Bachmann may be the very wild card candidate for the 2012 elections indeed; though I have to wonder with the way the admin is still showing the narcissistic behaviour and confidence of Obama what else they have up their sleeve? Are they just that confident or is the overthrow about to come to play faster than we know of — say over Thanksgiving or Christmas?

 true la la exceptional.. ask the biceps.

I like Michelle Bachman, but not as president. Herman Cain to me is the true conservative leader. He was viciously attacked by the MSM, and the conservative media were quick to abandon him. Herman Cain has the bold ideas and is outside of Washington. Michelle Bachman is still inside Washington and does not have fresh new ideas. I like her as leader in congress. Santorum is a conservative, but he as politician all over him. I am tired of politician. We need a fresh vision. I thought that is what Glenn Beck stood for.  It does me that Glenn Beck has not stood beside his friend, who is a true refounding father….Herman Cain.

All the GOP candidates have their fair share of knowledge, I think Newt has more than the others , However; Not one of them has the knowledge and leadership as Congressman LTC Allen West.
If Allen West doesn’t run, we won’t be voting for the GOP, we’ll be voting against Obama ..
That will do nothing for the moral of this country and give us the same feeling of doom in the end.

What is great about Michelle Bachman is she works to reasonably sway the person she is speaking to on a subject. She is very skilled and appears to be focused, calm, sure of her position. She appears to use a type of deliberate language to make her points so she comes off well studied, well informed, and well reheased to make her case. It is not as thought she has to read what she thinks. She knows what she thinks therefore she does not have weigh her thoughts as she speaks. She’s done that already. 

While I respect Glenn and feel he, like all of us, has the right to vote his conscience, I could not at this time, in good conscience, vote for any of the GOP candidates — or anyone else for that matter — for President.  Bachmann has yet to prove herself to me.  It is one thing to talk one-on-one with Glenn and convince him, but she needs to convince me and a lot of other potential voters that she is the one who can do it.  Until she manages that, I am left wondering why she is sticking in there for the insults and the difficulties, because it takes a lot more than a thick skin to be the President of this country.

she is allright to bad she is low in the polls.

I am a Romney supporter because he has a strong moral compass and he also has the private sector economic background along with his 4 years as governor but I also could easily vote for Michelle for the reason’s Glenn stated. Michele is bright,articulate,consistent and Michele is certainly not afraid to speak her mind. Michele is definitely not a politician that can be persuaded with Washington perks and money to change her votes. Michelle is a true conservative. Hey the perfect ticket would be Romney/Bachman.

Michelle Bachmann is a great candidate and what comes out of her mouth is honest and intelligent.  I fear, however, that she does not stand a chance.  The Romney push is strong and getting stronger.  Any candidate rising has been shot down with Mr. Cain seeming to last the longest.  Amazing how we have not heard any more from the accusatory bimbos.  The left did their normal Clarence-style dirty work successfully again.  I think the new political ad in New Hampshire by Romney is great and exactly what Michelle said.  Paraphrasing—’we are in it to replace Obama, not trash each other’.  Right now Michelle, Cain and Gingrich are high on my list.  We have to replace the dems—leftist that do not have the country’s well being in mind–only changing the American society to their socialistic liking.

Glenn, If President Bachmann asked you to be her press secretary, how would you respond, after you finish laughing?

I don’t think the average American realizes this next election is a life or death event for the country, an end of the road turning point like 1933 in Germany. With this in mind the people are going to have to be passionate about holding the candidates feet to the fire, “demand” answers on positions and get them in writing …… let them know the people are fooling around no longer.

I find it interesting, and disappointing, that someone who professes such a respect for the Constitution isn’t backing the ONLY candidate who has been totally faithful to the Constitution for the last 30 years, Ron Paul. Ron Paul is the only candidate in the race who will actually uphold his oath of office to uphold and defend the Constitution which he has done consistently for decades. No other candidate can make that claim. Very disappointed in Glenn.

Bachmann has been my choice for over a year. Some how, those that want a real Conservative in the White House, must get both money and spread the word. She would do the job for those of us in the Tea Party.

Sorry, but I’d not be comfortable with a woman president.

It really comes down to the brainwashed Americans who believe more in glitter than substance. Although Michelle Bachmann could be THE best candidate of the whole bunch, including democrats, she stand very little chance against the powerhouse liberal media, who are destroying her every day. Just listen to what they are doing, including the latest appearance on TV. This is precicely why Washington will continue to operate like they have been for so long now. Just look at what Russians are doing to Obama, they could teach Americans a few lessons, but that finger show will NOT hit the main media and most Americans will keep their heads in the sand. Also, remember what the media did to Sarah Palin, another speaker from her heart and a true patriot. The next American revolution MUST come against Washington, whereby all the bad apples are kicked out, but there is too much money being thrown around to stop that from happening. The same crap will continue even if a republican candidate wins the next election.

I disagree/ She does not show leadership skills needed Ron Paul is my vote.

I agree. Paul is the only one telling us what we NEED to do. The rest are just progressive republicans.

The all show signs of conservatism and claim to be constitutionalists. But Ron Paul is the ONLY one who follows the constitution to a tee. His foreign policy is exactly the way it was intended. He’s the ONLY candidate in my opinion.

She should have fully disclosed the farm subsidies.

Ron Paul has some good ideas on cutting spending and auditing the Fed, but his position on Israel, Iran and other foreign policy concerns disqualifies him from serious consideration.  I think that he has caused more focus on issues that others would rather ignore so he’s been a positive influence on the process but if we expect to win and get a strong conservative in the WH, we better start rallying behind the true conservatives and Michelle Bachmann is certainly a solid choice in my book.

bachmann is exactly like obama when it comes to iran and israel – she would use every arsenal against iran as stated in a recent interview.  what a freak – i don’t want anyone near the wh that will pull the trigger at any moment, especially one that is entirely based on their religious beliefs that they will be saved if they do what nethayanu wants.

Not voting for anyone isn’t really an option.  It is the cowardly way out of your responsibility.  Just make the best decision you can make and vote on trust – and nothing else.

Bachmann is sticking in there because she wants to serve our country.  A novel desire.  Doesn’t happen very often anymore.

But what business do we have with Iran? Israel is not a state in our union. Why should we be involved in that?

The mainstream media has destroyed Bachmann.  I believe she will NOT be the nominee for the Republican party.  They did the same thing to Sarah Palin.  The Obama owned media will see to it that their messiah is re-elected.  Very sad conclusion for this country.

I think Bachmann is a great candidate who posess the values and skills that we need. She is consistent with Conservative ideals and loves America. I hope more and more people see her as Glenn did.

I have seen a lot of support for Allen West (who is not running) but not as much for Bachmann. Why? Unless I have missed something, they have (West and Bachmann) come down on the same side on issues and voted the same way. Shouldn’t support for West, who is NOT a candidate, then translate to support for Bachmann, who IS?

We neeed to elect someone who will stop the Red Chinese from ripping us off.How can people not see that we have exported are wealth production(manufacturing).BUY AMERICAN if we want to stop the current decline,,,,stop the free trade madness.

What, exactly has Michele done for you to say that she has not followed the constitution?  I like Ron Paul too, but I don’t think he’s the ONLY person on the entire planet that follows the constitution like most of the Ron Paul supporters make it sound like. 

In all seriousness kingwassabi, please give me one or two examples of what Michele Bachman has done against the constitution.  I have really looked into her past and can find nothing on my own.   

She’d be a great President. 

Because, Ben, Ron Paul would throw Israel under the bus and he could care less if Iran deploys a nuclear bomb to your back yard. Other than that Ron Paul is not so bad.

Obama should have disclosed that with him we have no hope and no change – just corruption as usual.

And we can expect of this if B HO wins a second term.. http://hotair.com/archives/2011/11/22/air-force-bounces-us-manufacturer-for-brazilian-competitor/ does anyone see the insanity this?

Um, as far as Iran goes, maybe because they hate our guts, want to blow the entire US to smithereens and are building nuclear weapons?  Isreal, I’m not so sure about… 

Why does Iran hate us? Hmmmm.
Maybe because we keep screwing around in things that have nothing to do with us? Maybe?

The first time I saw Michelle Bachman was in the clip where she says she feels like she’s a “correspondent reporting from behind enemy lines.”  She had me on her side from that moment, and what I’ve seen from her since has only reinforced my belief that she truly “gets it.”

Her foreign policy. She would continue down the same path as the rest of the progressives. She’s great on some of the economic stuff. More so than the rest of the candidates. But we NEED to end these pointless unconstitutional wars (which Bachman won’t do). We NEED to end the federal reserve which is unconstitutional and I don’t believe Bachman would do.

If Michele Bachmann voted for THE PATRIOT ACT, I cannot support her.

Do research on The Patriot Act..It might just open your eyes.  If I didn’t
care so much for America, I wouldn’t bring this up.
If she voted for this act and didn’t read it than she shouldn’t be a congress-
womanl.

We need real people for President.  Unless she rescinds her stand on this
issue, she will be off my list of candidates. 

God Bless America

Bachman wears the same blinders to the Zionist agenda that Beck does. At least Paul would truly put America first and keep a clear head when it comes to Israel. 

Thanks for pointing out about Ron Paul’s foreign policy. Except in his own writing, he’s not had the opportunity to fully explain himself on that score and I think most folks misunderstand it.  He’s not so much against war as that he insists it be Constitutionally declared by Congress.  He would use letters of marque and reprisal rather than “kinetic military actions.”  He doesn’t believe we should neglect our interests abroad, but that we should avoid (especially militaristic) entanglements.  I recommend everyone go to Ron Paul’s Texas Straight Talk and read a bunch of his stuff.  He’s done an excellent and thoughtful job of figuring out how to apply the Constitution, as written, to handle the various problems we have faced in modern times. 

Is Israel plotting to takeover the world, or is it just the Jews?

  Deciding on a candidate at this point in the debates should drive a person to their knees and ask God for the wisdom and knowledge to help decern who to vote for.  We cannot let media and progressive political correctness sway our minds and delude us from Truth.  Squabbeling is only breaking down the Republican momentum helping Obama– but try to single out who is best qualified!  Let your yea be yea, and your nay be nay!  Stand up and be counted!  Our future depends upon this next president!

because they are our allies and the promise to aid our allies shouldn’t be broken for any reason not to mention do you really believe if I ran gets a nuke they will actually stop with Israel they want to destroy America just as bad

I like her too but I also like Santorum.  Didn’t Glenn compare him to Washington also, just a few days ago?  A Santorum/Bachmann ticket would be perfect.

