I’m a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican, in that order, just like Mike Pence.
@cheetah222
Perry has a GR8 Point about foreign aid
papabear (Diary) Saturday, November 12th at 8:28PM EST (link)Pakistan should not get a D@#^ penny w/o significant commitments to the US.
and Bachmann had a great response to the Perry point
JSobieski (Diary) Saturday, November 12th at 8:37PM EST (link)Pakistan has nuclear weapons.
If our foreign aid helps us (1) keep tabs on those weapons or (2) makes it less likely that the weapons end up in even worse hands—the foreign aid may still make sense.
I support Perry and find Bachmann to be impractical in what she says (House members like Bachmann and Paul can sound good because their actions as legislators means little), however Bachmann has a point about Pakistan.
Nukes change everything. Even if we have only a mixed relationship with Pakistan, that relationship is better than our relationship with Iran.
I think we should be tougher to demand more for our aid. Who knows what we get on the nuclear front?
My rules of the road for primary season.
Rule #1: Vote for YOUR first choice in the primaries
Rule #2: Vote for the R in the general.
Rule #3: Don’t let anyone convince you to violate Rule #1 or Rule #2
Rule #4: When in a center-right argument, reaffirm Rules #1-#3–it will help us all to get along better.
Rule #5: If you are using the language of the left, you probably aren’t furthering conservativism
Rule #6: The priority is issues first, candidates second, and supporters third. Nobody is bigger than the issues. Conversely, if you spend your time focusing on supporters, you are wasting everyone’s time.
STOP THE MADNESS!
A reduction in the rate of spending increases is NOT a cut!
In-state tuition for illegals is NOT amnesty!
Requiring someone to pay their medical bills is NOT an individual mandate!
Reducing tax rates is NOT a tax increase!
The trouble with continuing to
paladin1 (Diary) Saturday, November 12th at 11:11PM EST (link)prop up the Pakistanis is that our aid means nothing to them. They laugh behind our backs because we continue to support the terrorist enemies of our country with our own money. For all the aid we have provided, they harbor Bin Laden for years, turn our rescue chopper over the the Chinese to steal our stealth technology, and the man on the street in Pakistan spits in our faces, burns our flag and urges our defeat and demise (sounds like the #OWS folks actually).
Governor Perry is correct in his premise that the government is divided into the civilian and the military. Both are at odds with each other and in that part of the world, the group with the guns wins. They allow some small concessions to the US just to keep us on the hook, while harboring terrorists, providing them shelter, materiel, and sustenance using our aid money to do so. The civilian government has no real control over the military nuclear weapons in practice and it is foolish for us to continue to provide money that is turned back against us for this fallacious reason. Give them nothing and let them openly go to the Chinese for their handouts. We can deal with their nuclear weapons if need be.
“I will work every day to make Washington, DC as inconsequential in your life as I can.”

And now he brings the fight back home to Texas. What a man of class! 01/19/12
I fully acknowledge that the continuum for Pakistan goes from
JSobieski (Diary) Sunday, November 13th at 7:39PM EST (link)Pakistan being almost 100% against us to be split, where they do some things that we will like and some things that we don’t.
Any aid we give to Pakistan should be calibrated to protect US security interests, and should involve lots of demands on our side. However we all need to acknowledge that the general public doesn’t know how helpful Pakistan is behind closed doors now, or were in the past.
For example, countries like Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and in the past Egypt, use to be quite helpful behind the seens even if they weren’t helpful in public view. I hope that Pakistan has been helpful in that way, but I tend to doubt it.
At best the Islamist nations can have governments that cooperate with us when they can’t be seen. That is at best, and presumes that leaders are not elected.
It is time to drop the democracy movement in the Middle East. Libya and Egypt are about to show what a mistake that is. The only country where democracy would lead to a more pro-US government is Iran, and that is because the government there is as anti-US as they can be.
In the future when US troops have left, I wonder how much aid Afghanistan and Iraq will earn if evaluated on a start-from-zero baseline?
My rules of the road for primary season.
Rule #1: Vote for YOUR first choice in the primaries
Rule #2: Vote for the R in the general.

