We like to keep our noses out of other's private lives.

It's called the Nunya principle, as in it's Nunya F*ckin' Business.
What exactly is her position on abortion? If it's simply that Roe v Wade needs overturning, then I agree completely, since it wasn't based in law, but rather was a raw act of despotism on the part of the US Supreme Court. The abortion question belongs at the state level, with each state making its own law on the matter.

Haven't followed it but didn't she recently make another gaff, this time about slaves or something?

She said the Founding Fathers were committed to eliminating slavery. She was right in the sense that many of them were so committed, but realized that the Southern states wouldn't join the union unless it was left to the states to decide on its legality individually. The anti-slavery Founding Fathers figured that once the union was formed, they could gradually work on eliminating slavery. They didn't realize quite how deeply it was going to become institutionalized in the South. Not really a gaff if you think about it that way. She probably should have said many of the Founding Fathers were committed to ending slavery.

Both Bachmann and Palin are far more intelligent than the loser Marxist Barrack Hussein Obamination!

So what is your point.

About 75% of the country wants LESS abortion and about 50% doesn't want abortion at all. And about 60% of the people consider marriage between a man and a woman.
If those are your issues that you are willing to elect Bachmann on.... Well enought said. Certinaly there are a few pressing innuse out there that keep you up at night and have nothing to do about a womans right to choose and marriage. Non starter issues for most of the country except the far right. Will not get you elected for sure.

Try againe!

Many owned slaves so how commited were they?
Bachman mis-spoke, no way! If she puts O'Donnell on her ticket we all will forget who Sarah was! Bachamn... the new Sarah, with only 1/2 the brains. Is that possible?

We can round and round but the point is both Ladies are brain less when it comes to American history especially of the revolutionary era and constitutional history.

The three biggies to me right now is the economy, the deficit, and empire building. Of the two Ladies, Bachman probably has the edge being a tax attorney on the economy. As to the deficit and empire building both are clueless but so isn't every man running except RP.

Good points and I agree with you. Both ladies are brain dead and should not be incharge of anything other than the PTA.

Anyone seriously running for President should have the brains not to say something that needs to be "explained" or "interpreted" by her handlers.

Until the right figures out who they are, they're going to have trouble winning no matter who they put up.



You have the one segment of the right who thinks US world domination trumps every other issue. You have another segment who views moral issues above all else. Then you have some who want as little government as possible in every aspect.



Those groups don't mesh very well as we've seen right here on a conservative dominated board.

Palin has got her American history exactly right ever time and that is proven fact.

Palin handled the Alaskan deficit better than any other Alaskan Governor and that is proven fact.

Anyone who denies or continues to dispute the proven factual record is either trolling or clueless.

Doesn't matter, anyway. Same people gonna be calling the shots.

Even a big chunk of the Democrats figured that out after peace loving Obama sent another 30,000 troops to Afghanistan.

Bachmann was clearly confused on the slavery issue, the follow up explanation was merely spin so that she wouldn't look so ignernt. Didn't fool anybody. She's not somebody I would want in charge of the PTA, as the education of our children is far too important to be entrusted to the likes of her.

Somebody above was wrong, if you can imagine that somebody on the internet could be wrong. McCain's fatal mistake was choosing Palin as his running mate. For many Americans, her stupidity killed the ticket. I could have voted for McCain, but when his choice was announced, I lost all faith in his judgement.

How much did Alaska's spending increase from her first day in office to the time she left?


Just the facts Bow.

McCain had bigger problems than just 'You Betcha' girl.


He wanted to increase our overseas involvement at a time our economy was tumbling. He ran to DC to help push the Wall St bailouts on the backs of the taxpayer. And of course, my personal favorite,...he said we needed illegals because Americans wouldn't pick lettuce for $50 an hour.
