“’Shut up’ is not an argument, defense, or rebuttal.”

Good point.

STFU Tom Ridge!

There that’s better.

Rather than debate Ridge's claim that Bachmann lacks experience, the author attacks Ridge on guns.

It just proves Ridge's point.

Bachmann is the Republican equivalent of Barack Obama: lawyer, no legislative accomplishments and no executive experience.

If she were "Michael" Bachmann instead, she'd be at 3% with Rick Santorum.

"truthfully" in your case is nothing of the kind.

However, there is the fact that she is imminently more qualified than zero so is electable as a replacement on that basis alone.

Not at all. She's just as inexperience as he was in 2008, and maybe less so, since she's never even run statewide.

Your idea of "more qualified" means you agree with her, not that she's got more experience than a sitting president who, as a candidate, you probably saw as an empty suit.

Can’t belive GWBush put this man in his cabinet. I think time is not going to be kind to W.

When I referred to experience, I wasn't thinking in terms of campaigning. Running for statewide office or for that matter, 'running ' for anything doesn't equate to experience. A "sitting" president that has been nothing but a cluster f*** on anything he has touched also does not qualify as experienced in my mind. I did see him as an empty suit and I still see him as an empty suit. His time in office hasn't changed that.

Ridge has always struck me as one of those loudmouth blowhard types who put on a tough guy act and try to intimidate.
