Michele Bachmann is very formidable because she has more guts than almost all of the elected men in the congress. She is very smart and very determined. All the cynicism about her motives falls today because she is proving through her voting record that she means what she says. All what she brings in terms of voting against TARP, voting against the disastrous Boehner deal with Obama end of last year, not supporting any deal that includes tax increases, and taking Obama on, is why she has influence.
She will not be the nominee, but if she continues her current strategy, her chances of being on the ticket will continue to grow. She has a lot of grassroots support, the same grassroots that produced last November’s results.
“her chances of being on the ticket will continue to grow”
Bachmann’s only chance of being on a ticket is if Mitt Romney is at the head of it. And that is a prospect that most conservatives and virtually all freepers find appalling.
Bachmann has a long history in elective office, and she has never revealed any of that, not being formidable, not guts to lead something, or change something, not the smarts or determination to so much as succeed in passing some decent conservative bill, or any bill as far as I know, nothing.
She does pull a conservative lever, but that isn't exactly the makings of a leader, and someone that can change things, so far, inability to effect change is her defining quality, which is the opposite of what we need in government leadership.
Amen!
That only ticket that Bachmann would have a chance to be on would be Romney’s losing ticket. No, thanks!
