"I want someone that is a leader, a natural executive,..."


If there was someone in the wings who I trusted to take a chainsaw to the federal budget AND had executive experience, I would be all for it. I would like both criteria, but the first is more important to me at a time when we are in a spending crisis that threatens our civilization. Some are convinced that Perry is that person, but for now I need to be convinced. I want the person on the top of the ticket to be absolutely unwavering in their commitment to reign in the role of government. Michele Bachmann is one of the few Presidential prospects who fits that criteria. She can always add executive experience in the VP and Chief of Staff roles.

Perry is not a chainsaw leader, and Bachmann has no accomplishments to show for her 11 years in office.

Her inability to lead shows that she is merely a vote, a grey suit, she wouldn’t know how to operate a chainsaw, and at age 56, she is not suddenly going to become an effective leader and executive taking over America as President and leading the national government in new directions.

If Bachmann were capable of leading, of making change, of overcoming the stronger personalities of her peers, (much less entrenched career bureaucrats), it would have surfaced during her 11 years in office.
