Said Bachmann in Iowa: "We are social conservatives, and we will never be ashamed of being social conservatives."

I too am a social conservative. I too am not ashamed of being a social conservative. But I am not a statist, a fascist, or a "national security conservative." (And I didn't work for the IRS and vote for the Patriot Act either.)

Unlike Romney, Michele Bachmann has the force to stay the pace of a presidential campaign. Is she well enough known to be a winner? Probably not.

Thus far, the RNC has failed to enter any super-horse into this coming race. Perry could stir up a ruckus but he will trip over his Texas track record.

How about a Trump-Palin ticket? Let's bring entertainment to Washington :ha:

She backpedals for political expediency. :rolleyes: We don't need a leader who cannot judge right from wrong (Lev. 18:22, 20:13, 1 Kin. 14:24, Rom. 1:24, 26, 27, Prov 31:9). :vomit:

On homosexuality: “I am running for the presidency of the United States. I am not running to be anyone’s judge.” Story

I don't think she's a nut or any of the other pejoratives thrown her way. I just don't think she'll make it through the primary.

Michele Bachmann is NOT a conservative. She is a radical reactionary, and a fanatical theocrat. Supposedly,conservatives want to "preserve" the best of the past. Bachmann doesn't want to preserve the best of the past,she wants to go
back to the worst of the past,and then some.
Bachmann is a homophobic bigot,and so is her smarmy husband Marcus.Their favorite preacher is a fanatical homophobic piece of dirt by the name of Bradlee Dean,who would not oppose executing gay people in America, and who has said that Islamic countries are "more moral" than America because they do this.
Marcus Bachmann is a phony P.H.D. in psychology who tries to "pray away the gay" from people who supposedly want to "leave" homosexuality.
Bachmann is one of the leaders of the American Taliban. It's awful enough that she was actually elected a Minnesota congresswoman , but the thought of her as President is too awful to contemplate. America needs her like it needs the Bubonic plague !
The other Republican wannabees, Perry,Palin, Ron Paul, and the others, are not much better. Romney would be the least horrible of the lot, but we would still have the Repugnican party in charge, and more power for the religious right.
Sure, Obama is hardly perfect, but whatever his faults and mistakes so far,
America cannot afford to elect another Republican !
Even if you are a Republican and a conservative, DO NOT VOTE FOR BACHMANN FOR PRESIDENT if the wins the Republican nomination.
She is poison for America ! ! ! ! ! !
