Rachel Tabachnick: Meet the so-called Prayer Warriors who want Rick Perry as President!

Since he announced his candidacy on Saturday, Texas Governor Rick Perry has been hailed as the great GOP hope of 2012. Perry's entry into the chaotic Republican primary race has excited the establishment in part because he has he does not have Michele Bachmann's reputation for religious zealotry, yet can likely count on the support of the "Religious Right". While it may not have been obvious to those outside the "movement", Perry was publicly "annointed" as the "apostles" candidate for president, in his massive "prayer rally" a few weeks ago, an event filled with symbolism and coded messages. This was live-streamed to churches across the nation, and on "God TV", a Jerusalem-based evangelical network. Perry's event is not the first time NAR "apostles" have "partnered" with politicians. As one of my close friends told me many years ago: "If you go to bed with fleas, you get bitten!" A partial list of those who have made national or international appearances with these "apostles" include Paul Rosenberg, Bill Berkowitz, and Paul Rosenberg - the latter being a two-time loser.
