Are you kidding me? Why not vote for Obama, or Romney (which is the functional equivalent of voting for Obama)?
Bachmann has already proven that she’s just on this side of being a nut-job, that she cannot handle serious pressure or criticism, and has no experience in executive office (which is very different from being in Congress, and even then she doesn’t have much experience there).
As for Paul; what are you, nuts? He hits realistic positions about the same way that a stopped clock gets the correct time twice a day.
It sounds like your bottom-line problem is that you have no real grasp of what you mean by the term “RINO” (Romney is a RINO; Perry is not, arguably Gingrich is not, most likely Cain wasn’t) - because, quite frankly, if this were 1980 you would most likely not have voted for Ronald Reagan on the ground that he was a RINO. You seem to be seeking some sort of ideological purity that is (a) self-destructive, and (b) incapable of satisfaction because there is no human-being who can match up to ideological perfection.
Perry supported the bailout and Gingrich supported Global Warming. That they know to speak the right words during elections does not help. Besides, that gang got a chance when Bush was in power and both the House and the Senate were with the GOP. What did they do in terms of cutting government and gutting Global Warming grants? Nothing. Instead, they gave us Obama.
It seems to me you are the one who is seeking ideological purity
Are YOU serious??
Bachmann is the ONLY candidate in this race with NO Baggage!
She is WAYY better looking than Joe GAFF Biden and makes much less serious gaffes than ANY democrat
She is the first to be against Obamacare! (ROMNEYCARE)
She is a genuine patriot and Constitutionalist despite the wierd followers of Ron Paul (RONULANS)
She openly said she would DEPORT aliens, not SUPPort aliens!
Bachmann was the ONLY choice that entered this racce yet!, she has consistently supported her views and has consistently LIVED her views!
