Crowley Political Report

The odds of Texas Gov. Rick Perry making it to the Florida presidential primary seem long but it's clear he is willing to bash gays if that will help him get the Sunshine State.

In this ad, Perry criticizes gays in the military, says Christains aren't being allowed to celebrate Christmas and that President Obama is conducting a war on religion.

Perry says, "there is something wrong when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas?"

Huh?

The best thing about the ad is that Perry manages to complete a sentence with losing his way. Of course, we don't know how many takes it required.

The ad is appearing in Iowa in what is clearly Perry's desperate attempt to appeal to the worst in Iowa's GOP voters.

If he makes it to Florida, we suspect some GOP voters here will be unhappy with this ad. Take a look:
