Michele Bachmann enters U.S. presidential race

[Edwina's Secretary]

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...)

Sarah Palin is not looking for fame and power. She's already got it.
AND.....a body and face worth dying for.
Grrrrrr....come here Sarah....whip me, whip me.

Fame, yes. Power? Not so much - she even gave up the governership. So she now has to rely on the media for any power she might wield ... and we know what a fickle bunch they can be!

The media?

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.

Yes, but maybe the media shares the same opinion that I have about her.
And in my opinion, she's as good as anyone else on the field.

She knows how to stir the pot & that gets results positive & negative. I guess it depends on which side of the fence you are on?

I read the entire pledge, before it was altered. I think it's a load of crap.

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.

She's a doer, not a watcher.
Who cares what colour hat Paul Revere had on.

Well Ya Know I care what kind of color Paul's hat was. Paul Revere went to town a riding on a pony stuck a feather in his hat & called it all a bunch of bologna.