Newt had the best answer of the first half
papabear (Diary) Saturday, November 12th at 8:53PM EST (link)There is an absolute standard. War against the US must be treated differently then criminal conduct. If someone takes up arms against the US, they should expect to be killed.
Newt is dangerous
ripusa32110 Saturday, November 12th at 9:06PM EST (link)Since the Congress never declared WAR on radical Islam or Al-Qaeda it seems to me that it is scary and yes, dangerous for a small group of people in secret to issue a death sentence against any American and be carried out without a day in court. Even if we had declared war, there still should be some level of due process in a military tribunal. Why do you trust our government so much that even decisions made in the dark of night aren’t questioned.
To me
cheetah2 (Diary) Saturday, November 12th at 9:42PM EST (link)joining our enemy against us loses you all your rights as a US citizen. It’s just got to be that way.

@cheetah222
To you, but not to the Constitution.
avgjo (Diary) Saturday, November 12th at 10:28PM EST (link)That’s why we have specific statutes to deal with aiding, abetting the enemy and treason.
It may sound or even feel good to say stuff like you did, but when you think it out, alluvasudden it ain’t so good.
For instance, who’s considered the ‘enemy’ depends on who you ask. If he could get away with it, Obama would probably send predator drones after Limbaugh, Mr. Erickson you and me. Keep setting goofy precedents like Bush and Obama, and that’s not so far fetched in a few years.

well maybe
cheetah2 (Diary) Saturday, November 12th at 10:41PM EST (link)the laws need to be clarified on this. But determining what actions would lose you your rights as a citizen should not be that hard to nail down. I don’t think even President Obama is actually going to be confusing political opponents with known terrorists here.
I’m a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican, in that order, just like Mike Pence.
@cheetah222
And that's the key, cheetah.
avgjo (Diary) Sunday, November 13th at 12:27AM EST (link)To have rule of law, we have to have clarity of law.
But I have to disagre with you about Obama. Don’t forget, his campaign started in the room of a man who, according to an undercover law enforcement agent, plotted the death of around 30 million Americans if they would not come around to socialism. An old piece of wisdom that’s becoming forgotten: tell me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are.
Ceterum autem censeo, Obamaecuram esse delendam.
It’s the morality, stupid.
you are right about Obama

RealQuiet (Diary) Saturday, November 12th at 9:03PM EST (link)I thought Perry’s first two responses to questions he was presented in the debate were very strong. He through out some simple solutions that hasn’t been even talked about at all in Washington. Newt affirmed him as well regarding starting with $0 in foreign aid to every country and have them explain why we should give them aid. Use our foreign aid dollars to negotiate from a position of strength. How novel. Then Bachmann and Santorum follow up with conveying positions of weakness saying that by cutting off aid to Pakistan we would lose the relationship with them. Epic fail and their parts. Get committments from Pakistan first of what you want and go from there.
Whoops. Got typing a little fast there.

I thought the plan was gong to be whenever the camera tuned into the moderator but everyone would’ve been drunk within the first 10 minutes ..so..there’s got to a different set of rules. Ya just hate to make up the rules for every single debate. Its getting ridiculous.

