Johnny,she also raised TWENTY THREE foster children in her home. I don't particularly like her politics, and I'd never vote for her in the primary. However, I'd like to see her get some credit, insome corners of this discussion, for the fact that she is obviously someone who cares deeply about needy kids. I've never seen the liberal media even mention her generosity, they are too obsessed with destroying her.

If you want to give someone credit for their generosity, support a democratic candidate.

Quite frankly, I don't care how many foster kids she raised or how nice of a person she is. I still think the woman is a terrible political candidate who doesn't stand a chance of gathering support from any groups that isn't hard lined christian and hyper conservative.

Democrats (Liberals) are generous with other peples money while Conservatives are generous with their own money... Huge difference.

maybe I missed it, but has anyone here argued in support of Bachmann as the Republican nominee outside being the "only" option and in lieu of 4 more years under the boot of the America hating radical leftist currently in the Whitehouse?

Does Bachmann have any friends that are well known domestic terrorists or mentors that are anti American radicals?...because the few disqualifiers that you've listed hardly measure up to those two and look how it worked out for obama

Well Johnny, when you post unflattering photos of her, it's kind of hard to tell what it is you're looking for in a candidate, since an unflattering photo doesn't say anything about her views on the problems we face, does it?

I agree she's way too radical, her campaign isn't going anywhere. I don't agree with her on some important issues, but her work with foster kids is nothing short of heroic. Absolutely heroic. While that may not mean anything to you, some people might find that worthwhile, some might even find it inspiring.

"If you want to give someone credit for their generosity, support a democratic candidate. "

Since every study shows that conservatives are more generous than liberals, I have no idea why I'd want to do that...in case you don't know this, liberals don't see fostering as the solution to unwanted kids, their solution is abortion.

Well, she is likely more experienced as an executive with a more complete resume at this stage in the elections than Barry was at this time in 2007.

Still ain't voting for her if I vote R in the primary.

BINGO. Besides, she probably won't be on the ballot when your primary comes around...

Huh? I'm not going to say Obama had a long legislative record but she hasn't really done anything of note in private or public. Perhaps her most notable moments were being pushed out in the House to make inflammatory statements.

I'm going to guess in your little corner of the world life is pretty good and Mom and Dad have looked out for you. Perhaps they still do. You have no idea of what being a foster kid is like.Wanting a family that loves you. Think before you type.