Though distinct, Zionists and Israel have shared enough in common that Bachman and Beck should be concerned when those intentions conflict with the best interests of America. Paul would be a much better choice in this regard.

Do a little fast-forwarding in your brain. What happens when Iran instigates a war with Israel? Do you really think it stays contained? Do you really think its possible in this day and age to completely isolate yourself from sever global conflict when you’re the United States? Without even getting into how our non-involvement would be spun to call us heartless in the face of massive bloodshed and possible genocide, how long do you think it would take until we were dragged into the conflict? Do you really think they Iran only has beef with Israel? Before we were attacked? Remember Pearl Harbor? Remember how Nazism spread throughout Europe while we sat on the sidelines? Remember how it took Japan attacking us to make us realize as the United States, THE Shining City on the Hill, we are UNABLE to do nothing. And don’t fool yourself into thinking this all about one nation vs another nation. This is WAY beyond that. This is truly Good vs Evil. Liberty vs Tyranny. Life vs Death. The ruling class in Iran (and many other places in the region) are clear about their motives. Ron Paul is either breathtakingly ignorant or breathtakingly naive about the true long-term, genocidal motives of Iran, radical Islam, Madisim, the Caliphate and Sharia Law. These people are not messing around. They believe their God DEMANDS it.

Totally agree with you, Glenn.

ahmedinutjob actually believes if he creates enouh bloodshed he will summon the so called 12th imam and he doesn’t give a damn who it is he destroys including his own damn country when will you Ron Paulers realize that he is just fucking nuts

There’s no maybe about it. The answer is absolutely not. Just listen to their own words. And not the words they say when in front of Western media. Listen to what they say in THEIR langauge in THEIR media. Go to MEMRI.org and inform yourself.

Get ready for some vicious, hateful emails by the Ron Paul people. The most vicious comments, on any website or blog, are from the Paul people. Frankly, that is very sad. We ALL want the best for our beloved nation. …I believe Michele Bachmann is a true Conservative that has a voting record in Congress that proves her devotion to the people and to our Constitution. She was the loudest voice among the candidates that stood STRONG for THE PEOPLE against Obamacare. I was just 1 of the 40,000 to 50,000 people that came to Washington for the Code Red Rally, trying to stand against this takeover! It was a blessing to have her voice at such a crucial time. I believe that Ms Bachmann loves this nation and will do everything in her power as President to protect our Constitution and defend America, as well as create an atmosphere that will allow our nation to prosper again. She will DO NO HARM. God Bless The USA.       

I’d rather see Bachmann at the top of the ticket.

Very disappointing. There’s only one candidate that speaks openly about closing the fed, smaller federal government, more power to the states, wants to cut spending, and follows the constitution no matter where it leads… Ron Paul. He is the closest you will get today to a founding father. He is consistent, does not change his views for anyone, and wants to focus on America until we are stable again. I may be wrong here, but I believe the only reason you (Glenn) do not side with this man is his feeling on Israel, that he would like to see them stand up on their own two feet. This is not a bad thing. They have an air force, a very strong ground force, and nuclear capability, which country around them can say that? And who is America to embargo ANY nation from what is their God given right, that is the same for any man, Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We must stop global patrolling, maintain our allies by defending them if agreed by congress, and stop giving people around the world reasons to hate us. They don’t see the money we donate around the world, they do see the news where we bomb the hell out of a country. 
 
Reasons why Bachman is not the right choice….

“Bachmann proposes implementing a tax system that would encourage “family formation.”  The context of Bachmann’s remarks make it clear that she would like to either give tax credits, or lower tax rates to people who are married as opposed to those who are single. 

Bachmann’s proposal stands in stark contrast to the small government tone of the rest of her speech.  Just minutes later in the speech Bachmann states that she would scrap the current tax code because it is too complicated.  Then Bachmann would presumably implement a system in which the government tried to encourage “family formation” through the tax code.”

“Iraq Troop Withdrawal (HR 2237):

Bachmann voted ‘no’ to withdraw soldiers from Iraq in spite the fact that the Constitution requires that Congress declare war (not merely to give assent to Presidential prerogative) and the Iraq war was not declared by Congress.
 
Iran Military Operations (HR 1585):

Speaking of the imperial presidency, during debate over the 2008 defense authorization bill, an amendment was offered that would have required then-President Bush to get specific congressional authorization (i.e., he could not simply cite the AUMF as a Caesarian grant of power) before engaging in military ops against Iran. Again, the “Constitutional Conservative” ignored the Constitution and voted against this very common sense amendment.

Warrantless Surveillance (S 1927)

This bill – the so-called “Protect America Act” — retroactively legalized George Bush’s massive violations of the FISA act (as it was written at that time) where Bush had illegally ordered en masse surveillance of the electronic communications of US persons without either a FISA court warrant, or any pretense of specificity or probably cause as required by the 4th amendment.

Apparently the 4th amendment means very little to our “Constitutional Conservative” when the “war on terror” is thought to require a surveillance state.

Peru “Free Trade” Agreement (HR 3688):

As with all so-called free trade agreements in the modern era, this one also set up a supra-national enforcement body with the presumed power to supersede state and federal laws. It is for this reason that even a staunch free-trader like Ron Paul refuses to support these type of ‘free trade’ agreements. But for some reason, Michele “Constitutional Conservative” Bachmann is not troubled by these supra-national bodies, in spite of the fact that Article VI states that the Constitution is “the supreme law of the land” and makes no exceptions for its
subordination to supra-national trade enforcement bodies.

Head Start expansion (HR 1429)

Frankly, I was shocked to see this one. Here we have our Constitutional Conservative voting to expand federal funding for the education of pre-K kids and for more social service involvement in the lives of the targeted families (to help the kids, of course). Given Ms. Bachmann’s background as an activist with a rather excellent education organization in MN that was very concerned over the federalization of education (i.e., the Maple River Education Coalition), I never expected to see her vote in this way.

Supplemental Appropriation (HR 2346)

More silly “emergency” funding, this time for unconstitutional wars, foreign aid, and the alleged flu pandemic – all of which is not authorized areas of expenditure by the Constitution. Yet Bachmann voted for this bill.

Foreign Aid (HR 3081)

Is there a form of unconstitutional spending more easily recognized and eliminated than foreign aid? How could a Constitutional Conservative vote for foreign aid? Clearly she holds some other authority higher than her oath of office.

Patriot Act extension (HR 3961)

When it comes to search and surveillance powers, a true Constitutional Conservative instantly knows that the 4th amendment, with its standards of probably cause and specificity, determine what type of legislation is allowed.
The Patriot Act clearly violates these constitutional qualifications, yet Bachmann voted to extend certain provisions of it. A fickle constitutionalist indeed.

BTW, during the renewal fight of earlier this year, she voted again in the same way.

Michele Bachmann is many things: A gifted – if not crafty — politician, a committed mother concerned enough about the proper upbringing of her children to home and privately school them, an obviously committed Christian, and so on.  But, as should be clear from her voting record, a “constitutional conservative” she is not.”This is just some of the reasons i could find in 5 minutes, read them, and copy and paste them. More digging needed?RON PAUL is the ONLY strict constitutionalist. Oh, what’s MB view of the fed?  …exactly.

Who do you think is the grand father of the tea party… Ron Paul. 

Look above at my post, I believe I give more than two… maybe 6 or 7……

Hmmm, maybe a Newt Gingrich and Michelle Bachmann team…or a Michelle Bachmann and Newt Gingrich team?   And I also sincerely hope that both Mr. Cain and Dr. Ron Paul will also be in positions of power in the hoped-for Republican (or Tea Party) landslide!   I really cannot stomach either Perry or Romney…all I can think of when I see them is the names “Rhino” or “RepubliCRATS”!      We need intelligent people with character and a full understanding of a number of types of expertise to clean up the mess the last few administrations have created.

I think Bachmann is the most Conservative and I have leaning her way since day one. Problem is she has no traction at this time. Fiscally she might be the best and will definetly try to repeal nobamacare.

wow….Bachmann is exactly like Obama when it comes to Israel and Iran?

I don’t know what media you watch/listen to or read….but I suspect you are a little confused about what Obama is doing.

Do you want to try again?

Thank You Glenn Beck,

I have had great faith in the two momma grizzlies from jump street.  I like Ms. Bachmann’s candid views of what ails this nation . . . namely the Kleptocrats and their Klepto-In-Chief, Barack Hussein Obama.  Of all the candidates I believe she and Herman Cain are the only two true conservatives.  I like Newt, but he schmoozes with the enemy to much to my liking, though it won’t hurt my feelings if he gets the nomination.  I base my evaluation of the GOP candidates from a Christian point of view.  Ms. Bachman and Ms. Cain seem to fulfill the scriptural modus operand.

You also have to consider who Fallon is as well.  He is a far left entertainment mongrel that will use conservatives as carpet in order to get a laugh.  Their base nature is in their psychological DNA.  Like the rest of fallen humanity, he will have to answer to a higher authrority at the end of his gig here on Earth.  The results don’t look promising.

The Turban Torpedo

I like Ron Paul politically… but he is off his rocker when it comes to the whole abortion issue.  The guy supports personhood and thinks a fertilized egg should have rights.  In my opinion, this is insane and Government should not interfere with the decisions between a woman, her health and her doctor.  (I’m a Catholic conservative, but come on people, Government has no right to interfere here.  If a woman is raped and doesn’t want to bring a child into this world, then it’s her decision.  Not mine, not yours, and certainly not our government’s!)

Great post!

I agree with Glenn and still holding out some hope that we someday may actually have a candidate with the quality of character Michele Bachmann possesses. It is pretty obvious that Washington’s “old Boy” network is long overdue for a total overhaul and Michele Bachmann would be a great starting point.
Doug Zeiger
Saint Clair Shores, Michigan

Ron Paul is my choice if I HAD to choose a candidate, however he believes in NO minimum wage which is utterly ridiculous.  He also believes that if you don’t buy healthcare, you should just die…obviously it’s a bit more complex than that, but thats what it ultimately means.  Sorry, but those policies are what’s holding him back from being an easy nomination for President.  Someone needs to get this clown Obama out of the white house …right away!! 

