A President of Honor -- “You can’t tell me that America is not exceptional...because I've seen it." --- [6:45] Medal recipients tell of their sacrifice and the sacrifice of their fellow heroes -- and why they support Rick Perry.

Interesting, isn't it, how (without breaking a sweat) Gov. Rick Perry can expose Mitt Romney's weaknesses.

Romney: "I'll bet you $10,000.

That's -- I'm running for office, for Pete's sake, I can't have illegals.

With Juan McCain not in this election cycle, Republicans can at least do a facsimile of the 11th commandment again.

I give Perry credit for not taking the bait to attack Gingrich’s comment on Palestinians. That was the purpose of the question and Perry turned it into an attack on Obama.

Great job, Rick!

If you had done this from the beginning, you would be in Gingrich’s position in the polls.

Shame on Romney and Santorum for attacking Gingrich’s position.

This guy is the real deal.

While I have not watched the debates, every time I’ve seen a clip Newt was the only one who wouldn’t fall for attacking another GOP candidate’s record but stayed on message attacking the Democrats. It’s no wonder that he has surged in the polls. Perry’s response is exactly what the Republicans should have been doing all along, attacking Obama’s record rather than attacking each other and calling out the MSM for trying to bait him. It obvious that is what the Republicans want just based on the applauses.

I wish I could have seen it last night! I heard he was wonderful. Of course you won’t hear that on that out of touch network FOX, they don’t even know he was on the stage, but then they’re blinded by their bias.

Newt wins debate and solidifies front runner status. Romney loses big time, he could be history. Perry, if nothing else, finds some redemption but doubtful he can overcome Newt. Maybe a VP candidate.

Santorum fails miserably on Israel, too bad. He could have risen to the challenge. Bachmann steady, and Paul continues to be both absurd and a joke. Just callin it as I see it.

Gov. Perry MUST follow this up with an ad, proclaiming Obama’s incompetence putting the nation at risk.

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.
