Perry’s shown himself in Texas to be a guy who’ll do anything to make money and win elections. I think Perry’s a Christian of convenience, like most politicians, and would abandon it in a heartbeat to fulfill his ambitions. That’s what I was trying to point out in the cartoon. Here’s a link to the Matt Taibbi piece on Perry, if you haven’t had a chance to read it yet:

Thanks RS,

My idea of funny would have Jesus ask Perry, “Now what exactly about “Thou Shall Not Kill” didn’t you understand?”. It works with Newt & “Thou Shall Not Covet” with Jesus holding Newt’s $600,000 Tiffany’s bill.

Now I’ve heard about the “is Mormonism a Cult?” issue. (ans. depends on definition of cult) I’ve heard the “Is Romney a Christian?” issue. (ans. depends on definition of Christian). I’ve not heard anyone seriously challenge Perry’s devotion to his brand of Christianity & so your later cartoon with him seeking out help from the Ancient Greek gods confuses me.

db, the fourth panel was just for laughs (at least I got a laugh out of it), and to show Romney really isn’t a Christian, Mormon or whatever he claims to be. But I should have had Romney shout ‘Yes!’ to the outrageous stuff in the fourth panel. I realized later that probably would have been funnier.

Harsh RS. But I’m not sure I get the point. The 4th panel is so radically different than the first three, that I’m not sure where you are going with it.
