No, she doesn’t speak for the GOP...TRENT LOTT did when he derisively said “we have to immediately co-opt these people when they get here”. This is the same weasel that wormed around the country looking to apologize to every democrat for an offhand remark he made. I learned all I need to know about how “the GOP” feel about us Tea Party folks when that decrepit old a**hole made that statement.
Mrs Bachmann speaks for ME, and hundreds of thousands of other AMERICANS who are tired of business as usual, tired of “reaching across the aisle to our colleagues in the Democrat Party” AFTER we bitch-slapped them in an election...tired of back-room, last minute compromises that always wind up with US, the American People taking it in the rear end...back-room deals that only enrich those concerned and enhance their positions and personal power.
They play their DC games, cut their deals, “go along to get along” and WE wind up paying for it...with our livelihoods, our homes, our businesses, our hard-earned money, and sometimes our lives. Enough is enough.
Hundreds of thousands of Americans are tired of blue-blood elitists from both parties trying to tell us what we can and can’t own, carry for self-defense, sell, buy, eat, smoke, drink, where to stand, walk, talk, think, feel...
No, you’re right. Michelle Bachmann, Sarah Palin, and the rest of us other Tea Partiers don’t speak for the GOP.
But on every occasion that I’ve heard them speak, they speak for ME. And yes, we Tea Party folk DON’T speak “for the GOP”.
Yet.
But we will. Count on it. That started in November.
If the GOP “leadership” wants to be Demo-Lite, they can go to hell. Compromise is for the loser. We WON the election in November. And the damned GOP better realize that without the Tea Party, they’re going nowhere in the next election.
Nothing against Paul Ryan. He seems a decent enough gentleman. But he’s not a lightning rod (yet).
I realized many years ago that the Democrat party were turning into communist a**holes, and NOT a “loyal opposition” party. If the GOP wants to play nicey-nicey with people who are trying to cut our throats with a hideous ideological political system, then I’ll have no parts of them either, and will work day and night to actively oppose them and put Tea Party people into the leadership positions.
I want my country back. Whomever speaks FOR my country, against all enemies foreign and especially domestic at this point in time, is who I am for.
If Paul Ryan is that man, fine. If it is Michelle or Sarah, fine as well.
But we’re on the brink of National disaster here, right now, at this moment in history - and as far as I can tell, there’s only a few people playing Horatius at the Bridge - and they’re ALL Tea Party candidates.
Why was Bachman giving a response a mistake???????????? The Damn mistake is listening to the Republican Leadership.
Until I see something concrete and positive on what needs to be done call me a cynic and a skeptic.
The day is coming that a new Third Party, one that is rock ribbed Conservative, is coming.
Yes it will cause problems and split the vote, but in time with a lot of work we can build something new.
I came to the conclusion sometime ago that both parties are inherently corrupt. Yes there are a few good people in both parties but they are the minority.
This country may have to hit rock bottom for us to rebuild.
