Well, thank goodness I just watched the entire debate so I am able to refute your wife’s assumption that Rick Perry cannot talk.

Rick Perry talks fine and when he does he actually says something.

That seems to be the argument of last resort. If you don’t like Rick Perry say he don’t talk good.

Normy that is a great idea to have Perry discuss his $10,000 bachelors degree plan versus Romney’s vision of using $10,000 for a wager.

Romney doesn't know how to fight. When he gets into it like he did with Perry I see his maturity as a 14 yr old. It is almost as if next he'll stomp his feet.

That's what it looks like.

Perry looked pretty cool during that exchange. He was very good natured and funny. Mitt was sweating and nervous. The funny thing is Mitt doesn't need to go there but he can't help himself.

Can you believe Romney's team thought "oh when Perry brings up your mandate in the book, bet him 10 grand and when he doesn't take the bet he will look like a fool."

How stupid would the Republican party looked if Perry has shook his hand and said "ok I'll bet you".

Good Lord that would be all over the news "GOP rich kids make high stakes wager"

The amount of the wager revealed a little sumpin’ about Romney.

I wish Rick Perry would have said five bucks is about all we bet in my family, but I thought he handled it very well.

Regardless of who people think won that debate (I think Perry), the loser was definitely Mitt. I expect the polls to reflect that next week.

That would be nice because I’m starting to warm up to Perry.

But for some reason he’s just not getting any traction here in Iowa.

Newt doesn’t have an easy time when he’s gone after either. You could hear him hit his podium. It’s as if no one is to question his lies.

I have said from the beginning that Iran figured a way to jam the drones signals from the US. I still believe that, and it’s a bad situation.

What you are saying is that US military satellites have been compromised. If what you allege is true, the entire military, including all of our aircraft, ground troops and navigational weapons (smart artillery, JDAM, etc.) can now be controlled by the enemy. Also, this would include any secure communications too.

I vote for "inside job" in the same way that Clinton orchestrated the give-away of missile guidance technology through Loral to China.

As a conspiratorialist caller to Rush's show claimed - if this was stealth technology, how did Iran even know where it was unless they were told where to look and when?

It wasn't destroyed or recovered because our government, including our military wanted it to be found by the enemy.

That thought ought to gravely concern you.

Perry was wonderful last night; it was fantastic to read the live debate thread and see people choosing him and Newt as a tie for the winner, or in quite a few cases, giving it to Perry. I’m tired of hearing people say “Yeah, Rick is great, but his numbers are low, and Newt keeps gaining.” Hello-—there’s a reason for that! If folks will wake up and get behind Perry, there will be no stopping him. He’s experienced in leadership, a true Constitutional conservative, and he loves the Lord. No contest, if you ask me.

Perry is scheduled to be on this morning’s Fox News Sunday. I expect Chris Wallace will have the GOP establishment long knives out and sharpened.

Yep! I think they're actually more afraid of Perry than any of the others.

Purely from the Democrat way of thinking, Bachman or Santorum might have trouble with independents once the left gets done painting the Tea Party as rogue Nazis. And Newt is weighed down with an exorbitant amount of luggage.

Harder to turn off the masses with Perry.

Perry is steady.

This is what we need in a Chief Executive of our country.

My wife, who isn't paying a lot of attention to the primary process, hollered from the other room, “That guy can't even TALK”. Rick Perry was who was speaking. We don't need another embarrassing BUBBA. Been there done that.

Think he's bad now? She should have heard him before he began taking the "English as a Second Language" class.

The bar has been lowered so far for Rick Perry that it is lying on the floor.

Yeah he did a lot of huffing and puffing. I also caught him say he was a Reaganite when Mitt mentioned how he wasn't a bomb thrower. Newt said "I'm a Reaganite" yet Newt himself proclaimed the era of Reagan to be over.

Reagan=Conservatism as a winning strategy to most conservative Republicans.

This doesn't sound like Reagan in least. Newt Tried to Install Internal Passports on Us in 1998

Bob Barr and others like Paul had their hands full with Newt.

He can claim he has changed all he wants. but he has not shown me anything to prove he has. He is rehashing the same ole stale ideas he tried to shove down our throats before. No thank You. The Tea Party better wake up. Newt is AGAINST everything I THOUGHT the Tea Party stood for.
