Rick Perry... a little too scary

Unfortunately, I was unable to find and read Prothero's writing. I did however love the Washington Post's article on Rick Perry... mostly focusing on the very last line: "Faith and reason are not mutually exclusive, but Perry makes you think they are." It seems so brainwashy to me that one man and his platform can convince 29% of Republicans that two things that dont go together, do. I can see the skepticism in voting for Mitt Romney, being Morman and all. The assumption is based on associations: polygamy, debatable divine intervention stories, and just the fact it has other beliefs from Evangelical Christianity. He, however, has made it clear that politics and religion are very VERY different things (http://www.thebostonchannel.com/r/14789305/detail.html). Rick Perry is feeding into the likes of a Republican majority who want three things: jobs, God, and more jobs. Great political tactic but at the same time, completely frightening to all those that don't fall into the 29%.