The analysis of this debate
ripusa32110 Saturday, November 12th at 9:38PM EST (link)It is more likely Ron Paul runs as a third party candidate and anyone who isn’t pro war, pro waterboarding and pro assassination of Americans will follow him. Since I expect to get the heave ho from Redstate.com in the near future, I will follow Rep. Paul and support him for president.
ripusa32110, don't go, hang in there
texasroots Saturday, November 12th at 9:41PM EST (link)I know you are frustrated. I don’t like it either.
You can follow RP all you want.
gekster (Diary) Saturday, November 12th at 9:43PM EST (link)There isn’t a problem with that.
The problem is with the RP supporters who go all out stupid.
More than once they’ve been known to do that.
They say Republicans are for the rich, Democrats are for the poor.
If they need more voters,
then they have to make more of who they are for.
We are there in the various Tea Party groups, leaderless, but not rudderless.
We steer always toward the Constitutional principles this nation was founded upon.
Erick Brockway
Ok folks, 2012 is here. Get involved
So Paul displays his idiocy yet again
Scope (Diary) Saturday, November 12th at 9:49PM EST (link)and now you call for him to run as a third party candidate. First, third parties are more than not supported here, and, secondly, Paul is widely known as a deeply disturbed loony kook.
I'm not calling for Rep. Paul to run third party
ripusa32110 Saturday, November 12th at 10:11PM EST (link)I’m just trying to get across the idea that alienating his supporters isn’t a very smart idea and tonights “debate” if you can call it one, is exhibit A. It is possible the media is trying to make Ron Paul and his supporters angry enough to walk out the door and run third party. I’m just angry and suspicious and fed up.
Yes it is. Go away. Run third party. That is where Ron Paul
Tbone (Diary) Saturday, November 12th at 10:20PM EST (link)belongs. He is not a Republican, in fact, he really isn’t even what I call an American. If you support him, you you fail both tests as well.
Envisioning when all that is Left is the Right.
Ron Paul has been a raving lunatic, do-nothing
mbecker908 (Diary) Saturday, November 12th at 10:22PM EST (link)money grubbing CongressCritter for over 20 years. He’s an Aryan Brotherhood loving, Jew hating nihilist who has a long history of NOT being a Republican and he shouldn’t be in these debates OR the Republican Caucus in the House. His thoughts on foreign policy are not just stupid but dangerous, this thoughts on monetary policy are worse.
If you are truly stupid enough to think Ron Paul has anything either right or important to say, go start a third party. You’ll only be taking the group known in political circles as “brain dead non-voters” with you, so go. And please, let the door hit you.
ripusa32110
changeforrickperry Saturday, November 12th at 10:06PM EST (link)Don’t be discouraged. My best friend is a Ron Paul supporter. She and I still have fantastic, intelligent conversations in spite of the fact that we’ve chosen different men as our candidates. She told me the other day that she’s resigned herself to the fear that Ron Paul might not get the nomination. I told her (firmly) not to think that way. She must go the whole hog or nothing for her candidate. No use in being half-hearted.
As long as we have intelligent, factual conversations, we’ll be fine. Full disclosure: I respect Ron Paul. His economic philosophies are outstanding. He loves the Constitution and is consistent to a fault. It’s foreign policy where he loses me, like tonight. Nevertheless, if, God forbid, anything happened to Rick Perry, I would go to Ron Paul. My conscience and the Constitution demand it. That’s my personal opinion, I know plenty of others have a different second choice, but don’t worry–you’re not alone in your respect for Paul.

What aspects of Ron Paul's mental illness appeal to you?
Tbone (Diary) Saturday, November 12th at 10:13PM EST (link)The guy is an ambulatory embodiment of an abnormal psychology text book. As such, I find it interesting which chapters fit his individual supporters. Care to share?
Envisioning when all that is Left is the Right.
Not sure if this is meant to be a reply to me or not
changeforrickperry Saturday, November 12th at 10:40PM EST (link)But here goes. I’ll clarify, first, why Ron Paul is not my #1 choice, though.
I am a Christian conservative Republican, in that order. As such, I believe that government’s priority should be to punish the evildoers and reward those who do good. I believe that government should protect the sanctity of human life and punish those who violate it. But I also believe that the government shouldn’t stand in the way of free enterprise and individual liberty.
However, here’s where I have a quibble with libertarianism. They take liberty and turn it into license.
“Now, some claim that there can be too much liberty or that people cannot be trusted if they have too much freedom. I do not believe that is true. The kind of liberty we construe as harmful is not really liberty but rather license. And license serves only the selfish appetite at the expense of others. Liberty is a God-given virtue; license is a destructive vice fomented by the forces of evil. If liberty were to include the freedom to harm others, then of course that would be too much of it. But within liberty’s essence is a recognition of the inherent value of other human beings.”–Rick Perry, “Fed Up!”
My problems with Ron Paul are in this area. He thinks prostitution and illegal drug use should be legal. I disagree–strongly. Although he claims to be pro-life, this also includes opposition to capital punishment. I also disagree with that. God instituted capital punishment long before Moses came down the mountain with the Ten Commandments.
I also find his foreign policy to be naive and misguided. Ronald Reagan said that “we cannot play innocents in a world that is not innocent.” I’m sorry, but the Founding Father’s couldn’t have foreseen a world with nuclear bombs and cyber warfare. And so Ron Paul’s foreign policy disturbs me.
HOWEVER, where economics is concerned, I don’t think there is a stronger defender of capitalism on that stage (save Perry). I think going back to the gold standard would be a good thing. Certainly we should at least get rid of the Federal Reserve. The national debt rivals Iran as our biggest threat, and strong action needs to be taken. And I would trust Ron Paul to do it in a Constitutional manner.
So, all that said, if something awful were to happen to Rick Perry and my choices were Romney/Paul, or Cain/Paul, I’ll take Paul in a heartbeat. I trust him to do what he says and means.
My $0.02 (adjusted for inflation). If your question wasn’t intended for me, Tbone, I apologize. I see so many misplaced replies and didn’t want to be accused of avoiding an important question

