For once I agree. The rightys freak out over "same sex marriage" when the question should not even come up.But, then you have Palin, Bachmann, Perry, and Santorum attempting to talk about things like the economy and foreign policy--- not their strong suit.

Chung...you ARE a REAL JOKE !!
So folks like Palin & Perry don't have a "strong suit" when it comes to economy..you must have done a "Rip Van Winkle"; and been sleeping for 20 years! Both Perry & Palin have been CEOs of some very vibrant states.
In Texas..Perry has a state which is growing, while Obama's charge (the USA) is slipping. Texas has no income tax.
Palin was CEO of a very dynamic state; one which not only has
no income tax..but actually rewards it's citizens with a check,.... their portion of state revenues..
Which "blue" state comes anywhere near that ? Perry has experience in the Air Force;... as a governor presiding over a state with balanced books and working the fields and ranches of Texas..
Palin has experience of running a prosperous state with a surplus, working the challenge of an Alaskan fishing boat, harvesting her own meat, hunting dangerous game and having an offspring in combat in the middle east..
Both Perry & Palin have experiences which a Chicago "neighborhood organizer" cannot begin to relate to !
Then comes "foreign policy"..Bachman & Santorum..they put America first and don't feel especially obligated to Islamic terrorist groups like the Muslim Brotherhood..so they certainly could do no worse at foreign policy..and likely, they would do much better..
...And for the same reasons, Perry or Palin would do better at foreign policy, than does butthead.
