Perry: God forgives 'oops' moments, even if America does not

God forgives people for their "oops moments" even if the American electorate does not, failed Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry said Wednesday at a breakfast to celebrate the National Day of Prayer.

The governor famously muttered "oops" during a presidential debate when he couldn't remember the third federal department he'd promised to eliminate if elected.

<<snip>>

"Every one of us has ‘oops moments' every day" Perry told hundreds of faithful packed into an Austin hotel ballroom.

"America may not forgive you for it," Perry said, drawing laughter and applause. "But God will."

of Texas tax payers subsidizing his failed campaign security, millions of dollars worth.

Is that the same security that allowed a single arsonist to throw a fire bomb in the front door of Texas Governor's mansion and burn it down?
