Okay, I have officially stated that I support Herman Cain for the GOP nomination, and I am sticking by that pledge as long as he remains in the race. However, I am most interested in hearing from all the candidates, and evaluating who I think could be a suitable contender to Obama in 2012, and I have to say, Michelle Bachmann has really impressed me. She has been able to handle the petty criticisms from the left, the media, and even some on the elite right, who have thrown everything at her you can imagine, and she has done so with complete grace and composure, as she remains tenaciously focused on the conservative message and core conservative first-principles.
Looking ahead, I think she would make a very formidable opponent for Obama, because she exposes a very weak and distasteful underbelly of liberals, the contempt they have for women in general, when it comes to conservative women. Oh, they are fine with their Nancy Pelosis and Hilary Clintons.. Ruth Bader-Ginsberg or Sonja Sotomayor... those LIBERAL women are up on a pedestal, and honored like Liberal Queens... it's when you get to the Sarah Palins and Christine O'Donnells... the Michelle Malkins and Ann Coulters... that's when their REAL feelings toward women come out. Bachmann would be no different, the Liberals would expose themselves as a bunch of petty sexist bigots on almost a daily basis... Biden might even slip up and address Ms. Bachmann as "sweety" or something... you never know! Heck, Obama would have to struggle not to appear to be 'patronizing' her during a debate, and I think it would be a struggle for the Dems to find a way to attack her during the campaign without appearing sexist to a whole lot of voters they will need to win the election.
Sarah Palin has played an instrumental role in setting this up for Bachmann, because much of the petty sexist stuff has already been thrown at Palin, when it all comes rolling back out again, people are going to say... wait, isn't that what you said about the other woman too? It has become too much of a pattern, to predictable.. here is a bright intelligent woman who resounds with the people, and all they can come up with to criticize her for, is personal, petty, trite... nothing of substance. One of our own posters likes to refer to her as "Bach-to-mom" ...supposedly a play on "Octo-mom", the cable reality mom with 8 kids... because, you see, Bachmann, aside from being a U.S. Representative, is also a foster parent to a bunch of foster children. This is apparently seen as some sort of "insult" to make fun of her for being a foster parent. That's the kind of idiotic vitriol we can expect from the Liberal base, with Bachmann as the GOP nominee, and I think it plays very well FOR the GOP.
Of course, the GOP Elites, they are all telling us.... Nooooo.... Bachmann can't beat Obama! We need Romney...or maybe Pawlenty... but Bachmann just can't win the General election... But here's the thing... We ain't doing too well with who the GOP Elite pick for us. Think about it... they told us McCain was the guy, he's the moderate maverick who can bridge the gap between left and right... he's who we need! They told us...Dole is the man! Dole has all the experience and statesmanship... my god he even LOOKS like a president, don't he? Hell, the GOP Elite's Crowning Achievements are George W. Bush and his father! I think it's safe to say, they aren't doing well with who they pick for us. It's time for the voters to take charge and pick someone the GOP elite DOESN'T want, because they won't tow the party line and march in lockstep with the establishment. This narrows the field down a good bit, and leaves Bachmann as the best possible choice for the GOP nomination.
