Walking the walk...not all talk.
Real charity (it’s “for the children”) begins at home.

There’s a lot more than what meets the eye about Michele Bachmann. She’s a tax attorney, I believe a CPA and I believe she’s done post doctorate work in tax law. All that plus getting elected to Congress with 5 kids and 23 foster kids is pretty darned impressive!

[moehoward]

So Bachman is in. Palin in the wings as long as Bachman is ‘eluctable’.
If that should change, Sarah steps in?

[VAFreedom]

my respect for her just went up even more. this is the ‘example’ she’s setting but too hard for some politicians to follow.

[cripplecreek]

I think Michelle Bachmann is about to burn political “conventional Wisdom” to the ground. That’s a wonderful thing.

[Bryanw92]

Palin needs to stay visible and act a lightning rod for liberal hate. They can’t tell Palin and Bachmann apart anyway. Let the nitwit Tina Fey figure out who she’s pretending to be each week and let the liberals’ heads explode trying to figure out how Sarah Palin can be in two places at one time. (Is Bachmann the Sarah Palin robot? Or is Palin the Bachmann clone?? OMG!! My head hurts. Help me Katie Couric...what do I think?)

I think Bachmann is a real contender and a true conservative.

[WOBBLY BOB]

The next congresswoman who legislates more redistribution in the name of “for the children” would be well advised to follow Bachmann’s example instead.

Michele Bachmann

born April 6, 1956 in Waterloo, IA (Meets the Jus Soli Requirement)

Parents were
David John Amble, born in MN
Jean Johnson, born in IA

Both parents were US Citizens at the time of her birth (Meets the Jus sanguinis Requirement)

Michele Bachmann is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN unlike Comrade Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama.

This is a great story. Thanks for posting.

Please , I want to hear about her executive experience too. Oops. I forgot , she has none. Just a 3 term Congress person with an over inflated ego from some Tea Party attention and now she thinks she's Presidential material. If we nominate her , we can never say anything about Obama's lack of experience again.

I’m amazed by such women how they can take on so many children. But this used to be more common back when it was common to have 5-7 kids in an American family

Only one sitting representative has made it to the White House.

I vastly prefer previous governors.

RE: I vastly prefer previous governors.

Among the current crop you have the following choices:

MITT ROMNEY, MIKE HUCKABEE, TIM PAWLENTY, HALEY BARBOUR, MITCH DANIELS and of course SARAH PALIN.

The following have indicated openly that they are NOT RUNNING:

Chris Christie and Bobby Jindal.

[Hunton Peck]

She’s as good as America gets.

“Among the current crop you have the following choices:

I think that list is a good one.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

The more you learn about Rep. Bachmann....the more you like

The Liberal Media and the Liberal GOPers will disagree...but Bachmann is the best bet against Obama.

I would rather have a real conservative who represents a district with more people than the former governor other woman with that “executive experience” who quit after 18 months.

Also, Rep Bachmann is not supporting and giving money to George Soros boys John McCain and Lindsey Graham

The last GOP with “executive experience” turned out to be a Liberal who liked Illegal Alien Drug Dealers better than American citizens.

Re: The Liberal Media and the Liberal GOPers will disagree

If you read the other posts on this thread you will see one major concern from even conservative GOPers regarding Bachmann -— NO EXECUTIVE EXEPRIENCE.

Which means, If Sarah Palin does not run, we’re probably going to be stuck with a real conservative with 6 years of legislative experience against a bunch of former and current governors with executive experience whose conservative credentials are suspect.

RE: I think that list is a good one.

I gather you don’t have a problem with Mitt Romney’s baby, the inspiration for Obamacare — Romneycare ?? (he still stands by it today ).

I also gather you don’t have a problem with Mike Huckabee commuting the sentence of a criminal who was convicted of rape and murder ( Wayne Dumond ), who went on to rape and murder again?
