Personally, I'm rooting for Rick Perry to announce his candidacy for President, and for the GOP to nominate him. This is for two reasons:

First, there isn't a chance in hell he'd win against Obama. He's certainly charismatic, but all his nonsense about Texas seceding from the nation and state-wide Pray-To-Jesus days, and three government-sanctioned days of prayer for rain (which was answered with even more drought) would turn any fence-sitting potential Republican into an Obama supporter for sure.

Second, those of us in Texas would finally be rid of him. We've been stuck with this clown as governor for over ten years. Before him we had Bush, Jr. We're ready for a change.

I said pretty much the same thing on my blog a little while back:

I am not atheist because I think there are any answers in atheism. I am not atheist because atheism provides me with a deeper understanding of the world. I am not atheist because I don’t like your god or anybody else’s. I am not atheist because religion has not done anything beneficial for the world that could not have otherwise been done. I am not atheist because religious people, in general, annoy me. I am not atheist because holy books tend to be riddled with falsities and contradictions. I am not atheist because religious fundamentalists are dangerous and frightening people. I am not atheist because Catholic priests have gotten away with molesting children for decades. I am not atheist because religion degrades women. I am not atheist because I feel as though a cruel, jealous, murderous, vengeful god is not worthy of worship.

I am atheist because there is no evidence whatsoever that points to the existence of a god, and I will remain so until sufficient evidence is found.