Aside from Santorum (too unrealistic/ idealistic IMHO) @& Huntsman (well &Paul, who I just don’t agree with too often), everybody did really, really well.
They got even with Newt for smacking the media. Rick Perry *was* on fire! I would vote for him to be the winner of this one.
I wish they would give them more than a minute/ min & a half. Really good debate except for the moderators.
You're welcome for the welcome!
changeforrickperry Saturday, November 12th at 9:49PM EST (link)And yes, I agree about Perry being the winner. Erick Erickson should be VERY happy. He’s been saying that Perry HAD to win this one, and boy, he sure did.
My take on the debate: Santorum showed his true colors as a huge neoconservative and Huntsman is Barney Fife 2.0. Foreign policy is not Ron Paul’s strong suit. Romney argued with the moderator too much and looked wooden compared to the upbeat, humorous Perry. Gingrich was good-natured and intelligent, as usual. Cain looked nervous. The tables were turned; he was the nervous one, Perry the confident one.
All in all, I had a great time and I am rejoicing in God’s goodness!

They say Republicans are for the rich, Democrats are for the poor.
If they need more voters,
then they have to make more of who they are for.
We are there in the various Tea Party groups, leaderless, but not rudderless.
We steer always toward the Constitutional principles this nation was founded upon.

Ok folks, 2012 is here. Get involved
Reporters also, gek. Some reporters have been

ripusa, have you gone through public school?

Don’t leave the party, hijack it back!
The only poll that counts is the one at the ballot box.

Yes
ripusa32110 Saturday, November 12th at 9:55PM EST (link)I went to public schools and I’m not sure if you were complementing me or insulting me with that question.
I went to one too, ripusa; my point (which I did not make clear)
Xasteius (Diary) Saturday, November 12th at 10:00PM EST (link)was that waterboarding is basically no worse than the immature crud they do at public schools.

I have personally known a POW of 7 years from ‘Nam (he has now passed) who was tortured beyond anything McCain ever described. Apparently you don’t know a hell of a lot or have been so indoctrinated to think they can do whatever they wish to us without fight-back from us – THINK AGAIN. Yes, I hate torture, but let me tell you what – if that is what it takes to stop one more American life from being taken or another one of ours from being tortured – well, whatever they have to do to stop the enemy is FINE WITH ME!
WRITE IT DOWN!! That is the only way you can stop them and the only thing they understand. GOT IT?
Seriously???
papabear (Diary) Saturday, November 12th at 10:18PM EST (link)Every pilot trainee who goes through POW training is subjected to “enhanced interrogation techniques”.
I know because I am talking from experience.
Although waterboarding was not one of the specific techniques I experienced, I would have preferred it to some of the ones I went through.
I have NO problem with waterboarding terrorists. Any technique that we put our own forces through for training purposes is totally acceptable!
@bear: BINGO! WHATEVER it takes, if you read

Cain big loser tonight
bzip Saturday, November 12th at 9:42PM EST (link)I thought Cain lost big time and it looks like Erick E. agrees:

It is safe to say Herman Cain is the biggest loser tonight. What a damn shame. Just wow.

