Looking at the present field.........No to Perry...his history w/algore is frightening. Newt sat on the couch w/nancy pelosi and sold us out. Herman Cain is awesome, lots of executive experience in the biz world, but has held zero elective office. Pawlenty took himself out already. Trump...LOL. Sarah has executive experience, but isn’t running. Romney...RomneyCare says it all. For a woman to be at the head of the pack at this date shows some executive experience to me. She has the TEA Party behind her.
The perfect candidate for me, has not come forward. At this point Michelle has my support. No one else has emerged to intrigue me at all. And the last election cycle was even MORE dismal. I am excited to see Michelle has hit on all my key platform positions. Sarah would be even a better match.
Like I said, I don’t know right now WHO the answer is. Jindal would probably be the best bet but he’s not running. It’s also too early to say for sure with 100% certainty who is or is not running- up until the last few weeks it wasn’t clear whether Perry was running and it’s likely someone else (perhaps a few different people) will enter the race at some point. But just finding faults in the present field doesn’t mean the answer is an inexperienced congressperson who will likely both further destroy our country and the conservative movement.
“Herman Cain is awesome, lots of executive experience in the biz world, but has held zero elective office.”-— Like I said, I haven’t decided to back anyone yet but he has much more experience than Bachmann does. At least he knows how to run something. All she knows how to do is vote in a legislative capacity.
“For a woman to be at the head of the pack at this date shows some executive experience to me. She has the TEA Party behind her.” So you really want to use the argument Obama did in 2008? That the fact he’s running a powerful campaign itself gives him sufficient executive experience? I’m sorry but I didn’t buy it then and I’m not buying it now just because the person changed from Obama to Bachmann. Obama had zero experience (he still doesnt seem to have much as he is constantly vacationing and campaigning) and yet it was roughly comparable to the same amount Bachmann has. Both are bad for our country and the leadership of a campaign argument isn’t that impressive to me (if you really want I can further disclose why it’s a losing argument). My understanding, at least the tea party that emails me from time to time, is that it is an independent group of concerned citizens not a massive organized group. Yes there is the tea party caucus but can you honestly say- with proof- that ALL tea partiers are behind Bachmann? Because I know that to be inaccurate.
“And the last election cycle was even MORE dismal.”-— couldn’t agree more.