I love Michelle Bachmann, and have from the start. However, she is no Maggie Thatcher. Too bad!  The Democrats and  Rino Republicans would eat her up. There is a place for her and she is already in it; the Senate. As to Ron Paul, his stand on the rest of the world is a good one, but he fails to follow up with what he would do if the rest of the world didn’t behave. If you are going to leave everyone alone, then you better have a firm notion as to what you intend to do if Iran gets a nuclear weapon and then uses, or allows one to be used.

I agree, that from the beginning I liked Michelle Bachmann.  We need an individual that we can TRUST as being Genuine and understands the mess the United States finds itself…  I believe Bachmann walks the Walk, talks the Talk and Says exactly what she believes without any hesitation.  Obama has almost Crushed our Economy and we need someone HONEST to take back our Constitutional Republic.  We do not need just another Politician which I believe all the rest falls int this category.

I humbly PRAY that Michelle Bachmann gets the Republican Bid and Overwhelmingly DESTROYS Obama and the Socialist Democrats without question…!!!  Amen!

Agreed…both Bachmann & Ron Paul are strong, honest, patriotic candidates…but only one candidate has the intellect, the backbone and the strength to get America back to our rightful place in today’s world, and that is Newt Gingrich.  We can depend on him to straighten out the mess we are in and to become a respected world leader. 

i think i agree with you Glenn. she is honest and steadfast, she cares for this country and she has God in her heart and that is a good combo. it shows. i had to vote last night after seeing the small debate at a church in the mid-west, minus romney, and Michele shined bright! in all respects, she stood above all. i did like Newt, and i liked Perry, Cain and changed my mind on all of them. Newt is still in my sights, but Michele has NOT ONE THING I DON’T CARE FOR. AT THIS VERY MOMENT. SHE IS MY CHOICE. GOD BLESS HER AND KEEP HER STRONG FOR THE YEAR AHEAD OF HER. GOD ALLOW THE AMERICAN PUBLIC TO SEE WHO SHE IS AND USHER HER INTO THE WHITE HOUSE! PRAISE GOD FOR PEOPLE LIKE HER. AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU, GLENN BECK. HOLD STRONG!!!! BLESS YOU!!!!

i am not American, and like Glenn, I beleive in Michelle Bachmann………she has never waiver on her stance no matter how her results are…………she to me is also as close to a true constitutional republic candidate.  As American is suppose to be governed under a Constitutional Republic, Michelle Bachmann to me, is the real deal.

The actions of the Fallon band are the resoult of progressive education in all parts of American discourse.  Our nation no longer has any class, any leadership for the greater good, and most of all, no respect for our fellow human beings.  What does that tell you?  Do you even care?  If the present leadership of this nation is not drastically changed in the next election, we will have lost our legacy because of laziness.  Too lazy to keep up with the actions of the government and too lazy to be aware of who is involved.  With all the emphasis placed in education for decades, there is positively NO excuse for so many dumb decisions!!

I have consistently believed Bachmann to be a true conservative candidate. I know she is solid in her goals to return America back to the people and restore it’s  honor among the nations.  But because she is a religious person she doesn’t get any positive media coverage and because she’s a conservative WOMAN, she will never get elected. Unfortunately, our media and our nation’s male superiority mentality, she could not beat Obama, even though he is the worst of any candidate (and that’s being ultra nice to Obama).  I would be thrilled to see her jump ahead in the polls but until our nation experiences the Third Awakening, I don’t see it happening. She is too Godly for most of the populous and that is very sad!

So you like Ron Paul, how curious! Could it be that he would be the [spoiler] and get Obama elected? How you have changed the way you post strtlk?

Lets see……….. I’m sure I have your antisemitism right. What happened, did you get booted or just humiliated?

“Of course you would bring up the holocaust, just like Mr. Beck does in his unyielding support for Israel. Keep bringing it up as a means to bring your point home through fear. Hitler didn’t just kill Jews, yet jews get the most sympathy and most coverage, but what about the Polish and French?. I’m not denying the holocaust like some other wackjobs, however I am saying that card is getting old as it is brought up in just about every movie, and in every issue according to Beck. If you criticize israel, your automatically and anti-semite. Most of our problems is from our support for israel, most of our wars are because of israel, our filthy hollywood is made up of mostly jewish directors, jewish funded films, and mostly jewish actors. Timothy Geitner, Ben Bernacke, Feinsten, Ruppert Murdock……all jews, all in charge of the US and their financial affairs. Most of you just refuse to see the truth because you follow this clown Mr. Beck. Do some research and see for yourself. No hate here, just facts.”*

I also agree that I supported Michelle Bachmann from the beginning.  We need an exceptional individual, not just the same old Politician who have been Self-Serving and have acted with NO Respect of the People.  Obama, who is a Marxist,HATES the United States and WE the People. We need an HONEST true American to take back our Constitutional Republic from the Socialist Democrats and Marxist Obama.

I humbly PRAY the Michelle Bachmann gets the Republican Bid and Overwhelmingly Crushes Obama in the 2012 Election. 

 In addition, I PRAY that after Obama is Beaten, our Government Immediately uncovers Obama’s past and uncovers the Socialist Democrat’s past and anything they did against the United States, they must be thoroughly prosecuted landing them in prison where they belong.  Amen!

I believe that three or four of the candidates would make good Presidents.  It will also require placing key people  (no Czar’s) who belive in our Constitution, in key positions.   

Why? Why do they hate US? Give me the reason.

Michele Bachmann has voted to EXTEND the PATRIOT ACT!  I have posted it on the the Glenn Beck interview of MB yesterday with a link.  The link shows Judge Napolitano interviewing her on Freedom Watch and questioning her on her decision to vote for the extension.  She even states that she would have to see what is in the Act for another possible extension when it comes up again for renewal!  A candidate that states she is for limited constitutional government must be true to this belief 100%.  The Patriot Act is one of the worst offenders of trampling on your constitutional rights int the last 100 years.  If you don’t believe me, please do your own research.

BTW, Ron Paul is the only candidate who truly stands for the Constitution 100% of the time.

Just when I think I could not respect Beck to any higher degree, he comes out and takes the whole in-your-face-corrupt-GOP-Establishment-thing to the next level and endorses the closest thing we have to Ronald Reagan: Michele “Joan of Arc” Bachmann, the worst nightmare status quo corrupt government has ever faced.

I noted, Glenn, that you said you would vote “if I were a Republican”.  Why is it that voters are LIMITED because of their declared or undeclared political affiliation?  Is this country a free country or not?  Why is it that a Democrat cannot vote for a Republican unless he switches parties?

I have nothing against parties, but they seem to be run like unions:  You cannot work (vote) unless you join, and that, my friends, is NOT democracy, that is cronyism at the very core, and needs to be dismantled.  Independent voters are always wooed by the two parties, and that’s fine, but it sounds very much like you stated at about 3:25 in your statement that you couldn’t vote in the Primary “because I’m not a Republican”. 

This means, as an American, you have NO SAY in who gets nominated to represent you, does it not?

I’m not ready to throw in with any candidate yet, but I do believe a change of politicians, like a change of diapers is needed when things get dirty.

Let’s see. China is evil. They have nukes. We trade with them. Russia is evil. They have nukes. We trade with them. We support dictators around the globe depending on how we benefit from it.
Hmmm.

Don’t give me that good vs. evil bullshit. Evil is apparently subjective. At least to our government.

The only reason Iran is an issue is because of our support of everything Israel does.

I can’t believe that Glenn has not met with Ron Paul!  Candidate or not, he embodies ….unpolished all of the tenants of the constitution and small, limited government and must be praised and acknowledged.

I can’t believe that Glenn has not met with Ron Paul!  Candidate or not, he embodies ….unpolished all of the tenants of the constitution and small, limited government and must be praised and acknowledged.

Not if we had policies that followed the constitution.

Don’t let polls sway you.  Vote your way, not your neighbor’s.

Marines:  Like the USAF, go directly to the target, walls or no walls.

I can’t believe that Glenn has not met with Ron Paul!  Candidate or not, he embodies ….unpolished ….all of the tenants of the constitution and small, limited government, and must be praised and acknowledged.  Perhaps if his “advisers” guided him to to polish a little he might better address the legitimate concerns of voters that aren’t as ……”total.”  A little “margin” in his stance could go a long way.

I will speak of ONLY your Iraq troop withdrawal comment.  No time right now to go into everything you stated.  I just wanted to make one simple point there that you are dead wrong on.  Congress DID, in FACT, declare war on Iraq.  Bush asked them to, and they did so.  They did much more than assent to it, you know.  Historical evidence proves beyond any and ALL doubt that Congress declared war on Iraq before invading Iraq.  It’s the war with Libya right now, Obama’s war, that Congress didn’t declare.  You seriously need to take the blinders off, son, because you are ignoring reality.

Sunshine Kid, I don’t really pay much attention to the polls myself because I could care less about them.  However, the sad fact of life is that they are usually pretty accurate at times.

You my friend, are awesome. Nice post.

I agree.  I like her more today than I ever had.  At the first couple of debates I held my breathe when she was called upon but not anymore.  I’m amazed at her depth of knowledge and poise. 

I hope the fact that Bachmann is the first female to run for President on the GOP side does not go unnoticed.  She has made me very proud. 

Your comment is narrow.  China does not have a religious commision that demands Israel and the United States’ extinction.  You missed the rest of what Jeremy wrote.  He knows what he is talking about.

Was Kelby’s post hateful? There’s nothing hateful about calling it like it is. Bachman is a conservative when it suits her personal and religious beliefs. She is not a constitutionalist.

I know this is not going to be popular with you Kingwassabi, but have you ever read the Bible?  Muslim extremists hate all things Jewish and all things Christian.  We represent the line of Abraham to them that is not from Ishmael.  To them, the USA represents a Christian nation (despite the fact that many traditions are disappearing).  No coddling, pacifiers, or band-aids are going to make any difference.  Now do you get it?

Ron Paul shows naivety, as smart as he is, and as much as I respect him.  I really think his foreign policy is disastrous.  I wish he were solid on this central issue, otherwise I agree with Glenn: Michele is the real deal.  I highly regard Santorum too.  But, all three of these people speak the truth and don’t put their political finger in the air to see which way the political wind is blowing.  BTW, I will not vote for Ron Paul.

