View Full Version : My endorsement of a presidential candidate:

OK...there has been no official announcement yet. But my official endorsement for President of the United States goes to:
Michele Bachman 2012
She's conservative and she wasn't born in Hawaii...or Kenya...or whatever. So the whole birth certificate thing can finally go away.
I've been following her for a while. She's got all the appeal of Sarah Palin without the baggage and "inexperienced" label. (NOTE: I really like Palin but the media has done a masterful job of destroying her, even in the minds of people who should know better)
Bachman is a strong supporter of:
The military
Gun owners
Lower taxes
Exploiting US energy sources and developing alternate energy sources
Business (she's a business owner)
Health care reform through tax incentives, HSAs and competition in the health care provider industry
Legal immigration and border security - not amnesty for illegals - and enforcing existing immigration laws
Reforming government spending and holding government accountable for $$ spentI can find little, if anything, about her political views with which I disagree.
And she's ELECTABLE.
Michele Bachman on the Issues: (http://bachmann.house.gov/Issues/)
Let the flaming begin.
+ did you notice how (R) women just look better than (D) women?
I do like her stand on things.

I like her other than her stance on social issues and education, so she's a pass from me

I like Bachman, but I wonder if she wouldn't be more effective where she is.
We all tend to over blow the power and influence of the President and forget that the house and senate are where the real evil happens.
At any rate, I'm not all that thrilled with the field so far but I'm liking Herman Cain too (and I can't tell you how happy I am that both Trump and Huckabee are out ... now if we could just get that fool Romney out and get Newt back to writing books and making documentaries).
And the first conservative to start whining about how we need Chris Christy needs to be kicked in the junk ... the man is a gun grabbing, big government lib ... just because the libs in NJ are UberLibs makes him look like a conservative.
bachmann isn't as electable as you think. they have started the destruction of her already, much as they did with palin, and it will only get worse if she starts to seriously run. i don't mind her but she has a lot of enemies and you know how libs can be. itll get ugly.

Yeah, but they'll do that with anybody. And, frankly, I think they'll be too busy with Newt to spend as much time on Bachman as they'd like. I think Bachman is very electable...she's already proven that in MN.
Herman Cain might be a fine choice, too. But the fact he was on the Federal Reserve Board and backed TARP has me a little worried. And his writings on his website sound good...but I'm not finding a lot of specifics and that bothers me. His "The Issues" page is nothing more than a mini essay on how people are tired of politicians and what he would do and who he would consult when making decisions. It doesn't have specifics and that bugs me.
You're endorsing someone this far out from the election? I don't know anything about Michele Bachman so I better read up.
The candidates are few and far between and all I've seen so far are people who will lose to Obama.
As far as the press goes they'll lie about anything to get another marxist in office. The press is just feeding the tyrant in the hopes they'll be lined up against the wall last.

I say shitcan all of the professional politicos. The 2 party system is broken beyond repair.
With that being said I like Bachmann, she sounds as a person of conviction.
Bachmann and Alan West- there would be a ticket!

At the risk of making the dirty minded giggle; which one on top? :p
Again, I like both, but honestly I think they are both more valuable where they are. Now is not the time to be diluting the power of the constitutional conservatives in the legislature.

Right on! I like the idea of a Bachman/West ticket. Perfect for setting west up for 8 years after Bachman's 8 years.

More wishful thinking on my part than an endorsement. Besides...who cares what I think about presidential candidates? It's just fun and makes for conversation.

Couldn't agree more on shitcanning them. Doesn't matter to me which side they're on; they're all crooks nowadays...
And I do like Alan West, and I may actually vote for him, but only if he was for Pres, as I don't like Bachmann

Wishful is OK, I wish a lot of things.
I wish the Rs had put up a good person instead of a RINO like McCain. I knew Obama was going to win when the Rs put McCain up so I voted for the Constitution Party and I cannot remember who he was now.
I'm looking forward to figuring out who the candidates will be and who I'll be voting for. Your input and the input of other folks will help me figure that out.
Right now I'm pretty certain we have 4 more years of hope and change coming though. Sad to say that I don't have much hope for this country.

Problem is that our candidates tend to be chosen by Democrats in New Hampshire.
Something Republicans may want to familiarize themselves with is the concept of open primaries. And then work to end them.
Seriously, I spent an entire day in stupid caucuses (can we PLEASE get primaries here in Colorado?) and we ended up picking Romney ... which was kinda bleh ... but then because McCain won in New Fuckin' Hampshire, Romney dropped out of the race the next day ... the bum.
We outnumber New Hampshire by 4 to 1 (1.3million New Hampshirites vs 5 million Coloradoans) but our votes mean absolutely NOTHING because of the tradition of weighing New Hampshire first (and Iowa with their measly 3 million Iowans).
Frankly I'd prefer to see a national primary day where all the states run their primaries at once, but that probably won't happen.
I want Ron Paul. If the left can mess things up with Obamalamadingdong as their poster boy. I want to see what someone with freedom in mind can do with 4 years.

Clinton was our first Black president and now it seems he was the first openly gay one too. lol

not going to happen. he tries and tries but in the end he just takes away votes where they are needed. I love some of his ideas but it isn't going to happen.
now rand paul would be good. I think Bachman/Rand Paul ticket is good.
I get emails from both of them and keep up with both on a weekly basis. Definitely would be good for us.
But as everyone has said, the CIC is more of a poster boy that can veto some works of the house and senate and talk big. What I fear is a turn in the supreme court in the next 6 years...that is something we do not want and the reason a conservative needs to win 2012.
Another big focus should be the senate and get it turned around. If conservatives own the house and senate, the only thing in the way is the mighty pen. But even that can't keep everything from getting pushed through and if we own both house and senate, overriding the veto is a possibility. Either way, the main focus needs to be keeping the house or strengthening it, taking more seats in the senate and then trying to get the white house.

I want Ron Paul.
There are things I like about Ron Paul, but then he says something real stupid about foreign policy (like he wouldn't kill Osama) or pulls some other obnoxious Libertarian Macho Flash like calling for the legalization of heroin.
I just can't take him seriously.

It seems as though some of you think the president can't get much done in the way of getting legislation passed.
Let me remind you of Obamacare.
Let me also remind you of the great things Ronald Reagan was able to do through his influence over the House and Senate. The house was in D hands his first 6 years and both houses were D his last 2 years. Reagan was able to get great things done.
Don't kid yourself. The president has a lot of power and influence over legislation. Not to mention, a conservative president can VETO bad legislation from a left-leaning congress. That's oftentimes just as important as getting something passed.
I, for one, don't underestimate the power of the presidency. Can you say Supreme Court nominations?
