Bachmann would be great. IMO she is better than palin.
I do see two potentially big problems with both Palin and Bachmann in 2012.
First: we would be coming off a big “First” for America. The first black president that is. Unfortunately this little experiment has been a complete disaster. I’m not sure that the “First Woman” president and the unknowns that go with it might be troublesome in the minds of many voters. Voters on both sides may not be in the mood to try something new again.
SECOND: What if the first woman president gets pregnant while in office? Think about it honestly. Would you be comfortable if the US were to come under attack or all out war if our president were pregnant and at the same time needing to make decisions that may determine the survival of our country?
Hillary ran but was on the Dem side so this issue never came up. Also Hillary was older or at least appears old enough that pregnancy would be unlikely. Don’t think for a second that the left wing media will not bring up this issue with young attractive females like Palin or Bachmann. It’s an issue that I doubt many voters have ever put much thought into but when it’s brought to light it will be a consideration and could mean a loss in 2012 if the Dem is a man.
“Would you be comfortable if the US were to come under attack or all out war if our president were pregnant and at the same time needing to make decisions that may determine the survival of our country?”
Does this mean you wouldn’t be comfortable? On what grounds?
Is it the idea that a woman carrying a new life inside of her might be more squeamish about giving orders that would end thousands, if not millions, of other lives? Hopefully any leader would take that sort of decision just as seriously as a pregnant woman might.
Or perhaps you are afraid that the hormones of pregnancy might affect her judgment? Do we get afraid that guys on a testosterone high might similarly make poor decisions about life and death matters?
Bachman is 54. Her ability to conceive, much less carry a pregnancy to even close to term, is probably almost nil. Perimenopause tends to do that to a woman.
ROTFLMAO at the thought of Hillary being pregnant!
It would be easier to envision Barry preggers. He has all the proper whoremones.
Actually, we are coming off 2 big “firsts” for American Presidents....the first Muslim president and the first Socialist President.......
I can’t believe I just read what you just said.
I am a guy and women handle pressure much better than any man. Women multitask. We need a woman POTUS no one can clean up a budget and run things better than a woman.You must not have wisdom or life experience or you are Archie Bunker on a computer.
Why is it if a man runs people think he is the man?
Men can’t relieve stress women can.
I doubt either woman would not make appropriate arrangements about their reproductive capabilities. How many Down’s Syndrome moms get pregnant again? Both women are over 45 and there’s less than a 1% chance of either getting pregnant again without a fertility specialist. Apparently pregnancy didn’t slow Palin down enough for anyone to have to fill in for her. Pregnancies are far more predictable than are heart attacks and strokes.
