The quitters: The Bachmann and Palin pathology
The Hill ^ | 05/30/2013 | Peter Fenn

Posted on 05/30/2013 7:30:16 AM PDT by BuckeyeTexan

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.

He’s a Hillary flack. They’re scared to death that Governor Palin will run in 2016, despite all their claims otherwise.

Bachman did her duty and is NOT becoming A CAREER politician. Both she and Palin have better things to do. Sir Edmund Hillary CLINTON will suck the government tit as long as she lives; along with her debauched hubby, Bill.

Not a “pathology” but a strategy. Watch for the emergence of a newer, better Tea Party with these women at the helm.

While hitlery and nobama abandoned their senate seats, they continued to receive their salaries and goodies, “as senators”.

They all are. Crissy put out a call to Hillary on air to contact him so he and his buddies could get her elected. Can you imagine if a Fox News anchor did the same with a conservative candidate?

After the domestic debacles that were big gov’t Texans Bush I and Bush II, no one was in the mood for former Texan Democrat Perry. Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.

For some reason, many gays like Him seem to have a difficult time accepting Strong Feminine Women like Sarah and Michele.

Maybe he wasn't hugged enough as a kid.

Palin helped create a movement, and then came to the continental United States to help lead it and take it to victory after victory, as she and her people (like Cruz) are poised to take us to new levels of success in 2014.

Her role in 80 to 90 races since December 2008 and her courage and inspiration as a national conservative figure, including the dark times when she was alone but fierce and charging the enemy walls (and surviving), like late 2008 and early 2009, not only inspired the rank and file conservatives but could be seen to rub off on other politicians like Perry and DeMint as they grew bolder and more outspoken in 2009.

The left wishes that Governor Palin had quit, or at least stayed out of the lower 48 by remaining in Alaska.

I sure as hell know the Left thinks that about Trig Palin.

Back in 2008 I heard and read some truly Horrid things that In good taste I won't repeat here.

Michele got similar Horrid things said about her wonderful Husband.

And what if funny about that is that Kirsten Powers is Pro Life and I know has stood up for Sarah.

So your Inner/Outer Beauty Reflection, I think really does exists.

Especially when it comes to being Pro-Life, being for killings babies is bound to bring out your dark side.

Kirsten is a liberal I can live with..she is not a nasty person..in fact she has called out this Administration numerous times..sometimes I think she can one day become Conservative, it could happen..but these other miserable libs, who have nothing better to do than post disgusting comments about Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann only show what kind of vermin THEY are..seeing those photos of Sarah over the weekend at the Indy 500 and the Pacers game, she is HAPPY..she is enjoying life, seeing the smile on her face shows libs they have LOST and Sarah has won..she is happy, they are miserable..just like Sarah has always said “May we be happy and may our enemies know it”
