I really wish the so called conservative groups could quit the msm meme of bashing Palin as unprepared, not experienced enough, etc. Just have a look at the WH and see how mature, experienced, etc. is the "Messiah" the msm touted. They live in never never land. Could we conservatives wake up and make up our own minds?
I have had many people spout downers about Bush and Palin that prove no thought because they just mouth the exact excrement the media have spouted.
Further, if Boehner and Repub leaders don't recognize Michelle Bachmann as a leader, they need to be taken to the woodshed.
If we do not hold their feet to the fire, they will manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Even my lawyer son told me today he is a tea party sympathizer, and he is fiscally conservative but socially a libertarian. I have never formally joined, but I am totally in line with what they have accomplished--time we ALL stand up and unashamedly let our views be known.

I think there's a natural majority for fiscal conservatism in the US.
I do not believe there is a natural majority for social conservatives. I think a majority of people would describe themselves as your son did.
