My candidate? I dont have a candidate. I just know a congressperson with NO executive experience isn’t the solution. It has nothing to do with anyone else. I’m not backing anyone specifically right now.
I don’t want to vote for Obama either. It makes me cringe. But I refuse to destroy conservatism on the road to an equally inadequate leadership. And it’s not a platform thing. It’s an experience thing. Bachmann has no leadership experience. She’d be the first congressperson to go directly to the White House. You too are misrepresenting what I’ve said (although I don’t think in your case- unlike hers where she accused me of always being an Obama supporter when I can’t stand the guy). I have no problems with the platforms Bachmann or Palin espouse. I agree with you. BUT Bachmann lacks the experience to be a good leader. That’s all. The lack of experience would lead to a catastrophe of a presidency and it would all be blamed (wrongfully) on conservatism. Conservatives would suffer for years from it.
your argument that it will destroy conservatism fails the smell test. it could happen, heck Bush almost did it all by himself, but that does NOT mean I will risk four more years of theO. that I KNOW will destroy my country.
