Bachmann is not pure and if you are not pure you will not get the conservative vote.
John McCain was not pure, and we got Obama. History will repeat itself and we wil get four more years of government by fiat and leftwing federal judges who do not have t go through confirmation.
And then we will complain. Sorry, if the majority of voters vote for Bachmann in the primaries and she is our candidate, she gets my vote. My family will not survive another four years of this.
Heck we keep the house and take the senate and we put something in front of romney or Bachmann, or Santorum, or Cain, they will not veto it. No president with his partying power wants to be a land duck on January 21.
Neither is Palin. See “bridge to nowhere”, she was before it before she was against it.
