Bachmann has indicated she is running. Is she supposed to wait for Palin? It is time for Palin to make a move if she's going to run. The others have no reason to wait.
Bachmann has indicated she is running...
You set the bar higher for Palin than you do Bachmann.
Palin must "declare" a run, while Bachmann only needs to "indicate" a run.
Neither have declared and both have indicated a run.
She has a big movie coming out in July. There is no way that she can run with that movie being released. It would cause every candidate to have a two hour movie about themselves.
“What Leftist rag did you get this propaganda from?
The writer argues that none of Palin’s allies can run for President without betraying her. So Palin can be the only conservative, and everyone else running has to be a RINO.
Then what if Palin does not run? It would be all RINOs. That is the clear agenda of the article writer.”
/// straw men arguments, and personal attacks? that doesn’t sound like conservative FReepers to me.
UnwashedPeasant made the same mistake Vendome did in incorrectly reading the original article.
post 77 addressed this rather emphatically:
“Neither the article nor the title addresses “anyone” other than the two putative candidates”

...i don’t totally agree with the original article. but, attacking a man for something he DIDN’T say, i do object to.
and the original article did have good information i didn’t know. and, while perhaps he says it clumsily by some standards, he makes great points. Like that unlike the left, to the right, character and integrity DO matter.
i WOULD have proudly voted for Bachmann before. but if you look at those “Rollins” threads, you will see MANY people know that Rollins said ridiculous things about Palin long before he was hired.
Bachmann knew this. and endorses it by her silence. Most would have forgiven her, if she had immediately fired Rollins for repeated his remarks AFTER he was hired. but she didn’t.
i LITERALLY only voted in 2008, because of Sarah. The GOP doesn’t understand, that i may be in the minority, but i’m not alone.
i will stay home rather than vote for a candidate that i don’t respect now (Bachmann), or a Rhino ( Romney or Perry).
Also, there were several other posts in the 60’s that i felt had similar misunderstandings, and i was going to respond to, until i saw that FreeReign responded to those brilliantly. much better than i could do. I enjoyed reading ALL his comments.
Post #51 by onyx was beautiful. thank you!
Certainly people can run against her. but they should have defended her after Tuscon, and not allow people like Rollins to call her “lazy”. They NEED our enthusiasm in 2012. and they won’t get it, by showing a lack of character.
#52 “Facebook” bears repeating:
Palin: approaching 3.2 million
Bachmann: 188,000
Perry: 56,000.
