Michele Bachmann enters U.S. presidential race
http://www.cbc.ca/gfx/images/news/photos/2011/06/13/li-620-bachmann-cp-rtr2n8sq.jpg
Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, an outspoken Republican with close ties to the U.S. Tea Party movement, announced Monday that she running for president, a candidacy that could further shake up a volatile fight for the Republican nomination.
The first woman to enter the 2012 race, Bachmann announced her bid during a Republican presidential debate in New Hampshire.
The third-term Minnesota congresswoman has been leaning heavily toward a run over the past few months, visiting early primary states, raising money and railing against U.S. President Barack Obama.
"Our country needs a leader who understands the hardships that people across America have been facing over the past few years, and who will do what it takes to renew the American dream. We must become a strong and proud America again, and I see clearly a better path to a brighter future," Bachmann said in a statement issued through her new campaign.
She brings high energy, charisma and proven fundraising ability to the Republican race to nominate a challenger to Obama. She also is known for unyielding stances, biting commentary and high-profile gaffes.
Bachmann is attempting the rare leap from the U.S. House to the presidency.
Despite having low seniority and few policy accomplishments, she has risen to prominence in Washington in part by her frequent television appearances and willingness to attack Obama in sharp terms.
Threat to other candidates
Her popularity with Tea Party activists and her credentials as a social conservative make her a credible threat to other candidates courting conservatives who make up the core of the Republican Party. Her impact may be felt most in Iowa, the first stop in the nomination battle where Christian evangelicals dominate.
While she hasn't built the broad campaign infrastructure of some Republican rivals, she has gradually patched together a blend of tested and fresh-but-determined advisers. She's also shown an ability to raise money from a network of small-dollar donors, including $13.5 million she put toward the nation's most expensive House race of 2010.
Bachmann spent the bulk of her political career in Minnesota and Washington as a minority party member, revelling in her role as a fierce voice of the opposition. She didn't let up when Republicans gained control of the U.S. House last fall, enhancing her standing through public breaks with party leaders after she was denied a place in caucus leadership.
The congresswoman has irked some party leaders by grabbing at the spotlight, such as the alternate televised response she delivered to Obama's State of the Union speech this winter.
Her willingness to speak her mind — she once accused Obama of running a "gangster government" — has brought her both loyal fans and plenty of critics.
Since first hinting at a presidential campaign ahead of an Iowa speech in January, she has made sustained trips there and to New Hampshire and South Carolina, all places with an outsized voice in the nominating process. She previously told reporters she would announce her intentions this month in her birthplace of Waterloo, Iowa.

Cute = increased popularity.
Increased popularity = a bloody good chance.
What I have seen so far in your elections is simply a popularity contest.
So what makes a good president ?? Being coloured ?? Being an ex cowboy movie star ?? Being cute ?? All sounds the same to me. ;)

The Ex-cowboy movie star was also the leader of the Union he was in and Governor of California well before he ran for the presidency, but people forget those two stops to make him seem like a lightweight.
We've also had former Congressmen, a former protoge of Adm. Rickover, former generals, and ex-suit salesmen.

But usually union leaders are only bully men who work for their own.
And as Governor of Cal, the man was elected because he was popular, a face that everyone knew. Same as Arnie the Terminated....big star....what does he know about politics ??? He married a Kennedy, that don't mean a thing when it comes down to the "proof of the pudding."
I heard you also had a peanut farmer in the White House ;)

Correct. He had also been Governor of Georgia. He graduated in 1947 from the United States Naval Academy and served on surface ships and on diesel-electric submarines in the Atlantic and Pacific fleets. He was involved with the beginnings of the nuclear sub program in the US - under Rickover.

One president was a former co-owner of a ML baseball team and an oil company, there was a mining engineer, a number of teachers, a number of farmers and a tailor who did not learn to read until his wife taught him.
It is interesting that people complain about career politicians out of one side of their mouth and NOT a career politician out of the other.
Of the people, by the people and for the people. And "the people" includes soldiers, farmers, engineers, movie stars, union members and sales people as well as lawyers and congresspersons.
But really....coloured???? I thought my 90 year old father was the only person left who used that word in reference to a person's race.

