Rick Perry doubles down on Homophobia. Apparently he is not aware that gays vote too!

Okay first off does that outfit of his look a little gay to you, or is that just me?

 But then what do I know, my favorite member of the Village People was the construction worker.

I assume Perry is desperate for support, and has decided that the best thing he can do is to corral that Christian vote which realizes that Gingrich is nothing more than an opportunist sucking up to the Religious Right in order to get their votes, sell them some books, and leer at their womenfolk. And which simply cannot bring themselves to support Romney because he stinks of Mormon.

So this ad has all of the Christian Right's favorite dog whistles. There's hatin' on the gays, lying about the fact that kids cannot pray in school or talk about Christmas, and promises about ending "Obama's war on religion." (What? Did Obama send troops into churches now? What "war" is this moron talking about?)

You know this might actually work in the short term.  I mean let's face it, Perry is too stupid to discuss policy or foreign affairs, but he knows how to say hateful things while looking purty, so essentially he is Sarah Palin with less facial hair.

However before Perry starts frothing (Santoruming?) at the mouth about the gays, he might do well to read what my friend Sarah Jones had to say about WHY certain people are homophobic:

When viewing lesbian sex and straight sex, both the homophobic and the non-homophobic men showed increased penis circumference. 

For gay male sex, however, only the homophobic men showed heightened penis arousal. Heterosexual men with the most anti-gay attitudes, when asked, reported not being sexually aroused by gay male sex videos. But, their penises reported otherwise.

Whoops! No wonder Rickie wore that big ole belt buckle while talking about homosexuals.

And by the way Rick, from one heterosexual to "another," you really do look fabulous in your little cowboy outfit. I'm Just saying.
