Who Will Stand Against Obama Part 2

So will the next candidate on the GOP side be a sacrificial lamb who will be slaughtered against the wave of Barack Hussein Obama in the next election? Is that way the current slate of possible candidates is holding back?

No, I don’t think so. I have more faith in the American people than that. I think that this election has to be as much of an anti-Obama election as it is a pro-Tea-Party-infused-Republican election. We have to home in on all of the negative things Obama has done to our country at the same time as we highlight the strengths of the movement back to first principles. We have to focus not just on the man or woman who will represent us, but the entire movement behind him or her. That the strength comes from the ideals and principles, and not from narcissistic dictatorial fiat.

In a sense, we have to present that we ALL stand against Obama, not just the candidate. If America sees that, then we will win. And America can be restored.

Bachmann At CPAC

Now I had heard of Michele Bachmann prior to CPAC, but I had never heard her speak. She said all of the right things, including:
America is the indispensable nation of the world

and
Free markets work. Let them!

Barring the terrible grammar of the first one – completely agree with both statements. There’s been talk of a presidential run.

I have to be practical. That’s my thing. Maybe I should even start calling myself “The Practical Libertarian” (hmm – not a bad idea). Watching and listening to her speak, and I’ll be honest, since that all I can be, I thought that she was a slightly less powerful imitation of Sarah Palin. If I were choosing a candidate to go up against Obama in the next election, I’m sorry to say that it wouldn’t be her. Then  again, as much as I like the guy, it wouldn’t be Ron Paul either.
