“But go ahead & let the media dictate who’s worthy of your vote.”
Where the hell do you get that from? Just because I don’t think Bachmann has a snowball’s chance in hell means I am some media-following zombie?
I doubt that attitude is going to win many people over to your point of view. “Think like me or you’re brainwashed!”.... not a good campaign strategy.
Bachmann is 'no longer credible' in the same way Palin isn't credible, in the same way Reagan wasn't credible (at least until just before he won in a landslide). Because that is the establishment narrative.
She is not dishonest, she isn't stupid. By her words (aside from a few mis-statments among thousands of words spoken) and deeds as a congresswoman she is deserving of serious consideration.
Except for the opinions of certain pundits and reporters, whos motives are certainly suspect, you have no basis for asserting that she is anything other than a capable, principled constitutionally grounded candidate.
IMO I thought thats what we conservatives wanted.
