Her voice is too high, and she piled onto Romney—along with Gingrich and others—for “vulture capitalism,” which I thought was opportunistic and vicious.

RE: How strange about how you use that little made up list as though it has meaning.

Well if it does not have meaning, then obviously our discussion is MOOT.

But I presented that list in the beginning to compare Bachmann with the rest of the people being touted 2016 candidates to show that between her and those people on the list, SHE’s BETTER.

At this point everything we’re discussing is hypothetical anyway, so there’s nothing strange about it.

RE: Too bad conservatives don’t feel about Bachmann play running for President like you do.

You seem to think you can speak for conservatives. You might want to comb through this particular thread to see several posters who DO support her.

You seem to forget that we are already looking back on the almost 60 year old woman’s political career, we have already witnessed the conservatives dropping her.

There is no presidency in her future.

Sixty is not OLD by today’s standards. And again, the comparison is with the list I gave you. You’ll first have to show me that she is old, unhealthy and feeble.

RE: There is no presidency in her future.

Not if she’s running against the list I presented.

If she were an option in 2016, it will depend on who her opponents in the primaries are.

I very much doubt she'll be a factor in 2016, but if she is and RINOs are our only alternative, I'm in.

That’s pretty much what I have been arguing the past n threads. :)

I think where we disagree is Bachmann’s chances. I believe she has little chance of getting nominated after gaffing herself out of 2012.

My argument is not about her chances, my argument is about her ability to lead and her qualifications to be President based on her principles and record.

In a hypothetical matchup with say, Jeb Bush, Romney (who is rumored to be interested in running again ), Chris Christie, or Rand Paul, I’d personally choose her over the lot.

Of course if Ted Cruz or Sarah Palin were to throw their hat in the ring, I’d take either of them over Bachmann.
