That is the truth of it, she is appealing to look at and listen to usually as she says the things that we like to hear, but she is no leader, she has no accomplishments in her years in office, and the House leadership and all other men handle her pretty easily.
We should just be happy for her to keep a Congressional seat and vote well, as she does.
I imagine it must be too difficult to be head of the Tea Party caucus and get your initiatives passed. She’s mandated to introduce legislation that is too conservative for the rest of the House, by definition. And she’s not the Speaker or the Majority Leader, so she doesn’t have the power that they do to muscle around like Pelosi did and garner the votes.
If we get more Republicans and more conservative Republicans in office next time, she might be able to get better results.
Whatever happens in the election, we have been watching history in the debates. She battled with the men on their level and held her own. Women have different voices from those of men, so think about that when you observe her trying to be heard above the tenors and bassi.
I intend to see the Thatcher movie, even though it is negative toward Thatcher. Bachmann has picked a great role model. Kudos.
I totally agree with you.
