“The difference would be that one of them is DELIBERATELY trying to destroy our country, while one of them would be DELIBERATELY trying to save our country. Should the latter fail in her endeavor as a result of said inexperience, I still would not regret my vote for her.” Very true. However, I fear both will ultimately prove incompetent as leaders. At least Obama won’t destroy the cause of limited government in the process while Bachmann likely would. Look at the Bush presidency. While he was conservative on social issues, he was hardly a conservative. Yet his presidency tarnished the name of conservatism to a lot of people (I think this is largely what happened with 2006 and 2008). Now imagine how bad it would be with a REAL conservative like Bachmann in when said individual shows incompetent leadership (as I suspect given her limited experience she must). The blame for conservatism will never end. So you see it as thus: a vote for obama which is a vote for america being bad for a few more years and probably the ultimate destruction of American socialist thought (his supporters are already coming apart as it is) and his incompetence keeping the damage from getting too too excessive particularly if conservatives control both houses v. Bachmann’s incompetence and conservatism taking the blame for maybe decades for the potential destruction from it.
“Rather than say you would vote for the worst president in the history of the universe it might be better if you spread the following message among any liberals you may encounter:
Number 1: If you voted for obama in 2008, you were either (A) misinformed or ignorant to the point of being irresponsible to your country (its not like the information wasnt out there), or (B) informed and purposefully trying to harm our country.
Number 2: Now, after three years of his track record, if you were to still support or vote for him, NO MATTER WHO he is running against, you are a clear and established enemy of our country and I would ask you to just move to somewhere else on the planet, otherwise downrange might be your last known location if things get really really bad.”-— believe me I’m telling my leftist friends this but I’m telling you that if Bachmann becomes president just as much damage will be done to our country due to her own incompetencies and she’d destroy the conservative movement in the process. I pray to god she doesn’t get the nomination as I refused to vote for Obama in 08 and am even less likely to do so now but when the choice comes to destroying the country and making socialism (correctly) look bad v. destroying the country and making conservatism look bad, I’m opting for the former.
Here's something I read once but can't remember where: The republic can survive a barack obama, but what's a whole lot less likely is that the republic can survive the collective stupidity that put this post turtle up there to begin with.
