I think we need to support Michele Bachmann in her decision.
She is a great patriot and, like Sarah Palin, she will not be silenced.
She will be on the TV shows, not Jeb Hensarling. Let him do the work, and let Michele Bachmann appear in public.
He’s under the watchful eye of the newly-elected Tea Party Republicans. He’ll come through (or else).
I know Jeb Hensarling, we were his contact before the dems changed the districts, now his district is “up north”. We still hear from him and still support him. He has been in DC a few years. His mentor was Sen Phil Graham and Phil was his Economics professor at TX A&M. Yes, he is a lawyer, but he is very, very conservative and a gret l “bookkeeper”. We think a lot of his parents, they raised a nice, smart youngster.
I agree he will be under the watchful eyes of Tea Partiers, and that’s a good thing. I think all of our elected Republicans should be under the watchful eye of us. We’re Tea Partiers and as I’ve said before, “we’re so conservative we squeek”, Jeb knew that when he asked us to represent him in our area.
There are also House Republican Conference vice chair (currently Cathy McMorris Rogers) and Conference Secretary (currently John Carter) positions in the House leadership. I expect Hensarling to name Bachmann to one of those positions at the earliest opportunity.