Well I suppose there are the militant few who want more and more no matter how much they get, but overall here in Australia, employers look after their employees pretty well. And of course the Goverment has a hand in it with Unfair Dismissal and Enterprise Bargaining Legislation, set rates of pay for all those employed by the way of workplace awards. Yup, I believe the majority are satisfied with that.
The day of the heavyhanded union is finished in this country, so all of the Irish Union reps can go elsewhere to cause trouble....maybe even get a job where they'll have to work to earn their pay.

Oh great another one ...
Please leave religion OUT of politics. This is NOT Iran or Iraq.
Seperation of church and state that is what America stands for.
That is what America was founded on.
The bible has as much place in US politics as the Koran.
Freedom of religon, freedom from religion.
The law should be fair to all, regardless of what you believe or don't.
And no special treatment should be given either.
When will people learn that adding anyones morals to laws is the end of any freedom for all? Just look at the Middle East.

She signed this pledge....
The Candidate Vow
1.Personal fidelity to my spouse
2.Respect for the marital bonds of others
3.Official fidelity to the U.S. Constitution, supporting the elevation of none but faithful constitutionalists as judges or justices
4.Vigorous opposition to any redefinition of the Institution of Marriage – faithful monogamy between one man and one woman – through statutory, bureaucratic, or court-imposed recognition of intimate unions which are bigamous, polygamous, polyandrous, same sex, etc.
5.Recognition of the overwhelming statistical evidence that married people enjoy better health, better sex, longer lives, greater financial stability, and that children raised by a mother and a father together experience better leaning, less addiction, less legal trouble, and less extramarital pregnancy
6.Support for prompt reform of uneconomic, anti-marriage aspects of welfare policy, tax policy, and marital/divorce law, and extended “second chance” or “cooling-off” periods for those seeking a “quickie divorce”
7.Earnest, bona fide legal advocacy for the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) at the federal and state levels
8.Steadfast embrace of a federal Marriage Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which protects the definition of marriage as between one man and one woman in all of the United States
9.Humane protection of women and the innocent fruit of conjugal intimacy – out next generation of American children – from human trafficking, sexual slavery, seduction into promiscuity, and all forms of pornography and prostitution, infanticide, XXXXXXXX and other types of coercion or stolen innocence
10.Support for the enactment of safeguards for all married and unmarried U.S. Military and National Guard personnel, especially our combat troops, from appropriate same-gender or opposite-gender sexual harassment, adultery or intrusively intimate commingling among attracteds (restrooms, showers, barracks, tents, etc.); plus, prompt termination of military policymakers who would expose American wives and daughters to rape or sexual
harassment, torture, enslavement or sexual leveraging by the enemy in forward combat roles
11.Rejection of Sharia Islam and all other anti-woman, anti-human rights forms of totalitarian control
12.Recognition that robust childbearing and reproduction is beneficial to U.S. demographic, economic, strategic and actuarial health and security
13.Commitment to downsizing government and the enormous burden upon American families of the USA’s $14.3 trillion public debt, its $77 trillion in unfunded liabilities, its $1.5 trillion federal deficit, and its $3.5 trillion federal budget
14.Fierce defense of the First Amendment’s rights of Religious Liberty and Freedom of Speech, especially against the intolerance of any who would undermine law-abiding American citizens and institutions of faith and conscience for their adherence to, and defense of, faithful heterosexual monogamy
A most anti-woman, anti-First Amendment document! Freedom of Speech if I like what you say - no Freedom of Speech if I don't. Freedom of Religion unless I do not like your religion (e.g. it is not MY religion...) Picking judges based not on qualifications of the candidates but on the perceived idealogy.
And #12 - oh my....and this one...

ES, while I dislike Rep. Bachmann for a number of reasons (any candidate with the concept that we're going to fix the federal budget issue without tax increases is a loon), you could go into any party's platform and find statements to take issue with.
I'd like a ref. to that "pledge", because Sharia is PART of the Islamic faith, not a branch of it. If that's the actual wording, any candidate who signed it should be out early in the primaries because they are idiots to sign a pledge with such a basic factual error.

It will never function properly as long as your judges remain politicised.

