In a perfect instantiation of green conservatism, the Gingrich campaign has been fuelling a bandwagon entirely on Newt's hot air. It is nearly midnight, however, and therefore almost time for that bandwagon to turn back into a pumpkin (or rather, lemon), which will leave those conservatives who are a little too focused on the manufactured issue of "electability," and who had almost been persuaded to hold their noses and vote for Gingrich, to return to the drawing board in search of someone who can defeat President Obama. They will (and should) ultimately decide that the answer to their quest was standing before them all along, and that it requires no theoretical compromise after all. The answer is to support a genuine and unequivocal conservative, Michele Bachmann.
For while many of the Republican candidates might be able to defeat the disaster that is Obama, Bachmann would be able to do it in a manner most satisfying for conservatives, namely one which draws attention specifically to the nexus between constitutionalism and the moral tradition of American-style individualism.

What’s a ‘Bachmann?’
I would love for her to have that chance. She’s phenomenal!
I have already read the funny papers this morning, please no more.
lol
Bachmann supporters are starting to sound like Paul supporters.
Only one way...and that's not legal.
There’s always hope, FRiend. I assume by your Texas moniker that you’re a Perry supporter?
Michele Bachmann’s a liar. She should go back to doing her job in the House and stop hustling to be POTUS.
What bothers me about Michele, other than the fact that she is always first to tear down her Republican opponents, is that she has a problem getting, and keeping, her facts and stats correct.
she’s hyperbolic
no chance. people see thru that.
Bachmann? She’s a retard. Is she still in the race?
long ago I was :)
but Perry’s inability to string two sentences together without losing his train of thought forced me to consider other alternatives.
I now fully support Gingrich.
Michele’s husband needs to be vetted. There have been “whisperings” that he might be homosexual.
If she’s the nominee, she will indeed trounce Zero. So will any of the other Republican candidates, as El Rushbo has reminded us several times over the last few days.
So there’s no reason not to support the most conservative—Bachmann.
How Bachmann Can Defeat Obama?
She can start by not being at 4% and then she can actually run against Romney.
Better let her in on that at the next telephone booth meeting.
In order to assist in the defeat of Obama, Michele needs to stop beating up his potential opponent(s).
She has shown courage in running for high office and commitment to conservative ideals, but she is creeping me out with her Lady MacBeth impression.
Only an uninformed idiot would ask such a question.
Ref. your Post #12. As a fellow Texan, I dropped Perry for the same reason as you and went to Newt Gingrich also.
