Yes, my take indeed is that perry is by far the least sharp knife in the drawer.

More like safety scissors.

That pledge and song were in one class, a *Spanish* class. The students were learning a language.

In high school, my husband was in French class. They learned “La Marseillaise.”

What do we know about your post? That it contains no sources, no substance, no relevance.

When I read your post what came to my mind is, Sarah should have run.

Great comments! Cain did a good job! I prayed for Him and God answered!

Watch Mr. Cain and Governor Romney. They also listen to and pay attention to the candidate who is speaking. This is good debate technique.

They would help their cause if they found articles from legitimate sources to support their side of things. They could post it, ping their list and discuss away. They don’t do that though. They take over any thread about Perry and spam it with the same cut and paste crap every day. That is spam. The OP or any other reader has a right to call it what it is. They are disrespectful to the readers, the OP and the site.

Since you brought up the “wasting bandwidth” issue, the big issue is that spammers do more damage to the site than someone who is posting news articles on a specific subject. Just something to think about. Times have changed, people do have other options today unlike the earlier election cycles if you are really concerned about the state of the site.

The Supreme Court of Texas affirmed that if an adult signs a contract, he or she is bound by that contract.

Do you believe that a party to a divorce should get out of the contract when he or she doesn’t like the outcome? Do you believe that - like the plaintiff who wanted to throw away her contract - that “all” doesn’t mean “all?”

I want to know why the moderator gave Perry a pass on this.

Scott Pelley: Governor Huntsman-- as we sit here, there is a crisis in Europe over debt, particularly in Italy and in Greece. And there is the threat of contagion onto Wall Street and U.S. banks. How do you prevent the Euro crisis from becoming a problem in the United States?

Scott Pelley: --is time. Thank you very much. We just have time for a quick follow-up on-- on that same question. Let me come to Governor Perry. How do you prevent the European crisis from become a problem on Wall Street?

Rick Perry: Well, the French and the Germans have the economic wherewithal to deal with this. They have the economy.

Seriously? As recent as Feb. 2011 France had an unemployment level of 9.6%. How is their economy going to prevent a problem on Wall Street?

Thanks for that post by the way. People would mention it in passing so its nice to see the whole thing.

What did your last post have to do with my point that calling anyone out for spam when that specific person is the calling card for the long pre-perpared posts with graphics and several links of one sided opinions to justify her point of view that are posted over and over again is not just a bit hypocritical? Some time ago posted that Edward Bernays would be proud of the same reptition. As to your point of legitimate, who defines legitimate?

Don’t get me wrong, CW has the right to do so, and does with regularity, but to impugn someone as a spammer for doing precisely what she has a long history of for her candidate is just not right. I admit her passion is remarkable but sometimes passion can also lead to a refusal to be open minded as well. What is good for the goose is good for the gander and like it or not, that is my opinion. That is all, just an opinion.

BTW, when did I bring up the bandwidth issue? This site is doesn’t even show up in that regard as far the the WWW is concerned.

After one of the debates he said that Newt was growing on him.

The military does not determine what is torture. Lawmakers for the various nations and courts do.

I do believe there are several fundamental differences though, between Obama and Cain. Even though neither had foreign policy experience before becoming President:

1. Cain loves this country; Obama hates it.

2. Cain believes in America's greatness above all other nations; Obama believes America is but one of several average countries.

3. Cain is a Leader; Obama is a Reader.

4. Cain is humble enough to know he doesn't know everything, and he is willing to learn - he has met with Kissinger, Bush 41, etc.; Obama’s ego is so huge he doesn't need to learn anything new or take anyone’s advice.

5. Cain is a Christian; Obama is either a Muslim or a Marxist or a Black Panther, or who knows what (has he chosen a church in D.C. yet????).

6. Cain doesn't have foreign policy experience before becoming President, but he WOULD have it after he becomes President; Obama didn't have foreign policy experience before becoming President, and he STILL doesn't have foreign policy experience.

So yes, Cain is weak on foreign policy. But I would rather have a Leader who shares my values in the White House, than a Community Organizer who hates me and my country, occupying the White House. (No wonder it's called Occupy Wall Street... since we have someone Occupying the White House.)

Perry seemed to have good answers but they weren’t to the questions asked. After the second time he did this it seemed like he was using the debate to get his sound bites in more than his position on foreign affairs.

Exactly. My spouse pointed out the same thing.

Cain said a few weeks back that we need to stop giving foreign aid to our enemies.

That post was a conglomeration of over the top untruths. I answered the “Sharia Law” in # 149.

How is this a "huh?" moment? What he said was perfectly clear, but I guess Kevin Hall failed most of his classes which is why he's a journalist.

Exactly. Cain can be against torture and allow our military do what it needs to do. The waterboarding is a good example. Some call it torture and Cain explained that he considers it a enhanced interrogation technique. There is no reason why our troops should be held to a different standard than their enemies. How can they fight to win with their hands tied behind their backs.

Was there a reason the students couldn’t have learned the pledge of allegiance to the United States of America in SPANISH?

A song is different than a pledge of allegiance, but I would hope that you knew that.
