I don’t see how you can say Bachmann has not led. As in, at all.
She got where she is (now a credible candidate for POTUS - at least for now) because she has led. She’s been out there talking on radio and tv, addressing rallies, being a thorn in the side of Boehner & gang, constantly rallying the voters to positions of fiscal conservatism and limited government.
To define leadership as only introducing bills or working on legislation is just dumb, IMO. Sorry.
P.S. How in Hell’s Bells would any of us even know who she was if she wasn’t leading the charge on the issues that are important to the Tea Party movement?
She has led the people who have sent her there. The Tea Party is an insurgency into the establishment to take this country back, and if you do not understand the Tea Party and Michele Bachmann you have no clue what the heck is going on.