I hate it for you kingwassabi, but I fear you are deaf.  You heard Jeremy give you a web site to inform yourself.  No more whys until you do.

I can agree with you on the one point..that government should not interfere between a woman, her health, and her doctor. However, I have had three long-standing views of “fertilized eggs”. Please allow me to explain.In this country there is a law prohibiting destruction or even harm to an eagle or its eggs. The penalty for doing so is a $5000 fine and 5 years imprisonment. My question is this; If we impose such harsh punishment for the harm or destruction of an eagle’s egg…because we know that inside that egg grows a baby eagle, then how can we not also know the same about a human egg, or fetus? Secondly, we know that only living things grow, right? So that tells us that since the human ’fertilized egg’ is growing, then it is living. My last point is that we adults, as fully developed, birthed and educated ‘fertilized eggs’, we know that dogs’ ‘fertilized eggs’ produce only baby dogs; likewise cats’ ‘fertilized eggs’ produce only baby cats; horses’ ‘fertilized eggs’ produce only baby horses; and so on and so on. Given these three points of understanding, it would seem then there is only one logical conclusion…the laws of our government are obligated to “interfere” on behalf of the living, growing, ‘fertilized egg’ of a human because, like all other ‘fertilized eggs’, a human egg can only produce a baby human. One last thought that I have is in the form of a question; why all the fuss about the legality and rights of unborn baby humans when there is such an EASY fix to end ALL the debate? It’s as simple as birth control, which prevents impregnation in the first place. If fully grown, mature humans are grown and mature enough to be producing ‘fertilized eggs’, then should we not also be mature enough to simply swallow a pill or better exercise our “rights” to  choose some other birth prevention/control before a baby human egg can be produce?. If not, then there is another human life now created simply for lack of use of birth control, and must be considered when discussing abortion of the growing baby human inside a womans’ body.      

Laurie, if Glenn,Hanity or Greta et al would do an interview with Herman ,reviewing both his 2010 and 2005 books everyone would get the real background on this amiable, highly capable but humble gentleman. And,they should throw in the great–as usual–interview Greta did w/Mrs Cain along with family members after the so called scandal. Greta got very personal, and Mrs Cain didn’t bat an eye talikng about Herman’s character staring with his flirting ways to get his first date with her.
Likewise, former Okie Congreesman JC Watt’s 2003 book is listed right along w/Herman’s at Amazon. I’ve finished  reading/studying all three. Cain went to JC for advise when Cain was in the Georgia Senate race. Here’s the exerpt from Cain’s 2005 book (pg12):
Cain wrote, “…I  asked Congressman Watts about the culture of Congress, whatI I  could expect if elected, and the nature of leadership in the U.S. House & Senate”
Watts answered: ” About 15% of the members are interested in aggressive policy change, in setting and leading an agenda,  and in taking their policy agenda to the people. Then you have 15% who lead some of the committees,  try to protect their sandbox, send some pork back home and get reelected.”:
Cain asked: “Well, what about the other 70%.”
Watts answered: ” The remainingg 70% are just happy to be there.”
Well, for those who say Cain doesn’t understand Washington’s ways, I suggest this excerpt is just a small bit to learn about Herman’s knowledge in preparation for the Presidency. For sure, Herman is not ,never has been, a quitter on pursuing the job he is qualified for and wants, AND successfully manages..
Laurie, like Watts , Cain has proven in his life to be a “think-out-of-the box” leader. “Politician”, no. “Visionary”, yes, especially as he details his Presidency in final chapter of 2010 book.  Starting with “no more than one Presidential Ball, and and his “first 90 days in the Whitehouse.”

The left are pushing for Ron Paul.  I don’t know why, but I suspect it is because they feel he can be easily defeated.  This turning from the left to one single candidate (Ron Paul) makes me highly suspicious of those who are obviously so lame-brained that he is their first choice.

Every left-leaning person that emails me has made the same selection; not one of them for any other candidate, and I have to ask the question, “WHY?”

Sex does not make the leader.  Many good women have been good leaders in other countries.  Many men, on the other hand, have been terrible leaders.

The only thing to be careful about is the underlying political agenda of ANY politician.

The fact that Iran is muslim and muslims have a jihad against infidels have any reason for Iran to hate both us and Israel make sense to you?

Why do you think Obama declared that the US is no long a Christian nation?  To make friends with Christians, or to stave off attacks by muslim nations, Iran being one of them?

Kid, the left is pushing Ron Paul because of his followers who are fanatics and will try and convince Ron Paul to became a third party candidate. The “Ross Perot” maneuver that got Clinton elected.

It’s that simple. Obama only won by 53% of the vote. Most elections are just as tight. Obama has lost a large percent of the Hispanics, 10% of the Black Vote and is losing the Independents left and right.

Splitting the vote and dividing the country is Obama’s strategy. Just listen to his speeches if they don’t make you sick, it’s just that message over and over.

He can’t run on his record or the economy. Taking 5 seats in the Senate is as important as winning the Presidency. Either one will neuter this Marxist idiot.

“TMP”

I wouldn’t completely agree with you on your statement:  True, we have no hope, but the change is something we did not bargain for.  Obama did what he declared he would do – fundamentally change America.

The lame stream media will do all it can to promote a candidate that Obama can defeat and destroy any candidate that will seriously challenge him.

She makes a lot of sense, but I’m just not sure how capable she is of running the Executive Branch of government.  We need someone with actual large-scale leadership skills and organizational savvy, both of which Pres. Obama is completely bereft.  In fact, Obama is just a spokesperson for himself, and that’s his full-time job, the only one he can handle. He still has no clue how to actually be an effective president.  I would hire him as a spokesperson in a second, but wouldn’t dare let him actually run anything.  Without his wife’s father, he’d still be an obscure “community organizer” from Kenya.  (Wait, did I say Kenya? I meant Hawaii. Duh.)

I’ve loved and agreed with Glenn (most of the time) for so many years. This is so disappointing. On the social issues, she’s on the extreme right. I’m sure she’s all about freedom, so long as those freedoms are in line with her religion.

She is exceptional like Glenn said but i don’t no if she can be elected.Same with Herman Cain I think he could be higher in the polls except for Gloria Allred an those women she pulled out of the wood works now since he has slipped in the polls I’ve heard no more from them it’s like they were bought in to ruin him now u don’t hear nothing Hmmm quite strange don’t u think? Glenn stay the course to bad you won’t run 4 pres you would have my vote.

Great point sunshine kid!     If a candidate has good credentials, what does it matter the party.   I have to agree-I was a Democrat until I smartened up!    If someone comes along though, happens to be a Dem, but  shares my believes..he’s in.    Haven’t found one yet, but that doesn’t mean he/she isn’t out there.   

Our system does need change.    Can’t stand the thought of what we need to go through before that happens.

Amen brother.  Darrel Issa has started the process-let’s see how far it goes.

I hate to say this but i’m tired of hearing about Ron Paul he will not be elected so let’s all get on the same accord an get someone in there that’s gonna beat Obama! Well I guess it’s ok for u people to Dream about Ron so u have my permission Dream On.

This STATEMENT by G.Beck reminds me that ONLY EXCEPTIONAL PEOPLE can IDENTIFIED W/SOMEONE LIKE M.Bachmann! Beck is TRULY a STAND-UP GUY! he’s NEVER AFRAID AS A MATTER OF FACT I WILL DESCRIBE HIM w/ONE WORD: “ICARUS” does what others in his position will HESITATE ABOUT BEING SO OUT-SPOKEN!! If any thing makes my BLOOD FEEL LIKE IF I had been exposed to a “FURNACE” is when I see other FELLOW-AMERICANS ACCLAIMING THAT THIS PREZ. IS SO GREAT! They DO NOT SEE nor want 2 RECOGNIZED that this man should have them in a state of PERPLEXITY or at least have some SKEPTICISM about this NEW FOUND AMERICA THAT THIS MAN HAS BEEN TRYING TO CHANGED IT INTO! A great majority NEVER THOUGHT HOW EXCEPTIONAL OUR NATION REALLY IS!!! People this is it! OUR LAST OPPORTUNITY & we BETTER “GAS UP” before ENTERING A complete DESOLATION where there will be no OTHER CHANCE 2 get our NATION BK FROM THE HANDS OF THESE HIGH JACKERS!!! Bachmann 2012! GO MICHELLE!!! Helena

DESERT!

I fear someone gets in and is eaten up by the liberal machine.   I do like Bachman, Paul and Cain, but unless something exceptional happens, they ain’t getting in!   It’s an inescapable conundrum!  

That’s exactly what I mean Ron this Ron that this has to be coming from the LEFT PERIOD.

I have always felt Bachman would be perfect candidate to clean-up(white) house!!

Marc K,
I suggest you check your facts!!!!  Michele Bachmann did NOT vote for the Patriot Act, she wasn’t in Congress in 2001!!!!!!!!  She voted for three extensions of the Patriot Act. (the extensions were not unconstitutional!!!)   Please do your homework before posting inaccuracies.

I don’t know, Michelle Bachman has sort of flip flopped several times on certain subjects and depending who the audience was, the answers each time were different. The thing is, she is only human, and the interviewer had ulterior motives in the “gotcha” moments.  The problem is, a person can have a core conviction and if a personal incident happens the core conviction goes out the window. She and her husband have a clinic that among other things treats homosexuality as a treatable illness.  They don’t force homosexuals to come in for treatment. Somehow, an interviewer made a reference to the clinic and she kind of blown off the answer quickly by saying it was her husbands clinic.

The 2012 candidates all have good talking points, but Bachman and Cain each have made reference to the number one problem of our economic mess is “Government doesn’t create jobs, and should not interfere with private businesses.” That and repeal ObamaCare. 

Bachmann is at the top of my list to vote for 

there is no reason for glenny to ever to stopp calling it like he sees it through those dilusional glasses. me makes more money at that than he ever could by any other means. he knows nothing of lincoln or washington though.
gwendelen needs one of those sociopath palin gunsites on him and his families foreheads

I would say both, and justifiably so.

