WILL WOMEN LEAD THE REPUBLICANS OUT OF DARKNESS?
MICHELE BACHMANN - TOUGHER THAN NEWT!
In case you haven’t been watching, the most exciting conservatives in the country are Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin. They have been way out front in discussions about core conservative values….and have walked the talk! Palin was the first Republican to break ranks with the wussypants Republican establishment when she endorsed Doug Hoffman over disgusting RINO Dede Scozzafava in NY’s 23rd district. Others followed, like Minnesota’s Tim Pawlenty, but only after he read the polls and decided the Republican conservative base was supporting Hoffman. Michele Bachmann led the November 5th gathering at the Capitol that was attended by tens of thousands on a week’s notice to protest ObamaCare. She has been very vocal at calling out Obama’s socialistic plans. Another Republi-babe is Liz Cheney who has laid many a verbal butt whoopin’ on Hussein Hopenchange. See a pattern here?
AWD has noticed in the tea party movement there are more women involved than men! Many of the tea party organizers across the country are women who are patriots in every sense of the word. And tough! Which begs the question, will the wussypants Republicans be led out of the gigantic hole they are in by conservative women? Tired, old pathetic men like Newt Gingrich, John McCain, Pete Sessions, John Cornyn and others have been disaster zones in following conservative core principles such as fiscal responsibility and limited government. In fact, many have criticized the tea party movement for supporting those very ideals.
Perhaps Palin’s VP candidacy opened the door for curvy conservababes who will fight for conservative principles much harder than the old, corrupt, white haired dudes we now have. I hope so. I would much rather watch Bachmann and Cheney dissecting libtards like Chris Matthews than watch McCain kiss their asses. The times they are a changing…and it’s about time!
The only balls in the GOP belong to Palin and Bachman. My God how I despise the rinos like Gingrich, Graham, McCain et al. The GOP is morphing from within RIGHT NOW and the old country club republicans can’t control it. They are being reduced to only a secondary level of importance. Who do you think draws larger crowds, Bachman and Palin, or Graham and Gingrich? When the transformation is complete, the rinos like Graham, David Brooks, David Frum et al will be out of power and of no use to the Socialist/Democrats, and will be discarded like a used tampon. Just ask the “maverick senator from Arizona, John McCain”. And that stupid old bastard STILL can’t figure out why the NYT turned on him. The rino’s are destined to be hated by BOTH sides, as traitors usually are.
I’m not convinced that Palin has got the right stuff. She sounds like
McCain on illegal immigration. What’s
her stance on affirmative action?
If we’re going to be saying that some
are RINOs and some aren’t, what are the criteria? For me, her stance on
the two issues I mentioned are more
important than whether she goes
hunting moose with a Bible in hand.
I do like that she annoys a lot of
liberals, but that isn’t enough for
me to support her as a candidate for
President. This country is very sick,
and I think an amnesty pretty much
seals our fate. A good leader would
understand that. Crap, I’d probably
put a moratorium on all immigration
right now.
AWD:
IMHO, I prefer ONE good-looking Conservative babe (notice I didn’t use the “R” word), over ALL of the combined fag RINO’s (Graham-Cracker, Gangrene, Shirley McCain, etc; ad nauseum) any day.
Keep those babes coming.
But, hey, that’s just me.
HOORAH !!!! 100%
If this column by Debbie Schlussel is any indication, Bachmann may be the better of the two female candidates you mentioned!

I respect the Minnesotan more than the Alaskan, whom even my mom when she saw the interview saw Palin as less than genuine.
If Palin has the same feeling as McSame on amnesty, then she’s not for me.
Jim, I agree, I want to know a lot more about Palin’s beliefs. But she has sure captured the conservative base these days.