I thought Santorum, Huntsman and Paul came off worse
tngal (Diary) Saturday, November 12th at 9:51PM EST (link)But that’s just just me. Oh, and CBS. Don’t know what was up with their feed and who they picked to do the moderating. Or did Obama pick the moderator? Hard to tell at some points. Cain supporters know his forte’. And since more people are focused on the economy this election …..
Newt did well. As always. Perry was awake. Nice change. This may drop Mitt down a smidge.
So how many hours until the NEXT debate? At his point i’m not using a calender,just a stopwatch.
bzip- Cain brought his many many
Scope (Diary) Saturday, November 12th at 9:56PM EST (link)words of spin. When you have nothing else to say, just spin as though you have something to say, even if your words mean nothing at all. Cain didn’t have a clue, but he tried to sound like he did.

In the beginning, God created earth to be an extension of his vast Kingdom and his LOVE was so great that he wanted to share it with man, whom he created in his own image and likeness and gave him free will.
To this very principal, the Founding Fathers of our nation decreed that freedom is a God-given in-alienable right of all the people.
Tried, but couldn't find it.
avagreen Saturday, November 12th at 9:49PM EST (link)….will continue to look. maybe it will be rebroadcast
The d. analysis went just fine…….the debate was jumpy and behind!
Rick Perry STILL! doesn’t have or need blood. He is filled with magma.
Rick Perry uses his bare hands to hunt.
Countdown Until Obama Leaves Office.
ugghhhhh..... couldnt get the links to work

Lucas Black Saturday, November 12th at 9:45PM EST (link)This was a waste of a debate. Why did CBS want to have it if they were going to cut if off before it was done? No game changers other than Cain continues to show that he’s not ready to be president. Perry cleared his low bar, but has to do way more than that to come back. Newt won and Romney keeps going on cruise control.
Nay, Perry won. :)

bzip Saturday, November 12th at 9:55PM EST (link)Yep, Perry a clear winner tonight. He came off really good.
He changed the direction of the entire conversation with the “starting at zero” line. Even Newt and Romney like it.
Perry was tops.

sandollar Saturday, November 12th at 10:08PM EST (link)Perry, Newt, Mitt (eww) & Bachmann were very focused- almost working like a team. Mr Cain didn’t do horribly, but could have been a little stronger at times.
I’m a big Gingrich supporter, but I am delighted to see Perry (my governor) really showing who he is. I didn’t know much about his positions re foreign policy & I am very impressed! (if you aren’t a Texan & not used to him/ Texans, this is the guy we know & love)

Team Perry is feeling good tonight...
iidvbii Sunday, November 13th at 1:28AM EST (link)Tonight, Rick Perry gave a command performance, clearly articulating a strategy for a stronger America and a safer world. Rick Perry is the candidate that will make sure America projects its strength and stands with its allies again. The current president’s foreign policy is muddled and incoherent while dangerous regimes like Iran attempt to develop nuclear weapons.
We need a commander-in-chief who is decisive in a dangerous world, and who rallies the forces of freedom to address common threats. Rick Perry showed at the GOP presidential foreign policy debate that he has the poise and principles needed to ensure a strong America in uncertain times.
Gov. Perry will stand with our allies again. Will you stand with Rick Perry by sharing the most defining debate moments on RickPerry.org through facebook, twitter, and email?
It’s time for a president who will project American values and protect American interests. Gov. Perry knows we need to be secure while we rebuild our economic strength. As governor of Texas, he has done more to secure the Southern Border than any president or governor, and he has a plan to completely secure the full border during his first year in office. As a veteran, he also has a deep commitment to a maintaining a strong military, especially during these difficult times.
We cannot remain leader of the Free World unless we elect a leader willing to make the tough decisions that preserve freedom and critical alliances.
Watch a few of the debate excerpts, and get your family and friends involved by sharing from RickPerry.org.
In the final analysis will our children praise or curse our actions this day?
