“In a new ad set to begin running in Iowa on Tuesday, Perry says, “Washington is the capital of political correctness, where doublespeak reigns and the truth is frowned upon.”

…The ad is the latest in a series of spots that Perry’s campaign has run as part of a $1 million ad campaign to reach caucus-goers. Recent ads have focused on Perry’s religious beliefs and attacked gay rights, themes aimed at the evangelical voters who typically dominate the caucus. One ad, which questioned why gay men and women are allowed to serve openly in the military, led to protests at a Perry campaign event on Sunday.”
