Yep. Hunter was largely ignored. And the RINO went on to glorious victory and easily beat the marxist by drawing such sharp contrasts. Oh wait...

And from this we can conclude that since Palin is such a RINO, she won't draw any contrast between herself and Obama, and is therefor doomed to failure. Makes sense to me.

I don’t really have a side here, as I like both Bachmann and Palin, and think both are pissed off enough to slash gov’t enormously, and tell the establishment to go screw as they do it. But I do want to point out to you, Conservatives are quintessential Americans. We love battles, competitions, and conflict, sometimes a little too much.

I think most of the support for candidates thus far tends to be weak. However, since we like conflict and battle, if you come out and attack a candidate, those who were leaning weakly for him/her, will suddenly entrench their position, and fight with you just to satiate their urge to fight. As that occurs, a weak supporter for your candidate’s opposition becomes a strong supporter, and your candidate is left weaker.

Last go around, I did not like Romney. But his supporters here could have had me walking on broken glass and hot coals to destroy his candidacy. I think you may be doing the same for Bachmann here, and in so doing, solidifying support for Palin.

To harness the urge to battle for Bachmann’s benefit, Bachmann herself would need to come out, and tear down Romney for being Liberal. A lot of the people presently for Palin and denigrating Bachmann, might actually consider Bachmann then, as firstly, there would be a battle to draw them in, and in that battle, they would ally with Michelle. That weak support could rapidly be built upon, and strengthen as the battle progressed.

As I’ve said before, I like you, and think you’re hilarious, but you’re shooting yourself in the foot here and creating division where there need be none.

Let’s not all do the same thing we did last time, and end up with Romney, and then Obama.
