Perry with Israel

State Rep. Alan Clemmons (that's @RepAlanClemmons, who has made the practice of getting South Carolina legislators to leak after meetings obsolete, reports on Perry's remarks today:

"If you're our friend, we are with you. I'm talking about Israel. Come Hell or high water, we will be standing with you!" he said.

He said something similar on the stump at the Iowa State Fair, and it's remarkable the degree to which this has become a standard Republican candidate line, and sometimes the only foreign policy line, to GOP audiences.
