talk about bull’s-eyes being not being civil discourse.

Bachmann and Palin have been under the Obama, Soros, MSM Bullseye since they showed up in public and gave their conservative opinions.

Governor Palin, while in office, was sued every time she turned around. Be it the state trooper thing she was exonerated on. or the Bridge or the wolves or whatever...she was targeted and vilified.

I am surprised she held out as long as she did. and I must give Bachmann even more credit, with 8 years in the house under her belt, being persecuted the Chicago way....

bless the both of them.

“OK this should be a fun thread.”

Agreed. So let me join in the fun by saying that the article is both a Left-wing hack job AND full of truth.

In general, our side is weak in both strategy and tactics. Strategically, we are not prepared to win the war, nor even know how such wars are won. Tactically, our rules of engagement are more “honorable” than effective.

Concerning these two, I believe we should not allow women in combat - unless they are as ruthless, determined and focused on our cause as Hillary, Pelosi and their ilk.

BTW, you are establishing your opinion based on one comment on one thread. Perhaps you could give me the benefit of the doubt by reviewing my posting history? I’ve always been supportive of both Palin and Bachmann.

Factually incorrect. Bachman isn’t quitting. She will serve her term. She just isn’t going to run for another term. People are allowed to do that.

Absolutely, you deserve the benefit of the doubt... if that is even necessary from me. I’m just a little sensitive about protecting those with whom I share a Christian bond. My apologies if I incorrectly pounced and therefore misrepresented your motives.

Both Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin were political lightweights who were full of sound and fury and accomplished very little.

Really Pete? Then why are you still talking about them?

Considering Bachmann said she was only going to serve TWO terms and is bowing out at the end of her 4th...

Never mind. Haters gonna hate. I was proud to be able to vote for her and support her campaign.

Sad to see her go, but hopefully she'll still find ways to be a force for our side.

Thank God she hasn’t chosen to be a Dingell-berry and cling to the ass of Michigan for a freakin century.

The leftist narrative:

If they stay in their elected offices, they are oppressive hateful tyrants.

If they leave their elected offices, they are loser no-backbone quitters.

Got it.

My only motive was pointing out this absurdity. I, too, am a yesterday.

Under the current situation 2 terms isn’t enough to have much of an effect. The first term is spent as a freshman doing what the party tells you to do. The second term is only two years with little effect.

We need considerable changes to make 4 total years, effective years.

Good grief, these leftists are insane.

I'm beginning to believe it's a pathological disease that defines "progressives".....meaning they get progressively worse.......

Reflects the repulsive “professional political class” lefty mindset. Even though I’ll be sorry to have her solid voting record and leadership no longer in the House, I frankly ADMIRE Bachmann for not becoming a lifetime political careerist. Just like I totally ADMIRE Palin from being in an unwinable, boxed-in situation, and turning around and becoming an all-the-more effective guerilla fighter for conservative, Constitutional causes.

Let’s be realistic. They had nothing to offer but poop itself. The GOP needs builders not wreckers.

“It is one thing to raise millions from grassroots activists or appear on record numbers of TV talk shows or give rhetorically charged speeches before adoring crowds – it is quite another to do the hard work of governing.”

It certainly doesn’t bother the Lefties at The Hill a bit that this perfectly describes Obama. Rush has elaborated on this theme in the past month, that Obama continues his constant campaigning and does no governing, so his fans don’t blame him for all the obvious failings of his administration.