What Observer said…
Nice little article:
“”Subject: Another Failed Presidency
An article from American Thinker by Geoffrey P. Hunt
Barack Obama is on track to have the most spectacularly failed presidency since Woodrow Wilson. In the modern era, we’ve seen several failed presidencies–led by Jimmy Carter and LBJ. Failed presidents have one strong common trait– they are repudiated, in the vernacular, spat out.
Of course, LBJ wisely took the exit ramp early, avoiding a shove into oncoming traffic by his own party. Richard Nixon indeed resigned in disgrace, yet his reputation as a statesman has been partially restored by his triumphant overture to China.
But, Barack Obama is failing… Failing big. Failing fast. And failing everywhere: foreign policy, domestic initiatives, and most importantly, in forging connections with the American people. The incomparable Dorothy Rabinowitz in the Wall Street Journal put her finger on it: He is failing because he has no understanding of the American people, and may indeed loathe them. Fred Barnes of the Weekly Standard says he is failing because he has lost control of his message, and is overexposed. Clarice Feldman of American Thinker produced a dispositive commentary showing that Obama is failing because fundamentally he is neither smart nor articulate; his intellectual dishonesty is conspicuous by its audacity and lack of shame.
But, there is something more seriously wrong: How could a new president riding in on a wave of unprecedented promise and goodwill have forfeited his tenure and become a lame duck in six months? His poll ratings are in free fall. In generic balloting, the Republicans have now seized a five point advantage. This truly is unbelievable. What’s going on?
No narrative. Obama doesn’t have a narrative. No, not a narrative about himself. He has a self-narrative, much of it fabricated, cleverly disguised or written by someone else. But this self-narrative is isolated and doesn’t connect with us. He doesn’t have an American narrative that draws upon the rest of us. All successful presidents have a narrative about the American character that intersects with their own where they display a command of history and reveal an authenticity at the core of their personality that resonates in a positive endearing way with the majority of Americans. We admire those presidents whose narratives not only touch our own, but who seem stronger, wiser, and smarter than we are. Presidents we admire are aspirational peers, even those whose politics don’t align exactly with our own: Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, Harry Truman, Ike, and Reagan.
But not this president… It’s not so much that he’s a phony, knows nothing about economics, and is historically illiterate and woefully small minded for the size of the task–all contributory of course. It’s that he’s not one of us. And whatever he is, his profile is fuzzy and devoid of content, like a cardboard cutout made from delaminated corrugated paper. Moreover, he doesn’t command our respect and is unable to appeal to our own common sense. His notions of right and wrong are repugnant and how things work just don’t add up. They are not existential. His descriptions of the world we live in don’t make sense and don’t correspond with our experience.
In the meantime, while we’ve been struggling to take a measurement of this man, he’s dissed just about every one of us–financiers, energy producers, banks, insurance executives, police officers, doctors, nurses, hospital administrators, post office workers, and anybody else who has a non-green job. Expect Obama to lament at his last press conference in 2012: “For those of you I offended, I apologize. For those of you who were not offended, you just didn’t give me enough time; if only I’d had a second term, I could have offended you too.”
Mercifully, the Founders at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 devised a useful remedy for such a desperate state–staggered terms for both houses of the legislature and the executive. An equally abominable Congress can get voted out next year. With a new Congress, there’s always hope of legislative gridlock until we vote for president again two short years after that.
Yes, small presidents do fail, Barack Obama among them. The coyotes howl but the wagon train keeps rolling along.

later you run out of other people’s money.”

Well said! Enough of my money has been given away.
By golly, I see light ahead in this “Obama tunnel”!
In the mean time, I buy more ammo.
First and foremost,my apologies in advance for going off topic.
But..
The following video was shot,only a few blocks from where Hillbilly Jack attended the last two Tea Parties.

