Seriously? The Bachmann Doctrine is to let rogue states acquire nuclear weapons and then pay them off to be our friends. GREAT IDEA!

Perry doesn't want to give free aid to Pakistan, which knowingly harbors terrorists like bin Laden, and a woman who thinks vaccines cause mental retardation calls him naive. Right. Makes perfect sense to me.

She claims we receive good intelligence from Pakistan in exchange for our dollars. Perry's response, if they let him, should have been "How'd that intelligence work out for you in capturing Osama? We're definitely not getting our money's worth."

This isn't the first debate in which Bachmann has shone on foreign policy. Many here are too busy harping on vaccinations and calling her demeaning names to notice. In a race in which no candidate is perfect, the unwarranted dismissal of Bachmann has been everyone's loss.

Well said Ms. Lopez...

It was her best offering for some time, but perhaps this is because the pressure is now long removed.

Too bad, really too bad, Mrs. Bachmann did not develop within the Congress, growing some accomplishment, experience, insight, etc, before jumping. Even a run, to gain some CEO experience on the State Level in a few years, would have been a much more sound consideration.

There are many I question, as to why they are on that Stage.

Huntzmann, Bachmann, Gingrich, Paul, etc., are all curious Primary entities.

Perry is a disaster for certain, but at least he had a serious CEO record for the Presidency.
