Granted, Michele Bachmann isn't Ronald Reagan and this isn't 1980 but Obama is Carter, squared and he's ripe for defeat. I suspect some of the knee-jerk opposition to Michelle Bachmann as the GOP nominee has a misogynist basis while some is likely based on the criticism of her gaffes and sometimes shrill demeanor during the debates. O.K., she doesn't have a deep voice. So what? I simply cannot support either Romney or Gingrich - but I could support Bachmann. Her conservatism isn't newly acquired or based on long-ago collective actions and she is impressively fearless.
Yes, she has flaws - they all do - but her detractors, standing arms akimbo and chanting 'she can't win' are not convincing. Bachmann could win if conservatives rallied behind her instead of allowing ourselves to be divided and our collective power diffused among four or five non-conservative candidates while others are driven out of the race. I enthusiastically agree that Obama must be defeated but I also believe that his defeat will be both easy and massive. The claim that to defeat Obama conservatives have to leave their principles outside the voting booth is simply wrong. I will not - and I don't understand why others are willing to do so when it is not necessary.
Obama's presidency is hardly analogous to that of FDR. His misbegotten ultra-liberal policies- foreign and domestic - have epically failed. This is hardly in dispute anymore, even in the liberal media that attempts to distract Americans from noticing by dwelling on superficial aspects of the Republican primary campaigns. From the economy to foreign policy, nothing that Obama has done is working in any substantive way. Democrat hacks pretending that Republican primary voters must choose between Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum (Mitt or Newt) haven't persuaded me that this Hobson's Choice is simply the only option available, take it or leave it. I'll leave it - and I'll take Michelle Bachmann.
