Probably because he thinks he's SC is just nutty enough to boost him. If they reject him, he'll be out.

Faith makes sense only if you keep it to yourself as a quietly breathed whisper, in the fear that if you openly count on it, you'll break the spell, that is, the comfort and hope it brings to you.
Faith trumpeted in the marketplace becomes a gimmick at best, a cudgel at worst.

I don't understrand why he's using faith, because he doesn't have a prayer of winning the nomination.

It's not about faith, tell the old people about Romney being on the board of a firm when it got fined more than a hundred million dollars for defrauding medicare, then tell the national security hawks that in 2004, while the rest of the government was working against Iranian efforts to build IEDs that killed our troops, Romney was making millions off of his Bain Capital investments in the National Iranian Oil Company. If you don't go nuclear in South Carolina, this guy is going to lead you to guaranteed failure in November. Don't let them throw you off by saying you hate success, not when he's making his money off of organizations that pride themselves on dead American servicemen.

Maybe he could light himself on fire, leap from the Statue of Liberty in an Evil Knievel suit with flags tied to his legs while fireworks explode and the band plays on.
Just saying it would be a better show.

Because you have to be somewhat sociopathic in the first place to believe that out of 300 million people, you're the one best equipped to lead.

Before this all started, Perry asked God if he should run. And according to Perry, God said yes.
But now, when it is obvious that he has no chance it is difficult to acknowledge that God really wan't talking to him and that it was all in his head.
For people whose life is centered in superstition, giving up the race would be akin to renouncing the entire foundation of his life.
That's hard to do. Especially for idiots like Perry who can't fall back on reality or into the arms of a warm cowboy.

Yes, I agree, his smug religious postering is pretty crass.

The guy could be Jesus H Christ on a field and he'd still be a douchestick. People with no interest in this guy's game look in and they don't see an amazing sportsman, they see a posturing farktard.

Having the moral high ground over (small c) christians is the best kind of smug.

He should have gone to race-baiting. That seems to be playing very well in the
SC primary.

When your God doesn't let you win, it doesn't mean that God is against you.
It just means your defeat is part of an even greater, larger plan.

Huh, you think he would have learned his lesson from the last time he asked God for help. Prayed for a little rain and God answered by setting most of his state on fire. I don't think he's very high in God's good graces, killing retarded people can do that.
