American foreign policy: Send troops and weapons to our allies, rain bombs on our enemies or otherwise threaten to, no one is neutral, you are either with us or against us, grunt, grunt.

Enemies= those who have oil but won't let us send our companies in to tap it.

Allies=the enemy of our enemy

This applies slightly more to Republicans than Democrats, slightly.

Class dismissed.

"Republicans turn to foreign policy in debate"

lol" Obama blows all of them out of the water in foreign policy.

Amazing, foreign policy used to be a strong GOP talking point, but since Obama took over and took out bad guy after bad guy, the GOP has completely surrendered foreign policy.

This debate will no doubt show what a bunch of total no hopers the GOP has become.

BTW, I’m curious as to what former pizza chain CEO Herman Cain’s view on fighting terrorists is…

Being a conservative means standing aside as the GOP works hard to strengthen America’s enemies by taking out those enemies’ worst enemies (Iran, Iraq) on the U.S. taxpayers’ dime, weakening America by engaging in massively expensive conflicts without paying for them, and then being too ill-informed to understand why doing the above is so damaging..

Surrender, it’s the conservative way.

Q: Do any of these GOP candidates actually have passports? Have any travelled outside America?

I'm asking, because when I read about their foreign policy ideas and proposals, I get a very clear idea that they have been getting their view of the outside world from Hollywood movies.

No need to be flippant.

Do the search. Romney lived in France for a couple years, is fluent in the language. Obama, supposedly graduated from Columbia University but admitted on the campaign trail that he cannot speak a foreign language. Gingrich is widely traveled. Maybe you should look into why he went to Poland and what he saw.

Foreign policy:

Romney, Gingrich: Attack Iran.

Cain, Paul: Don't attack Iran.

The majority opinion of war weary and financially exhausted Americans: Don't attack Iran.

If Paul can't win the nomination, the responsible choice out of the three front runners is Cain.

Predicts Romney:

Iran will have a nuclear weapon if Obama is reelected. If we elect Mitt Romney, if you'd like me as the next president, they will not.

My goodness, Mitt, that is some precognition! Let's be more specific: Elect Mitt, start another war! - and one that will make Iraq look like the cakewalk that was promised!

Perry later of waterboarding:

I will be for it until I die.

This means, I assume, that he also sanctions it as an interrogation method against US troops.

Cain expounds on the Arab Spring:

You have to look at Libya, Egypt, Yemen and all of the revolutions that are going on and how the administration has mishandled them. As a result, this has gotten totally out of hand.

"Out of hand" this freedom is! That we would allow these Arabs to roam off the American plantation is intolerable! And:

This president has already said that the president of Yemen should go. He is our friend. He has been helping us fight Al Qaeda. This president has been on the wrong side in nearly every situation in the Arab world.

Yes! Ignore the Arab street and stand behind our "friends"! Aside from al Qaeda, what should these Arab people be concerned about, after all?

Jokes aside - have the GOP/TP found themselves a serious candidate yet?

Besides Jon Huntsman, all the rest are circus acts.

These GOP debates - I'm sure they're being sponsored by President Obama and the DNC.....