I’ve watched and listened to your interview with Imus today, and I will tell you that Obama will be a ONE-Term president. YES, Obama has and will unleash all his Chicago ‘thugs’, drum-up all kinds of lies and innuendos, just like what he’s done during his previous election campaigns in Chicago politics and the Senate. His strongman for this endeavor is David Axelrod, and of course all the operatives at SEIU, the supposedly defunct ACORN and his ‘Generals’ in the Labor Unions, will make the presidential election the “dirtiest” election in our history. The riots in Wisconsin and now the OWS riots is just a pre-cursor of what’s ahead. However, the Americans have awakened, the fact that under Obama’s administration, the country has suffered a lot of hardships, from unemployment, foreclosures, riots and chaos, not only locally, but world-wide. Furthermore, our National Debt has soared to a staggering amount, that many economists are predicting  the economic demise of our once great country. Yes, unless Obama is not stopped or prevented from cheating or continue to create crisis after crisis, he’ll be gone after 2012 !
My predicament is, which GOP presidential aspirant is really the best candidate to be the next president of our country. Everyone seems to have a baggage that the Obama can easily use to discredit them, especially with the mainstream media helping in his reelection campaign. Many of them have, sometime or another, deviated from the Conservative ideals or had personal problems. Then, you might be right that Michelle Bachmann is a good choice, as to her character and conviction. But she doesn’t have the ‘fighting voice’ a thunderous voice the likes of Trump and Sarah Palin. I’m still undecided…..!

She is NOT electable! She is a plain old fashioned idiot. She fits in better with the frontier conservative Democrats of the 19th century. She wants federal mandated intelligent design in the science class when it is so clearly not a science! She hates all the gays and thinks homosexuality is synonomous with polyagmy. Her foreign policy stinks, it’s just a retread of Bush’s foreign policy. Meanwhile, she has taken plenty of federal hand outs for her home. She has nothing on Washington or Lincoln, such as she lacks brains, a spine or even common sense.

I don’t have a “good feeling” about Bachmann……. I don’t think she can do the job.  She knows her facts, but she’s not direct with her answers.  Like someone we know……she talks about “me” and “I”….  I just don’t feel comfortable with her…….

blasphemy for comparing michelle bachmann with Washington or Lincoln. as far as bacmann being exceptional, yes, she is, exceptionally stupid.. i should know, i’m in minnesota, she’s made more misstatements aboutfacts than anyone else in politics except for maybe, ron paul. like i’ve said, before, if bachmann is somehow elected, we will all see our rights and freedoms being taken away one by one.

Gotta hand it to you, Glenn.  You get a ”good” on this one.   Others have come and maybe dipped a bit in

my ”like” category as a candidate, but Bachmann has never left my radar.  Still am pulling for her.

If she becomes the candidate, sure as hell hope she is electable and doesn’t get the Palin treatment.

What am I saying?  Of course she will.  The lame stream media just can’t help it.

 The real reason they don’t want to abandon Afghanistan is, because of the Exxon Mobile’s pipeline pumping oil from Afghanistan. George Bush Jr. brags he went to Iraq for the oil, to show off to his affluent friends. So instead of half the national deficit, we have it double, they want to build permanent bases in Iraq and Afghanistan, so big oil, and the Republican’s can get rich. So why do they want to make Afghanistan a permanent duty station so they can protect the interest’s of big oil and the pipeline, before they started drilling and pumping oil out of Afghanistan, the country was considered the largest untapped oil resource in the world. They don’t talk much about the pipeline now because the Billionaire’s and corporations have silence everyone. I don’t vote and support neither party, nor will I be a registered voter, ever, because I never register to vote. George Bush Jr and the Republican party wanted to control the oil infrastructure of Iraq, and Afghanistan to enrich themselves, Billions traded for the corporations, while America accumulated Trillions in national debt, not such a good trade off, but it was for 1% of the population. The people of Afghanistan live simple lives as farmers and ranchers, living off of mountain goats, and sheep’s, and simple crops, too stupid to realize what they have an abundant source of natural resources that they do not benefit from, while Hamid Karzai hordes over 100 Billion in secret accounts for himself. The people of Afghanistan use horses and donkeys, and pick up trucks, as their main weapons, while military contractor’s keep building new weapon system’s for themselves and get richer, America goes down hill in debt. China owns 11% of the national debt, and Japan owns 10% and they are over 200% over GDP in national debt. So who owns most of the national debt Private Security Firms profiting off the national debt of the U.S.  They want to go to war with Iran that will cost the U.S. 90 Billion a year, instead of executing precision strikes.  Like Iraq, they always have known, since they have too much oil, no economic sanction will work, and only by declaring a full scale war can they actually bring about change.The real reason they don’t want to abandon Afghanistan is, because of the Exxon Mobile’s pipeline pumping oil from Afghanistan.

Marian,  I’ve said before that I like Newt.  I also said he has a lot of baggage which, if he becomes a

candidate, the lame stream media would love to exploite.  If Allen West doesn’t intend to run, then

we only have those who have already declared themselves.   In any case, whoever runs will always

make it a vote against B.O.   The feeling of doom will be if B.O. gets reelected.

I personally like Ms. Bachmann, but to be realistic I don’t think that she can debate Omama.  We need someone who can stand up to Obama and challenge him on all of his records. (That of course won’t be hard to do)!!   She is truly a Christian lady and I like her but she needs to get tougher than what she is and like I said I don’t really think she can debate Omama…  Ron Paul does not support Israel and if we are going to be blessed right along with Israel we have to stand with her.  The bible is plain and simple we win in the end.  Praise God!!!

Seems to be going just as you stated, Kid.  Whoever is up in the polls is the one the ”lamers” (easier

and faster to type than the whole lame stream media thing) have and are attacking.  Does that mean

those are the ones they are afraid of or merely because they might be a likely candidate?

Someone prayed to Yahweh and asked Him why He hasn’t sent someone that would discover a cure for cancer. Yahweh answered and said”I did my child but you aborted him” Just a thought you might consider when you say that a fertilized egg is not a person.
May Yahweh Bless you and keep you and may His contenance fall upon you

As I understand it, Kid, it depends on how the various states set up their elections.  Some have open

primaries where one can vote in any party, but the general election is party affiliated   Some states

will let the person vote at all times only in the party to which they belong.  Don’t know if there are any

states which have open elections in everything, disregarding party affiliation.

I think a candidate that wants our vote, could say, USA property is more valuable than any in all the world.  If president I would declare that all US property be valued at it highest – when the housing market started to decline.  All property taxes would after 1 year return to their highest rate.  People would again feel the prosperity.  In one stroke the country would be the best again.

@So There  

Re: your remarks on splitting the Rep. party vote—I’m hoping that does not happen.  If there is a

candidate who does that it would be a really dumb move, because it would be handing the vote to

B.O. and that is something this country does NOT need!

“Fathom the hypocrisy of a Government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured …. but not everyone must prove they are a citizen.” Ben Stein…

Michelle Bachman is exceptional, but more and more is becoming a politician with a strong tendency to slant the truth.  Newt Gringrich has shown himself to be more in tune with the heart of the issues than any other candidate. He has a grasp on the realities of the world we live in. Imagine this. A nuke is heading into mainland USA. Is it on a plane, a boat, a mule, or strapped to the back of a child? All real scenarios. I’m sorry. He is head and shoulders smarter than the other candidates only lacking the will to make himself comprehensible to an average joe.

In response to what this video is about, i am in whole hearted agreement that the best declared candidate so far is Michelle Bachmann.  And from the revealed emails it is clear that the news media are actively collaborating against her to supress her candidacy.  If i were her, i would file a 1 trillion dollar lawsuit against cbs for what they are doing as revealed in those emails.  and i would threaten all the other BS news media entities that they too would be on the end of just such a law suit if they in any way acted in the same manner.  It is time for the american people to take back control of a runaway press, which is no longer independent, but is now an arm of the DNC.

As for Ron Paul, forget it!  I’m not interested in bringing about WWIII.

Some of the others i could vote for, but two i absolutely could not vote for are RINO Romney, and even more RINO huntsman.

That’s why I voted for McCain
What a waste!

Glen,why dont you change partys just so you can vote for mrs, Bachmann. Thats what i did.

Glen change partys so you can vote for M.Bachmann.
Thats what i did

Well, Obama has accomplished something that none of the republican candidates will (don’t know about the other democrats).
That’s personally visiting all 57 states.
As far as who is smart enough to debate Obama, they don’t have to be smarter than Obama,
They have to be smarter than his teleprompter.

this makes no sense… Ron Paul is your choice, but you don’t agree on a free market…  It makes me laugh when people are for free markets on everything but Healthcare and Education and those are the two things that are the worse off.  Minimum Wage keeps less experienced and educated people out of the work force because they’re not worth that minimum amount yet and unless an entrepreneur is going to give charity to this person and overpay, these people won’t get jobs.

As someone who was introduced to Libertarianism by Glenn Beck, i’m very sad to see in the time that he has left fox that I would find him not supporting Ron Paul… Ron Paul is my choice because of what Glenn Beck tought me.  Sorry Glenn, but I just don’t understand.

I’m with you brother, she’s been my pick since she made her announcement.  She has the will to do what is constitutional and bring the country back to where our founders intended.  To me, she is the only one that has said the right things, consistantly, and you cannot do that if it isn’t in your heart.  Sarah Palin would be my next choice, but I am afraid she would polarize the vote.  It’s a shame there are so many that have been influenced by the media, that is what is hurting both Michelle and Sarah, and our country, the corrupt propaganda from the media.

Ron Pauls foreign policy is to live and let die.  He would allow Iran to develope nuclear weapons and turn a blind eye when they vaporize Israel.  He said tonight, in the debates; “We should just mind our own business.”  “Israel can take care of themselves, they have 2 to 300 nuclear warheads, they don’t need our help, we should just get out of their way.”
That simplistic and naive attitude will result in a World War and the whole middle east would be a smoking crater, that’s quite a policy your man has there.

lee,  Not only did I vote for McCain,  I also, voted for Bob Dole.  What we won’t do to defeat the

opposing candidate!   Painful as that may be.  Don’t have too many presidential elections in my

future and I want to, at least, vote for a winner next time!   Even crazy Uncle Pete if he can defeat

the present man in the WH.

I presume you mean the modern state of Israel. The Christian has already received every spiritual blessing in Christ (Eph. 1:3). This is because Jesus is the king of Israel who has fulfilled all prophecies in his death and resurrection (Luke 24; 2 Cor. 1:20). Our home is the heavenly Jerusalem. If a person needs to stand with Israel to be blessed not only will it shift attention from Christ but lead to wrong political decisions.

