Some Thoughts After Hearing Huntsman and Romney
Posted by Heather Hurlburt

First, kudos to my colleagues on that side of the aisle -- especially Team Huntsman -- for turning out substantive speeches that one can actually think and argue about.  such a nice change from the debates.  (Shhh, don't tell anyone I said so.)  However, I drew three over-arching conclusions and they aren't particularly cheery:

1.  There are no conservative ideas about foreign policy since Ronald Reagan that it is safe for conservative candidates to reference in public.  So you get "peace through strength" over and over.  How is "strength" different now from 1982?
2.  No one in American public life yet has an explanation to Americans of how what happens abroad affects our lives at home -- or could help us out of the slump we're in -- that they have confidence in.
3.  No one running for President thinks Americans vote on foreign policy.  These speeches are concocted to play to grander notions of strength that do seep down into the voting public, and then to niche audiences, whether those niche audiences are ethnic groups (Huntsman and Indian-Americans) , specific industries and regions (Romney and ship-building), wings of the party (the Iran war lobby) or editorial writers and national media looking for "seriousness."

In this excerpt, although watch out of ten is one of many watches only the tip of the iceberg, is different ........ Make sure you buy your watch from a well-known dealer to ensure that you are not being ripped off. It helps if they have an address or a store that you can visit, should you have any issues with your purchase. You can often easily check their address using Google Maps street view to see if their shop is where they say it is.

No one can succeed without any hard work. Karl Max was successful, because he spent more than 30 years writing the book "Communist Manifesto"; Tomas Edison succeeded, because he had experimented thousands of times to find the best material for lights. Every success calls for hard work. If you want to suc-ceed, work hard first.zhongchengmaoyi110post

so lucky to read your post, i will read your post time to time,thank you!

Even if you appreciate a good steak, like black sheepskin cuff boots around the old pigskin on a Sunday, or playing baseball the horse-hide ball around the baseball diamond, one look at vegan apparel, and in particular, classic short boots gray vegan footwear, and you will be asking the folks at the local health food store where you could get a pair of roxy short boots black. You will be delighted to find out that you could even get a vegan baseball glove, and vegan baseball cleats. Having said that, don't worry. Your softball buddies are not going to suspect a thing.Everyone has done it. You've gone out and tried on a pair of UGG sundance boots at a shoe store and brought them home and then found out later on that there was some problem with them. They were too tight, pinched your toes and just felt uncomfortable in some way. They turned out to be a waste of money.Then today with the higher cost of shoes, good quality shoes anyway only going up, that type of tough lesson has become only more painful in the pocketbook. So then keep on reading because the following is the good handful of great pointers that you can use to ensure that when you buy cheap nike shox shoes today that you end up with no UGG paisley boots .So the days are long gone when people are willing to forgo comfort for looks and style and this doesn't mean necessarily that you can't have shoes that look, and "feel great" too. This is because the newest "buzz" in footwear design is in dress UGG suburb crochet that looked like a normal dress shoe but feel like you're wearing a sneaker.

your opinion is right! I support you! I will let my friends to read!

I certainly feel Russia, China, and others should take a firmer stance toward Iran -- though China did recently back out of an important energy infrastructure investment there, in an undernoticed move -- but being rashly confrontational with them isn't going to get their help in confronting Iran.

Summit meetings like next week's G-20 in Cannes are something of a mixed bag for world leaders. Conventional wisdom holds that summits are politicians' cat nip--a chance to bask in their status and commiserate with peers. Of course there are also substantive policy matters on the docket, and the challenge of producing results worthy of all the fuss.

Your article is an excellent showing of writing skills that my children should be using. You have captured readers with your compelling and interesting views.

I really admire you
