Michelle Bachmann in the primaries. What say you guys?
Myself(Vanity)

Posted on 04/29/2011 4:57:43 PM PDT by JosephSmithNAW

If things remain as they are in the Republican Primary field, especially if Sarah decides not to run, then Michelle seems to be a good choice for a conservative to vote for.

Nobody is perfect but she seems okay. Hermain Cain isn't too bad either. Both these people are great conservatives, its just a question of how much support they will be able to get.

I was impressed with her until I read of a recent TV interview in which she folded so easily when George Steph...it’s all Greek to me whipped out the original certification of live birth fraud document and she ceased arguing the matter. That told me that she’s really not ready for prime time.

Michelle and/or Sarah are the only men in the running.

Our next pres. must be able to speak against the garbage that the left spews out, not just endure it.

Not as good as (in order of preference): West, Palin, Cain, and DeMint.

Better than (in no particular order): Ron Paul, MittCare Romney, Huckster, and any retread (McCain, Gingrich, etc.)

Even with Pawlenty? Dunno enough about Pawlenty

Infinitely better than obama.

She forfeited my vote with her interview with Stephanopolis. No.

I respect your opinion but I have to disagree though. I do not think Romney can beat Obama. The Romney machine is good at convincing people that he can but I don’t see it happening. The appeal of Romney is mainly slick packaging.Once under pressure he will fold. Just like he folded to McCain.

I don’t want anyone running who can’t win. We cannot take a chance that Obama will be re-elected. We need a winner! I like Bachman but don’t know how strong a candidate she would be.

She should jump in. Let the primaries shake out. The more the merrier, and we will see how it goes. Right now, I’m skeptical about her winning. If she makes it
through primary, I will campaign for her. I will campaign for whoever the candidate is, for I realize that this election is our last chance @survival as we know it. This is it folks. In fighting will have to stop once someone gets past primary. My montra has been this, “If they prove to be fools, vote their asses out, and move on”. Stopping this fool in the Presidency is my mission.

Well, that’s exactly the point. She’s a strong conservative. When was the last time a strong conservative won the general election? Think about it.

She has moments of pure deer in the headlights. I would think in the debates she would be destroyed. The media would crush her, even the few that are conservative friendly. She’s from small state, and a fairly liberal one at that...I doubt she could even win her own state, quite frankly.

No doubt Bachmann is admired by a lot of Freepers, but specifically what would Bachamann do to fix our current economic situation? Absent a solid, viable plan, she would not have my support.

I agree. We need to keep the pressure on him to run. E-mail him, call him, write him on Facebook. Get his name out there. He really is what America needs.

-"...but she cannot win the general election."

Sorry, but that is the MOST DEFEATIST ATTITUDE that serves no purpose in how to decide one's vote for a candidate (unless, of course, you don't support Palin to begin with).

If you believe in a person's beliefs and their ability to be a successful President of the United States, then that should be a good-enough reason to support that individual. But, don't go off spouting "she can't win", because that is PURE B.S.

The "general election" is only a mere 2 MONTH SPRINT (SEP - OCT). Plenty of time for ANY, and I mean "ANY", Republican candidate to convince 51% of the country that the SOCIALIST is a bad deal!

No reason in particular. Now that you point it out I notice I used the full name of Michelle in the title. Perhaps a little bit of chaos theory might explain that one? :)

You are so right. He needs to be convinced to run.

Okay. Point taken. So then the question is, if not her, then who?

Herman Cain

Maybe not, but Romney is beating him in polls right now. He’s a smart guy, solid business man, looks the part, scandal free. His biggest two albatrosses are RomneyCare which I think he can get out of by simply saying it was wrong and proposing something else. His other issue is that he’s Mormon. It’s sad to say, but there are people in this country that will not vote for a man that is Mormon. I find that mind blowing, but then there were people that wouldn’t vote for Kennedy because he was Catholic. A lot of bigots in this country, unfortunately.

I can’t wait until the libtards throw the “dumb chick” label on her. You know it’s coming. BTW, has she released her college records and law school records?
