It is one thing to raise millions from grassroots activists or appear on record numbers of TV talk shows or give rhetorically charged speeches before adoring crowds it is quite another to do the hard work of governing.
Both Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin were political lightweights who were full of sound and fury and accomplished very little. Both quit their posts like spoiled children, after meteoric rises that had precious little to do with actually getting anything done.
Both were bad examples of what public service should be all about and both exhibited a certain pathology steeped more in ego and appearance than serious legislating or governing.

I still stand firm and I suggest people go back and look for themselves.

Jesus Christ was also attacked and crucified, Satan is here and constantly attacking the best among us.
Both of these ladies are excellent defenders of the US Constitution. Michelle served several terms representing her state. Her plans may include running for President next year. It takes time and planning to mount a Presidential campaign. She handled herself and ran for President in the last election.
Do you notice those accusing others of HATE are indeed practicing HATE early, and dirty, ongoing. It is the liberal way. Progressive Liberals Attack and tear down with lies, false accusations, twisting truth and presenting it as fact. The press apparently are essentially in the pocket of all things liberal. We have moved so far away from the Constitution as to be accepting of the malarkey saying it is old and needs to be thrown out. Many believe the ten Commandments of God are the same.
God help us. We are digging our own grave by listening to and believeing nonsense about good people. If the opponents can get us to turn away from our strongest and best candidates ... we are indeed lost and will be complicit in the destruction and fall of the greations nation on earth.
Many nations before us have fallen through moving away from what made them great. Satan is always whispering in the ears of any willing to listen.
Exactly. Prison not the WH.
May I add, let us not forget Michele made some very powerful Enemies back in the day (al la, the Holy Land Foundation Case)
Remember, Brotherhood Money Buys Republicans (and from the looks of it, Many FReepres) as easily as it buys Democrats.
Hillary’s “record” is simply time spent in politics. That’s the only conclusion I can come to since she doesn’t have any serious accomplishments to tout as a U.S. Senator or U.S. Secretary of State. Same with Obama.
Michele isn’t going to run for POTUS again. She and her 2012 presidential campaign are being investigated for ethics violations. I make no claims about her guilt or innocence because I am ignorant of the charges.
This explains a lot:
Peter H. Fenn (born December 12, 1947) is a Democratic political strategist, consultant, television commentator and owner of Fenn Communications Group, a political and public affairs media firm based in Washington, DC in the United States. The firm has worked in over 300 campaigns, from presidential to mayoral...

In 1996 and 1998, Fenn and his firm (then Fenn-King-Murphy-Putnam Communications) were chosen as the lead media consultants for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, producing ads that helped win back seats for the Democrats. In campaign 2000, Fenn served as a surrogate spokesperson on cable news programs for Gore for President. He performed the same role in 2004 for the Kerry for President campaign and in 2008 for Obama for President.
Prior to forming the firm, Fenn was the first Executive Director of Democrats for the 80’s, a political action committee founded by Pamela Harriman and then-Governor Bill Clinton. Fenn also served on the staff of the Senate Intelligence Committee and as Washington Chief of Staff for Senator Frank Church. In 1983, Fenn aided in the founding and was the first Executive Director of the Center for Responsive Politics.[3]
Fenn has consulted overseas for the Agency for International Development and the National Endowment for Democracy. He produced television programs in Russia, Bosnia, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic, and consulted for political parties and candidates in such countries as South Africa, Mozambique, Romania, Latvia, Colombia, Northern Ireland and Hungary.

Fenn was a rotating guest on Tucker, along with political analyst Pat Buchanan, until the shows end in March 2008. He also served as a guest host on CNN’s Crossfire and The Spin Room, as well as MSNBC’s Equal Time. Fenn appears frequently as a TV commentator on the major networks and on cable news shows.

I’m not surprised that a DNC hack takes the time to attack Bachmann. There are always supposed GOP who will come out and attack her as well. And Palin. And any other conservative you can name. There are plenty of “John Fund” types who make it their business to come after them.
The press monkeys are on fire right now assuring us that the GOP will blossom if they just get rid of the crazies by which they mean me and you and anyone who believes in God and the Constitution.
We must wake up and stop being stupid and agreeing with the other side in the hope of satisfying or compromising. We conservatives, are in large part Christian. We have morals and ethics, hoping to receive similar attitudes from the other side. NOT HAPPENING! The other side is happy to lie, cheat, steal all in the name of winning.
God help us. When over 47% of the people receive welfare from the government, ... we are out voted . Social security is monies we paid into the government social security program and then when of age we begin to draw it. It is our money for the most part. Not welfare
Honestly, I don’t know why he bothered to write this drivel other than to antagonize.
Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LLS
We need to stop attacking our own. I was truly shocked by the hate here on FR for Rick Perry. The man has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and is responsible for a booming economy. Sure he has his faults. So did Reagan. So did W. But I’d choose Rick Perry for POTUS everyday of the week and twice on Sunday over Barack Obama.
(I didn’t mention the Palin hate because she was not a candidate.)
They just might get their wish. I can see opportunities for Bachmann in a Palin administration.
Whatever that turns out to be, you can bet the screeching will ramp up.
Could it be that they are going to set up the Tea Party as a new -- third -- political party?
Riiiiiight, ........ Hilalry!
Nuff said, about the author.
That's exactly the thought that went around our living room.
That high, huh?!? ;-)
With Hillary's complicity in the murder of four Americans, the number of her administrative and political talents should be significantly less than zero.
Liberals just can’t help themselves..they are such hateful bastards..I dont know if they were just born nasty pieces of filth or became that way over time but I truly despise leftists
It was probably referencing that all of them have left - or are leaving in Bachmann’s case - elected office. There are several articles out there today about it.