In a recent Harris Poll, Paul beats Obama 51-49 and the latest Public Policy Poll has him beating Obama 48-39 among independents. Dr Paul is more attractive across more groups than any other Republican candidate. He is attracting more people to limited government conservatism than anyone else.

I’d like to invite anyone who does support Michele Bachmann to our group on fb. We have action items etc… that you can do to help her win etc…  http://www.facebook.com/groups/mbachmann  Closed group, supporters only, no trolls to deal with. Hope to see you supporters there!

I’ve been impressed with Michelle Bachman from the beginning.  At this point though, it doesn’t look like she’s able to garner enough support to pull ahead in the polls.  Although, myself, I don’t put much stock in polls.  Several comment here that they support Ron Paul.  This is Paul’s 3rd run for President.  He clutters the field as far as I’m concerned.  When he said we should have conversations with Iran, befriend it, that was enough insanity for me.  You don’t befriend nor is there a way to work with insane leaders.  The reality is, we need to unite at some point with one candidate, and get Obama out of office.  This isn’t a sports game.

I’ve been a fan of her’s since first seeing/hearing her. there’s nothing about her that has done anything to decrease my admiration for her, I’d love to see her become the first to be elected from the house to potus in over 130 years, first female potus, and 1st “TEA party”  endorsed, but the realist in me says she’d be vilified somehow, even though her biggest mistake thus far was blowing elvis’ birthday (not a biggie to me). would love to see her as the vp choice, and then potus in 8 years. i know she’d wipe the floor with gaffe a second biden in debates. i doubt i’ll even vote in the primary as nj moving back to june again pretty much assures irrelevence again. obviously i’ll be voting for change from this regime, whoever it is, and praying everyday that there is no 3rd party challenge from the right, one from the left would be my wildest dreams come true. where’s ralph nader when we need him, or even dennis kuchinich or van jones, jessie jackson sr or jr, or even a flea party (or is it lice?) candidate, haha

Sorry Sunshine but can’t resist – Air Force formation flying = “Same way, same day”.

good point

I’ve been for Michelle all along. I’m not sure why the media dropped coverage and called her unelectable.

Thanks to both USMC and USAF many of my fellow Army Security Agency vets are home and in one piece. We called, and you were there because “taking care of business is your name”.

Glenn, I have always respected you, but on this one you are wrong!  Michelle would never be able to beat Obama, not because she is not smarter, but because they will and have Palinized her.  she doesn’t have the base or the fortitude to stand up to him.

Ron Paul is dellusional, his ideals would get us ALL killed!   THAT is the dangerous world we live in!

It will never happen, say hello to Dictator Obama

Why are all you Ronbots so short sighted????  it’s NOT about just one issue, one fix, things are far more complicated than just auditing the fed.

Im from MN and I’ve seen her good works for a long time now. I would be more than happy to vote for her.

We said same thing about Soviet Union…oh my god they’re gonna bomb everyone…same thing about N.Korea getting nukes, oh my god they’re gonna bomb everyone…typical war propoganda machine raking in more bucks for banking elite….Glen pull your head outta your behind and start looking towards the only candidate who KNOWS the constitution. I started watching you for that reason, I thought you REALLY believed in this. Ron Paul is ONLY candidate that does NOT flip flop on issues and votes according to constitution. Oh yeah, Bachmann voted for TARP…doesn’t understand BASIC economics.

JERK !!!!!!

Really…How’s Iran gonna get their ONE nuke over here???…

kingwassabi can not help it, HE IS A JERK !!!!! dose not know what he is talking about…

Absolutely agree with you that MB is exceptional.  However, I strongly disagree with your published comments that Obama will win the next election.  We do NOT need that FEAR MONGERING and for that reason I am unsubscribing to all of your output – radio, tv, printed, email, etc.  We need someone to encourage us and push us on in the right direction and not give up more than a year ahead of time.
Bye bye Glenn!

WHAT POST  ???  Is Your Name “Kingwassabi” ?????

I too like Michelle Bachmann. It’s just too bad that she doesn’t stand a chance. The media has convinced all the sheeple that she’s no good for them, no good for our nation. Look what we got last time for people listening to them. I would hope that this would teach many that they must learn to think for themselves and see past the pablum the media is spoonfeeding them.

You may think so, Marc K, but Ron Paul is also a head-in-the-sand isolationist, who doesn’t see a problem with Iran going nuclear. Still think he’s the best choice? I wouldn’t vote for him, and as I see it, he’s only splitting off important conservative votes. Anyone who votes for him is throwing their vote away, as the majority of voters do not take him seriously. 

I honestly have a real problem with Michele Bauchman and I use to admire her. She is the teaparty queen; yet here in Missouri the teapartys across the state were endorsing Chuck Purgason for Senate; yet dispute all the calls that were made to her office she went against the will of the teaparty and endorsed Roy Blunt!!! It left many of us asking…A typical political favor?? A typical politician? She let many people down here in Missouri. Not only that when she was scheduled to have a dinner meeting with Roy Blunt in St. Louis; the teaparty was waiting for her to confront her as to why she ignored us… and  she was a no show!!!! No explanation was ever given for why she went against the teaparty!!! Look it up on the internet; we in Missouri witnessed it first hand. We do not need anymore slick talkers and politicians who scratch each others back. I will admit she comes across with good intentions but I could never vote for her at this point.

First…You are a liar about Bachmann voting for TARP. She was the loudest Representative AGAINST it.
Second…USSR is not Islamic radicals, they do not have SUICIDE bombers, because they are not religious fundementalist that believe in dying for ALLAH. You did see the 9/11 catastrophe??? Same goes for N. Korea, they are not suicidal. Pull YOUR head outa your ass.

I have talked with many Ron Paulers and I have found about 50% are anti-semites…they love Paul’s foreign policy to live and let die…namely, Israel. Many will not admit it unless you ask naive questions about Paul’s foreign policy, then eventually they will say we don’t need to get involved with Israel. Just as Ron Paul said in the debate, “We should just get out of their way, and mind our own business.” Anti-semites love that attitude.

Ron Paul is too extreme for the Tea Party.  Legalize all drugs, leave the states to uphold the immigration laws, and a live and let die foreign policy.
Millions of people that joined the Tea Party, like myself, in 2009, did so because of the radical ideology of OBAMA, not Ron Paul.

Yep.  Narrowed my choices to Santorum and Bachmann last week after listening to Cain.

As good as she is Glenn, she can not win.  The dems hate, hate conservative women.  She could not stand up to the withering assault, a debate between Obama and Michele would result in that deer in the headlights look she gives.  I love her but we need a warrior.  And all bets are off if Hilliary steps in.  
This is going to be a blood bath and we need David against Goliath.  We are righteous and just but they are not playing by the rules given Holder,Van Jones, chicago, Soros and Obama.

I understand compassion, I understand God, I understand the situation we are in. Does that mean he should vote for me to be president? We need a candidate that can pull this country together and lead us back to prosperity. Romney is the only candidate I see now in the runnig who can do this. Besides I feel he meets all  of the criteria Glenn uses for selecting Bachmann.

What a pity the candidates don’t concentrate on reminding the public about the disasters Obama has incurred and how they could be rectified rather than trying to pull each other apart is beyond me.
People have short memories and Obama’s deliberate, it now seems , efforts to destroy the U.S. should be their centre of attention.
A president who refuses to protect his country’s boundries e.g. Arizona and Texas is appalling but the list is endless.
The latest is his refusal to purchase Canada’s bountiful oil which would require a pipe line being built from Canada  which would provide thousands of jobs.
It makes one wonder though that a society who would vote a man in with his history of non achievements will ever wake up.

I can see it someday.  A best seller: a post modern historian describing the wisdom, intellect and leadership abilities of Michelle Bachmann to George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. You’re right; the author is Glenn Beck. What exactly has Michelle Bachmann done in her career to warrant such praise? She spent as much time in front of Fox News cameras and running for President  as she has on the floor of the House. What piece of legislation has she authored that would give any of us an inkling as to what she understands to be necessary role of government (either subtracting or adding)? Populist wave riding (small waves statitically speaking) is not a criteria for leadership. Abolish the EPA, DOE and Dept. of Education–not exactly new or unique positions this year ( not to mention that all of those staking a claim to this position know it will not happen; and for those of you living near any major city; you might want to consider what your air and water will look like if you take out the EPA). Foreign policy qualifications?  Ok, still looking for some or at least a position of substance on anything here. She would be even more inept at foreign policy than Obama. We know she is opposed to gay marraige and abortion, so those are two clearly defined positions. For being consistent on these issues, she is to be commended for being clear about her position irrespective of your view on the merits. She has a long string of factual misstatements that she does not retract, even after being informed by her own staff that she was wrong. Stream of conscious thought is ok for  people who blog ( myself included). I do not need my President to have it as her modus operandi. Tax repeal, encourage jobs, heard it all before. She has no clear cut or detailed economic plan.

Finally, as a practical matter, except for her supporters, does anyone else actually believe she can beat President Obama? The liberal media is not her problem; that is counterintuitive. If the media is in Obama’s pocket, then why do they not want the Republicans to nominate the least electable person, so that Obama looks like Lincoln? Bachmann and cranky old Ron Paul would be their dream candidates. Michele Bachmann lacks the depth to capture the vote of independent voters and disaffected Democrats that will be necessary to vote out Obama. And Obama needs to be voted out.

I don’t distrust any of the GOP candidates and I think it’s a shame that Glenn feels the need to lead us around by our noses.  I don’t really care who Glenn trusts the most since he has immediately written off some of the candidates and speaks of them only in dismissive terms.  He has been remarkably closed-minded concerning the candidates and I feel picked his favorite(s) early on and immediately dismissed the others. Keep on thinking we need you to make up our minds, Glenn, I am not sure I even trust your judgment anymore. Your fame has given you a God complex and you need to come back down to earth where the rest of us reside.  Perhaps a little humility needs to come your way right about now. It seems every week Glenn gets preachier and preachier.  I used to love the irreverent humor and witty insight, now he just seems like a Nun whacking our knuckles when we get out of line and dare to disagree with him.

When did I say I wouldn’t vote at all?  I simply said I couldn’t vote for any of them in good conscience.  I voted for McCain in the last election, but I didn’t feel good about it.  I thought he was a horrible choice, but better than Obama.

