I will explain.

I thought it was self-evident but I was wrong.

The Tea Party is something she was and is a leader of.

The Tea Party is mainstreet Americans stepping forward and saying the ruling class, including far too many Republicans, have virtually destroyed this country. We mainstreeters now have to come forward and take our country back for the average Americans.

The Congress has virtually destroyed us. The Presidency has virtually destroyed us. These people have to be stopped by outsiders, which are actually the American People themselves from mainstreet America.

The ruling class cannot be left to themselves to continue ruining us until we are no more.

Michele Bachmann is in the Tea Party mode. To claim that someone who hasn’t risen in the insider ranks of the Congress to become acceptable there, is therefore lacking, just shows an incomprehension of the Tea Party.

Also, you have accepted the fiction that she has no other accomplishments.

That just is not true.

I have researched and found out what she has done that is good experience for running and serving, but I am tired of doing other people’s research for them. I have posted information about what she has done, and I am fed up with having to explain what she has done and why it matters, to people who simply hate her or who just blunder on in willful ignorance.

I appreciate your response.

I have been to several Tea Party functions (no local, must go to nearby city) and Glenn Beck's too. I follow the Tea Party and admire and subscribe to their tenets. But this is a terribly important election coming and we need both a conservative and a leader wrapped up into the same person to pull this off.

I have researched and found out what she (Bachmann) has done that is good experience for running and serving, but I am tired of doing other people’s research for them. I have posted information about what she has done, and I am fed up with having to explain what she has done and why it matters, to people who simply hate her or who just blunder on in willful ignorance.

I'm one of those who haven't done any research on Bachmann, not to say that I never will. Current impressions are I like her, but I also like Cain and Perry, who I think has the best chance of beating Obama.

Since she's evidently your first choice, and you HAVE done the research, why don't you just "cut and paste" that information on threads where it's appropriate.

Many of us don't read every thread, every day and we could benefit from your efforts.

Just a suggestion.
