Meet The Candidates: 2012 GOP Thread

[Chico23231]

Ive seen bits and pieces of previous debates, but sat down and really watched the foreign policy debate because I think foreign policy shows who really knows their sh*t when it comes to being president. Couple things stood out, first, Newt Dogg did much better than I anticipated. I agree with his position on illegal immigration which wasnt popular with the crowd or other candidates. Mitt Romney is a smart guy, you can really see improvement from his previous run. He doesnt bring a whole lotta original ideas but hits every key point popular within the party.

Herman Cain and Rick Perry are lost, outta touch foreign policy-wise and its not close. I think Rick Perry could be retarded, something is wrong with him, he doesnt look genuine in any response. He gets off on making outlandish statements which play to GOP, Tea party nuts, but ideological are ridiculous and shows a lack of knowledge. Cain seemed to be bullsh*ting almost every answer and when that wouldnt work he would simply say "I would ask the experts" or something to that affect. Dude your suppose to be the expert.

Ron Paul is good for the field, will make solid points which keep the others honest, but of course sounds crazy with other points (ie "let Israel take care of themselves, they have nukes", did Paul just advocate using nukes in the mid east?)

Bachmann and Huntsman should probably get out, they bring little. Santorem was better than expected.
