Rick Perry's New Top Aide: Children's Lives Will Be Harmed If America Has A Woman President

[TexasTowelie]

Rick Perry just hired a new Senior Director who takes a very biblical position on politics.

Rick Perry has made his conservative Christian values an integral part of his politics. Now the former Texas Governor is ramping up a likely run for the White House and forging his national political machine. Perry on Wednesday hired ordained minister Jamie Johnson to be the new Senior Director of his Political Action Committee.

Johnson, a former Iowa radio broadcaster, was also the director of outreach for Iowa Right to Life and the Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition, and was a Tea Party supporter involved in Iowa politics, as evidenced by this speech he gave in 2009.

Given Perry's strong religious background – then Governor Perry launched his 2012 presidential bid by holding a national day of prayer in a $1 million event funded by the anti-gay hate group American Family Association – perhaps it's no surprise he is comfortable with a Senior Director who used the bible to form anti-women beliefs.

In 2012, Johnson was a director in Iowa for then-candidate Rick Santorum. He sent an email stating children's lives would be harmed if the country elected a woman as president, according to the Des Moines Register in January of 2012.

1. Gee, Perry doesn't LOOK like he's 100 years old!

That what his opinions sound like. Back in 1915 I'm SURE nobody would ever have thought there would ever be a woman President! Of course they never thought there would ever be a black one either.

I'm going to have to send him a congrats note on reaching such a ripe old age!!!!!!!!!!!

Edited for spelling

2. LOL--"Given Perry's strong religious background".

I'm sure that's a fairly recent development.
