian language, the denigration of gays, and America described as feminine with Perry posing as its shining defender. He was, for certain, trying to appeal to evangelical voters, and perhaps he’ll be releasing the Jewish version of the ad in…
So Rick Perry stands before a town hall meeting at the Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm’s College in New Hampshire and, on his own, with no prompting or sneaky questioning, made it clear that he thought only Americans 21 years old and over are allowed to vote. This may be one of the stupidest…
Democratic heavyweights hit back at Republicans over their debate discussion about ?zero-ing? U.S. aid to foreign countries, including Israel, during the weekend CBS News Republican debate. Smelling a chance to win back disaffected Jewish voters, former Congressman Mel Levine penned an article in Israel?s Haaretz daily blasting the idea, and Democratic National Committee chair Debbie…

After all, while Texas is a big state to govern, and he could probably see Mexico from the border, Perry doesn’t have much foreign policy experience, in the Mideast…
First there was the Sarah Palin sheitel. Now there’s the Rick Perry mezuzah. Los Angeles-based MezuzahStore.com has created a large stone mezuzah in honor of the Texas governor, a tribute that follows Perry’s June signing of a law that explicitly protects the right of state residents to post religious objects outside their doors.
