People shouldn’t be so hard on Bachmann and other conservatives for their vote for Bonehead. There was the very REAL possibility that Pelosi could have been elected had the Republican vote been split. How would that have worked out for us?
I can appreciate that thinking, however, there were some who refused to apply this logic to the presidental election.
You’re right. Bachmann may have been blackmailed, threatened with smear if that didn’t work, and, if she still resisted, her family may have been threatened with blackmail or violence. Where would she go?—Obama’s FBI? Let’s get real: the world’s smartest and most ruthless thieves cannot resist a trillion dollars, and there is no independent (Hoover) FBI to do anything about it. It is an ego trip to think you’re smarter than the most powerful people on earth. They are not boneheads or bungling, fumbling fools who just need your insight. They have not failed to notice something you noticed—they are aware of much more than you! Our brilliant logical analyses are not beyond the grasp of the world’s most powerful people and their legions of brilliant employees. The Congress is not stupid; they are either compromised or wicked. Levin-like angry advice is allowing our egos to make ostriches of us. Unspeakable amounts of money and the crime they attract is the actual problem facing us. Hope springs eternal, and I can hope and wish, too. I just want to think realistically.
They should have rallied and stood behind a better person than Boener and they didn’t. They are one big club and those who want to be ‘in’ obey - they wouldn’t dare ruffle the feathers for our country. Patriotism is long gone in this country.