I admire her willingness to serve, but it takes more than that to make me think she has what it takes to be President, and as of yet, I just don’t see it any of them.  However, there is a long way to go.  She may surprise me.

I just don’t buy it.  I think MB & NG are constitutionalists.  I heard Glenn say today, that Newt is a progressive.  I was really surprised he said that and didn’t get to hear it all.  I just know, every time Newt or Michelle speak, I get excited by every word.

It is not just Beck… A lot of the BIG NAME conservative bloggers have started backing her…

She is going to win in Iowa http://thebachmanncometh.blogspot.com/2011/11/pamela-geller-on-bachmann-i-want-her-to.html

Glenn,
 
I am 22 years old, and I am extremely worried about the future of liberty in America, and I’m terrified of the idea of another four years under ANY careless president. I pay attention to the government, I’ve paid attention to what’s going on. I’m a self employed, 22 year old, white woman. I was home schooled from 1st grade through to my high school graduation, and I went to a vocational college to become a certified nurses assistant. I want a president, a government, who isn’t going to punish me, for working hard.
I have watched and listened to you for a while Glenn, I’ve been very busy working with my business, and I also work as a youth leader at the church, and haven’t caught you on the radio or had time to check your website. After watching one of the debates last night on CNN, I wanted to know who you were supporting.  I have found myself to line up mostly with Ron Paul, And no, I’m not just one of “those” young people, a “Ronbot” and I’m not a “9/11 truth-er”, And I am certainly not an anti-Semite, and I believe that America should support Israel. I would really like to know why you wouldn’t vote for Ron Paul.

Desperately Seeking the Truth,
Manda

We have no treaty with Israel. They have nukes and even their former mossad leader said attacking Iran would be stupid. They can fend for themselves. If Israel isn’t going to do it, why should we?

@chamberrain:disqus

I went to his website. So what?

The former Mossad leader said that bombing Iran was stupid. We have not treaty with Israel. Israel has hundreds of nukes. They can fight for themselves.

As far as the Bible goes………Yea. I read it. Jews are no different from muslims. They both reject the Christian God. But we aren’t talking about religion are we? Aren’t we talking about Iran and the “state” of Israel?

How is Steven doing?  I praying he recovers.

AMEN.  You see the heart…it is the heart of Jesus. 
Spirit sees Spirit.  Trust God.  Vote for those who truly know Him, she does…you are Right on this.

Why to vote for Ron Paul. A true Patriot, Constitutionalist, and a founding fathers’ best friend for the 21st century.

* A pro-energy candidate – Remove restrictions on drilling, repeal the federal tax on gasoline, lift government roadblocks, eliminate the ineffective EPA, make tax credits available for the purchase and production of alternative fuel technologies, etc.
* Common sense immigration reforms – Enforce border security, no amnesty, abolish the welfare state, end birthright citizenship, protect lawful immigrants, etc.
* Keep more of your money – The repeal of the 16th amendment, implementation of flat or fair tax, eliminating taxes on tips, etc.
* End the Fed
* A pro-America foreign policy – Secure our borders, avoid long and expensive land wars, eliminate the Patriot Act, end US nation building, follow the Constitution before war is waged, only send our military into conflict with a clear mission and all the tools they need to complete the job and then bring them home, etc.

Above is just some of what Ron Paul stands for. Please take the time to view his website, his stance on the issues, and his “Plan to Restore America” below.

http://www.ronpaul2012.com/the-issues/ron-paul-plan-to-restore-america/

I love Glenn Beck. I have been in support of Michele for some time now, but this just reaffirms my support for the both of them. Michele Bachmann is the only candidate who has been consistently conservative on the issues at hand and has never wavered. I give her my full and complete trust to save America.

Glen you have influenced my thinking for many years now. I’m from Minnesota, Bachmann is a great congresswoman and I was very excited when she announced she was running. I also Really like Rick Perry and Herman Cain, but now your “unofficial support” of bachmann is going to make me think harder on who i vote for in February in the caucus and will consider Michelle bachmann much more seriously.

She’s honest,I trust her word,and she’s smart. Maybe we need her in Congress…definetly need to hold the seats and gain 5 in the Senate.

I think she’d root out the problems,no matter where it leads…….and don’t even get me going on the tax issue. She’has the creds.

Are you sure we have no treaties with Israel? What about these?
Treaty of Peace between Israel and Jordan, October 26, 1994 (Signed by William Jefferson Clinton)
US-Israel Free Trade Agreement- April 22, 1985
US-Israel Memorandum of Understanding on Strategic Cooperation, November 30, 1981
Peace Treaty between Israel and Egypt, March 26, 1979 (Signed by Jimmy Carter)
US-Israel Memorandum of Agreement, March 26, 1979
Camp David Accords, September 17, 1978 (Signed by Jimmy Carter)

Huh, I guess you were wrong.

Please, how would Iran do that?  Besides, Israel is fully capable of defending themselves.  We are bankrupt and you want to declare war on Iran.  Yeah, thats a good solution. Not.

I’m sorry to say it, but it is not Ron Paul supporters who are shortsighted.  It is the people who are scared of Iran that are shortsighted.  It is those who are swayed each day by little government reports about how terrorists are going to sneak into your house and kill you that are shortsighted.  It is those who think big brother can protect them from evil terrorists that are shortsighted.  Ron Paul supporters are the only ones who can see the police state growing around us, because they believe in liberty.

Great analysis Glenn … Michele is the only one that can get this country back on track… We need to stand up be counted and support her in every way….   And do it now!!!!!!  Thanks Glenn for your support and contrubutions….  UR the best!

If you think we can keep Iran from going nuclear, then you are the one with the head in the sand.  Think about morals for a second, instead of yourself.  People do live in Iran, ya know.  

Great analysis Glenn… Michele is the only one that can get this country back on track…  We thank u for ur support and look for more help from in the future..  We all need to stand up ..be counted …pray and contribute to her support now !   Glenn ur the best and thanks….

Overturning Roe v. Wade doesn’t make abortion illegal, it would pass the legality to the states.  I’m sure some states would keep it legal, like California.  

yeah maybe   … but he is just as Godless as those Communists!

I would rather have Obama president than Romney, because a closet fascist is worse than an open one.

Why is no minimum wage ridiculous?  Please explain.  The dynamics of the free market would allow the problem of too low wages to work itself out, and without state dictations, people would truly get paid the value of their work.  Most wages would not be lowered anyway, because people wouldn’t keep the job.

So ??? What have u got to hide… I bear my soul before God and country everyday…only a cowardly sniffling terrorist needs to keep secrets…  Lets not have the law help such people..  What are u nuts. 

You’re right…its amusing because you can’t be for a free market if you are not for it across the board. 

So must we kill Iran since they are suicidal anyway?  How are you going to prevent Iran from getting nukes?  Besides, how could Iran ever vaporize Israel?  You sound scared and insane.

The only candidate who is “exceptional” is clearly the defender of liberty and the constitution, Ron Paul.  The other candidates on the stage are bloodthirsty chicken-hawks.  Vote for peace Ron Paul 2012.

If Ron Paul got elected, we throw a flippin welcome matt to ALL of our enemies and say “Here we are! Come and blow us up!” Get a grip on reality… There’s a saying, “Kill the snake in the parking lot before it comes into your house.”

Whether it be legalizing Dope or Non-support for our ONLY diplomatic ally in the MIddle East, or his RIDICULOUS notion that we should barely defend ourselves Ron Paul is a lunatic and his MISREPRESENTED the Constitution… NOT follow it! As spoken by multiple candiates, “States have NO right to do wrong.” Ron Paul does not believe that.

“Go kill Iran?” Is that what your brilliant little pea brain deduced from my comments? I deal in reality. When you put down the pipe and face the facts, you’ll be amazed at what you can see.
Like, Beck, I only take these people at their own words and actions. I believe them when they say they want to “wipe Israel off of the face of the earth”. Do you even have a clue as to the damage that one or, two nukes, could do to Israel? And then…just imagine the retalition that will come from other Muslim states when Israel launches ten more nukes into Iran. Do you think the world will just ignore these actions?
It is better to be quiet and let them think you are ignorant, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

She batshit Glenn, She’s batshit.

In reply to “Rothbardian” concerning my earlier comment about Ron Paul thinking that it was ok to let Iran go nuclear, and his remark concerining his opinion of my morals or the lack of, “people do live in Iran, ya know”. Does the word “duh” mean anything to you? I think it applies here. I was neither suggesting that people don’t “live in Iran” or that it was ok for Iran to go nuclear, exactly the opposite, although my concern is less for a nation of fanatical jihadists who dance in the streets passing out candy after they see planes flying into buildings as it was for our own nation, in which quite a few people also live “ya know”. My point was, (if you’d put down the crack pipe you might have been lucid enough to realize this) that we don’t need someone for President who is going to make the Iranians or anyone else feel just that much more confident about building nuclear weapons. Now, if I may make a suggestion or two. First of all, before you make snarky little comments disparaging mine, or anyone else’s morals, motivation or intellect, be sure you know what the other person is actually saying, which you obviously did not here. Second, if you are going to make such a remark next time, be man, or woman enough not to remove the option for me to reply to you. Finally, I have a question I would like to ask you; which do you think would be the more likely to make Iran, or anyone else think twice about hitting that red button? Another appeaser (which it seems likely we would get if Paul were to be elected, not that he stands a snowball’s chance in hell) or someone who will let it be known that the US will do whatever is necessary to defend our soil, and our lives, both here and abroad. We’ve already seen what just 4 years of having a sissy in the White House who bows to the Arabs has done, I myself don’t care to see anymore of it. We don’t need another liberal or an ersatz conservative putting our soldiers or citizens in harm’s way by giving the terrorists more encouragement. 

Seeing that you were never going to vote Republican in the first place, that makes all your comments about the GOP Candidates irrelevant, right?

“TMP”

@ToddScheller:disqus

Defense treaty you homo.

You’re a Horse’s @$$   who care’s what you think

They hate us for what they are and we are not!    We are infidels-it’s that simple!   

 The communist/ socialist media wants us to think otherwise-what a wonderful chance to change minds.   It couldn’t just be that we’re a Christian nation, no it’s much more sinister than that.

I don’t think Bachmann could win against Obama. However, I think she could run against Al Franken and win and be an exceptional senator.

