Texas Gov. Rick Perry has thrown his massive geopolitical heft behind Rudy Giuliani for the upcoming student council elections. He did so in spite of strong, Jesusy reservations about Giuliani's eternal penchant for killing babies. He used this metaphor, however, to prove to himself that abortion isn't the only issue in the campaign: "When I go to buy a pickup truck, if it has one option on it that I'm not fond of, it doesn't mean I disregard that pickup truck." Oh, I get it! The Democrats and maybe Ron Paul would disregard that pickup truck and/or leave dead babies stuffed in the engine.
