The fact that she started the Tea Party caucus isn't an issue with me. It is the fact that she made herself the chairman and now that is a front page resume enhancer.

Okay, then it's your take that a good Conservative would have started a Caucus, and then walked away so Republicans could subvert the Caucus. Is that about it?

And then it further bothers you that she touts having done something we should approve of, so other people that share our views would know that she does too.

Say what????

I see the politicization of much of what she has touched in her life all the way down to the 23 foster children she and her husband took in from time to time.

She is pro-life. She has backed that up by taking in unwanted kids to help them. Please, enlighten me. What is wrong with doing this, and letting the public know so that some of them might think it was a good thing and take up the cause?

So far, you've mentioned things we should all be happy with, but you're unhappy because Bachmann isn't bashful about doing them, making it public, and by example encouraging others to.

Wow.

What I would like to have seen is her active participation on one of the tax writing committees. She says she is a tax attorney, but hasn't put that skill set to work for her district or the American People. Wasted capacity.

Okay, so now the list becomes a list things she hasn't done. And if she had and broght it to the public's attention, you would be skewering her for that just like you did the above actions on her part.

How does this woman win with a person like you? She does something good, you critcize her for it. She tells folks she did it, and you don't like that either. Then you list things she didn't do, and act as if that would have won you over, even though other things she did you agree with, didn't.

Whew.

IMO, she has fiddle farted around for the past 5 years and hasn't been able to legislatively advance the issues she says she cares about.

Hmmm, she cares about the Tea Party. She did start a caucus. She is the chairman of that caucus. She advocates for sound policy all the time. I've seen her on the talking head shows countless times echoing my stances on things. She does help other Conservative causes in the house. Is this what you refer to as fiddle-farting around? If so, I'd sure like to see a lot more of it. Perhaps you can add NOT starting a fiddle-farting Caucus to your list of things she should have done and didn't.

There is much more that could be said about why they hasn't happened, but Lord knows I don't' want to be accused of any more Bachmann bashing.

And I'm sure they'd be equally as powerful. Thanks for sparing us.
