Just curious, what leadership have either Bachmann, Paul or Santorum shown in congress what leadership position have they been in?
What have they accomplished to advance any conservative issues in congress?
If they couldn’t accomplish anything while in congress why do you think they will accomplish anything as President?
Bachmann is a lying POS based on his campaign thusfar (see the serial slash and burn attacks on Palin, Perry, Cain and now Gingrich as Romney’s surrogate(?)
Santorum is an entirely decent person but has zero charisma how lost a Senate bid.
Paul is a wack job, with his foreign policy and 9-11 truther nonsense.
It’s a fair question. I don’t know that every member of congress can stand out as a leader as the speaker has. The three mentioned seem very principled from my perspective.
It seems logical that the opportunity for impact is much greater for the President than the average member of Congress.
We need a principled person in the Presidency, the position has even more power than originally intended. We would be foolish to limit our selection to the few whom have held leadership positions in Congress.
I hope I’m not wasting a sincere response on someone who has no interest in honest debate. If you can only respond wildly without logic or objectivity, don’t bother.
