Exactly!!!

There is a difference between not being "an expert on every segment of being President" and not having a defined set of principles from which to pursue one's foreign policy goals.

Cain fails, because he hasn't got a clue on foreign affairs. He boasted as to how he was eager and ready for this debate and his sole achievement was to appear totally befuddled.

Herman Cain--not ready for prime time.

Maybe Liz is short for lizard, a creepy crawly critter.

[editor-surveyor]

You need to learn how to read.

Christians do not praise, nor embrace pluralism.

Perry’s words are his words. He condemned himself.

[seekthetruth]

Thanks for your reply! Pinging some more Freepers for their opinions.

[I Drive Too Fast]

He didn’t have to call, but he did. It WAS a very nice thing to do.

[Navy Patriot]

I'm gonna fully support Perry in this one.

First it's ludicrous to believe that a normal person or even an extraordinary one has every word necessary on the tip of his tongue in an open question format. I often take a few seconds to retrieve the proper word in speaking about a subject the I have a premeditated firm fixed position on.

Secondly the important point is that the Federal Government must be made smaller and less intrusive, and that means more than just three departments must be reduced, so it's a large area of thought requiring a reasonably lengthy answer not favorable to sound bite timing.

Finally, Perry is doing his own thinking on this and in that way is like Reagan who was almost entirely responsible for his own conservative thinking and policy, he borrowed very little.

[Carry_Okie]

Reminiscent of Reagan? Yeah, right.

[lonestar]

My friggin point is

Whatever!!!

You know Perry could hold his own debating Obama because Perry has had more direct involvement with him than any other of the candidates!

THAT is my friggin point!

I enjoy reading information and opinions of Texas Freepers who know Governor Perry and what he has accomplished in their state.

There are sure to be some Texas Freepers who do not care for Governor Perry, but I hope they would explain why they dislike him, and what he did that was upsetting to them. It is knowing the truth that is important. Disagreeing on some issues is to be expected, but I have heard mostly praise of Governor Perry from most Tesas Freepers.

[seekthetruth]

How about we encourage Freepers we converse with that we vet the candidates in the Republican primary race with the facts. We all are not going to agree with every candidate on everything, but we can concentrate on the most important issues and look at each candidate's record. As we all know it is what they have done and accomplished we need to know about.

BTW, I thought I heard there was to be a debate tonight. Or perhaps I got the wrong night. If anyone knows about a debate being this evening, please let me know. Have been busy today and kind of out of the loop on the news. Thanks!

Pinging to post # 61.

[seekthetruth]

Liz, Are you from Texas? I would like to know why you are saying Governor Perry has “sucked up to Islam & Mexico”. Please explain if you know Governor Perry’s record in Texas.

I am just a Floridian who works supporting real conservative candidates here in Florida. We will make sure Dizzy Debbie is reduced to one job...Head of DNC, but no longer in the US House come January 2012! We have a few more to get out of Congress too, including Senator Nelson!

Another ping here to post #61

[grey_whiskers]

Reset the sensitivity on your bad pun meter.

Think affairs as in JFK and Marilyn Monroe, or Bill Clinton and half the US female population under the age of 60 in Arkansas and D.C.

Cheers!

I am now recalibrating.....

[Ravenstar]

Pro dream act, Oh yeah, and I am heartless too! Sorry, he hasn’t answered that and the CONFLICT OF INTEREST for the Guardisil EXECUTIVE ORDER. Note I am not saying money I am saying CONFLICT OF INTEREST because it would be a gain for his former chief of staff! Improper use of Executive power. Don’t want that in the Commander in Chief.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[seekthetruth]

Now, that is the Rick Perry that I know and love. I don’t know why so many people, including some on FR, are so set on crucifying him and saying things about him that are totally not true. He will make a great president.

I have heard Governor Perry's comments concerning the Guardisil executive order, and believe him when he said he should have gone through the legislature.

I hope the Freepers who are totally against Perry will explain why with details, and I hope Texas Freepers who know first hand what Perry has done will provide more information. I want to deal with facts, records, and do want to know more about Governor Perry.

As far as I am concerned, National Security/Defense and Energy Independence are the most important issues. As far as I can see, Governor Perry would put his attention on those issues first.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST for the Guardisil EXECUTIVE ORDER

[seekthetruth]

Meant to add, can you comment on the “conflict of interest for the Guardisil Executive order”.
