Ames, Iowa Republican Presidential Debate

[GH2001]

I'm afraid I have to take a hard line on Dookies...even in politics.

But, at least Rep. Brooks is not a Moonbat like Rep. Ron Paul.

I still can't believe the support he has after that monumentally stupid foreign policy comment that he made about Iran during the debate!  His supporters must be drunk...or stoned.

Agree on Iran, but thats part of the quandary we've put ourselves in. He has a point when he brings up the Soviets or the Chinese. Several 'rogue' countries have a bomb. Who decides who can have one? No, I do not want Iran having a bomb, but we kind of set a double standard when we allowed China and Russia to have one also. Iran will always use that as an out. As long as we have some nice technology sitting on every inch of our national borders, no one is gonna touch us with one anyway. IMHO, the Chinese are far more likely - than anyone else on the planet - to successfully hit the US with a nuclear bomb.

Oh she's got both of them.  Don't you worry about that.

And with that you just broke 's heart.

B/c there is still one to fondle in your hand?

[Vandy Vol]

B/c there is still one to fondle in your hand?

No...because there's still one to hit me in the chin.

[AUTiger1]

No...because there's still one to hit me in the chin.

My bad.

[GH2001]

They're one in the same now really.

Point being, I think either of those countries has more ability to successfully launch the bomb than the camel jockeys.

GH, I do take the point of this argument well and, under normal geo-political circumstances, it is logical however with the moonbat mullahs of Iran it must be understood that they are not guided by a sense of self-defense, as most national entities are (even the Russians and the Chinese), but by a 'higher' authority which we would recognize as religious fanaticism.  This makes them extremely dangerous.  Even more-so than the insane, arrogant, little tyrant that runs North Korea.

[AUTiger1]

Paul said something about "we talked to the Russians, we didn't alienate them.", and while true, it's a totally different scenario.  The Russians cared about living.  The mullahs don't, they die, well they die a martyr.  The Russians knew that we both had the capability to destroy one another.  The mullahs, realize we could destroy them, but once again, they don't care.  Not one bit.   We can't talk to them the same as we did the Russians.   One wanted to rule the world, the other wants to do the will of Allah.