You were obviously too busy trying to insult my intelligence that you forgot to answer any of my questions. How are you going to prevent Iran from getting a nuke? I deal in reality as well – I am well aware what Iran says about Israel, but that doesn’t give us the right to control them. Are you going to put sanctions on Iran? Thats inhumane, people live there. You should take your own advice and be quiet.

What makes you think I wasn’t going to vote Republican? Don’t assume things, because it makes you look stupid. I will vote Republican if the candidate nominated isn’t a closet replica of Obama.

Besides, even if I wasn’t going to vote Republican, am I not allowed to have an opinion on the candidates? Please, think before you type something so ignorant next time.

Because you’re not. I’ve read your crap and if you are trying to convince me that you were then you’re an idiot.

You can have all the opinions on the GOP candidates you want but they don’t mean spit.

I’m always thinking unlike people like you who assume that people like me don’t know what you really are.

Take a hike with your moronic replies.

“TMP”

What is your problem? You can’t have a normal discussion without throwing out insults nonstop. Get back to me when you think about the concepts of liberty and the free market. Life isn’t all about whether or not who is going to vote Republican…I could not care less about Republicans. My point is that Romney will not be much different than Obama, in the same way Obama has not been much different than Bush.

Go ahead and respond with random insults and put downs, but I will still stand for the principles of the free market and peace long after you are done.

Not only do I trust Michele Bachmann, but I will strongly support her. Go Bachmann!

What’s your problem? Didn’t you read the reply you made to me?

I was right, you’re a Ron Paul fanatic. Let me refresh you with your reply to my comment:

” Don’t assume things, because it makes you look stupid.”

“Please, think before you type something so ignorant next time.”

Take your crap somewhere else, hypocrite. You’re first reply to me was not the makings of a normal discussion.
I replied in kind.

“Pisca mignato lontunis lr pasakykite det sataa”

Stay stupid, you’re good at it.

“TMP”

You first implied that my original comment was irrelevant. This is insulting because it means that I do not matter. Therefore, you were the first one to put an end to a rational discussion. Isn’t it reasonable that I would try to defend myself? I never said you were ignorant or stupid, I said that what you type can make it seem that way. You, however, called me an “idiot”, “hypocrite”, and told me to “buzz off” and “stay stupid” twice. Not quite a proportionate response.

Being a Ron Paul fanatic is not something I should try and deny. I won’t deny it, but I will encourage you to read about some of the philosophy I believe in. A good start is mises.org, or lewrockwell.com. I don’t really expect you to do it, but perhaps someone else will read this. While I follow Glenn a lot and have for several years because he is a good guy and interesting, I disagree with him on some points.

I didn’t imply anything Roth, I outright said that the opinion you made was irrelevant. If you’re going to try and defend your comment about Romney being a fascist then give it a go. You want to insult me with your rhetoric have at it.

You’re the second Ron Paul fanatic to attack me with this veiled phony information that I’m sure is based in fact in your mind.

The last Ron Paul follower tried to convince me that everyone who didn’t follow Ron Paul was a follower of Satan.

I knew who you were when you first replied to me though you didn’t see fit to come out and say what your agenda really was.

Yes you are a hypocrite because you don’t see the insults you throw at people but whine when they are posted to you in kind. Yes you are an idiot if you think your post was a prelude to a reasonable discussion and yes I called you stupid because you truly are.

I told you to buzz off because, well, I wish you would buzz off.

If you think you are going to show favor with me because you followed Glenn Beck, sorry about that, it’s not happening.

You’re going to be one of the reasons Obama gets re-elected and that’s something that will destroy this country and if you fail to see that because you are so wrapped up in your philosophy and dogma then you are myopic in your view and destructive to the Country and it’s survival.

If the people decide to give Ron Paul the nomination then I will vote for him but as the bigger picture looms across this land and with it’s survival at stake, I’d vote for Micky Mouse over Obama.

So, as I’ve said before, buzz off, I’ve seen it all before, it’s called “The Ross Perot maneuver”. Who do you think you’re talking to?

Stay stupid, you’re good at it.

“TMP”

I fully agree.  He’s against the patriot act, he wants to overlook problems in the middle east as though it was another planet, and russia and china would love to have him as president, as we (america) wouldn’t last one full term of his.  He thinks we can just bring out the peace pipe with Iran, or with any of our foes, the problem being they just don’t understand us nor we them – a laugh. He keeps associating muslim extremist with the likes of timothy mcveigh.   He looks, talks and acts as he is mentally unstable.  He is simply not electable. His followers follow him as faithfully as the followers of the Jim Jones cult did.   I agree with some of his domestic libertarian policies, that’s all.  Bachmann is a good congresswoman, and unelectable as a president too.  I’m personally for Newt which is in quicksand now due to his remark on illegal immagrants.  I hope he can convince me and others he will not give amnesty to them all.  He could chew obama up in any debate and the most experienced of them all

Another words, to you every republican candidate is a progressive other than Ron Paul??

 In reply to smarternu
Mr/Mrs Smart, we came a hair distance from nuclear war with the soviet union but we discovered their nukes in Cuba and forced them to remove them.  What would Paul have done, say they deserve them there because we had nukes in europe? If it were not for the deterent of our troops in S Korea and our past assistance to S Korea, the south would have been vaporized.  Iran could destroy the complete government of Isreal witha nuke, do you know how small Isreal is?  One nuke from Iran could kill over a million directly in NY if exploded there.  Iran’s navy has now traveled through the panama canal and close to the pacific american coast.  Regan was correct – peace through “strength”.  As a result russia’s eastern europe folded.  The #1 goal of government is to protect our country and its citizens from foreign aggressors

You have the faintest idea what you’re talking about.  In response to one of your previous posts about what to do about iran developing the bomb – “BOMB them” dummy.  Team up with isreal and do a “conventional” bombing raid with bunker busters and special forces from both american and isreali armies – take out the facility!  But you suggest isreal do it themselves with a nuke.  You and Paul are suggesting to isreal to go nuclear right off the bat.  You and the rest of Paul followers would follow Paul right off the world if it were flat.   

Through our defensless borders or from a missle fired from one of their navy ships.  The IAEA, a progressive UN affiliate, says they are on the brink of a nuclear weapon.  Who knows that they don’t already have one now or next monday?? Who really knows.  Can america afford one chance in a million for a nuclear weapon to go off in one of our major cities?? Anyone willing to take that chance is insane

How would the U.S. be justified in a preemptive bombing of Iran? We would then be guilty of what we think Iran is going to do to us. It is not morally right, or constitutionally right unless we somehow pass a declaration of war on Iran.

I am not suggesting Israel do it with a nuke, I am just saying that Israel has plenty of militaristic capabilities. They have dominated every Arab country that has challenged them in the past. Besides, if only a facility needs to be taken out, then I think that would be relatively simple to do with some bombs, no nukes.

China IS evil.  They don’t need to use their nukes – yet anyway as they’re destroying us economically without firing a shot.  Russia IS evil too.  Don’t under estimate them one bit.  They’re in the process of building up their millitary to surpass ours.  They’re constructing of the largest naval submarine bases in the world in hugo chavez’s home town as i speak.   Evil is very “objective”.  It is also china’s and russian objections to our sanctions which might force us to take military action against iran……………..LSU #1 !!!!!

Does anyone remember the show “Rocky and Bullwinkle”? Michelle Bachmann sounds EXACTLY like Rocky the Squirrel – exactly…The glow of her eyes, opening widely and not so widely, over and over, grinning ear to ear, just turns me off!!!  It is so “fake”.  She is not presidental material

And you, along with your buddy Ron Paul, have come up with no better answer except turn your back and let them destroy each other. “We should just get out of the way and mind our business.” – Ron Paul, GOP Debate, Nov., 22, 2011.

Its the only moral way to treat the situation. Otherwise we will have to kill people unconstitutionally and without trial. Thats not something I want my government doing.

If the state thinks it can solve the problems with Iran, it is wrong. It is another case of government trying to fix problems it created. I don’t think the state has a solution to Iran that won’t dig a deeper hole. Israel may continue to dig this hole, but shall we follow them down? Instead, we should focus on free trade, because as the old cliche says, when goods don’t cross borders, soldiers do.

I don’t think Paul could last his first term without being institutionalized for psychological help.  So i’d make sure i really liked his VP before voting…The man looks frantic

I don’t follow…why would he be institutionalized in his first term after he has been consistent for the past 30 years in congress? Perhaps he is frantic because he realizes he is the only one standing up for liberty. But anyways, Judge Andrew Napolitano would be a good choice for VP.

Unfortunate for her and Palin, the mistakes that they have made have far outshadowed any credibility with the sheeple who consume mass media outlet gibberish.  Not that I am extremely in favor of Palin myself, but I believe that her character has suffered tremendously and not many have given her a fair chance since.

He does not understand the Iranian President’s  mentality.  It is not rationsl and that could lead to disasterous decisions is he saw him as a normal person and thought he could deal with him that way.

Based on her portrayal of Gingrich’s  comments on immigration as “blanket amnesty”, I question her exceptionalism. She appears to be playing the same old, tired, sleazy political game of mis-interpreting what a political opponent said and casting it in the over-simplified sound-bite attack that we are all so tired of (I hope). Immigration, social security, Medicare, etc. have no simple “sound-bite friendly” solutions that a politician can express in thirty seconds or less. Apparently, Bachmann lacks either the integrity to not play this game, or the intellectual capacity to comprehend creative solutions to difficult problems. Either way, she’s certainly not exceptional.

lol!…“She’s exceptional.”..exceptionally stupid…

Ron Paul’s foreign policy is to bury his head in the sand, disarm his country, kiss up to our enemies and abandon our friends.  It’s almost as suicidal as Obama’s.

Bachmaa is indeed exceptional.  Best overall candidate I’ve seen in my lifetime.  But that’s why the media and the Republican establishment both hate her and are doing everything in their power to discredit her campaign.  She has my vote and my support no matter what.

Those were wonderful,emotional words,Glenn.I am beyond thrilled that you recognize the exceptional candidate that Michele is.You brought me to tears.To bring America back to what our Founding Fathers intended it to be-Bachmann 2012.

There are many things that I can admire about Bachmann, and many things I don’t.  Overall, though, I wish she wouldn’t slam other candidates and organizations and people and just talk about what her own plans for Presidency are.  To be honest, I’m not alone here.  Many people are sick of those same old tactics.
