I’m sorry, but Bachmann is a joke. She’s like a Chatty Cathy doll that can only say 5 things. You pull the string and she repeats one of her talking points. Get her off the talking points and she’s a worse gaffe machine than Zero. When she’s on the talking points, she comes off to me as insincere and lacking in depth. And prior to this campaign I had a very high opinion of Michele.
I’m pretty sure who I’m going to be supporting now and the choice won’t be popular among a lot here at FR, but the candidate that I agree with 80% of the time is Ron Paul. The other 20% is a damn tough 20% to swallow, but dammit, we’ve lost freedom here at home. If it takes shaking up our foreign policy to get it back, so be it.
You are being very unfair to Bachmann, but I agree that RP is the better choice. In fact, in light of the McCain-Levin Amendment to the Defense Authorization Bill, it appears we are inching (lurching?) toward a nearly totalitarian state, someone like RP may be the only choice.
RonPaul thinks fags in the military is fine. He thinks the US government somehow is the cause of Moslem jihadi terrorism. He thinks that abortion is a states rights issue.
Those three right there (or even one of them) is a killer. He will never will even if he did run.
True that, but with the others it is just more of the same. At least with Paul you get someone serious about the Constitution and spending. But he is terrible on Islam, truly awful.
Like you, I like about 80% of Ron Paul. But that other 20% is going to get a lot of good Americans killed.
Bachmann is a great guest on Hannity and spokeswoman for common sense conservatism. But she ain’t presidential timber.
The 'shaking up' that you have decided to accept will get us dead. Are you looking forward to dead?
Ron Paul has lots of good points in his arguments, but all that good ends just as soon as he starts talking about being chummy with Iran.
