Rick Perry PAC Staffer: Does God Really Want a Female President?

[DonViejo]

A recently hired adviser to former Texas Gov. Rick Perry's (R-TX) campaign-in-waiting made waves in the 2012 presidential race when he suggested it isn't God's will to have a female president.

On Wednesday, Perry's political action committee, RickPAC, announced that Jamie Johnson had joined as senior director. According to The Des Moines Register, Johnson will be working for RickPAC in Iowa and other early Republican primary states.

Johnson, an ordained minister, is a former radio broadcaster who previously served as the director of outreach for Iowa Right to Life and the Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition.

In 2012, he served as Iowa coalitions director for former Sen. Rick Santorum's (R-PA) presidential campaign. During that campaign cycle, The Des Moines Register reported an email Johnson sent to a friend in which he said that children's lives would be in danger if the country elected a female president.

"The question then comes, 'Is it God's highest desire, that is, his biblically expressed will,…to have a woman rule the institutions of the family, the church, and the state?" Johnson wrote in the email.

9. To say nothing of his apparently limitless interest in sporting events at all levels . . .

Pop Warner, middle school, high school, collegiate, pro, doesn't really matter.

Apparently He's got time for everything from horseracing to lacrosse to track and field to rugby, and every other sport you can think of.

I mean, seriously, doesn't He have enough to do already?
