Choice? Let’s see now. I can drive a 10 year old pickup and save $450 on license tabs and find myself stuck on the highway someplace with a broken down truck... or pay $550 for some security on the road.

Nice choice.

You are so wrong about so much your head must spin.

“My assessment of this nebish dropped a 1000 fold when I witnessed his vicious personal attacks on Bachmann in the Iowa debates.”

Same here, and I an mot a Bachmann enthusiast. “You tried and failed” was the best he could throw at her? In a time when the ‘leaders’ are undercutting little accommodationist kapos like Boehner and McConnell and their favored lackeys, trying at all stands out from the herd. That she tried repeatedly is a mark of honor.

Not relevant to their political strengths, but I also thought she could beat him up were she so inclined.

The perfect candidate:

Newt’s brain. Cain’s optimism. Romney’s appearance/good looks. Sarah’s survival skills. Bachman’s focus. Perry’s military & executive longevity as Texas gov. Santorum’s conservatism. Huntsman’s foreign policy experience.

With a stunning stage presence and speaking voice of Clint Eastwood.


I think I just wet myself.

Oooo...I’m jealous of those cool temps! Well, Savannah is on
the coast, so maybe that’ll help.

Y’all be careful! I hope to see pictures! :)

Rather than running against Oboma, he seemed hell bent on destroying Bachman. He seemed almost obsessed with her. During the debates, he was acting like a real jerk.

RINO behavior. They have no enemies to the Left, only enemies on the Right, which tells a lot about their true colors.

Compare McCain's polite and conciliatory behavior towards Obama in 2008 with his later behavior towards his Republican Senate primary opponent in 2010.

And her response was just as machine...and for the most part untrue, or half true....he lost me with the attack, she lost me with her response...but facts don’t matter any more- just emotions and by golly she really told him off.

Bachmann/Cain?

I love it. Problem is that no one in that combo has executive experience at a level that lends itself to running a nation.

My dream team;

POTUS - Bachmann

VP - Perry/Palin

State - McCotter

Secretary of Energy - Palin/Perry

Defense - Former Congressman Duncan Hunter

Secretary of the Treasury - Romney

Health and Human Services - Santorum

Commerce - Cain

And just to piss off a lot of establishment types, Wrong Paul to head the Fed.

I disagree.

Bachmann is the REAL thing. A Great American and an American Hero.

She would make a Great President.

I fell in love with her when I saw her take little Timmy Geithner apart in the Congressional Hearings before he was approved. She asked him WHERE in the Constitution he found the authority to do what he was proposing. He was speechless. Guess he never read it.

From that point on, when she distanced herself from the usual pact of GOP machine sycophants who were ready to rubber stamp him like Boner and his bunch, she showed she stood for something more than political parties and canned responses.

Hmm ~ RINOs in this race. Only one to ever run for public office as a Democrat is........ Ricardo Peri...... right?

That’s sounds like Ronaldus Magnus’ promise ~ and you got a problem with that?

You're really too clever by half this morning.

FReegards!

That was quick! Of course, with Bachmann leading, he’s got the edge for VP nomination if/when her candidacy fades. Thanks GRRRRR.
