RE: LOL, She has been in elective politics for 15 years, has never displayed leadership, you think we are all keeping her down and somehow blocking her ability to lead us because her leadership is lying dormant until we skip the part where she has to EARN her political victories, and she gets what?
YES, it’s because the GOP has not given her the chance to be in a leadership position. But when it comes to fighting for conservative principles, she has been one of the leaders of the party.
RE: Assigned to the presidency, or to a place of responsibility in the congress, or to a governorship or something?
I never used the word “assigned” you did. If she runs, and the candidates she runs against ( the so called “leaders”) are going to be the same ones like Romney ( being touted again ), or Jeb Bush ( yet another Bush ) then, of course, Bachmann it is.
RE: It is HER job to lead, not for you to explain to us that no one will let her lead them.
And in this SHE HAS LED. She’s one of the few voices actually speaking out FOR conservative principles.
The fact that the GOP refuses to use her is not her fault.
RE: I really don’t even know what your obsession is,
And I don’t even know what your obessssion with my so-called obsession is. My voting principles are very straigthtf orward and I believe, good for the country if the majority had the same principles — VOTE FOR THE MOST CONSISTENTLY CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE ON THE LIST.
Rank them according to this hierarchy — Principle, Consistency and Experience.
She won’t be on top of the list of there are conservatives like Ted Cruz who would run, but hey, if he doesn’t and we’re left with the list being touted, I’d take her over the others.
RE: why are you so determined to create this image of her as a presidential candidate of major stature.
I think I can ask you the same question regarding determination... Why are you so determined to create this image of her as a non-presidential candidate of minor stature?
Stature is in the eye of the beholder. For me, she has the qualities that make for a good president compared to the rest of the sorry lot being touted out there ( with a few exceptions ).
The only winning ticket for the GOP is a Gov/Gov ticket. We need a solid experienced governor from a dynamic, growing state. Right now that looks like a Perry/Walker ticket. Walker could give us a total of 16 years of GOP control over the Presidency. We need that after Obama.
We have all already seen her in action for years and already dealt with her ill fated vanity run for the presidency, we have the measure of the woman, and now that she is leaving the only place where she had any value, we are weary of her possible negative influence, like with Ed Rollins and Todd Akin.
Your fantasy and illusions, and obsession are not shared by the voters.
My hope is that the old gal doesn’t hurt us conservatives by letting her vanity keep controlling her.