That pledge has damned near nothing to do with presidential powers.
Politicized judges? they're not elected positions at the federal level, they're nominated. WTH are you talking about there?
wombat2u2004
07-10-2011, 11:10 AM
Politicized judges? they're not elected positions at the federal level, they're nominated. WTH are you talking about there?
YES !!!! A Politicised Judiciary !!!!
I'm talking about your mentioning candidates being "tested" on the Separation of Powers that is supposed to exist in your country. Would that help the situation that exists ??? A system that is not a true Separation of the Powers ???
Your judges at the Federal level are nominated by the President...does he not represent a political party ??? And therefore would he not nominate those judges who would best suit his interests ???
In Federalist 78, Alexander Hamilton argued for the independence of judges. He believed they should be appointed to serve "during good behavior" and insulated from the political process, as this helps them check the legislative and executive branches. The main reason for this is that it is more difficult for a judge that is affiliated with a political party and in need of campaign funds from that party, to pass rulings against their Party leaders in the Congress, or executive branch.
So what I'm asking is.....would candidates benefit at all by being tested ???
Lady's Human
07-10-2011, 11:46 AM
Yes, judges are nominated by the executive branch, however, a nomination to the federal bench does not equal a spot on the federal bench.
After nomination, the nomination is taken to the Senate, where the candidates (if the Senate hasn't decided to take their ball and go home) are voted on by the Senate.
We have an independent judiciary at the FEDERAL level. However, the state judiciaries are a mixed bag. Some judges are elected, some are appointed, depending on the state.
What you missed in my comment about testing the candidates, Wom, is that most of the "pledge" signed by Rep. Bachmann has nothing at all to do with the powers granted the president by the Constitution. The President has nothing to do with state legislation. The President cannot Constitutionally introduce an amendment to the Constitution. The President has a part in the budgetary process, however, all revenue bills have to originate in the house. Welfare policy at the federal level is a revenue bill, and as such is the duty of the House. Resisting a Federal judicial decision is grounds for impeachment, if the judiciary decides that the Constitution says XYZ about an issue, then the executive branch is beholden to abide by that decision.
The whole "Pledge" is a miasma of contradictory statements which have zero relevance to a candidate running for President.
I'm not asking to make a civics test a qualifier for running, however, if a candidate took the test and failed it, it might tell the voters something about the candidate they were supporting. If a candidate can't pass a high school civics test (as Rep. Bachmann obviously couldn't, judging by the pledge she signed), should someone really be supporting them as a candidate for the highest office in the land?

People who go into public service - whether that be a military career or a political/policy making career - do it for the same reasons - love of country, a desire to service the country, a passion for the career.
And they believe they can do it better than someone else.

She, and that ridiculous "pledge" are well....ridiculous. It goes against what our country and our constitution are suppose to stand for - not to mention contradictory and...well... factually wrong in some instances.
I understand they have removed from the preamble the section about African-American families being better off under slavery than today.
It is just wrong on so many levels. Blathering on about scientific evidence - from people I am willing to bet want Creationism taught in schools despite the...lack of scientific evidence? Double negatives and outright bizarre statements...
While I accept there are some candidates who are in it for power or fame - Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich come to mind instantly - they usually are not prepared to do the hard work and commitment a national campaign requires.
Speaking of which...I see my Newsweek magazine this week will have Ms. Palin on the cover and an interview with her about how she believes she could win national office. That seems to me to be confirmation she will not run. I doubt she wants to prove herself wrong (but of course it would be the fault of the MSM she courts so hard or someone...anyone's fault but hers...:rolleyes:)

Some guy made a full length movie about her called "Undefeated" (which I find a rather stange title considering she...LOST...and supposedly gave up her governorship because people were picking on her...) Is that what you mean by media?
Power does not just mean the ability to "push the button." I believe she wants the power to drive the public discourse -- without having to do any of the heavy lifting - the work involved in a campaign - not to mention the hard work of being in office.

Mitt Romney is not going to sign it.
Asked about Romney’s position on the pledge, spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom e-mailed back this response: “Mitt Romney strongly supports traditional marriage but he felt this pledge contained references and provisions that were undignified and inappropriate for a presidential campaign.”
I don't agree with Mr. Romney on much, but he's got my vote on this subject.
