We Must Not Choose Obama Lite: Courageous Foreign Policy Leadership Must Define GOP Nominee by Pamela Geller, Big Government
A number of people have contacted me voicing their concern that my coming out against Mitt Romney by signing onto the Not Mitt Romney pledge isn’t helpful. Their argument is that we must ensure that Obama is not re-elected. I agree. America is at a serious crossroads.
Story continues below advertisementIf Mitt Romney nabs the nomination as Republican candidate for President of the United States, I will support him with every breath of my body. That said, Obama Lite is not the answer. Obama Lite will not defeat Obama. In the lead-up to the primaries, we should fight for a candidate with the most principled values. Political will and courage is what we are in dire need of.
John Bolton was my candidate. He didn’t run.
Rudolph Giuliani was next in line for me. He didn’t run.
Sarah Palin had my vote. She didn’t run.
Herman Cain, Rick Santorum, and Michele Bachmann are next.
Rick Perry? Please. I questioned his very bad judgment when I exposed his entire Islamic curriculum, dawah and proselytizing, to Texas school children. To this day he has never come clean about that. And the fact that he was Al Gore’s manager does not bode well.
Perry is a snake. Watch him. He is creepy. And his freak show speech in New Hampshire recently belonged in a Roger Corman film.
For freedom lovers and great American patriots, national security and foreign policy are among the top issues, if not the most important issues in the presidential race of 2012 — particularly after the rout that Obama’s disastrous presidency has wreaked on American hegemony in his wildly chaotic post-American world.
Rick Santorum is best in show on this issue. He has been consistent for years on his opposition to the Iranian mullahcracy’s pursuit of genocidal nuclear weapons. He is singular on this. I hope people are paying attention.I spoke at last Saturday. While I disagree with him on a number of domestic issues, they run a distant second to our safety and security.
And according to ABC News, Michele Bachmann said last Wednesday that she was “troubled that American judges would cite sharia law in U.S. courtrooms and that the practice would ‘usurp’ the U.S. Constitution.”
Finally, a candidate who isn’t afraid to say that A is A. Bachmann nails it. I expect the leftist/Islamic machine to tear her to shreds.
Kudos to Michele Bachmann for taking this principled stance against the most radical, misogynist, extreme ideology on the planet, the brutal Islamic law. I applaud her. She scores big on this issue, as the other candidates are like little girls when it comes to this critical point. She was also the only candidate to sign the anti-sharia pledge. She bounces big with me on this.
The two most overlooked candidates, Bachmann and Santorum, are head and shoulders above the field on the issues most critical to the nation at this historic juncture: foreign policy, Iran, Israel, national security and the economy, of course.
They should be polling better. I expect that to change.
The struggle for the nomination is now. And I am so sick and tired of the enemedia and the subversive left destroying our most effective leaders on the right in their attempt to make them unelectable, all the while exalting vacuous vassals like Obama. They tried to do it to Reagan. They destroyed George W. Bush. They think they have done it to Sarah Palin, and now they are working on doing it to Herman Cain.
Not so fast, destroyers.
If they think they are going to pick our candidate this time (as they did with McCain in ‘08), they are in for a very rude surprise. Not. This. Time. We cannot let our domestic enemies define our leaders. We cannot let our domestic enemies destroy our most effective voices on the right. You must have seen by now that the more rational, the more effective, the more patriotic a Republican leader is, the more he or she is marginalized, ridiculed, destroyed.
This must stop, and we must stop it. The perspective and agenda that the chattering class, the media elites and their tools, are advancing will shatter in the face of reality.

“I endorse Herman Cain. What he doesn’t know, we’ll teach him.”-Pamela Geller.
Who will teach him? You Pamela? Romney2012

I agree with Pam, Cain over Romney. I’d much like to see a principled & successful businessman rather than a slick talking politician for a change, someone really different but sensible. Someone who can bring us out of the Obama & Holder nightmares and scare the hell out of the left.

Romney is next in line, nothing more. I’m not going to vote for Mr. Romneycare and trust that he won’t continue Obamacare. Give me a break. That hand has already been shown.
On the other hand, I cannot agree with the “anybody-but-Obama” mentality. Bush-1 was next in line after Reagan and he screwed the pooch, bigtime, which ushered in that lecher-in-chief, Clinton. Then we got Bush-2 which was merely the lesser of two evils which continued our downhill slide. McCain was the biggest insult to our intelligence that brought us the Marxist’s ultimate wet dream, Hussein Obama, and we have no more time or energy to waste if we want to avoid becoming, completely and permanently, the Soviet Socialist Republic of the United States of Amerika on a fast train to joining the Ummah..

Never ceases to amaze me how everyone is mentioned except Ron Paul. Anyone who would not support him is outta their mind. I have a coin, one side is republiCON, the other demoncrat. which ever side it lands on will be the side that rips you off for even more than the last guy did. No wonder this country is going down the toliet. The flouridated water and gmo foods along with the the MSN has turned this place into a land of brain dead zombies.

