What Critics Say. Bachmann’s former chief of staff Ron Carey, who resigned after five months, is not a fan:

While she passes the conservative test, my opinion from my association with her is she’s not going to be an electable candidate for us. And even if she were elected I don’t believe she would be ready for the position of the president of the United States.

Why not just talk of No. 3 or 4 then ?



Good old days of spin and no internet

1. Same With The Great Dennis Kucinich
Obama voted on change, but we must understand that because of the electoral process, special intererests, and the mindset of people we have to understand that change must come from us first.
We have to change the way we vote, we can't just keep voting for lesser evils, because the lesser becomes more and more worse every term and i'm sure we all realize her that unless we change the same will occur.

Dennis Kucinich 2012!
Everyone call his office and ask him to run for president and every single member MUST vote for him!

We can't keep voting for who the media decides to be the front runners and the most popular candidate.

Wouldn't voting for the most anti-war candidate be so much better than the one who is the most popular, just because you believe he says what you want to hear?

LOOK AT THEIR VOTING RECORDS!!!
Look at all the BS going on today, right now people who vote but don't review voting records with a fine comb are officially worse than people who do not vote!

And even then....

Yep. Ignored is a good place for him.

Now if we can just get them to ignore Palin (they are lately) and Bachmann.

6. of course, this is spun as "liberal bias" by the paulites...
Edited on Sun Aug-14-11 07:30 PM by JHB
...when in fact it's establishment bias (or what I used to characterize as "yuppie bias"). Liberals get shut out too.

For example, Jesse Jackson used to get strong showings in similar circumstances (circa 1988). But when the pundit/courtiers paid any attention, they asked "What does Jesse want", never considering "to be president" as an answer.

7. Do a little trolling and
you would be hard pressed to see any Paul follower claiming its a liberal bias. These guys know that they are hated even among conservative circles. The liberals are definetly not the ones booing him when the CPAC results were announced.

But then again I could be wrong

8. Then let me amend that to...
...the paulites that I have encountered attribute it to the Vast Left Wing Conspiracy For Liberals To Bring The world Under Their Heel, through their mouthpiece organ the Mainstream Liberal Media.

I'm sure there are some with a more nuanced understanding of the dynamics here, but they have plenty of the other kind in their ranks.

9. I've seen some, in all seriousness, call for a Paul/Kucinich ticket.
And no, I am not goddamn joking at all.

13. No candidate that is an advocate
for dismantling the American military empire has a chance. The opposition just has too much money and there is that little Citizens United factor. The MIC would do anything, including staging a false flag terrorist attack on U.S. soil.

The media is the king maker in American politics but luckily, they have mis fired a few times now. Remember the sup
I am rooting for him in the republican primaries and I hope he even still runs if he loses the contest. Obama v Paul debate would be a beauty to watch.