In addition to my usual,and very legal “gear”,I will be adding a pair of steel toes and a very tightly wrapped roll of nickles,(gotta feed the meter after all..hehe!)for my next Tea Party appearance.
If its a rumble they want,its a rumble they’ll get!
Hillbilly Jack
NOTE: In case any of you missed it today,Rush interviewed Sarah Palin and for the first time,that I know of,when asked about illegal immigration,she supported the conservative position.
There…back on topic. Hehe
You go Palin!!
Michelle Bachmann is the real deal….
She’s sharp, conservative, takes no shit from anybody and can be a ball buster when she needs to be….
This country needs more people like her…
Hillbilly Jack:
The roll of nickels is a good idea. A good supplement to my ball peen hammer —–carried by Hell’s Angels, but we never know when we might have to break glass to get out of a disabled vehicle, now do we?!?——and my legally permitted to carry concealed handgun. I don’t want to hurt anybody, but if the choice is between my blood or life getting shed and someone else’s, the decision is a no-brainer. If I remember correctly, you are a TN redneck patriot, same as me.
You forgot Marsha Blackburn and Liz Cheney!
I want to hear more policy issues from Palin, I heard her on Oprah (which I haven’t watched for over 20 years) I listened to the interview on Rush yesterday which was a step up from the non-significant pablum they ask her on shows like WaWa and others.
Rush got to policies towards the end…illegal immigration, the very end, 25 seconds or less so she didn’t have time to really get into it.
I know I’ve heard her before on Cap and Trade she was for, please remember her debate with Biden, Illegal immigration/amnesty (after the election as well) that basically followed McC/Kennedy model, sounded like she may be backing away from that, the other topic they did get to was global warming, which she has said previously that she believed ‘some’ of it was caused by man, but but…
Sounds like she has completely backed away from that too as well now.
What bothers me is politicians that go with the wind when their finger is stuck in the air politically going by polls etc.
She’s a great crowd pleaser, money maker, and a great backer…she did good on Rush, the best I’ve heard, it was bam, bam, bam…she answered succinctly and swiftly…much better than television.
Anyway…after I hear more from her on policy issues…I may change my mind about her, time will tell, but I have read a lot of how she got where she is on the past as I used to live there for nine years and kept up with Alaska politics…
I don’t know…anymore I have a hard time trusting anyone at times that is running…we shall see what happens.
Like I said, more policy issues that come up with other issues that matter to me, and her answers, will matter…I just hate already previously knowing what her stand was previously…
Of course by the time she runs, she won’t have to worry about any of these issues…they will be law by then if things keep going the way they are at the present.

I’m not a Hatfield,my kin come from the next county over and were just as mean,same blood different name.My “clan” never fueded with anybody except the filthy Yankee carpetbaggers,my Pawpaw and his brother liked to dynamite their oil wells.
Hehe!

The leopard can’t change its’ spots.
I like Sarah and she is great at pepping up the masses,..but I don’t want her for president.
Maybe she’d be ok somewhere in the cabinet?
Palin is pathetic. She is not someone that a conservative should put their faith in. She has few strong convictions and could easily be swayed on the big topics. I don’t trust her on illegal immigration especialy.
I disagree with you all on Palin. She has been nuked by the Media and her own so called Party and NOT backed down. She has been hardened unlike any other candidate in America. If she was going to fold, she would have done so by now. She would rip the Iranians a new asshole BY MILITARY, ECONOMIC AND PETROCHEMICAL MEANS. She understands the need for oil production and how the worlds politics and military interactions depend upon oil. I do not believe she will sell out her country for money, as did Clinton, or Communism, as did Obama. Next to John Bolton, she has the biggest set of balls in American politics today. She would make an excellent President and NOT SELL US OUT.

I would like to see Sarah Palin head up the RNC.

HJ…
What a perfect spot…man oh man can you imagine what she would do to raise money, crowds, and the right pick for who to back!
I couldn’t agree more…I love your thinking.
Bobachek…
Couldn’t agree more about Bachmann…I love that gal…have posted about her here and there a lot…she’s one of my favs in the House.
Hillbilly Jack:
I’m hoping & praying for that also!
FIRE STEELE & HIRE PALIN!!!