Lee Harvey Allred and Sihan Sirhan Bialek
Posted by Frank on Nov 08, 2011 19:29

As I watched Gloria Allred parade her self-serving face in the media, as she led her weapon to the microphone and a news conference, I could not help but think of her as the new techno-media-assassin. No Sirhan needed anymore. The methods have changed, though the intention remains the same. Now we have the sniper with a smear instead of the bullet to do the job.
Herman Cain is very vulnerable to Lee Harvey Allred and Co. Not even the secret service can protect Herman from them. Until recently, I was somewhat indifferent to Cain’s candidacy. Now, I will make sure I vote for him.

All these crawl-between-toes creeps have come out of the woodwork after 15 years to do what they are destined to do by their character. Anyone who is not offended by this (even if Herman did hit on the women), who does not realize the malice of Allred, and this parade of creeps, is blind to reality.
Pamela tends to let her heart go before her head sometimes. But in this matter the heart sees the truth.

What we are watching in this matter of Herman Cain is the equivalent of an assassination. Instead of a pantry and a pouncing Sirhan firing at RFK, we have an Allred firing a Bialek at Herman. Sirhan claims (now) he does not remember what he did to RFK in 1968 (though Sirhan’s Jew-hating rants at the time almost caused one of his defense attorneys, Emile Berman, to resign)-so maybe Allred will oneday claim she has amnesia in this pantry event.
People should be offended by this.

Interesting no mention of Newt…the sleeping giant is just waking up. I believe that Newt’s #’s are going to start to rise..alot. I look forward to a leader who understands welfare reform and the mideast crisis. Who is the guy who will put John Bolten in as our Sec/State and Sarah Palin in as energy secretary One who understands the importance of a budget…currently 900 days w/out one…and keeping it balanced. I like the Cain/Newt thingy going on…they compliment each other and talk of real substance. This will be very interesting to watch unfold!!!

I agree with Laurie on Newt. I have ignored him till now because of his easily attacked marital history. But, looking forward, Newt has the intellectual heft, quickness of mind, and richness of ideas to give Obama a run for his money; especially in debates. Dorothy Rabinowitz has a great article in tomorrow’s WSJ: “Why Gingrich Can Win.”

I am not sure Gingrich can win. I agree that he is smart and a good speaker, but he has a lot of baggage. Moreover, he is as narcissistic as Obama.
I keep wishing someone else would get in the race. Giuliani could win this. It is too bad he dropped out.
Why are most of our pickings so blah? I mean really. This is all we’ve got? The RINO Romney? Gingrich? Huntsman? Bachmann?
Rich Santoro is an actual conservative, but he just can’t get traction.
It’s no surprise that people rally around Cain. He is the only one that breaks from the prescribed script and appears to be a real human being. He is the only one that appears to be interesting to know. The others not so much.

DISAPPOINTING choice by Geller. The only candidate who actually knows something abou the threat of stealth jihad is Newt Gingrich. He gave more than enough speeches and interviews regarding this. He even said he would investigate CAIR, ISNA etc. In addition, he is by far the most intelligent of them all.
So it is beyond my why Geller wouldn’t support him. Pretty lame I have to say.

I couldn’t agree more…NO MORE LESSER OF TWO EVILS.

In the final analysis I think Romney and Rubino will be the GOP ticket. However, the smear job directed at Herman Cain is so outrageous, so evil, that I will vote for Cain at any chance given. We cannot tolerate this new rub-out method as represented by these new pantry snipers. It is as outrageous to allow these creeps (Alrred e.g.) to get away with this evil as the evil itself is an outrage.

Pamela — what’s wrong with drafting Allen West? He’s the best of the bunch, he is erudite, has two university degrees, has read the Koran and the CONSTITUTION and all the present books in circulation about the crimes of Islam and the lefties, Commies and Obamaites. He is an excellent speaker and can counter all the attacks of the jerks because of his knowledge. And nobody has his integrity, fearlessness, and courage. He has an immaculate background with no scandals. He’s my candidate, we’re working to get him drafted.

Pamela,
Newt? He has been the most pro Israel member of Congress and even more than Santorum, whose support is religiously based, Newt actually “gets” it. He understands the real histories of the region and the danger of radical Islam. Not to mention he has the experience we need.

I really do like Michele Bachmann, and she is a Tea Party favorite–but, unfortunately, she is probably unelectable. Newt is a fine policy wonk but his personal life discredits him. Plus he’s become morbidly obese! This is in contrast with Rick Perry, who is in great shape. But Perry’s performance in the debates so far has been C-. So my choice is Rudy–oops, he’s not running….

I don’t plan to vote for Romney, in any event. I support Dr. Paul for the nomination. If he isn’t on the ticket, I might not vote Republican. We’ll see…

I feel the same way about Perry. He’s creepy.
